  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

  A picture so outrageous, it deserves its own thread...

  by cedars in

  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.... .

  The January 1st Watchtower Admits That JWs Have Been Wrong As To Their Expectations Of The End!...but

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  they excuse it by saying, it's ok since at least they were on the watch.. i believe they should think about god's view of watchmen who constantly gave false pronouncements.

  they would be judged accordingly by god!.

  Thanks gang.....YES....it was a fantastic highlight to my glorious exit from the insanity.

  It doesn't surprise me that so many haven't heard of this.....they have gone out of their way to cover it. Imagine how surreal it is to hike through a lonely, quite cemetary.....to supposedly find this......on the site of the man God....er, Jehovah.....chose to lead his people in the modern era.

  I was laughing.....and...at the same time wanted to kick my own ass! LOL

  ....and yet another.....you can see I was in one hell of a mood.......my face hurt from laughing for a week.

  If you're a JW and looking at this.......do your homework. Pull out that lovely DVD they gave you at the District Convention a couple of years ago featuring Chuck and Joe.........these guys were nothing more than whackos......at least Rutherford found a way to steal millions of people's money........
