  Did You Tend To Question The Organization Or Did You Just WANT To Believe?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  i know some who always questioned the elders, the society, and others because they were typically skeptical.. there are those who just seemed to want to believe whatever they were told.. i was more a skeptic, during my last decade.. .

  Reading through all of your comments is encouraging.

  Growing up as JW never allowed me to have an opinion of my own, the Watchtower Org' told me what my opinion should be on all matters...........and God would find some way to punish me if I had the audacity to ignore what he told me through his FDS/GB

  I never wanted to be like the head nodders at the meetings ooohing & aaahing over some trivial 'new light' & yet I wanted their certainty, their assured hope of the New World & living forever in paradise.

  Why was I troubled by so many questions & they weren't.

  Why would god be happy with non thinkers & not be pleased I was using the brain he gave me to think logically.

  And yes why did prophecy have to have a second fulfillment.

  Why did the trumpet blasts of Revelation get fulfilled at the Cedar Point Ohio convention..........where NONE of the 'New Light' that shone out at that assembly is now believed by today's JW's.

  When I was in my 'prime' many years ago there was an assembly where young sisters were told if they were interested in a young man they should ask him what his spiritual goals were, what his field service hours were, was he reaching out, was he a MS, was he a pioneer or working toward pioneering.........

  Some of the brainwashed girls I knew tried this...........The consensus between me & my mates was, 'if you don't like me for who I am then get lost & try to find Mr perfect JW elsewhere...........if you can'.

  Rant Against the Borg HERE! NOW!

  by Mad Sweeney in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do you have a particular set of issues that really honk you off about the borg?.

  would you like to just vent sometimes without having to engage in a drawn out discussion of the topic?.

  are you reluctant to post your rant on someone else's thread for fear of hijacking it?.

  These accounts are so very sad.

  I too knew of a husband that gave up his military career, gave up his pension, sold the large house he & his wife had so he could pioneer during the years leading up to 1975 the year the org thought it would be appropriate for god to begin the millenial rule of Christ.

  What happened?

  His money ran out, he had to take up poorly paid menial work, he developed facial cancer & died an agonizing death. His elderly wife is still struggling to the meetings, often goes home to her very modest municipal accommodation crying because comments from the audience show how many are now convinced just a few 'foolish brothers'......... '1975ers' went ahead of the society & that the organisation never said Amrageddon would come in that year.

  I loathe the organization, it is hard, unloving, proud & stiff necked, certainly not 'faithful & discreet' . It is happy that new ones do not know the truth of the role the Watchtower organiztion of Jehovah's Witnesses played in whipping up the expectations of the R&F regarding 1975. This loathsome beast of an organization is happy to erase embarrasing passages from their publications so any that do research using the 'society's CD's will be convinced of the foolishness of brothers & sisters that made life changing decisions because they 'went ahead of the Jehovah's organization'.

  During the memorial last night the speaker read from Revelation 14 to show who make up the 144,000. He came to verse 5, it say's No lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless.

  The leaders of the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses are now happy to live behind a lie regarding their past & can no way be the ones mentioned in Revelation 14: 1-5.

  I'm sorry I came over so strong in the first instance............just testing you.

  The jury is still definitely out as to the origin of your voices though.
