  JWs, UFO's, demons, and the book "The Dark Gods"

  by MikeHammer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have been looking into this issue that (many/most/all/etc) ufos are caused by demons as seems to be said by jws.

  some time ago when i browsed this site i read a posting where someone recommended a book titled "the dark gods" by roberts and gilbertson (here is a link to the book at amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/dark-gods-anthony-roberts/dp/009138771x).. besides that one there are a couple of other books that i have checked (one of these is "operation trojan horse" by john keel and the other one is "a guide to the paranormal" by magnus raven).

  both of these say the same thing although they approach this issue from different directions.. looking at the amazon reviews for "the dark gods" it looks like it also says the same thing but the book is out of print.

  The point is, wt squelches any fun or enjoyment by discouraging imagination.

  ufo lore has now attained the level of romantic legend; it's apocryphal tales transcend borders. It piques the interest of young minds and lays the foundation for exploration.

  but the bOrg comes along & says, "nope. bad. unbiblical. stay focused on JW shit. and fuck your imagination--satan likes a daydreamer."

  The modern ufo mythos is bullshit, but it's also just another "frowned upon" thing by this miserable fucking cult--and THAT is what makes me angry.

  The Watchtower are humans

  by WireRider in

  the watchtower are humans.

  they have never had any conversation with any god, let alone one by a made up name.

  they never had any power at all bestowed upon them.

  ATT: WARNING

  by EJ257 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  please be aware of everything that is happening around the world at this moment in time.

  this goes to anyone, ex-communicated, removed, serving, believer and non.

  at this point in my observations i have realized many religions/ideologies know there is some sort "end of time" or a transition into a new order of living in this earth.

  Nope. You are simply wrong.

  We are actually living in the best time ever, thanks to science.

  Keep the tinfoil hat; I won't be needing one.

  Things WT Would Have To Do To Be An Acceptable Religion

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  drop shunning or at least drop shunning among family members.

  make blood transfusions a conscience matter, no more hlc.

  drop the two witness rule, mandatory reporting of child abuse, no privileges for offenders.

  Based on Sam herd's video, the R&F DO write in and the bOrg DOES respond to their feedback.

  We need to bombard headquarters with this list. It's simple, concise and reassuring; give us what we want and we'll go away.

  Did I imagine a brief thaw in the Watchtower injunction against going to university?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  okay i was talking to an elder and he said me going to university was a bad idea and i should have listened to the society and not gone.

  but i said that when i went to university the watchtower was saying it might not be a bad idea to go to, as long as you do it for the "right reasons", don't associate with worldly people, and keep clear of "damaging ideas".

  but basically they said it was okay, in this "changing world" and job market to go to university.

  There absolutely was a thaw and I took full advantage of it. Obtained my 4-yr degree while serving as an MS and was even interviewed with another JW (who was living on campus; I merely commuted) on a convention part about balancing our priorities. We both specifically mentioned "college," "university" and "degree" more than once. Only in the last 3 years or so have they started tightening the noose again.

  i am jehovah's witness, despite some of the questionable teachings, crimes, and other outlandish behaviors of specific people affiliated with the religion.

  i know that my relationship with jehovah is not influenced by any outside factors.

  i do not condone any crime.

  (picture taken from the wt study some weeks back).

  all these years, i've always dreaded waking up early for field service.

  i'm a night owl & love to sleep late, so it was excruciating for me to have to wake up early in the mornings & go door knocking.

  Are we participants in this forum because of bouts of "loneliness"?

  by Wonderment in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i wonder how many of us here hold on to this meeting place out of "loneliness.

  could it be that we harbor feelings of "abandonment" and "loneliness" from being left cold and dry by the wt people and our families?

  perhaps we do have a need to reach out to people with similar experiences.

  Personally, I've never experienced loneliness. I enjoy solitude way too much (probably even border on misanthropy, but I try to curb that).

  Actually, I felt more isolated, exposed, ashamed, vulnerable and on the verge of losing my mind when I was still an active dub. To be surrounded by nosey, closed-minded, overall dumb, uneducated, fake, insincere, dick-waving, hypocritical, back-stabbing religitard assholes with their conditional love was far more torturous than ever being off on my own.

  I knew a guy just like that, Divergent! He always had stories or illustrations that included naked or topless women--even if they weren't essential elements to the plot. lol

  my creepy story: I was mid-20s, MS, pioneer goody 2-shoes. My mom--not bad looking. She had a part on the circuit assembly. When it was over & everyone was visiting & making plans, this really creepy guy in his mid-30s approached me. I'd known this guy most of my life, but he wigged everyone out with his strange, dark behavior. He walked right up to me and said, "wow. your mom looks good! if your dad ever dies, i will ask her out."
