  Welcome to the MADHOUSE! The incredible rot of Watch Tower folly!

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  from 1968 to mid 1975 jehovah's witness books, magazines and public sermons stretched the truth, quoted out of context cherry-picked secular scientists and social critics' words to assure every reader/listener history was closing in fast!

  millions of people worldwide were put on high alert!.

  when the non-event passed with only an embarassing silence, the purpose of the watchtower faltered, sputtered and almost died, but only momentarily.. like a veteran boxer knocked to the floor for a 9 count, things in the local kingdom halls shifted into "downtime" as policies relaxed until the men at the top of the jw foodchain could find their legs again.. ridicule, humiliation and a demand for explanations became an avalanche piling up in the local kingdom hall.. this was the moment of truth for "the truth".. it was now or never.. would this religion look itself in the mirror and see wrong-headedness and self-delusion?.

  The GENERATION explanation is now a BOLD FACE LIE

  by scotoma in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i first heard about the new "generation" explanation i was confused because i didn't see clearly how they were explaining it.. now it looks like they finally figured it out for themselves and it is no longer confusing.. it is now a simple, ignorant, bold face lie.. this is from the january 1st watchtower.

  (and i hope to hell someone from writing gets wind of this).

  paragraph 15 page 31 blue stands for the exact words in the watchtower.

  Thanks scotoma!
  
  This whole 'new light' thing is turning into a bad overused joke! But the R&F are not laughing... they don't get it.
  They are mind-controlled to not get it. Wow.... just wow...

  Looks like we have similar stories whathappened...I just came out right here a few hours ago... took off my mask! Liberating.
  As for Stand for Pure Worship, he/she DOES look like something from Poe's Law. Who knows?...
  What is certain, is that SFPW is not JW enough to obey the WTS on hanging around apostates! A Troll maybe?

  Yes OTWO, I totally hear you. We must be careful. I was myself... took years to finally come out.
  Also, you still stand at a very important vantage point. You can help many be seeing first had what goes on.
  Once out, our connections are limited — so it must be done only when we are ready for it.
  
  I will say this; it's liberating.

  I need to attend to my deadlines, but later I will offer some details on how I managed to fade, what questions I asked the elders, who reacted how, etc...
  Many of you will relate to the details.
  
  In the meantime, being prudent is the main thing. Once you're out, you need to be ready for a backlash; and I'm ready.
  Before that, it is wise to stay discreet. Everyone's story is different. Everyone's story can encourage others.
  
  Also,I'm open to questions, so go for it.
