Faulty Reasoning to Promote God's "Name"

by Dissonant15 in

as i am newly awoken, i am daily having epiphanies & revelations now.

i've been casually wondering to myself since the propagandist broadcast about the name "jehovah" if it would be more proper to call him "yahweh" to myself.

well tonight the answer suddenly came to me: it doesn't matter.

Well tonight the answer suddenly came to me: It doesn't matter. If He/She indeed exists, it is not true that you MUST "know and use God's personal name" in one's own language in order to know & have a relationship with Him (/Her). Most children live their whole lives calling their parents "Mom" & "Dad," which are TITLES, and no one criticizes this. I have had foreign friends who introduce themselves & go by American names because their legal name is too difficult for most English-speaking persons to pronounce & spell.

It does not matter.

Need advice: Intimacy with my wife almost non existint because she considers me an apostate

by goingthruthemotions in

just on of the perks of being an apostate who is married to a branwashed, blinded jw woman.

you know, we have been married for ~27 years....most of which we had nothing to do with the piece of shite cult.

up till the begining of 2014 was when i woke up.

Dissonant15

Have you tried pointing out the hypocrisy of her actions? I never considered using sex as a weapon when my husband woke up before me. What about "your fine conduct may win them over/[back]"? And "render the marriage due"?

I don't mean to add fuel to your fire but as an honest onlooker's opinion, it seems to me your wife is a mean and spiteful person at heart, addition to and beyond the WT's influence.

I'm sick of...

by freemindfade in

i'm sick of.... ...having an elder i barely know invite himself over to my house, and bring another asshole elder with him, you know, to "see how i'm doing" f-ck them.

...having same elder with all insincerity approach me at the beeting and before inviting himself over, ask, "how are you doing?

" then when i say everything is great, go ahead and invite them selves over anyway.

Dissonant15

I already know what my answer is going to be if they knock on my door: I'm going to put my hair up and robe on and say."I wish you'd called first, I can't have you in because I'm vomiting and diarrhea-ing again."

The JW Elder Who Started All the Insanity that was bound to eventually start. This Elder Loves Trouble!

by ReligionOfHatred in

in order to understand what is happening you have to start from the beginning of our saga.

about nine years ago a elder with asperger's syndrome found out my family member almost came to blows with our next door neighbor who is so successful, he probably makes $2 million a year net-income with all his businesses and investments.

the co-owner of the property got angry because our neighbor did not like certain breeds of dogs, the fact was he was mauled by the breed elder bucket-head owned and elder bucket-head refused to fix the fence and so his dog would continually show up on my neighbors front door harassing his little dogs and growl.. elder asperger's heard my dad and his friend talking about uncle bucket-head's near blows even though they were whisphering at book study, his ears are good when it comes to seeking out sin and finding ways to bring brothers before the elders.

I understood it, I am fluent in ADHD & manic dialects. But I agree with Obl, if you're outraged enough to post it on here, time to peace outta that org!

Name Things You Can't Do If You Are JW...or not supposed to do

by minimus in

jw
friends

witnesses are not supposed to stand for the national anthem but can stand for a flag salute.. you can't say bless you if someone sneezes, good luck!, or " you too" if someone says, happy holidays.. it is a religion of cannot dos.

everything is pagan and worldly.. what are things that are unacceptable to jehovah's witnesses that really are no big deal to everyone else?

No team sports in school (but clique-y congregation "touch football" games are ok).

No playing with the neighbor kids or having school friends.

No birthday cake at school (but you can have some at work if it's leftover the day after).

No signing group cards for work birthdays or deaths -must send your own sympathy card with a tract or brochure which often just nothing gets sent.

No raffles or lottery tickets.

No R rated movies.

They're coming to get me! =)

by Mrs. Eden in

hello friends.

my fleshy sister is seriously getting to my nerves.

she's my only (and younger) sister, and as you know, is married to an uber-circuit overseer.

Dissonant15

I am sorry to hear this. And I thought I was getting harassed. That would give me an anxiety attack. Really I blocked some phone numbers. You have the right to ignore them. You owe nobody an explanation for your actions. I like telling people you've got too much going on and leave it at that. No time for them.

in a weak moment, i called my parents and my mom answered.

i start crying as i tell her about my disease, and this woman says to me:.

That is disgusting and my heart goes out to you. PM me if you want to talk. I also am being worked up for autoimmune conditions.

TV.JW.ORG (September 2015): Serving Single - Do not use JW dating sites!

by Designer Stubble in

around the 39:00 minute mark the focus shifts to a single sister who cannot find a mate.

at the 42:30 minute mark she states "i cannot believe it crossed my mind...to look on jw dating sites".

guess a new unwritten rule is added to the many oral traditions of these pharisees.

Dissonant15

This is not new. For 10-15 years now the Kingdom Ministry & convention talks have explicitly said do not use JW dating websites, even naming jwmatch.com.

I have my own theory why not. Besides what they say, that you can't be sure of someone's 'spiritual character' online, they must be afraid that people who are internet savvy also have enough sense to research and will soon learn TTATT!
