My JW sister was showing off her tablet at a funeral and pointing out to the bible ( their version of course), the magazines, the prodigal son video, etc. I made the comment ... hey you are telling me the internet is not demonic anymore? Because they used to say all this stuff was from satan. Of course I said it aloud for as many relatives to hear and many laughed. So can't wait for JWs to come knocking at my door and use my tablet or cell phone to show them how easy it is to find info on sexual abuse in their org.

Circuit Overseer wakes up, packs his bags and leaves!

by Anony Mous in

i just heard this about a co i knew back in the day before he was even a co. he must be in his mid-late 40's now, my mother told me the story as she knows the family very well (the entire family has gone 'apostate' including several elders, circuit overseers and missionaries - this was an "example" family, always on the stage etc).. he wasn't 'feeling well' so he took time off from his co duties.

that week he packed his suitcase, told his wife he can't do it anymore and he's leaving, leaves her the car and the house and went to live in a small apartment, bought a small car and a week later got a decent job.. this was very recent so not everybody within the org has heard yet what happened..

He's a hero, man!

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

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.

I love that Desmond Tutu quote. Beautiful.

The Watchtower is under siege from inside and outside

by suavojr in

jw

that is the reason the watchtower leaders are desperately trying to protect their indoctrinated supporters from being influenced by the critics.. it will get harder and harder to recruit in countries where the internet is easily accessible...the watchtower has no control over the public like it does the indoctrinated jws.

..any interested person can very easily google and learn the truth about the watchtower cult before a 'return visit' can be made.

although most jws would be afraid to go into 'apostate ' sites, more and more are waking up to the truth about the watchtower , their interest triggered by different reasons such as the child abuse cover up, the constantly changing doctrines,the downsizing etc.

We need to bring awareness about the Watchtower CORPORATION. The name JehovahsWitnesses is associated with a religion so to say, a group of good Christians, but we all know that it is only a DBA (doing business as) of the Watchtower Corporation. I have used this tactic with a lot of people and their thinking changes when I explain and show them the small print in their publications. I also refer to the FDS as the Board of Directors.

You are an unique being among 7 billion - never in the history of the universe or human story there was nor will be someone like you! When I think about this it makes me feel happy and worthy, despite my ups and downs during my life term, and likes and dislikes about this vessel of mine (body), i am happy to be alive and have to come into existence!

I now know that I a part of a whole, i am part of Creation and God or the Universe, or Divinity takes care of me, moreover, that Divinity has to take care of me becuase I am his creation - he is my Adonai! (I am speaking in very universal terms there ... lol). I now understand that I didn't ask to be born, I came into existence as part of this beatiful Universe and Creator God takes care of me as I see myself as one with Him and everything else in this universe.

Be aware/consious of yourself. Within you there is God power, there is a substance to build the empire of your dreams, you are here in this universe at the right time, you are a very much needed piece to complete this beautiful tapestry of humans. You are giving life, form to this forum for example, your thoughts, words are evoking emotions, thoughts, feelings in others that may change their lives and so on goes the chain ... you are a very special link.

Now, everyone that works contributes to a whole, from the janitor to cleans the office to the President of the company that leads us all with the vision - at the end in my line of business we can all say - I built that refinery, I built that toll-road, I built that bridge, I built that pipeline.

You are made for greatness I see it in what you have written. It is never too late to be what you might have become. I am 45 now, and I have accomplished so much in the past 5 years (time when the JW blindfold came of). I remember thinking that it was too late at the beginning, I cried a lot, felt like a victim, but then I got mad at the WTCorporation and everyone that dare to see me as less because I was not one of them anymore. I swore that CORPORATION was not going to take a SECOND of my life anymore. If you feel you're done, you are letting that CORPORATION control your life, steal your dreams, destroy your future, kill you.

Have Jehovahs Witnesses Changed the Bible to Fit Their Beliefs

by KSFernando in

no, we havent.

on the contrary, when we have discovered that our beliefs were not completely in line with the bible, we have changed our beliefs.. is this correct?.

introduction to the faith.

ive been a lurker for many years now, and recently created an account to post comments.

someone suggested i should introduce myself and tell my story.

Bella15

Welcome ...

you made me laugh with this ... " I was eventually blessed at the end of the convention to clean the restrooms."

An all too familiar story. I am glad that you were able to see beyond everything ...

I 100% relate to your comment "My faith was much stronger than any of the other children in the congregation, because I didn’t have to go to meetings or study the literature. I did those things out of my heart because I truly believed there was a caring God"
