  I really need some help to get out of this religion

  by doughnutkitty in

  hi, i've been lurking on this site for quite a while after recently having doubts about the "truth".

  i've read a lot of posts about problems with the doctrines, mind control, the beliefs, brainwashing that jehovah's witnesses and their literature, as well as their history.

  now only being a sixteen year old born in who isn't baptized or unbaptized, i've come to find all this information incredibly overwhelming.

  You are a smart young person and I am just sure you are going to make it just fine. I am thrilled to hear that a young one has awakened and is not going to have to spend a life serving a publishing house. Good for you. We are here for you, our new friend.

  Would you by a new car or a new appliance without seeing what others have to say bout it?

  Dont just study what Jehovah's witnesses say, read what others who are not Jehovah's witnesses have to say.

  www.jwfacts.com as mentioned is where you should start.

  A Brief History of Racism in Watchtower Publications

  by cedars in

  2. scandals

  i've just completed a lengthy article on the history of racism in the society's publications.

  many people (including myself, until recently) aren't aware that the society's early publications were brimming with racist rhetoric, and this only calmed down as the public mood towards racism changed, most notably with the civil rights movement in the 50s/60s.. a few "headliners" from the article are:.

  russell segregated blacks from whites for viewings of the photodramarussell believed that the skin of a black man would turn white during the millennial kingdomunder russell, the society's publications portrayed the black races as "degraded" and the white race as "superior"rutherford viewed the blacks as a "race of servants", and spoke of "sobering the southern negro" in an article against prohibitionunder rutherford, the golden age slammed uncle tom's cabin (a work that helped end slavery) as being "the work of satan"; the same article branded spaniards a "backwards race"rutherford accused "jewish business men" of "oppressing the peoples of many nations"in 1929 the golden age (acknowledged by the society as essentially the same magazine as the modern awake!

  Wow, this is some damaging information about the Society's past. I wonder when it was that Jehovah changed his mind about racism? At least the black race wasn't annihilated by Jehovah like so many other national groups in the old testiment. Soon, Jehovah's Witnesses can look forward to 7 billion people of all races being permanently destroyed. They will then be happified.

  i never really liked the 'pirates' movies that much, so i don't know how i was talked into this one.

  it's a shame because johnny depp is much better than these quirky roles he is now assigned to play.

  just hope he puts a few million of this payday in his kid's college fund.

  where did the gb come up with the idea that one has to know jehovah in order to be saved and survive armageddon?

  what scriptures???

  the new testament is all about the spreading the 'good news of christ', so how did they come up with this crap?.

  In the book of Ezekial it says about 65 times that you must call upon the name of Jehovah to get saved and must come to know Jehovah...for what it's worth.
