  Did you ever shun people when you were a dub? How did it feel?

  by oldlightnewshite in

  okay, i don't know lots of people that were df'd, but of all the times i've encountered df people when i was a dub, they actually blanked me!

  it was always something that i had fixed in my mind that the jws had dead wrong, even when i was an uber dub.

  i remember several times when i used to arrive late at meetings, and i'd make a point of getting eye contact with the poor dub at the back sitting on the naughty step.

  i am a born again christian, not a jehovah's witness.

  i have had many experiences with god, hearing god's voice, seeing minor miracles, have seen a woman healed instantly through prayer in jesus name.

  what is your view on the miraculous.

  Why aren't miracles ever documented on video? Is God hiding?

  Because nobody can prove God doesn't exist.

  But if God did exist, he could prove he exists, yet doesn't... kinda strange eh?

  a video will be posted later today where all the mysteries of god, the disgusting thing causing desolation, all the contradictions in the bible, why god in the old testament seemed so cruel, why was satan created if god is good, how is god love?

  all of the prophecies jesus had foretold which were hidden and lost yet being fullfilled the entire time.

  this is the good news that will then spread worldwide, and then the end will come.

  The New Diary of Winston Smith

  by WinstonSmith in

  2. experiences

  we had to go off grid for a time, time and half a time as we thought we had been outed.

  fortunately it was a false alarm, but it was a stressful time.

  i asked for my original diary thread to be deleted in case there could be anything on there to identlfy mrs smith and i. i am always very careful when posting, and am sure there was nothing on there, but felt it best to have it removed in order to be as cautious as a dove.

  By the way, what is the logic behind this?

  Happy birthday - Death at Armageddon

  Pagan. Birthday cakes, presents, candles all have pagan origins linked to guardian angels, zodiac, and in general religious superstition.

  You love yourself too much, so you deserve to be roast meat on Jehovah's Cook-Off challenge, A.K.A., Armageddon.

  Merry Christmas - You just missed out on everlasting life

  Pagan. Super-duper pagan. Jesus didn't erect an evergreen to commemorate his birth, rather he convinced his disciples to celebrate his death by eating his body and blood, symbolically of course. (Geez, that doesn't sound pagan at all...)

  It's all good though, your body will serve as fertilizer for the New System. You will live on forever, just not the way you expected.

  Happy Halloween - No resurrection for you buddy

  Pagan. This one I can understand. While it's an inoffensive excuse for adults to dress up, it really does have occult roots.

  Then again, what is difference in glorifying zombies, and glorifying the resurrected Jesus? Zombie Jesus?

  Happy Hannukah - You made God unhappy

  Hannukah is actually the celebration of the retaking of the temple in 2nd century BCE. Honestly, the only reason I can see themselves trying to distance themselves from this is that it really is culturally a Jewish-only relevant celebration. How many Christians celebrate Hannukah?

  It really makes no sense, however, to completely ban this celebration, as if anything it is rejoicing in gaining back God's own Holy Temple. But, whatever. None of this is supposed to make sense, only you are expected to obey.

  Do You Ever Doubt Your Efforts Are Futile?

  ...hello folks.... ...i've read countless of posts, ideas, opinions, etc here and i'm interested in your response.... ...there is a whole gamut of feelings here from individuals that are simply annoyed with the wt organization, to those that come off as hellbent on putting the org out of comission.... ...others yet seem to have made it their mission in life to eradicate the concept of god himself.... ...to any of these, what is your motivation?

  and do you ever doubt that these efforts are futile?

  do you feel that you posses the power/ability/means to change the convictions/faiths of the masses?

  to any of these, what is your motivation?

  What efforts? For me personally, I left. That's it. That's all I wanted to do. JWs can go about their business. I don't care what anyone believes.

  However, my response isn't met with the same feelings. My mom feels it is necessary to 'bring me back to the fold' and to wash my mind of 'apostate beliefs'. When she asks me questions, I feel obligated to respond. After all, I should be able to express myself without fear of reproof. That's when the shit storm starts, and that's why I'm so personally involved. I don't want to be, but as that famous Godfather III line goes, "Just when I thought I was out... they pull me back in".

  At the end of the day, my efforts will be futile, as my mother is moving away because she can't stand to live with her dissident son. So, why bother? I don't know... there have been moments I made her think. I guess it gives me some hope, but I've resigned myself to the reality. She will leave, I will move on.

  Oh, and I don't fully lay the blame on the religion; the blame is partially on her upbringing and life circumstances and her needy personality. I really pity that it had to come to this, but if she's die-hard committed to her relgion, I honestly don't want to keep her. She can go and do her thing, and I am free to do mine.
