feeling of hopelessness and fear

do you have feelings of hopelessness and fear for not having a religion?.

do you envy happy jehovah witnesses and living their lives carefree?.

Autumnation4414

Nope, never been happier in my life. In fact, I was depressed and in a very, very, very dark place with no love for myself being a JW. Leaving literally saved my life. Can't even really express how meaningful that was for me.

Most JW's don't have a carefree life. There are too many rules and regulations. It's being in an abusive relationship.

I envy no one. If there's something I want or improvements I can make to better myself and my situation, I take responsibility and make it happen. I can do that now that I'm flying free.

I talked to an elderly lady, but she is not a Jehovah’s Witnesses

by John Aquila in

i was coming out of sams club and i bumped into an elderly lady, probably late 70s early 80s.

(i wasnt about to ask a lady what her age is.

) one of the workers was pushing a cart full of rib-eye steaks.

You, sir, are the old-woman whisperer

Loved the parallels between their lives. I always see these tag lines on JW facebook pages and instagram accounts that says "best life ever" that causes instant eye rolls on my behalf. These people don't even understand what they are missing or how good the personal freedom is. They just keep drinking the kool aid.

August Study WT "Prepare Now to be a Good Little Drone in the New Order"

by JW_Rogue in

i thought paradise was supposed to be a delight?

not according to the august study wt, on page 20 paragraphs 4-12 it outlines how much paradise will be exactly like being in the org today.

still following rules, waiting on jehovah and obeying those taking the lead.

And what would prevent factions from revolting against the WT and living in their own parts of the world? Afterall, there are only 7.5 million witnesses so there would be ample of land to restart your own cicilization far from any shunning or any other course of disciplinary actions.

You ever notice how the WT never goes into detail about the clean up process of the paradise? The world's entire infrastructure is going to be destroyed and so its safe to assume that the internet, electricity, cell phones, streets, etc are all gone. How do these non-educated, science-hating people assume they are going to handle all of that? The people won't be perfect so people will still need their medicine. Where are they gonna get it? What about if someone gets hurt or needs a blood transfusion? I know it's probably a "wait on Jehobo" kind of thing but does that make any damn sense?

A new religion/cult?

a new religion?.

it has been a while that i didn't post.

as some of you may know i live in italy and ( maybe ) something curious is happening.

Autumnation4414

There has been break offs from the Witnesses from the very beginning. They go nowhere and have wayyyyyyy out there crazy ideas. Nothing new.

Exactly. The JW's themselves are just an off shoot from the Advent movement starting with the Millerites. Since then there have been so many others springing up. It won't stop.

The elderly sisters are at it again.

by John Aquila in

awhile back, about a year and a half ago, when i was starting to wake up, i explained to my mom that when the circuit overseer is in town, they schedule shepherding calls after lunch, not because they care, but because they dont want to work door to door in the hot summer or cold winter.

and they know that a prepared call means some nice hot chocolate and cookies or some ice cold tea and snacks.

i remember her looking at me kind of funny so i ended the conversation and left it at that, and never brought it up again.

Autumnation4414

That was the best thing I have read today! Thank you so much for sharing, I had the best laugh. I freaking LOVE those elderly sisters. The CO should be bring THEM lunches!

JW UN Rumor

by ivanatahan in

jw
friends

yes, i have returned.. a short recap of major events since my inactivity began: i finally revealed to my parents that i do not believe the same thing they believe in (after i was caught smooching my girlfriend by a family of good-for-nothing pieces of human feces), and of course they view themselves as failed parents who were unable to brainwash their children.

that is, of course, the reason why they are much more controlling over what i do in my life now (my mom even tried having a "bible study" with me).

i told them everything and i was unable to dent their jw imposed mind force field, while also exposing a clear jw misunderstanding of probability, evolution, history, logic/reason, and the big bang theory.. in a conversation i had with my mother a few weeks back (i also heard this rumor before, but my mother told me it again), she mentioned how the un held a summit of all religions and when the jws presented themselves and mentioned their preaching work warning of the coming un ban on religion (referring to an international organization who can't even prevent genocide, much less impose human rights), a un official came up to the jw who presented the cult and told him to "speed up the preaching work", because they plan on doing the ban soon.. it saddens me to think of how ignorant jws are in relation to the principles upon which the un was founded and being unaware that the un at least has some sense as to not ban religion, but this rumor, as ridiculous as it is, needs to be put at rest.

My favorite JW myth was the one about the smurf doll that got up and walked out of the meeting, proving that smurfs were satanic.

WE NEED MORE MONEY! (Letter sent to Mexico re: JW Broadcasting of May 2015).

by avaddohn94 in

i don't know if they're making similar arrangements in other parts of the world but below you will find the letter (and the translation attempt) they're sending to all the congregations in mexico and central america asking them to modify their september 21 and september 28 service meeting programs.. after watching jackson's gold apple watch and lett's pinky ring one can only assume they are a bunch of brazen, shameless and greedy bastards!.

the letter has already been uploaded at the spanish forum and you can find it if you click here or see the attached picture.. the translation "attempt" is as follows:.

august 1, 2015. to all congregations.
