I had one of the most vivid nightmares that I can remember in a long time. There I was driving with my family. They are dressed in their Sunday finest. Im dressed in tshirt, shorts and flip flops. That was odd because I never wear flip flops. Anywho, we pull up to a large building which seems familiar. We walk inside and holy crap, its the district convention. I always attended the DC in Cleveland. Some of you may have been there. I was walking around inside the arena section and not the hallways. The meeting was already in progress. I could feel all 7000 eyes on me. The speaker stops and points to me and says "what joy we have when a sinner repents!" the crowd bursts into applause. After the assembly I get back to the cheap motel we were staying at and my mom says "arent you glad you are back". We go out to eat and its my whole congregation at one long time. They each take turns making comments about me. Saying things like I was foolish for ever leaving.

It seems stupid in retrospect but I woke up in horror thinking I actually went back. Has anybody else had any nightmares like this. I cant stop thinking about it.

Summing up the Jehovah's Witnesses

by Knowsnothing in

if you could describe the jehovah's witnesses, in a sentence (no run-ons please) what would it be?.

.

jehovah's witnesses are mostly harmless; just don't join 'em..

MrFreeze

Obviously lwt has thought about this more than most.

JW, why think for yourself?

You'll lose your life and that of your children if you don't come back

by truthseeker in

it was a beautiful, sunny day.

i was in the supermarket doing an early morning shop when i see an old friend of the family, a jw sister.. she asked me if i'd gone to the memorial and i told her no.

she said that the end is so close what with all the earthquakes and brother truthseeker, you need to come back to jehovah otherwise you will die and so will your children.

MrFreeze

Talk about blackmail. If you dont join us your kids die. Thanks for the choice God!

"origins" of teachings/holidays matter, but not to anything JW

by oompa in

jw

jw's are always saying the origins of things are pagan...referring to all holidays and false doctrines that all other religions are chock full of.

so why does it not matter that the "modern day" orginazations origins were full of what we now know were false teachings?

and they followed one man...russel, then rutherford for many years...which is their own unique definition of part of what a "cult" is.. instead of placing any emphasis on how pagan or wrong the origins of early teachings of wt are...they simply say there has been new light.

MrFreeze

I never thought of that point before oompa. Great thread!

Undercover apostates...

by Maze in

i've observed some forum users here that claim to be active witnesses (even claims to be ministerial servants or elders) while duplicitously supporting apostates online.

my contention is this; why attend meetings and/or participate in the preaching activity when the second you divulge your apostate thinking into the congregation, you'll be disfellowshipped?

while this action taken may seem to be harsh, the outworking of events wouldn't be much different in one of christendom's churches.

MrFreeze

This thread is clearly a joke. At least Alice is reminding us why we are all here.

If this doesn't scream cult, what does?

by LostGeneration in

from the now infamous 7.15.2011 wt.

page 28, para 16 and 17-. we can enter into jehovahs rest or join him in his restby obediently working in harmony with his advancing purpose as it is revealed to us through his organization.

(italics theirs-not mine).

MrFreeze

Its amazing how ridiculous the JWs are when you step out of the "dub"ble. I just coined a new term. The JW bubble... Dubble

Is the governing body any different from Osama Bin Laden?

by Joliette in

jw
friends

justifying people willing dying over the blood tranfusion issue is the same as osama justifying killing anyone who did not agree with his religious beliefs?

?.

MrFreeze

At least Osama openly admits that he is responsible for the deaths of many as opposed to the GB who take NO responsibility.

Most recent Society lies about 1914?

by Essan in

as i'm sure we all know, the society has lied repeatedly in the past about what they preached regarding 1914 in the run up to that year, claiming that what was preached was that jesus was to become king in that year and his presence was to begin then etc, when in fact they were preaching that all this had already happened in 1874 and that the end of the world would come in 1914.. .

but does anyone know if they have repeated this lie about what they supposedly preached recently?

when was the last time they claimed this?

MrFreeze

They can spin it however they want, but the fact remains the WT prior to 1914 thought it would be THE end, not a precursor. Id have a lot more respect if they would come out and say th WT said it would mark the end and that they were wrong. Instead they just want to sweep it under the rug.
