Slimboyfat: Why did you decide to write a topic on this site saying you were going back to the Jehovah's Witnesses?
by silentbuddha in
1. jw
2. experiences
the topic concerning why the other user allows jw's by to eat is what prompted this thought in my mind.

maybe i am not remembering this correctly, but seem to remember a number of years ago that you decided to stop posting here and then all of a sudden you posted that this was an apostate website, you didn't want to be here, and that you were returning to jehovah.

( i may be slightly off, but it was something along those lines.. i am just wondering if you ever offered an explanation of why you did that?.

Daniel 2:42 , is it really unstable democratic governments?
by raymond frantz in
1. watchtower
2. bible
in its latest front page article titled “political turmoil that fulfills bible prophecy”, jw.org once again attempts to connect current world events with the vision found in daniel chapter 2, particularly the image composed of various metals.

their interpretation of daniel 2:42 is laid out in the following paragraph: "the feet of the image are made ‘partly of iron and partly of clay,’ a combination that is inherently weak.

(daniel 2:42) today, the power of both the united states and britain is weakened by elements within their own societies.

What was your deconstruction process from being a jw?
by Touchofgrey in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i became aware of jws and the un ,so i checked the internet and found it was true that they were a member, and that led me down the rabbits hole and started to look into the history of the bible students and the behaviour of russell and rutherford etc ,and how much the teaching changed and the internal politics and the failed end of the world teachings etc.. i then found myself in a no man's land regarding god and the bible, i then began to use critical thinking regarding the bible and if there was a god , looking into the origins of the bible and it's stories eg adam and eve story, flood legends, exodus from egypt and if the jesus story was historical or not etc .. looking at the origin of our universe and the planet earth led me to the conclusion that no god exists.

.

the purpose of this topic is just to understand your deconstruction purpose from the jws and not to get into arguments about our now held beliefs or lack of.

Few JW leader have children
by slimboyfat in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
it’s been discussed before that few jw leaders, past and present, have had children.

this is in contrast with other groups, such as the mormons, whose leaders have had a lot of children.

i wonder if this has impacted jw growth.

The letter I cannot write
by Anony Mous in
1. watchtower
2. child-abuse
abusers like you don’t kill.

that would be too kind.. they ruin your childhood, they ruin your teenage years, instill lifelong fears.. they ruin your academic performance and the chance at higher education.

they hold you back in jobs, because you’re afraid, and hold you back in moving away, because they need you to validate them.. and then when we eventually break free, you follow, you interrupt, because we’re too afraid, you molest the ones we love because you feel you have the power.
