...the last refuge of an indefensible mind -control cult is to scream "Don't listen to THEM!"
REAL truth can stand up to examination.

Crap....help please
by DS211 inso tonight my wife looked iver the wt for tomorrow.
she said what she got out of it was that apostates are negative murmurers who can cause you to question jehovah and his earthly org and that it reminded her of the negativity caused when i told her i read ray franz's book.
she said it caused me to question service, family worship night, and praying together.

rhetorical Q.: J ust how stupid are jehovahs witnesses?
A.: You admitted to being a JW, so how stupid are YOU?
Almost everyone here was once a JW... how stupid was I?
I'm going to try to make a General Plea for Slack. Let's remember that when we make a sweeping statement like "JWs are stupid" we are including our former selves, some people we once loved, and the previous incarnation of some of our present friends. Many people who join the Witneses do so not because of stupidity, but because of FEAR, and admit it, this planet can be a very scary place sometimes. So a soft-spoken colporteur shows up one day when we are especially vulnerable and tells us that SkyDaddy is going to make it all better, and that SkyDaddy is going the raise Dear Old Uncle Ted from the dead, and manna and Coca-Cola will miraculously appear just before you knew you wanted it... such a sweet, desirable dream... so before you know what has happened you are going to the Kingdom Hall for five meetings a week and you have convinced yourself that your dearest Aunt, who you love so much, is an agent of Satan... Your goal becomes to "endure to the end" so that you can be SAVED. It's not stupid to want to be SAVED - that desire is the PRIME DIRECTIVE of our DNA.
We were LIED to. So were they. They are no more stupid than you and I were. It's a pity.

Elisaporquien said, " Okay I know that there are people who began careers in Medicine, Law, etc. then LATER got into the truth. I know that pursuing a higher education is not forbidden but a personal choice. Is there anyone out there, reading this, that grew up in the truth and pursued a career in medicine (and remained in the truth)? What was the experience like (both med school and residency)? I'm not a Jehovah's Witness but my mom and my sister are and I believe in no blood. "
You are now in the company of XJWs. We don't use the Watchtower catch-phrase "the Truth™" because Watchtower dogma has nothing to do with objective, observabe truth. We don't impugn truth by associating the word with the Watchtower. Call it "the Truth" around your Mom and Sis if you must, but don't expect us to get warm & fuzzy when you use that cult lingo here.
...and if you really are not a JW as you say, WHY o why would you call it "the truth"? Is that just a bad habit you picked up, or do you really believe it is "the truth"? If you do, get thee to a Kingdom Hall!
You say that higher education is a "personal choice." Yeah, if you don't mind being labeled as "spiritually weak" and constantly harrassed from all sides because of your "choice", then yeah, sure it's a "choice" viewed in the same way that your "choice" to use heroin would be.
So, you're not a JW but you believe in "no blood." Are you an Israelite? Are you a member of The Society For Creative Anachronism trying to get a post-diluvian gig going? Do you accept blood fractions in the way JWs do, or are you an absolutist on the issue?

2014 Year Text "Let Your Kingdom Come"
by scotoma inguy pierece mentioned the years text as let your kingdom come and then dropped the line "it's been 100 years since the kingdom was established in the heavens".. that was it.
wouldn't the 2013 corp meeting be the appropriate time to be discussing that milestone - instead of waiting til 2014 is 3/4 over next october.. obviously they don't want to dwell on the 100 years because it really puts the old light about the generation in a "bad light".
doesn't a centennial deserve a proper celebration?.
