Are they really that bad???

by anonymous4 in

had a good look into the doctrine, beliefs and practices of jws and to be honest, i don't really see anything wrong with it at all.. it's biblical and i've had such an eye opener the past year or so reading some of their books and magazines .

is there really any real reasons why i shouldn't want to get involved further?

:-).

I<3MYGod

Oh anonymous4, I will pray for your soul.

I spent 25 yrs in the cult, I have been out for a while now and just recently have I gotten my brain and heart back. I wouldn't wish what you are going to embark onto my worst enemy.

Blood Sausage; Blood Pudding. Ever try them?

by Open mind in

jw
friends

did you enjoy it?.

do you recommend it from a purely culinary perspective?.

om.

I<3MYGod

It has nothing to do with the whole no blood brew-ha-ha....I just think it sounds nasty. So no, I haven't tried it nor do I think I ever will.

March kool-aid edition available ...

by wannabefree in

march "study" edition is available for download at jw(dot)org.

first article "do not deceive yourselves with false reasonings" ... does a good job at blaming the individual witness for losing a sense of urgency ... surely the organization has no culpability for this.. the bible also warns about the danger of deceiving ourselves with false reasoning.'-jas.1:22..

a wrong view of the timing of the divine purpose could lead us to lose sightof the importance of our spiritual activities and become sidetracked with personal interests.. (zech.

I will now be doubly sure to sling my jacket when in the presence of jay dubs.

They just need a redbull - then they will be able to sprint again.

It sickens me...Why haven't more opened their eyes to see what this "truth" is all about?

District Assembly Dramas - where the heck do they come from?

by babygirl30 in

despite growing up a jw i was always curious where this corny plays came from?

my best memories of them were when they used to turn the lights out in the convention center - cause that meant i could sleep!!!

but seriously, who writes them?

I<3MYGod

Same place Walt Disney and his gang got Fantasia - LSD and pot ;)

Cult...Cult...Cult...Cult!

by Cold Steel in

it seems that many people on this board get a certain amount of glee calling the jehovah's witness faith a "cult.

" especially former jehovah's witnesses.

and though it's true in a number of senses, we must be conscious of the fact that the early christians were considered by nearly everyone in roman and jewish society as a cult.

I<3MYGod

I was in the cult for 25yrs....It is a cult in every sense of the word.

What % of current JWs sincerely believe Armageddon will come within the next 30 years?

by jj123jj123 in

just to give you a little background about myself, i was a born-in, i'm in my late 20's now, i faded away a few years ago after researching the history of the wtbs on the internet.

my fade was aided by moving away with my job(i definately feel lucky about that).

eventually, i had discussions with a couple of my closer jw friends about why i no longer believed in the wtbs.

I<3MYGod

It's a shame that didn't take place whilst I was in the fold....one less bull sh*t meeting to go would have been heavenly...

do you miss anything from when you were a jw?

by Newborn in

jw
friends

a few of my friends who also used to be jw's, say they miss certain things abt it...i can honestly say that i don't miss a single thing (my sister obviously who's still in but nothing else).. before i could sometimes miss having such a strong belief but that's also gone.

i guess i've moved on big time.

/newborn.

I miss my family. Most of which are still hard core lie believers. So they have nothing to do with me or my children.

But it's their loss. I am in the process of making a new family, a family that will love us and be there for us no matter what. We will be more tight knit than blood.

And I second that Billy. I miss the opportunities that I might have had had I not been born into a lie.

jehovahs witnesses giving a "bad witness "

by looloo in

i was talking to a workmate yesterday about my jw experiance and my daughters abuse , she told me that she works as a counsellor and had been discussing jws with a colleage , this person had given counselling to a jw woman who was a victim of domestic violence by her jw husband , the elders had done nothing to help the woman and simply told her to stop moaning about it !

the counseller was disgusted that in this day and age women are still treated like that !

the jw lady eventually left her husband , took the children with her and got disfellowshipped !!!!

I<3MYGod

I wish, she is way too much of a follower. She will never think for herself.....never. Sad but true.

The only comfort I get is knowing that in some weird twisted way it makes her happy to believe.
