  2011 District Convention "Let Us Be Bored and Confused Into Obedience"

  this has already been discussed but i need to vent.. i just spent the most painful weekend of my life sitting thru this years dc.

  what an unbelievably pointless, soulless and demeaning spectacle the assemblies are.

  the three days were a blur of monotanous droning and brainwashing.

  Has anyone read The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown?

  by ranmac in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is the only one of his books ive read.

  it was kind of drawn out but still entertaining, especially if you're interested in freemasonry and the usual fodder associated with it.

  the descriptions of the rituals,monuments and symbols associated with washington and its political/religious origins is quite intriguing.

  Wow this sucks

  my decision to de-program my mind, about a year ago, has been fairly uneventfull, despite a few intense but very real conversations with my wife and parents.. however in the past couple days my father has pretty much made it clear to me that he will put the gb (not god, although they are pretty much viewed the same) before me.

  also tonight the inlaws, who have probly gotten whiff of my inactivity and who never get personal, started to give a lecture on the extreme importance of the family worship arrangement so lovingly arranged for us by the fds, and how if we are not taking advantage of this wonderful provision will not be prepared for armagedon.

  i swear blood was gushing from biting my tounge.. im starting to sense that consequences are coming for my sin of independent research and study.

  you know when you're in a dark room and someone suddenly flicks on the lights?

  its very unpleasant isnt it?

  that the same reason why jah reveals his light to us gradually over time.

  Armagedon/New World Order

  by ranmac in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if the wtbts is so wonderfully preparing us for armagedon, why arent they even attempting instruction on physical survival or self defense?

  wether you believe in the 'elites' plan of a one world government/new world order or not, you have to admit that jws would be the ideal people to corral and imprison.

  jws are trained to be easy to spot, unresistant, passive and almost eager for persecution.

  Appreciation

  by ranmac in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a couple years ago i wouldnt have even fathomed the idea of joining a forum like this.

  just want to say that i appreciate the free flow of ideas, and the open mindedness of most members and the intolerance of suppressed and unsupported ideologies of jw's and anti-jw's as well.

  keep the logic flowing!.

  Thinking of writing a letter

  by ranmac in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  forgive me if this has been touched on many times before.. i was wondering if anyone has actually written the society requesting their response/justifications to the many discrepencies and flaws in their doctrine and history, such as failed/altered dates and prophesies, pyramidology, beth sarim, lack of transparency, economic and political ties to the world, how they no more than archeologists, biblical contradictions, etc, etc..... if so, what was their response?.

  Why do I keep digging?

  by ranmac in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it didnt take a lot of independant research, along with a life full of ridiculous experiences in the religion, to realize that the organization and its gb are just another religion focused on control and conformity.

  so why do i keep digging into the insanity and contradictions that they're based on.

  i think i know why, just want to hear how others feel..
