OMG, I’m gonna get Old and Die.

by John Aquila in

when it finally clicked,.

and you realized there was no 1914, there was no generation that would see the end of a wicked system, there was no paradise around the corner, .

what went through you mind?.

clarity

OMG I am not going to live forever!!!!!! Once I could actually mouth those words & reality set in, I was ok with it .......but madder than hell about wasting so much of the life I DID have!

The irony is that the go to 'feel good' belief was trashed. Whenever I had problems or wasn't saving enough money or didn't have the luxuries that some higher-up jws had .........my feel good' thing would kick in with the thought .... oh well we will all be in the same boat & throwing our money in the street real soon now!! Ya right!

my name is alex.

i have been a reader/lurker of this site for over a year now.

first time i am posting.

A huge welcome to you Alex .

Wishing you a wonderful life with your own family. It is a terrible thing when a 'religion' teaches its own people to hate one another!

Things will continue to get better, although possibly two steps forward and a half a step back for awhile.

The Governing Body-Faded apostates?

by John Aquila in

ive been here less than a year, but ive notice that the majority of us have faded for various reasons.

we also read the stories of those who got disfellowshipped or disassociated themselves.

in the majority of the cases, their parents will not talk to the children for years and the children will not talk to the parents even if they are dying.

clarity

Those who have stood up & spoken-up about the damaging deception of wt, have put themselves in a position to lose everything. Most are not secure financially nor influential ......and yet they stand up.

How much more so should these self proclaimed christs be moved to save the 8 million, whom they have mind controlled, from wasting their lives on a worthless pursuit!

I have no pity for these liars, they preach about love & even dying for the brothers .......... ya right!

i love the people who go to my congregation.

they are sweet, friendly, and lovable.

(which is one of the things that makes being awake so much easier.

Wow ........ the last time a "very good friend" would even talk to me, said "Even if they are wrong .....I would never leave!"

They do sound a lot like Archie Bunker ...especially when he said "last will and testicles!" haha

Ohhh well ...

My Real Calling / Mission In Life Is Here on J-W.com

by smiddy in

sometime during or after my conversion to jehovah witnesses 55 years ago , i felt it was my calling , duty , mission , to preach the word , and witness to as many people as i could about the watchtower`s interpretation of the bible that i believed was the truth.. and may i presume i am not alone there .i feel many if not all would have had similar thoughts.. without being presumptuous i think i have found my real calling in life , in doing what little i can to add my 2 cents worth in exposing this religion for what a fraud it actually is ,especially to the newbies , because most of us here have already found ttatt .. so witnessing to the truth about jehovah`s witnesses on this board , gives me much more pleasure than i ever had witnessing for the watchtower organization.

and this site / board has enabled me to do that , thank you simon ,ang, and company.. smiddy.

clarity

Great topic Smiddy! I found this site to be a 'life' saver also, and want to give a hand-up where I can. With the advent of Simons changes to this site it seems a bit less friendly, probably due to losing some who didn't bother to get back on, or had to change their name. So for me the loss of the old familiar routine has been hard. Having said that, I agree that exposing the deceit & danger of the wt needs to be done.....to any extent that we personally can. All my best wishes to all the Newbies who have come here in the last 6 mths ........you are a quickly growing great crowd! As Mike & Kim would say.....Welcome to your freedom!

I guess it is pretty hard to explain that hate is love!

That hurtful, rude, bullying behavior is love!

The Watch Tower Society reveals itself

by Doug Mason in

over time, the watch tower society has completely changed many of its beliefs.

for example, until recently, the wts said that the emblems of the memorial represented the church, the 144,000, that the emblems did not symbolize jesus.. at times, the wts changes the name of a belief while it continues the teaching, for example, the wts used to say that jesus and the 144,000 together were the "the christ".

today, the wts denies this teaching but the name "anointed" means "christ".. do you want to see what the watch tower reveals about these things and more?

Looks fascinating Doug ...thank you so much for all your work.

40 years on - and still in Damage Control mode!

by Bungi Bill in

earlier this morning, i posted off to the the institute of engineers an application for membership as an "engineering associate":.

- today being just over 40 years since the congregation's retards elders made me abandon my apprenticeship.. (in this part of the world, the pre-1975 hype was taken to that level.

not being content to prevent young persons attending university, they went one step further and treated with hostility any youngster who would "tie up five years of their lives" by entering into an apprenticeship.

clarity

Hey Bill congratulations! So happy for you. Amazing accomplishment after such a brain wash from a so called religion!

Wishing you all the best ....you deserve it.

It Is Official, Just as Predicted on this Site... Local Cong Donates all Monies on Deposit with You Know Who!

by RichardHaley in

my local cong just donated all money (4k +) on deposit with you know who to, you know who.

"since the society forgave all kingdom hall loans the boe felt it only appropriate to forgive the society of our loan to them.

" is exactly how it was presented to the r&f.

WingCommander ....love the passion in your responses!

Believing wt to be "the truth" for a few decades, all this deception & graft has left me gobsmacked! Utterly astounded! Not so much because wt turned-out to be so evil ........but that they do it right under the noses of their followers..........and still they don't see it. Gb must be laughing their heads off. Really, there is nothing that gb will say now that will register on their bullshit alert alarm!
