  Qit - Your faith was built on the WTBS?

  I'm not sure what that means? I had a belief system set up around what came from the Americans at WT HQ. It was supposed to be from the Bible.

  Not sure if that's what you mean.

  After leaving the slaveholdery of the WTBT$, I became a mainstream Christian I think you could say.

  Funnily enough, it was in a Church I concluded there was probably no God as per Bible or other 'Holy' book.....and probably no higher creating, influencing power at all. (I mean there is naff all out there and never was that made or guides us).

  ...............but I could be convinced otherwise with some sort of tangible evidence.

  This reminds me of a 'Brother(tm)' back in the 1960's who was a bit of an attention seeker and when this very subject arose said, 'I say Fill-list-tee-ahn!'

  What a twat. He's dead now, so was it all worth it?

  Wow. I've come back to a lot of reading. Most interesting to see differing views. Thanks for your input. Whereas I try to give individual comments, I'm struggling this time.

  I will say, I wish you all the very best, Peaceful Pete.

  Blimey. 007 has lost some weight.

  Bluesy - I was thinking just how differently I read this stuff today than I did as a young man. Those of us brought up within it know that on Tuesday nights we were fed a diet of the Babylon Book, The Finished Mystery Book , The Revelation Book .

  Oh, my word. How I remember those awful Tuesday book studies. Such depressing times. when my friends at school were watching Doomwatch and other delights, I was sat with some weird people agreeing with mentally retarded views. Similar to......

  How do I view the world after leaving the JWs?

  1. Most politicians are disgusting filth. Political parties are disgusting filth. As George Carlin commented, 'it's a big club and you ain't in it!'

  Actually, that's about the same as I felt about them in the Jobos. No change there.

  2. the mainstream media is manipulative, devious, money loving scum.

  Again, no change there.

  3. There probably isn't a God, Gods or Godhead. I can't prove this either way but the cards are stacked in there not being a sky bigot. It's all a big fairy story that people have bought into or been forced into believing by unscrupulous attention seeking narcissists in funny hats.

  Part of that is no change...although I wholly believe in God (the big J-man), when I was a Jobot.

  4. People are a let down.

  Nothing much to say about that.

  Much of how I see the world may not have changed much. However, the bit without God is a real game changer because there is no future.

  Are Jehovahs Witnesses a cult?

  by GoverningBody in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this question has been presented many times throughout the years.

  somewhat recently, there has been much talk surrounding the "bite method" :.

  "bite” stands for behavior, information, thought, and emotional control.. some examples were thrown at me, such as the decisions of who we associate with, discouraging any worldy media, encouraging our brothers and sisters to report any of our misbehaviours to the elders, our rejection of criticism on the truth, shunning etc.. what do we think about this?.

  Whether it's a cult or not really doesn't answer the question: Is this a dangerous thing to belong to?

  from an interview with ebony magazine:.

  in 1987, he left the jehovah's witnesses.

  Biahi - They don’t hold wealthy donors to the same standards as the lower income people.

  Nuff said!

  Why does anyone believe this Bible nonsense in 2022?

  Answers on a postcard.....

  I'll be honest, believe what you want, I don't care unless it causes harm......like the Bible, Quran and other stupid books usually do.
