  Why JW's Rave So Much About Conventions

  by freemindfade in

  "it was so beautiful, we are truly blessed!

  now, they also plaster these affirmations all over social media, "this is the best life", “so blessed”, “best convention”.. why the gushing?

  have you ever heard anyone say, “mmmm it was ok”?

  It took me years to figure out the warm wonderful feeling I had after a convention was really relief that it was over!

  What a great story!

  I remember that movie "Billy Jack" as a young impressionable kid. I thought he was awesome...a real hero!

  "Listen, children, to a story

  That was written long ago,
  'Bout a kingdom on a mountain
  And the valley-folk below."

  Part One of what could be a long introduction

  hello - let me try to explain.

  a couple of months ago or so i joined this forum, then shortly after checked out jwrecovery which seemed a better fit personally and joined them.

  started to feel comfortable there and they closed, and i pouted for a while.

  Hi Savan,

  You have come to a good place. Extremely nice people here and lots of support of the kind that isnt conditional like it is in the Organization.

  Glad you are here!

  redpilltwice maybe we will reach some widely accepted hybrid form some day, but hey, for now my healing lady saved me some paracetamol/acetaminophen.

  
  

  And your liver will stay healthy too! Good job redpill!

  
  

  I heard a stat recently that something like one seventh of the worlds population takes over 80% of the worlds pharmaceuticals.

  
  

  Thats some crazy numbers there!

  It won’t be much longer now.

  a couple weeks back my husband got a phone call from his brother, whom he hasn’t spoken to in nearly 17 years.

  well i take that back, he did speak to him at the family reunion, asking him to leave.

  my husband basically told him to f off, he would leave when he’s darn good and ready, but he didn’t use the word darn.

  Happiness and a well lived life are the best revenge.

  If you and your husband have a good marriage (and it sounds like you do) then get a good nights rest and arrive at the Kingdom Hall for the service looking glowing and contented.

  You and all of us here know your sister is not happy. No Witnesses are happy unless they are happy for some peripheral reason other than being a JW.

  Shes miserable - youre happy. A picture worth a thousand words right there!

  Did Geoffrey Jackson Actually Reject His Faith During the ARC Hearing?

  by xjwsrock in

  2. beliefs

  as portrayed in the convention videos this year about sergei (the fictional jw character in cold-war-era ussr), the jw leaders expect loyalty, even enduring imprisonment and/or death.

  in one scene sergei was offered an early release from prison if he would sign a statement renouncing his religion.

  well he refused and spent 5 years in prison as a result.

  I remember reading a thread here on his wordage "Guardians Of the Doctrine".

  It sounded so modern and "worldly and Harry Potter-ish when he said it, it didnt even sound like JW speak.

  Turns out it was first uttered by the pope a few years ago,
