  Well for the elders I served with.......having a Facebook account makes sense. They could switch over from watching porn, to spying on publishers.

  LOL

  I just found out a married guy that we 'privately reproved' for getting a blow job in a hot tub from another guys wife....a 'sister'......was just appointed as an MS.

  They are down to bottom of the barrel when it comes to appointing men. The good ones have left.

  Do you think the WTS is about to change the doctrine about 1914? If so, what are the signs that is under way?

  by EdenOne in

  what the title says.

  do you think the wts doctrine that says that christ was made king in 1914 is about to change?

  if you think that's being orchestrated and prepared, do you see signs of that already?

  Don't forget, during the past 100 years........God has been watching his precious, innocent children tortured, raped, sodomized, abused and murdered................................all to give a few more folks in your territory the chance to hear the Kingdom message!

  It makes sense right???

  I don't see them EVER giving up on two things:

  1914

  Disfellowshipping

  Why? Because 1914 is all they have...... at least the people that have grown up since the 1940's. Once they are dead.....MAYBE they change it

  As for disfellowshipping: people have DIED due to this cult law. To do away with it suddenly would bring massive lawsuits....... they are going to hold onto that doctrine come hell or high water.........or its going to cost them $$$

  Jan. 1 WT, Their confession for given incorrect dates for the end.

  by jam in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  have jehovah,s witnesses given incorrect dates for the end?.

  jw,s have had wrong expectations about when the end would.

  like jesus' first-century disciples, we have "sometimes" (lol).

  Yes......just imagine if you were someone in 1984 that so much as asked a question about 'this generation'

  You're labeled for life as an apostate and likely DF'd

  Anyone that doesn't see the hypocrisy of this cult is truly mentally and emotionally brainwashed.

  Are you now ashamed of how gullible you were as a JW?

  by biometrics in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  now that you realise how idiotic some of the jw beliefs are/were, do you feel ashamed of how gullible you were to believe them?.

  if anything my past as an adult jw makes me understand how easily manipulated people are by the people and environment around them.

  and that even intelligent people can be influenced beyond what is rational..

  I'm very angry inside for my mother. She never remarried, she loves animals and she thinks Paradise is any day now. Aside from we 3 kids, she is alone.........never experienced so many things in life because she was waiting for Paradise.

  That is when my anger get red hot.

  Ashamed? Only that I was a high and mighty elder and DF'd people. That disgusts me......I knew it was wrong while I was doing it.

  Otherwise, I LOVE...and I do mean LOVE laughing at this crazy cult now. I had a thread on here a month ago where I admitted my visit to Chuck Russell's grave was one of the funniest experiences of my life.

  How many went from christian to something else?

  by Satanus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i noticed some posters who used to argue along christian lines, but don't do so, anymore.

  granted, it's a tough line to keep to on this forum.

  i would be interested to hear (read) of people who came here as believers, and then transitioned to unbeliever, and the reasons for that.

  I was essentially a born in JW....became an elder that was used at the District/Circuit level...... no one would have guessed I would leave. They'd list me as LAST to leave.

  Now?

  I would probably say agnostic.........HOWEVER........I cannot wrap my mind around the concept of a God that would watch his precious children tortured, slaughtered, in misery and agony for a supposed 6,000 years............all because he's concerned about how 'his name' looks to a bully.

  I'm an ENFJ and a hardcore Idealist...... and candidly, if that's the God I'm supposed be intimately drawn to.....to worship and love....... it just isn't going to happen. If that Fred Franz, Universal Sovereignty concept is the 'truth'..........then He isn't worth worshiping.

  The BEST way to "wake up" a JW

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we have debated this over many years and in many threads, as all of us have family and/or former friends still in.

  it seems that there is no "best" way to wake up a jw, it is as elusive as the "true" religion it seems.. but a comment made by poster "emery" on another thread stood out to me, he/she said :.

  "what i have gathered is that most witnesses seem to be in it for emotional reasons.

  They only wake up if they WANT to

  OR

  They are treated so terrible, it forces them to take a harder look

  Most of them LOVE being sheep...........they just want to be told what to do

  2. beliefs

  i mean no disrespect to sd-7 or his fine thread on which this picture has already featured, but i think it is just so ridiculous that it deserves a thread all of its own.. lurkers and apologists, this is how your precious organization views itself.... behold the madness.... .
