  In love with disfellowshipped JW

  by Amberlou in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i started dating a coworker who is a divorced jw.

  found out he was disfellowshipped, and he was trying to figure out how to make things work.

  i am not a jw, and his family is not supportive of the relationship.

  As MEATLOAF says in PARADISE BY THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS --

  STOP RIGHT THERE!!!!

  First you need to know if they guy still believes the JW stuff. If he does, get the hell outta there!

  Some people are DFd because they find out it is really NOT "The Truth".

  Other people are DFd because they simply cannot live by the JW Rules. (ie, no pre-marital sex). If he is this latter case, then he will marry you and go right back to the JW Cult (now being to have sex with a wife and live by "their rules"). He will likely expect you to convert. (After all, JW's have The Truth!) He will expect (and be expected) to raise any children as JW's. Your children will be denied higher education and will be expected to sell WT literature door-to-door. He will refuse to approve of you or your children having a blood transfusion in a life threatening situation.
  

  I don't think you know what you are getting into here yet. You need to have a sit-down and serious discussion.

  YOU need to learn more about JW's before that sit down so you can ask pertinent questions. JW's are NOT just another protestant religion that happens to be a little "strange". JW's are a Cult. They are about "control". If he is married to a non-JW, he will always be a 2nd Class JW.

  Good luck!

  Why is this an APOSTATE site?!?

  by LaraK in

  1. forum
  2. suggestions

  i made a big mistake when signing up at this supposed website for jehovah's witnesses.

  after reading some things on this site it has become apparent to me that this site is nothing put another pathetic site for apostates: people who betrayed jehovah, left the truth, and are so bitter about their experiene in the truth, and they are angry just like satan because they know they will very soon be dead at jehovah's hand!.

  this website should be renamed something more fitting like "satan's playground" or a similar name that would get across the message of your site.. sincerely,.

  I'd estimate that this site (and others like it) have resulted in the reduction of active JW's by at least 50%. At least 50% of the JW's I have known through the years have "dropped out" of the Cult. Some going quietly. Some going out with a "bang".

  WTS can not longer control the negative information. The internet is their nemesis.

  The Truth (about The Truth) will set you free!

  Watchtower August 2020 Are they introducing new light?

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the latest watchtower is now out and they make this statement -.

  7 during the thousand year rule of christ, all of jehovah’s earthly children will have to make changes to please him.

  so all of them will have true fellow feeling as they help the resurrected ones to combat sinful tendencies and to live by jehovah’s standards.

  Agree that this is a slip up on the part of the New Boy in the Writing Dept.

  This GB only bring out the New Light when they are "forced" to make a change because the "Old Light" has burnt out, ie, the OverLapping Generations -- the old "this generation will not pass away" had burnt out. That generation was dead. They HAD passed away.

  Wednesday afternoon GB Meeting: "Oh shit, Sherlock! We better conjure up some new razzle dazzle spin on this!"

  TA DA! OVERLAPPING GENERATIONS! It was so obvious! How did we miss it before?

  Let us praise the infinite wisdom of the GODs (Guardians Of Doctrine)!

  When your "facts" are wrong, you're spreading BS.

  When you state it wrong, then someone else picks it up and repeats it wrong (perhaps because they respect your opinions), and there it goes................FAKE NEWS?? KILLED vs shot in the foot or hand (that's the FACTS) is not a small oversight. It's about as wrong as you can get (other than the bullet missed).
  

  Recall: "I can see Russia from my house."

  Four police officers dead in St Louis - one in Vegas.

  Reference please....................

  I believe it is FOUR POLICE OFFICERS SHOT IN ST LOUIS.

  None of which received life threatening injuries.

  Get your shit straight.

  Even the Vegas cop (shot in the head) has not died.

  WHAT WE DESPERATELY NEED IS REFORM OF LAW ENFORCEMENT.

  If you see a BLACK MAN KILLED BY A WHITE COP -- you're seeing this all wrong. This was an INNOCENT MAN KILLED BY A BAD COP.

  It happens much too often here in the USA. Of course, it only makes news when it's black victim/white copy -- that is "news worthy" to the shit disturbing liberal media.

  Your barber/hair stylist has greater oversight and accountability than do Law Enforcement Officers in the US.

  I know of a brother who refused re-appointment as an elder. Said he did not want the stress of the responsibility. Accepted to remain a MS.

  Covid-19 death rate

  by BourneIdentity in

  1. social
  2. current

  worldwide numbers – 13%.

  deaths: 359,791. recovered: 2,399,247. active cases 3,044,378. we need to throw out the active cases in our calculations, as we don’t know if those people will survive or die.

  deaths + recovered is 2,759,038. deaths/deaths + recovered = death rate.. 359,791/2,759,038 = 13%.

  Think of the millions of cases of corona that are not and never will be included in the active cases or recovered.

  Think of all the cases being coded as corona related deaths that really are not. Medicare is paying an additional $17,000 if a patient has CV-19 and that more than doubles if it results in a death.There is a financial incentive to label everything as CV-19. (Not that hospitals would EVER do that to get more revenue!)

  So, how many who were hospitalized or who died WITH CV-19 were labeled as having been admitted or having died FROM CV-19?
