  when you left, did you feel the need to start your life over?

  how did you go about reconciling who you were with how you feel now?.

  better yet, for those born/raised in, how did that transition affect you and are you ok with who you used to be?.

  RBIH,

  You just described how I feel/felt growing up as a Dub. For me the transition took a while, and I can't honestly say I'm okay with things. I am deeply ashamed of the person I was, and the (ugh) new personality that I had.

  A friend of mine suggested to me that the fact that I was in a cult means that I must have a very weak mind. While I can squirm over that 'til the cows come home, I like to be reminded of the people that I know that are still 'in', but who have very strong personalities. The very fact that we are here and prepared to discuss what dumbasses we were suggests that we have more strength and moral fibre than we give ourselves credit.

  Proof that Satan is in control of the WT and THAT is why the new change will come.....

  by EndofMysteries in

  if anybody ever read the two babylons book, it detailed how christianity became corrupt.

  how over time, not on the spot, but slowly changes were implemented, it started with forbidding anybody to read or hold the bible, and only the leader/pope etc could teach, once there was full absolute power, then satan was able to put in anything he wanted to corrupt it all.

  i am not going to list the articles and scriptures, everybody can find those, i'm just going to quickly show from the history to now how it's happened and the proof and what is happening now.

  EOM, if you're currently studying ancient deities, religions etc. I have a collection of lectures called Religion in the Ancient Mediterranean World by professor Glenn S Holland. It's about 1 Gigabyte, and if you're interested, I could upload it to a torrent file and you could download it. PM me if you're interested.

  i've been thinking about putting together a pamphlet of things that have worked well for me over the years.

  if it's successful, maybe it will lead to seminars or classes.

  feel free to critique, or chime in with your own.

  11,

  Don't shower for 3 days in advance, and go jogging before the date. Everyone KNOWS that ballsweat is full of chick-wrenching pheromones. be careful with this though, you may end up beating off other interested women.

  Do You Realize That Almost EVERY Society Publication Is "Old Light" Now?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  now that the "faithful & discreet slave class" has become essentially the governing body since 1919, almost every publication is obsolete and useless!

  (i know, they are useless)..... the fds doctrine is a core teaching unique to jehovah's witnesses and now i believe they will have to change all of their understandings that are recorded in the revelation climax book, ezekiel books---every prophetic book written by the society!.

  Elephant, doesn't it alarm you in just the tiniest way that jehovah is playing Chinese Whispers with the Governing Body/FDS? Charles Darwin himself would be mightily impressed with the way the Watchtower's doctrine has evolved over the past 100 years. If Jehovah INTENTIONALLY wanted to make 'his' organization look a bunch of clueless chumps, then I believe he would proceed in exactly the way the Watchtower Corporation has done up 'til now. Are the GB faithful and Deceit Slave getting crossed-lines from up there in the Pleiades? Does Jesus, our mediator have a s-s-stammer? A lisp? are the communications being hacked by Satan the Devil?

  The Watchtower's record so far regarding doctrine consistency is piss-poor.

  Personally, I think jehovah is having a Larf.... at your expense.

  By the way, what's the procedure now? Is it just a matter of cut-and-paste from Kingdumb Ministrys?

  Pope Innocent VIII transfused — A Canard

  by Marvin Shilmer in

  2. friends

  pope innocent viii transfused a canard.

  today i added a new article to my blog addressing another gross misrepresentation about the history of blood transfusion.

  since 1945 the watchtower organization has taught that pope innocent viii received a blood transfusion in the year 1492. it turns out this is another stellar example of watchtowers utter inability to get its facts straight when it comes to the subject of blood and blood transfusion.

  Good post Marvin. I'm not at all surprised. Are they still churning out that old chestnut 'We only use 10% of our brains'?!

  Is this a test? I think the top post should have the song names in '......' apostrophes and not quotation marks.

  If not, and I'm a dumbass, then blame the WT.

  http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2012/10/07/jimmy-savile-sexual-abuse-allegations-charities-withdraw-links-cameron-calls-bbc-investigation_n_1946267.html

  This morning I was listening to the BBC's Five live radio programme. It seems that somebody made an allegation that when she was a child recovering at the Stoke Mandeville Hospital, she was told by the nurses that Jimmy Savile would be visiting the hospital, and that he would choose from one of the children and take them into his private room. (He had his own office/room there). Apparently, this happened quite a lot. The nurse told her to pretend to be asleep, and stay in bed, and not to get into a wheelchair.

  I found this quite shocking. To think that people in a caring profession would tolerate this, and keep such an awful secret. It then got me to thinking how this kind of thing is protected within the WT organization, so as not to cause a scandal. These nurses turned a blind eye because he was a well-known celebrity who had raised several millions for children's charities. How much more so will a person protect their deity from scandal. I think that judging by so many people's loyalty to a mere mortal (that they weren't compelled to protect), we are probably only seeing the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the organization, and their cover-ups.

  I love Dawkins. He's such an agreeable chap. I love how he keeps pushing the idea that the universe, life and everything is so much more remarkable and wonderful without inserting a creator into the equation.

  I love Channel 4. They're so secular.

  can't wait either!

  A big shift in the world is about to happen......

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i don't want to deceive anyone and i have to clarify a few things so i'm sorry this is going to be a lot more vague then you want.

  infact if you do not already realize or also feel something is about to happen as in the title, then move along, it will be a month or 2 before i update this.

  it's not my intention to annoy anybody, i am too uncomfortable to post any details because it's too new and i need to verify things, and i am also feeling responsible to give a subtle warning, that it might be something somebody needs to see.
