  Need to vent. I am thinking of leaving my wife.

  i am so sick of this cult, this religion has such a grip on her.

  since i left in 2014, things just are getting progressively worse.

  and she it's just getting deeper and deeper.

  Why not show your wife what unconditional love looks like. Be a servant to her and hopefully she will see there is goodness outside of the cult.

  i hear rumbling about the rank and file not having the same zeal they had when new.. lets see: door to door at the time least likely to find someone.

  waste of a whole morning.

  isolated.

  2034 - A Future History of Jehovah's Witnesses

  by slimboyfat in

  i don't know what i am talking about... read this post at your peril.

  back in the 1960s there was, seemingly, a brief period of relaxation in authoritarianism among jehovah's witnesses.

  those who have read raymond franz's 'crisis of conscience' will have heard the story about dan sydlik's remark about the need to 'open some windows to let some air in here'.

  What REALLY defines a person as being anti-Semitic?

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. social
  2. current

  does criticism or opposition to the israeli government's zionist agenda legitimately constitute someone being branded as an anti-semite?.

  is it this definition which is actually being targetted at certain members of the labour party?

  You can spot anti-American sentiment when you see people dancing in the street after 9/11

  Similarly you can be sure you are looking at anti-Semitism when the person you are talking to

  - denies the holocaust

  - thinks Israel has no right to exist

  - supports rocket attacks on Israeli citizens

  - believes Israel does not have the right to defend itself.

  Etc.

  w02 12/1 p. 3 giving until it hurts - “organized religion seems to be able to survive only with sizable financial support.

  (lol – aren't jw's an “organized religion, and how the hell do they survive - on marshmallows?

  )..how is the necessary money to be found?...most likely you agree that giving should be part of christian worship.

  Electric Cordless Yard Tools - Does Anyone Else Use Them?

  by RubaDub in

  2. friends

  i must say, i have had my battery mower, trimmer, blower for about a year now and could not be happier (ryobi 40 volt stuff).

  the same battery works in everything.

  just plug and play.. yes, they are more expensive to purchase, probably 30% to 50% more than gas.

  I have the ryobi lawn mower and whipper-snipper. 2 batteries are great.

  My daughter has a hedge trimmer and a whipper sniper from Black and Decker. Light weight and powerful batteries.

  Goodbye clumsy cords.

  Impeachment hearings ...

  by mikeflood in

  watched a little bit the famous impeachment hearings....the witness sometimes when they were put on oath were with a smiled in their faces, others insecure, and the rest rightly totally outraged.... i turned it off.

  too much time on the media for nothing.

  it's like the russian thing didn't work to oust trump, and now ukraine maybe.

  Did The Witnesses Predict the United Nations in Advance?

  by TD in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's been reported on this forum that bethel speakers at this summer's conventions are asserting that the establishment of the united nations in 1945 was predicted in advance by the witnesses.

  this is being presented as validation of the claim that the witnesses are god's one true organization directed by holy spirit.. .

  the basis for this claim originates with a public address entitled, peace - can it last given by n.h. knorr at the new world theocratic assembly, on september 20 of 1942. .
