yup, this is a negative thread.. there are a lot of things but i'll start with one.. jws believe god will destroy 99.9% of the world simply because they aren't witnesses.
this view produces the "i am better than you" attitude because they get to live forever and you will die forever.
(not a nice religion)..
They are always tooting their own horn when they don't really have anything to toot about! No one likes a braggart!
Ya, I know, I'm still an active 'jw' (in name only). I don't brag about anything related to the organization. They lost my vote. I'm in it for the family.
earth.
on earth.
and the demons for a thousand years.. rev.
Again, thank you 'Blondie'.
P. S. The health issues you make mention of sound serious. Hope there is light at the end of the tunnel for you. Wish you & yours well!

'I wonder if Moses had to "remind" the Israelites that he was "the right hand of God" time after time after time, like the Governing Body seems to feel necessary to remind the flock of their leadership position right now.' Right on. Another indicator of their desparate state of mind!
i am new to this site.
i've been out of it for about 17 years.
i've never really looked back or felt nger about any of it.
not bitter: Welcome!
'Does anyone else feel like me about having close family in it but not wanting to rock the boat?' Affirmative! I hear you.
You have found a good place here. I have always found this forum very therapeutic. You will too.
just wondering, for other "unbelieving mates" who visit this site, how many of you fielded spousal interference this week?
for those of you who don't keep up on wt news any more, the november issue of the kingdom ministry contained the above titled article, with a few "helpful suggestions".
i give credit to my hubby that he respected my stand before and after the meeting, even as he harbored a faint hope that the sainted words of the kingdom ministry would reach out and knock me to my "senses".. in summary, the "suggestions" include patience, don't bring up religious arguments, show through your actions and friendliness that the "unbelieving mate"'s prejudices are unfounded, and if all else fails, get them when facing health problems or other crises.. the worst i fielded was directly after the meeting, when hubby asked me what it would take to join the watchtower society.
jgnat:
I was @ the service meeting and sat thru this part & there were 2 or 3 unbelieving mates in attendance also. It was as though the society was putting them on the spot. That made me feel for them. I wanted no part of the discussion. It was a part intended for 20 minutes and I think the individual conducting took 23 minutes.
The KM article is another indicator of the organization's disparate state of mind!
from a discussion i had with an active sister this past week.
they had no "issues" with accepting the new generation understanding at all, she said.
all the brothers agreed with the reasoning, apparently there were no protests, murmerings or complaints.
Moshe:
You're point......
'Much like a physically beaten/abused wife with no place to go, the JWs can only cling to the false belief that tomorrow will be a better day' has a ring of truth to it. However, a physically beaten/abused wife will eventually snap. Many remember the movie based on a true story 'The Burning Bed'. That sucker died in an inferno set ablaze by the abused wife!
What are the chances that the R & F (the abused wife) will snap? Many think the chances are good. A person can only take soooo much!
review comments will be headed by comments.

'Jehovah's Witnesses recognize no human as their leader.'......(bullcrap)
'They are not disciples or followers of any man.'.......(bullcrap)
'The international congreagation of anointed Christians and their "other sheep" companions want no leader other than the one Jehovah has given them.'.......(bullcrap)

Blondie: couldn't agree with you more when you say......
'Why doesn’t God send angels to the Governing Body so they don’t have to constantly adjust their assertions? '
As usual good job on the review comments.

'Andre' is definitley a made up character and all the other details of 'his' journey are an exaggeration. The personnel in the WTS writing department have quite an imagination, wouldn't you say?
As the old saying goes 'desperate times call for desparate measures'. The WTS is DESPERATE! They will say and do anything to cast a bad shadow on these forums.

DY: 'Blondie........manages to always miss the correct point from the Watchtower study articles'.
The WTBTS are experts at 'snow jobs'. An overall review of the study articles such as 'Blondie' provides helps to see through their bullsh*t!
