When the Reptillian Anti-Christ is unmasked, what is your firearm of choice to kill our invaders?

by WingCommander in

this subject thread has been on my mind for a while, especially after seeing "zombieland" and foodall's thread about our possible ufo/reptilian over lords/realion/alien invaders.

when the great day of reckoning comes, whether it be from ufo alien invaders, realian reptilian over lords, demons in human-hybrid form, or just plain old virus-infected zombies, what will you be carrying to defend yourself from the hostile forces of e-vile?

please, no one say a "bible" or i'm going to just laugh my ass off.

Help for men and women stuck in

by im stuck in in

i have been reading alot of posts here lately.

one recurring theme seems to be problems with our mates that are still in.

so i thought perhaps we could put our thoughts together in a organized manner.

one thing i know does not work is the false prophecy battles. i never argue about what i know when she starts with "you have me so confused or i dont know what to believe" i end it there. i will go to the kh once in awhile but if i did not have kids i probably would never go. we have been married 20 years and i love her dearly but she knows i am never going back to being a good jdub and my time as one is running out. i try to show her the best side of the "world" and we have several non JW friends which i think is huge.

the april wt is out, get it while you can.

what caught my attention was the first article.

some quotes:.

finally an illustration i can follow, not the "we are not perfect, but we are giving out GODS direction" bullshit but maybe if they are the cloud of smoke that leads his people they will let me wander around in this present wilderness doing my own thing until i die. after that they can prophesy all they want

Attended meeting last night

by sd-7 in

i was almost as worried as if i was giving a talk instead of my wife last night.

i parked and they went in well before me.

i gathered my thoughts and realized that it was only proper that way.

Evidently Apostate

sd7,

my wife still pushes me to go and once a month or so i concede. i too see people i like and smile and make small talk but for the most part they truly enjoy the mindless bullshit they are filling their minds on. i harbor no bad feelings toward the average dub but realize i am now in a place where i have no true friends and for that reason i will never go back.

Keeping my shields up is wearing me out

by Evidently Apostate in

sometimes i find myself carefully monitering a persons body language, whatching for instinctive reactions listening carefully to thier words.

just jws and some extended family, and almost anyone i do business with.

not out of fear but to find out if there is a selfish motive or agenda.

or i could just be paranoid.

My Story Part I - My Parents

by Farkel in

part 1 - my parents.

it's a funny thing, time.

notwithstanding einstein's relativity, time means vastly different things throughout life.

sorry you had such an abusive mother. did she treat your siblings the same way?

i had a discussion with my FIL about his elder school exp.

by Evidently Apostate in

jw

one comment made by the speaker was " people think they are happy because they are satisfied.

but look at a smoker, he is satisfied and yet noone would say they were happy as a smoker".

i looked at him and asked why they would use an analogy that contained a deadly habit as a way to get you to visualize happiness?

it seems the slave is telling elders the flock may be content, satisfied, even a little lethargic but never happy! (straight from the school) Thought JWs were the happy people?

when will i taste freedom?

by Evidently Apostate in

for all those that have been able to rescue thier loved ones from this religion the feeling of freedom and security must feel incredible no matter what outside influence attacks you it must be easier to fend off with a family united.

i am not one of those situations and i am always dancing around the truth about the truth with my wife.

she can turn on the blinders and question me and level blanket statements like" you dont belive in an armageddon" or "your a completely different person than you were a year ago".

Evidently Apostate

i have read CoC and i am going to purchase hassans books. i am trying to be concious of the mind control and fighting my own reasonings at times so his book should help. i am alone for christmas this year, everyone went to FL to visit her family too crowded and way to much fighting(from the happiest people no less) for me. i mentioned this to someone i work with and they couldnt believe i was alone this week. i havent celebrated since my youth and as a JW it wouldnt mean anything but the kids are missing out and even the gift day we had recently is a joke when they cant buy gifts for friends at school, have a tree, etc.i would like them to enjoy the holidays for what they really are before they are grown. coping with a religion that could separate a family is stressfull and i also have good and bad moments Walk Tall, sharing your feelings means something here as a JW can shut off compassion and concern instantly. sometimes my conviction needs reassuring.

Thanks, GJ,Nugget,Perry, Butterfly and the rest. Dark uncle thanks

Got a letter inviting me to my Judicial hearing- should I go?

by hoggieman in

hey everyone, my family and i have not gone to meeting in over a year.

rumors have swirled about us, but i have always dodged the elders calls and never said anything about my feelings.

so after a while the calls/visits dwindled, but in october they came by again and saw our halloween decorations.

Evidently Apostate

unless you are willing to admit your sin and plead for forgiveness its a done deal and arguing they were just pumpkins will probably get you nowhere. it sounds like you are moving on with your life anyway, why go to a kangaroo court?

I Think, Watchtower Mislead ACLU to Support Them

by Scott77 in

please, what do you think after reading new article?

i think the watchtower is itself, an abuser of people's religious rights like the right to one's choice of religion.

look, many individuals are stalked over the years, all in the name of religion.

Evidently Apostate

i have to agree with the ACLU as much pain as this religions preaching has done they have the right to go publicly from house to house. they are having almost zero effect with it in most of the industrialized nations and it is wearing a lot of them down which hopefully gets them to give up by themselves or at least start to question the logic and direct them to the internet another freedom i am greatfull for
