  From 1 to 10, how do you rate the value of the Internet in your awakening?

  as we all know, the internet is a real game-changer in allowing us to know the truth about the watch tower and its history.

  i always had doubts and it was the internet that presented me with the ever-growing number of individuals who were going through a similar struggle.. i give the internet a 9 in my awakening.

  what about you?.

  Lowering the standards: The sign of a cult struggling for survival

  by Hidden-Window in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  many of the recent changes in the jehovah's witness organization are a clear sign of a cult that is struggling for survival.

  the internet has change the scenario in a very dramatic way.

  many of us who for years struggled alone with doubts and cognitive dissonance thinking that we were the only ones, that we, as individuals were the issue, now know that there is a large community of individuals who see the organization as what it is, a mind controlling cult that is not only false, but also dangerous.. the governing body clearly understands the consequences of this awakening.

  Having been a former elder for over forty years I watched silently the decay of the org. I am an avid reader and every time I mention this I am poo pooed however there does exist some evidence that CT Russell was founded into existance along with the Mormons by the Rothchild money. If that is true there is definately someone at the top pulling the strings. That and the banks they use exclusively are owned by the Rothchilds. That Is my sincere beleif. Call me an old senile man whatever. But that is how I have seen it.

  When my wife came home after this past weeks meeting. I raised the same point to her. It was clear that she didnt even think about it, all she heard was how wonderful it is and that they are reviving the old drunks rhetoric LOL. My poor wife is so blind that facts do not even matter and that is how the whole group of JWs are.

  I tol;d her I couldnt beleive that they had the balls to use 100 years of preaching as a way to promote their damm website. They have all of the idiots happilly running around wasting gas and money passing out fliers advertising their website while the bastards sit back and laugh like hell.

  I bet there are many other corporations that wish they had so many devoted stupid people to advertise for free.

  Born In JWs: Were You Abused According to the CDC?

  by ABibleStudent in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  child abuse in the usa.

  child abuse is the physical, sexual or emotional maltreatment or neglect of a child or children.

  in the united states, the centers for disease control and prevention (cdc) and the department for children and families (dcf) define child maltreatment as any act or series of acts of commission or omission by a parent or other caregiver that results in harm, potential for harm, or threat of harm to a child.

  My heart goes out to you. I know the pain of getting old and not having children. I am not sure of your age but I am in my late 60s and it absolutely stinks. And I blame the J W completely. Had I know how it would be now I would have left my J W wife 25 years ago. Sorry to run on with the oh poor me blues.

  Yes the way I was raised as a JW was definately a form of abuse. The mental stress put on young ones is extreme. I still suffer got married and the constant guilt to not have children has left me and my wife damaged goods (although she can not see it) and now old and no children to relate to. Im sad as well as stuck in.

  Does consciousness end with the death of the body

  by givemejustalittlemoretime in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  apparently, the carvakas in anceint hinduism were materialists and skeptics, arguing that consciousness ends with the death of the body and that therefore we should take pleasure in this life while we possess it and practice compassion toward others.

  they also argued that direct observation is the only certain way to know anything, and thus the existence of supernatural forces and realities cannot be established and must be rejected.

  MADS Giant Sorry for being a prick.? I think more asshole better explains you. Read the damm book, it is not a paper as you state ! Also Lanza is a very intelligent man not just one with a theory but as well an MD and surgeon and graduated from M I T.

  I stand by my original statement. Most of you can not get rid of the JW thinking process. Witnesses in disguise!!!!!! Open your mind to the possibility of other things than those you have been told. The points I mention are mine and I do not give a rap what any of you think. Some day all truths will be exposed just as the lies of the Watchtower are being exposed now.

  Do not even bother to answer again. I will not reply or read any more comments on this subject. stuck in

  Viviane to say atoms are invisable is not entirely true. Why? an atom is smaller than a single wavelength of visable light. You can't see it with the naked eye , dosent mean it isnt there or visable. I think much in the same way that we see the sky as blue because that is the wavelenghth that the human eye sees the most of.

  One thing I can see with this discussion is that most of us still have the same circular reasoning that we developed as witnesses. Most people are unable to open their minds to thinking for themselves. Read Lanzas book and view his research and that of others. Take a And then come back and make your assertions against his work. And open your mind to other things as possiblity and not just discrediting it. Stuck In

  I know I am late to the party however having read Dr Lanzas book I also feel that life and consciousness are seperate. By the way the two slit experiment was not conducted by Dr Lanza. I do not purport to be a scientist but I do find Dr Lanza very facinating and think that more will come out on this subject. Also the fact that atoms are not solid and yet solid objects are full of atoms. Could it be that what we see is what we have been told about and that such items are just a mass of atoms. Indian folklore tells of American indians standing on the shore unable to recognize a ship coming to port. Why? they had never seen a ship before. To me it sounds reasonable and I think that there are many things that we do not yet understand. Just my two cents. Stuck In
