Catlover you successfully trolled us!

And I'll bet that a number of us got a laugh hearing you were out.

Perhaps your search for living and housing should focus on a different career choice.

I found an old pamphlet in one of my JW books. About the Hoxsey cure

by JimmyYoung in

i found a pamphlet in one of my old bound vol.

a 1969 awake, that had a pamphlet from a senator who gave a speech on the hoxsey cure.

i know of several jws who went to mexico and got this treatment.

Giordano

JW's were under educated.... still are....... and obedient to the failed 'medical advice', of the Society. Let's call it what it was and still is....... Quackery.

So what followed were JW's treating their cancer with coffee enema's, grape therapy etc. and/or heading down to Mexico to be treated with the latest Mexican quackery and then returning home to die.

The ban on blood exposes them to any number of situations like cancer and traumatic injury.

Belief in the 'truth' often makes them the first to die when proper medical treatment is denied.

You have landed on an ex JW web site that pertains to this religion. It would be better if you reexamined the beliefs and Organization of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society before committing yourself to it's authority.

As an Aupair I am sure you would not want to associate with child sexual abusers. Google Jehovah's Witnesses Pedophile problem and find out for your self.

jwfacts.com is an excellent place to check out as they only quote from the Watchtower's words.

The 'friends' will deny there is a problem. But the broken lives and law suits tell a different story.

Why Did Obama win the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009?

by JW_Researcher in

jw
friends

while even non-peaceful people have been awarded the peace prize (e.g.

arafat, kissinger), i am confused as to how obama could possibly have won the award one year after being the first term junior senator from illinois with zero “peace” experience (other than his ‘well-articulated’ rhetoric)..

reading the obama-pining on a couple of posts made me reexamine my view of barry’s presidency..

Giordano

He will be remembered as the President who backed the truck out of the ditch and got America going again.

Trump hates Obama like he hates anyone else who disagrees with him or mocks him. He's a worthless President.

Simon.......As America weakens so does Canada.

Ex JW of 30 years , still messed up from it

by Doubledecker in

jw
friends

hi , this is my first post .. i left jws 30 years ago as 18 year old unbaptised youth and after the initial fallout from leaving pretty much put the whole thing in a box and buried it .. however , i am now starting to realise how much the doomsday messages and the ‘them and us’ doctrines that’s fed to you from birth has remained in my core beliefs.. how have others managed to reprogram themselves ?.

thanks for reading , have a good day .

dd.

Giordano

Doubledecker would you want to live in a paradise earth that was built over the bones of billions of innocent people?

Do you still carry that JW approved suicide note........ called the No Blood Card in your wallet?

JWfacts.com can be a powerful tool to start to learn how corrupt the WTBTS is.

Good luck with working through this.

My husband and I told our families we want to disassociate

by erinee in

well, these stories are always fun, right?

let me share mine.. my husband and have been pimo for 2 years.

inactive for one year.

Giordano

The arguments on this forum center around leaving/fading or officially Disassociating to stop any contact from the Elders, Circuit Servant etc.

Unfortunately when your name is called out as in 'S0 and S0 is no longer one of Jehovah's Witness'. You will pay the same price and be lumped in with ex JW sinners.

Simply leaving is your right. Freedom of Religion could not exist without Freedom From Religion.

In fact over 60% of born-ins leave and no longer consider themselves or identify with the JW's according to the Pew religious survey.

Also the JW's have as many divorces (11%) as most every Christian religion according to Pew.

My wife and I faded away back in the mid 1960's. This was a time when you could make it known that you were leaving. DF didn't start until 1981. To be perfectly honest the on going arguments spoiled any feeling of family closeness. To be on our own strengthened our marriage.

Maybe take some time off and put some distance between the congregation and family members....before you decide. Until then you can simply say "we are praying to Jehovah about certain issues that have stumbled us.....thank you for your concern"

Or you can say that returning is always a possibility but not until the Society cleans up it's pedophile problem.

Jesus said to his followers "do not hinder the little children from coming to me" I would think child sexual abuse would be considered as a crime against the little children and one hell of a hindrance.

Keep in touch.........we know the issues of leaving because we have all chosen a path away from the JW construct.

My kids are watching Atheist Content on Youtube!

by Miriam in

i was looking at my children's watch history on youtube when i saw that they were watching atheist content!!!

what should i do?

.

Giordano

Miriam I get the feeling you kind of stumbled in here only to learn that obviously....... we are for the most part....... ex Jw's. Or at the least people who are still in..... because of family.

The information in answer to your concerns has been reasonable. Your concern leaves us with no understanding of who and what your children are or who and what kind of parent you are.

What we have to offer on this forum are parents, adults who have a found a way to leave the JW world with some dignity. There are a lot of issues re the WTBTS in many respects that demonstrate that they are more dangerous then Jonestown where 'only' 1,000 plus people committed suicide in one night.

Based on medical records at least 1000 JW's each year since 1940 (73,000 thousand to date) have accepted the ban on blood doctrine and died before their time...... or suffered beyond reason. This is based on the start of the ban in 1940.

My wife and I have lost two uber JW's in our families to a death that they need not have experienced ....not as young as they were.

At the very least remove the suicide cards you carry in your purse or wallet that cover you or your children with a ban on blood. Your not pleasing Jehovah. By the way His name was made up in the Catholic Church by a Monk . The WT Society has admitted to this.

You need to understand this ban on blood was a made up doctrine to set the JW's apart. They didn't need to be set apart with a dangerous belief....... they needed to be kept safe.

Your children are more important then the entire governing body and professional bethelites who haven't accomplished anything more important then your children have.

Their reading other things ....thank god for the internet.

Until the internet the Mormons never knew that their hound dog .....Joseph Smith..........had 30 wives.

Guess what you can discover for yourself if you......... like your children...... do your own research.

How do you feel about pedophiles? There are 23,000 who attend the different JW kingdom halls in the USA and who are on record with the WTBTS as pedophiles.

Jesus said "do not hinder the young children from coming to me". That's all you need to know.

The bull shit the Society supports is all you need to disregard. Jesus is the lost sole of the WTBTS. Being pro Jehovah when we were supposed to be Jesus's witnesses is part of their calculation.

Giordano

Encourage them to watch more if the programs make sense re science, history etc.

Your job as a parent is to help your children think for themselves and not be controlled, in the near future, by a failed religion like the JW's, the Mormon's, Scientology etc.

A highly controlled belief system promotes delusional beliefs.

*WARNING SUICIDE RELATED POST

by Annamouse in

bit of background: a couple of years ago i was reproved after i slept with a brother that i was in love with but we were not married.

in fairness, the elders were kind and supportive.

the problem is, i had always been the model witness before that.

Giordano

Pete Zahut said it best:

JW's tend to forget that the moral code they follow and refer to as "Gods Law", was meant to be a protection for mankind not a means to catch them out and punish them. They tend to emphasize the punishment and sin aspect rather than the intent of the of the moral laws they follow.

Couldn't have said it better.

Now it's time to get real so you can truly get well.

You are worth more then the foolishness of untrained Elders who are ever ready to monitor your morals, strengths and weaknesses. Most of whom barely have a high school education.

Believing in religions can be very dangerous. Most religions don't believe that you need to be controlled and taught an ever changing theology........... Others want to control you body and mind.
