I can't believe that witnesses were actually encouraging people not to finish high school back in the 70's and to pioneer instead. I can't believe it. That blows my mind. I knew that witnesses werent encouraged to go to college but not encouraged to finish high school???? Are you freakin kidding me. I came up as a Witness in the 90's, and by then, I wasnt hearing of too many witnesses not being encouraged to finish high school. But they werent going to college even though the organization was encouraging people to consider a trade or go to a two year college.

This blows me away!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bookmarking this thread for later.

Wow...I wonder if JW's even pay attention to the numbers anymore...This prophecy used to scare me the most. I can't believe how much of a joke it is...and how I based my life off this BS. But it seriously used to scare me. I used to picture old people falling into a grave and then the world coming to an end. There gonna have to realise some more new light to justify the #'s going up.

This picture below used to scare the crap outta me.

Man, where do I begin? So many people that I knew did 'worldly' things when they were away from the hall, but then it was 'holier than thou' when then got to the hall. Giving comments, acting like goody too shoe Christians, when it reality...ya know. Now I will say not everybody there is like. What you see is what you get. But there are a lot of people in that organization is fooling other people, like the GB for example. I think those men are the fakest JW's are the planet.

Are JW'S "hated" in all the world? Or...are they considered IRRELEVANT?

wathctower 90/1/1 p. 12 par.

8 not ashamed of the good news .

while it is true that jehovahs witnesses are hated and opposed in all the nations of the earth, this is in fulfillment of what was foretold to be an identifying mark of genuine worshipers of the one living and true god.

Joliette

Irrelevant for sure. Not important. An annoying religion with no say so in 'worldly' politics, social issues, etc. In their minds they are important, but the reality is...well, ya know.

Do Witnesses Ever Talk About Their Living Forever And Never Dying?

by minimus in

my 86 year old mother stopped believing she was going into paradise earth without dying first, about 10 years ago.

my aunt used to think she was going to make it through the great tribulation.

even a week before she died, she clung on to this fairy tale.. do you think jws believe they will never die at all and will, in their lifetime, be on a paradise earth to live forever?.

Joliette

Its sad. I'm 29, and there are still people in my age group that are depending on what the watchtower says to be true, because there very existance depends on what the watchtower publishes. Its really sad. Soon those 29 year olds will be 49 year olds, then 69 year olds (if they are still living by then). Giving up your heart and soul for an organization that cares nothing about you or your family.

my ex bil (who is df'd for 3+ years) sent me this message saturday night:.

"...it is with a sad heart i write this.

after seeing your post concerning celebrating halloween and running into christi and her telling me that you guys were celebrating christmas with a tree and everything ... along with other postings you have made and testimony from others it is apparent you have chosen the path of apostasy.... i write this wishing that wasn't so but the fact is the fact... i wish you and your family the best in this system but i can not associate or be friends with you anymore... i am chosing to be on jehovah's and his organization's side... thanks for the friendship thru the years and may you enjoy the time left in this system... :'(".

Joliette

Yeah you're gonna get a lot of facebook hate from Jah-NO-vah Witt-less-ness when you start, ya know, enjoying your life instead of being a willing victim in a so called legalistic paradise. I had the same thing happen to me a couple of years ago via facebook, and lot of witnesses have removed me, the mentally diseased apostate, from their friendslist, but oh well, there problem, not mine. Sorry for your experience, but excellent reply. JW's only see the world from there warped point of view. But of course, we apostates are the problem.
