  Seriously in need of opinions here

  by DilemmaGF in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  an inactive jw guy, still close and in contact with jw family and some jw friends, wanting to marry a worldy christendom girl.

  he made their relationship known to everybody (family and friends).

  excited to get married to the girl and to start a life proper.. the jw thinking is still strong in him - doctrine, holidays, voting and stuffs; but indicated disagreement with some wts policies, teaching about wts being the only true religion, and did some research about wts, even read a part of coc.. what say you about this guy?

  Recognition of being mind controlled by a bunch of old men who think they are being directed by God but are not is vital for full recovery.

  Naive financial questions

  2. scandals

  this is a sort-of-followup to my previous thread on "wt as sally mae" and the kh remodeling thread.. we all know that the wt must have a lot of money.

  my big issue is, where does the money go, and whom does it benefit?.

  so, my naive questions:.

  I suspect legal fees and compensation payouts have gone through the roof in the last 10 years or so.

  With hindsight and coming to this site I have discovered that the way I faded was the most successful way to do it.

  Move and don't register with the new KH.

  It could have turned out so differently for me if I had come out mentally first and then stopped going to the meetings. The local JWs have no idea who I am or that I am apostate.

  This good news of the kingdom will be preached ...

  by biometrics in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so some of my jw friends can't answer a lot of the questions i put to them.

  invariably they end up with the comback line of "this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.

  " and state that jws are the only ones doing the preaching.. i suspect most jws who've left have come across this.

  I am sure "Andre" would be reporting his success in these countries if there truly was any.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm new to this board and looking to see what it's all about.

  i'm currently an unbaptized publisher and third-generation jw, so for obvious reasons i can't give my real name due to personal concerns.

  so from now on people can refer to me as "jimmy".

  hi broken promises,.

  since i'll be seeing you on saturday [at her sisters wedding who is also an exjw], i thought i should let you know why i removed you from my friends list and didn't accept your last request.

  i did this because i saw you were in an ex jehovah's witness recovery group.

  well, it's officailly in print now.

  the 10 toes of the statue have no significance.. that was worth going to last summer's covention to find out wasn't it!.

  i'm fading and still attend some meetings, so i'm still fluent in current theocrapic pure language, but read this quote from the new wt and see if it doesnt scream freaky deaky cult at you.

  "We are living in the days of the seventh head. No more heads will appear on this beast before it is annihilated. The Anglo-American world power will be the dominant world power when false religion is eradicated.

  They never learn do they!

  After the Cold War, only the United States appeared to fulfill the criteria to be considered a world superpower. [2] The term second superpower has also been applied by scholars to the possibility that China will emerge as a superpower on par with the United States. [3] [4] [5] Brazil, the European Union, andIndia are thought to have the potential of achieving superpower status within the 21st century [6] A few heads of states [7] [8] , politicians [9] and news analysts [10] claim that Russia may have already reclaimed that status. [11] [12] [13] [14]

  Some people doubt the existence of superpowers in the post Cold War era altogether, stating that today's complex global marketplace and the rising interdependency between the world's nations has made the concept of a superpower an idea of the past and that the world is nowmultipolar.

  An imperfect but responsible employer will do his best to look after his employees and is held accountable for his workers safety.

  Shame Jehovah can't offer his "chosen ones" the same protection whilst on His work!
