A philosophical question .... what does the word God mean to you personally ?

by Finkelstein in

to myself it means to seek knowledge and understanding of are selves and the world in which we live.. unfortunately history has shown whenever one tries to connect to god and of his knowledge through men who say they themselves are connected to god through spiritual wifi ie.

gb members of the jehovah's witnesses for example, one usually ends up finding a accumulation of only man's acquired knowledge.

over thousands of years of trying to connect to a god(s) for help and answers, mankind has eventually relinquished himself to seeking answers through scientific investigative acquired knowledge of the world in which we live in.

For me, "god" is nothing but a joke at best and a trigger word at its worst.

Seriously....We have to start attacking this cult!!! Enough is enough!!

by DATA-DOG in

i propose that we make pintrest accounts and start openly challenging this crap.. .

seriously.... any suggestions?

this crap cannot be left unchallenged.

DarioKehl

How is this not a violation of bOrg copyright/trademark? If I wanted to make a Tony the Tiger board game AND SELL IT, Kellogs would have every right to sue the hell out of me.

where are mike & kim now?

looks like the org. stopped all the "leaks"

by nowwhat? in

cedars site hasn't had anything new since september when the new mid week meeting was disclosed.

wonder if the moles were caught.

DarioKehl

No leaks only means there is nothing to leak. There are only one or two major things per year anyway.

One thing we can know with certainty is, the bOrg will NEVER stop the leaks. The Information Age is here and enough people on the inside are aware that something is wrong with this organization.

The leaks are here to stay. What we need to anticipate is the Borgs response to this. They'll have to scare the sheep away from leaked info somehow, and it will be clever & manipulative.

Any former elders brains I could pick?

i posted in another topic a few hours ago.

it is my first time on here or any website like this, ever.

i was dfed back in september for adultery.

DarioKehl

I disagree with the people who say you'll never get reinstated if you marry the other guy.

you also just admitted that you've never been to or posted on a website like this "ever." My advice? Here goes:

you have this other guy. Being in love with someone--a healthy, true love--will get you through this tough time in your life. You have each other and you share the same predicament. I know of 3 couples who got married while DF'ed and got reinstated within the year. It happens.

--BUT--

because you've only just begun reading "apostate" information, honey... let me explain something to you and read very carefully: prepare for your mind to be blown. You're going to discover so many things about this organization that you never knew--things they would never admit to--things they tell active JWs are "lies," but they're not lies! They're true. All of it, documented an archived online forever just waiting for curious doubters to look behind the curtain. You keep focusing on researching this cult and if you love this guy, do it now while you're both out and do it TOGETHER. Otherwise, you may miss your shot at him.

Once you you realize the corruption, deceit and evil behind JW leadership, you may not WANT to return.

and consider this: right now, you're already where many of US on this forum want to be, but we're trapped. For you, the hard part is over! You're out and you're free from their man made rules. So, if you're currently out & free, seriously, date whoever the hell you WANT to--their rules do not govern you anymore. It would be tragic to turn down the chance of having a perfect, loving soulmate simply due to social pressures from friends, family and a diabolical cult that ruins lives and feeds off of people's misery.

i hope the best for you and your DF'ed BF. Study study study about JW history, JW scandal, JW cover-ups and JW deceptions. Begin with jwfacts dot com and watch as many ex JW YouTube vids as you can. I recommend John Cedars.

you may want to educate yourself on science, critical thinking, application of reason, skepticism and atheism. Start there. Read stuff about evolution (whether you believe it or not) and try to prove it wrong. You'll learn very early that you had NO. IDEA. about what evolution actually is because the JW literature presents a strawman.

oh--and look in to "logical fallacies." Google that term, print off the list and grab any JW publication you can get your hands on and play a logical fallacy search game.

One final tip: read ex-member stories from OTHER religions. Reddit has sub forums for ex-mormons, ex-7th day, ex scientologists... watch TV shows & documentaries about people who've left a different religion and it's amazing, the similarities. All cults use the same tactics. Those people suffer the same thoughts and fears exjws do ("OMG what have I done? I'm gonna die at Armeggedon!" "Oh sure, the mormons are effed up, that's crazy, but... JWs have the truth! Right???"). On those forums, you'll see posts of letters, emails and text messages from friends, family & ranking people from their cult with the exact same guilt-tripping and manipulative tactics. ALL cults do this, young lady. Your are a victim of cult abuse and you need to hear that! Know it. Investigate it. A 19th Century New England PRINTING COMPANY is not god!!!!

please stay in touch with us and ENJOY your recent freedom. I mean it! Enjoy it.

To me this seams like more than a coincidence ...

sorry if this has been discussed before.... for a few days now, this question has been going through my mind.

what was the date the governing body took the sole role of the faithful and discreet slave and how close was it to the end of the mayan calendar in december of 2012?

i looked it up on jwfactes.com and sure enough, checkout the date on this article:.

DarioKehl

Sorry, but you lost me at "seams."

And it was Dec. 21, 2012. Not November 10, 2012.

Going to the C.L.A.M.

by freemindfade in

so i haven't been to a midweek meeting in some time.... but i must attend this first clam (not to be confused with 'klan') meeting.

.

want to take a look for curiosity sake then go back to never attending another midweek meeting again.

DarioKehl

The first ever CLAM will have peak attendance. Then it will fall back to equilibrium--kinda like the meetings the week of 9/11

JT & Lady Cee Why we left the Jehovah's Witnesses - Part 1

by JT-LadyC in

many years ago, my husband and i appeared on the board that was known as h20 aka simon's site.

it has been a while since we have posted anything, so i guess i can say that this is like coming out of retirement.

lol.

DarioKehl

I discovered your podcast back in November. Informative, well delivered and very nicely produced. I think it's also perfect for people who were never JWs at all.

keep em coming!

Blood Cards on File with the Elders?

by EyesOpenHeartBroken in

i have a question for elders here or recent elders.

were the elders, in the last 10 years, given instruction to keep a copy of every publishers blood card on file at the kh?.

we moved to our current cong 6 years ago, and shortly after we moved in, the boe requested everyone update and give a copy of card to the kh.

DarioKehl

That elder was way out of line telling you which options are "correct." If god's organization provided options from which you chose, none of them can be "wrong." How dare he! This is a personal choice--he can't force his opinion onto something this important. What an invasion of privacy. You need to report this to the CO. As horrible as the blood policy is, he's way overstepped his boundaries as an elder.
