Double standard of JWs

by exWTslave in

jws shun many practices like birthday citing their pagan/evil-spirit connection.

if they are honest with their claim, they wil have to leave this world altogether:.

1) in their bethels, brothers should compulsorily wear a neck-tie, which is actually a phallic symbol!.

While I agree with you about the inconsistencies, the site about Thomas Edison is the writers opinion on a story about Edison that may or may not even be true.

I believe Edison used his naps to tap into the wisdom of his intuition. He used these "naps" to tap into the mind of God.

I have heard that phenomenon referred to as image streaming. It happens to me all the time even when I'm awake. I just have to close my eyes and pay attention. The closest I can compare them to is an animated gif. None of mine seem particularly useful. Guess I'll have to pay attenion more when it happens.

Here is a site i found on the subject.

I have often wondered if that is where hallucinations come from when you are on hallucinogenic drugs.

How Do You Come to Terms with Being Just One of the 7 Billion?

by will-be-apostate in

being a jw makes one feel special, no doubt.

when i found out ttatt i realized i'm not special at all.

i'm just one of the other 7 billion human beings who will live and die being nobody, the world will forget about them (and i'm not talking about relatives and friend), they didn't make anything special in their life, they didn't change the course of history, were not famous nor rich, didn't invent facebook, google or anything awesome, didn't have an article published in newscientist, had no imdb profil, not even a wiki page, didn't write a book etc.

Learning TTATT puts you way ahead not behind.

The only thing holding you back is your "that's not gonna happen" attitude.

If you have a "I know it's going to happen" attitude you will be on the look out for opportunties and many will come along.

I like this quote and it seems fitting.

“Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right.”

what is wrong with WT's "--Will not pass AWAY--" write-ups?

by prologos in

"-- this generation will not pass away until all these things occur--" jesus in math.

24. what are these things?

disasters bigger than the flood?

I think they are trying to obfuscate things until the become so incomprehensible that nobody understands them. Everyone just assumes that the next guy must understand it but they have been trained not to ask so they just accept it.

If they are saying the anointed will pass away before the big A, I wonder if it is to curtail rogue partakers. Seems like that could backfire

Just remember, if the lifeguards tell you not to go swimming because it isn't safe, don't let the pack of 8 year old kids playing in the waves fool you or you're gonna get drilled!

I NEVER Hear A JW Talk About Never Dying & Living Forever In Paradise Anymore!

by minimus in

jw
friends

i was raised with this belief, that we would never die and actually make it into the "new system".

mu faithful jw aunt still talked about my mother (her sister) and her walking together into the great tribulation--- and never die at all!

she spoke of that 2 days before she passed away.. i believe most witnesses expect to die and then get resurrected.

I think they stay because the society make them feel worthless, prevents them from learning to take care of themselves and then threaten to kick them out if they mess up. But don’t worry we will all be going to God's Disney Land real soon now!!!

They remind me of an abusive husband that traps his wife into staying with him by belittling her and not allowing her to have a job or go to school so she has no choice but to stay.

Do any ex JW' s/ God believer's, Agnostics or Atheists believe in Karma? And WHY?

by rip van winkle in

just reading a thread and the mention of karma popped up.

( it happens, lol).

a lot of people believe in karma: what goes around comes around.. some months ago, while on another exjw site, karma was mentioned and i thought it a little odd, as they are atheist.

Watchtower Corporation Should Turn Into An Old Folks Care Center To Care For Those That Devoted Their Lives To Corporation Causes

by frankiespeakin in

i mean isn't that what jesus their master want as a form of loveing your neighbor especially those that devote their life to them and their silly dream about being god's organization..

mynameislame

that wold be the right thing for them to do, admit they had no idea what they were talking about then use their billions to rehabilitate all the dubs affected by their craziness.

Even if someone or something did create our universe it is yet another leap to say that somone had a direct hand in creating us.
