  Memorial Audience Filled with Unbelieving Mates and Other Miserable Relatives

  i looked around my hall and saw so many miserable unbelieving mates and relatives it was actually funny.

  they were in a glazed-over stupor.

  they looked liked children forced to go to an opera.

  My New Thoughts on Adam and Eve (don't laugh)

  by xjwsrock in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  warning for those that are still believers... this train of thought will not be faith strengthening.... i have come a long way since first stumbling on crumbs of ttatt in 2012.

  (i have not come nearly as far with the wife unfortunately, but such is life.

  ) my critical thinking ability, thankfully, is in another stratosphere since figuring out i was a jw lab rat.

  i recall a conversation i had after an international convention.

  Women in this Org are looking for a Father Figure

  by xjwsrock in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is a rant mainly in response to my wife's reaction to the stupid clam meeting last night.

  bear in mind, while i am not sexist, i am also not politically correct.

  .... it is no secret that the women in this organization outnumber the men.

  Do You Think 10% Tithing is Coming?

  firstly, there are cash flow problems in wt town.

  i don't think it's necessary to list all the cutbacks and layoffs, but there have been many.. their thirst for money seems higher too in my opinion.

  more entitled may be a better way of putting it.

  Disfellowshipping Sounds Wonderful to Me Now

  by xjwsrock in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  2 people were read out last week as disfellowshipped.

  of course now the announcement is read "so and so is no longer one of jehovahs witnesses".

  they read that statement twice, once for each of the names.

  Mid - Week Meeting This Week

  by xjwsrock in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  millie210 posted this on another thread - i thought it deserved it's own op:.

  i took an elderly friend to the meeting last night.

  the study is in the "imitate their faith" book which is merely a compilation of previous short stories about bible characters that were featured in a series of watchtower articles.. they waste no time beginning their spinning and supposition with the cain/abel story.

  How Cultish are the JW's?

  by xjwsrock in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  first off, i certainly agree the jw's are a cult.

  but i'm sensitive to black-and-white thinking now.. so, where do they rank on the scale?

  think of a cultish religion scale from 0-10.. consider the likes of unitarian universalism vs baptist vs amish vs charles manson.. where do you think jw's fall on the scale?.
