  How many would leave the organization right now if the shunning rule was removed?

  by HiddenPimo in

  dream scenario: everyone is made aware of all the wrongs, the false prophecies / csa problem / double standards - .

  and they would not shun, how many would jump ship?.

  my parents are fully aware of the sins of the org.

  My Magic-8 Ball says, "...about 112%, give or take."

  i am head over heels in love with a man who was raised jw.

  i believe he is fighting demons, however, and is torn between what his heart wants to do, his beliefs, his depression & lack of self confidence.

  he has had 2 wives.

  Hobbittz, mark this day on your calendar as the day you ruined your life.

  Congratulations!

  The GOOD THING about this is that _I_ will beable to drive past the trainwreck you will soon find entangling you and _I_ will be able to think, "WOW! I'm glad that isn't me!"

  So YOU GO GIRL!

  do you think he’s a hero?

  do you sympathize with him or do you feel he’s really a bad guy?.

  It has been suggested by some of Julian's associates that Julian adopted the cat to enhance Julian's public image and the people in the embassy have said that the cat was not well cared-for and was moved out of the embassy about a year ago. The embassy sad,"We're not a pet store."

  By most accounts, Julian wore out his welcome in the Embassy pretty thoroughly.

  If you find yourself with feelings for a Deity, try practicing sublimation; drink hrb tea and spend more time in service, take cold showers.

  Oh, you said

  "feelings of a Deity."

  Nevermind!

  Remember the fifteen witness rule: unless everyone in Lebanon saw the offense and has it on film, it don't count and the Branch Office will advise that you not bother them. If it is a serious offense like murder or mutual masturbation, YOU will be set on fire in the Public Square, then the WTB&TS will find that there is no accuser and the offender will be consoled for the ordeal they endured with faithfulness like unto Daniel in the belly of Jonah in the belly of a whale riding on a giant turtle under a tangerine sky.

  If there is no Public Square, one will be built for you, then sold for a profit to the Church of Scientology.

  Always remember that The Universal Architect and Creator of All Things is an emotional being with feelings as delicate as a May-fly, and will pitch one Hell of a Shit-Fit if you don't think of Him constantly!

  Should some people actually be Witnesses?

  by Apognophos in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it seems to me like certain people actually benefit from joining the religion.

  primarily i'm thinking of ones with drug problems who are only able to quit because they are working towards baptism.

  another example would be those who are always getting in fights or who have a big ego, and who learn to be pacifistic and humble as a witness.

  Hah!

  ...reminds me of an old Jewish saying; "If everyone went to college, who would clean the fish?"

  So SURE, because clothing stores will always need mannequins!

  not sure if this topic has being covered recently.. my son asked me a question if the jw's have in the recent months being pushing a new end date to the system?

  he was telling me about how his mother has being on him again about the urgency of the end of this system of things and he needs to do something asap.

  i told him i am not aware of any new dates as i have being away from the cult for over 20 years.

  Ah, yes, Waton, but I have a golden type- and antitype- in my service bag!

  Would you like to gaze upon it? Here...

  See? The chart shows how the WTB&TS first predicted the resurrection of "ancient worthies" in 1925 then... see the arching arrow that points to 1975? See? It's all there in black-and-white, Man! Just like The Beatles' album!
