Bullied At School

by Lost in the fog in

just curious about the rest of you.

i was bullied quite badly throughout my school years because of being a witness and not participating in religious holidays, sporting celebrations, assembly (worship), and the like.. it was mostly from other pupils but there were a couple of teachers who definitely treated me badly.

that was back when uk teachers still caned pupils or were allowed to hurl the heavy wooden blackboard duster across the room at them.... i still have ptsd flashbacks on some of those events even after 50 years!

I was bullied because I was a Jobot but not all that much.

There was a teacher that shouted at me for expressing Jobot ideas. This was in the 60's and 70's.

I was mainly bullied because I was a twat.

Latest Watchtower tells THE TRUTH!!

by BoogerMan in

the sheeple have always been indoctrinated to think of themselves as witnesses for jehovah.. but the 8m followers of the jw governing body are now told a biblical truth - that they are witnesses for jesus!.

Jan - The Churches of Christendom preach the Trinity so equating Jesus with Jehovah.

I wouldn't disagree. It seems the Jobots have their own version of what the Trinity is and claim that their version is what 'christendom(tm) teaches.

It's just another strawman or whatever you call them that the Jobot HQ has invented to keep the 'happiest people on Earth(tm) giving their money for TOMO's alcoholism and possible child porn addiction.

by Nathan Natas in

see: https://7news.com.au/news/crime/senior-jehovahs-witnesses-member-charged-with-rape-torture-and-assault-of-teenage-boys-c-8044666.

"senior jehovah’s witnesses member charged with rape, torture and assault of teenage boys...".

the 61 year-old man "faces 21 counts of rape, 17 counts of sexual assault, 13 counts of procuring sexual acts by false pretence and one count each of incest, torture and common assault.".

If he get's away with it, then the accusations are all 'apostate lies(tm)'.

If he gets convicted, all the Jobots will claim, 'he wasn't a real JW from the start.'

Either way, they think they win. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the abuse of children is not stopped.

Watchtower and truth are not 2 words I associate with each other.

When will they become Jesus' Witnesses? Probably never.

I wonder how they'll retract this?

I'm not going to read their utter garbage of this article because I'd sooner gnaw my knees off.

Why are so many Jehovah’s Witnesses Angry and Rude?

by Vanderhoven7 in

why do you think many jws are hostile and rude?

or is that just my imagination?.

Watchtower 1961 Jul 15 p.420 "Jesus encouraged his followers to love their enemies, but God's Word also says to "hate what is bad." When a person persists in a way of badness after knowing what is right, when the bad becomes so ingrained that it is an inseparable part of his make-up, then in order to hate what is bad a Christian must hate the person with whom the badness is inseparably linked."

It depends who you meet. Some are ok.

The rude ones just prove they're not proper Christians. They're in denial and afraid something will pop their bubble of lies AKA WBT$ 'truth(tm)'.

questions for those who were once elders

by enoughisenough in

i watched some wendi renay youtube videos.

the former elder who was being interviewed mentioned a couple of things i noted.

i would like to know what your reactions were at the time you learned what i am going to relate if you had the same or kindred experience.

Nuffy - Elder's schools were a boring waste of time. All word salad and COs being bullies. Following along and watching .demonstrations(tm) from the Elder's manual about how to deal with situations. Yawnfest.

There were those that came away saying how encouraging(tm) it all was. I just tbought it was sh1t but dare not say. I'd smile and nod but keep my trap shut.

Angels? Never heard anything like that. We were always hounded about how we could be better.

Bible for the Anointed(tm), never heard anything like that at Elder school(tm).

Ding - "How much backbiting / cliquishness did you experience within the group of elders?"

Lots. I never made it into the clique. The clique that always got used on A$$emb£ies were the most arrogant pigs of the lot.

It was so depressing, I needed to drink to numb the cog-dis.

No part of the world

by Lost in the fog in

the wt calls itself christian while at the same time insisting that its witnesses don't mix with other christian groups but remain separate.. to be no part of the world.. i was mulling this over recently in my personal bible reading.

in the first century that demarcation would have made sense because apart from your fellow worshippers the rest of mankind were going to be jewish, roman, polytheistic, pagan, or (i guess much like today) didn't really care.. christians had no worries about meeting up with other people who believed in jesus the same as they did even if there were minor differences depending on who had first taught the gospel message to them.

but nowadays there's not just one christian group against the world, there's lots of "christians" out there.

The WBT$ is not a real religion, Christian or otherwise. they are just a corporation that fools the JWs into thinking it's a religion. I have long thought that the Governing Body(tm) (Pee be upon them), know this and are just cashing in. They are probably atheists and certainly some or all amongst them are child sex offenders.

They are 'no part of the world(tm), in as much as they wish to keep JWs asleep and giving their money and assets to the GB(tm).

It's all fake. All for money, power and hubris.
