Satan the Devil was in idiot

by sabastious in

lets check out his track record (according to the witnesses).. 1. first, he decides to rebel against the most powerful entity in existence that is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent.

which of course, will doom him to failure the second he begins.. 2. then he starts his brilliant plan to trick eve as a talking snake, interesting how that worked out since snakes don't talk.

(good thing eve was more stupid than satan).. 3. next he bets against god (again) with job.

There were moments of dreams I was offered to save
I live less like a workhorse, more like a slave
I thought that one quick moment that was noble or brace
Would be worth the most of my life.

So I pointed my fingers, and shout a few quotes I knew
As if something that's written should be taken as true
But every path I have taken and conclusion I drew
Would put truth back under the knife.

And now the only piece of advice that continues to help:
Is anyone that's making anything new only breaks something else.

So I took what I wanted and put it out of my reach
I wanted to pay for my successes with all my defeats,
And if heaven was all that was promised to me
Why don't I pray for death?
And now it seems like the unraveling has started too soon,
Now I'm sleeping in hallways and I'm drinking perfume
And I'm speaking to mirrors and I'm howling at moons
While the worse and the worse that it gets.

Oh you can judge all the world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

I feel so sad and disgusted.

by deep-blue-sea in

after the swiss tv program on jehovahs witnesses,.

http://www.tsr.ch/emissions/temps-present/2482487-grandir-avec-jehovah.html.

where my children and husband (all dissociated or disassociated) were characters, a forum followed the program on which everybody could give his comments.. .

I had similar experiences too. We moved to a cong we used to visit on summer vacations. We were gossiped about, slandered, and shunned by most of the cong, even elders; all our problems were instigated by an MS and elder's son. My dad claims our experiences in that cong where unusual. From what I've seen and read, they were pretty common. The great cong that we moved to afterwards was unusual, lol! I wish I could send him all these stories so he could see for himself. Jesus said his followers would have love among themselves, agape love, completely self-less love, willing to die for each other. I've never seen that kind of love in a cong of JW's. I have seen a complete lack of love and conditional love. Maybe it was there, I just missed it.

I can either go back to the "truth" or stay out and raise a milion questions

by serenitynow! in

i received this message from a jw on jwc@fe, after i asked some simple questions:"miss jada, every sentence or phrase in the bible can very easily be turned into a question.

it doesnt take much to raise questions.

even jesus himself left some questions unanswered.

DanaBug

@serenity I've been watching the "apostate invasion" over there, lmao! Look no further than jw c@fe for proof that it's a cult. No one answers any questions that are raised. Instead they snoop your page for proof you're a Dub and if you're not, label you an apostate or worldly. Or they quote their favorite Bible verse, even if it's not relevant to the question asked. I'm disappointed. I always thought the JW's were pretty good at defending their faith. I thought it would be fun to debate with a JW, now I'm just sad. Oh well, maybe those conversations over there will open some eyes.

Would you do a mind-meld with other people? Who? Any conditions?

by Markfromcali in

just for fun, i guess the idea of the vulcan mind-meld is the most popular idea, although for a good visual you might think of the mental equivalent of odos people from deep space nine.

for the non-scifi geek there was that part in cocoon that might be a better reference, and that recent episode of american dad.. anyhow it's pretty much in the subject title of the post.

any filters?

DanaBug

Nope. There are some things people have done or think about I don't want to know about. Now, if I was a forensic psychologist or something like that, it would be an awesome ability to have.

Message from my pioneer sister

Happy birthday, tweety!

You're sister's comment is funny. There's nothing sad about celebrating birthdays! (Except when JW's try to make you feel guilty over it.) Nothing wrong with the people who love you celebrating the day you were born. I hope you had a great birthday!

Were you afraid of Armageddon?

by cyberjesus in

i was dfd in 1995 however i still believed it was the truth until 2009. and until then i was fearful of armageddon's day.. i remember every time i'd see a dark sky with thunders and lighting i would question if that was it.

the news of any major disaster, hurricanes earthquakes would ignite fear inside me and i would think that could be the beginning of the end.. when i was around 8 i remember going to visit my grandma and she was watching the news.

a major conflict in the middle east had ended and some president said that the world was not in peace.

DanaBug

@factfinder I had forgotten about that! I feared that persecution too. Especially after a family trip to DC and the Holocaust Museum. I was tall enough to see over the walls.

Something else about Armageddon, I remember my brother and I talking about how Jehovah would determine who would survive. We came to the conclusion that if He can read hearts and be forgiving all good people would survive, no matter the hours they put in or sins they had committed. We were about 14 and 12 at the time. It would have been nice to see that in a Watchtower.

I was. After being df'd, I had dreams where I knew it was coming: lightning, huge waves, buildings collapsing, etc. And I was trying to warn people but no one believed me. I haven't had those dreams in years now.

Humans are amazing

by sabastious in

jw
friends

my whole life i have been taught by the witnesses that humans naturally want to do the wrong things, that we are inherently sinful and that we cannot "direct our own step".

i never believed it even though the media surely likes to make it look that way to make more money on advertising.. i just got done watching this video and i realize that i was right all along.. humans are amazing!.

It is a travesty, but necessary for them. Also a travesty, the WTBTS has the resources to actually help people now, but they don't. Such a waste.
