  thanks to the australian royal commission our youngest son has woke up.

  we received a e-mail from him tonight where he apologized to us for shunning us all these years, how bad he felt for doing this.

  That was amazing, thank you for sharing! Gave me chills.

  But can anyone please elaborate on what he meant by CTR's biography being a lie? I have not heard of this in my research?

  you know when you are in a deep sleep and something happens that may put you on a different level of sleeping, not as deep.

  anyway, then i thought, 90 minutes for lunch?

  so, there is a group waiting to cross the street.

  Watching a member of the GB lie and mislead the audience with his answers at the ARC. I think he has and will continue to help many start to wake up.

  someone on jwtalk has shared their convention notes (for those interested in a jw perspective).

  jehovah’s people will experience hardships, so reliance on god is paramount!.

  prayer is essential and vital for our spiritual well-being.

  So what would "Perfect Life" REALLY be like?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  i wonder sometimes just how jws try and comprehend what perfect life would really be like if "adam and eve" had not sinned?.

  how would we live?

  what would the realities be like?

  Imagine my dismay when it was explained to me that the term meant spiritual "perfection".
  

  Wait, what? You mean I wont be a supermodel in Paradise that can breathe underwater, ride sharks and possibly fly??

  What is the most troubling or disturbing biblical passage you ever had to rationalise when a Jw?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  now that we have stepped away from the jw faith, how do you feel about the bible itself?.

  what about those awkward sections of scripture?

  how did you rationalise or justify those sections?.

  @pleasereasearch - Ezekiel chapter 23. The entire chapter is disgusting. 20 There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses

  Who talks like that?? Definitely written by dirty minded perverts.

  The urban legends we heard as JWs!

  2. experiences

  how often have we heard some sort of sensationalist urban legend as jws?.

  here is an example i was told as a kid:.

  the experience of a sister who knocked on a door and was greeted by a big fierce looking man- intimidating and mean.

  Book of Revelation

  by Whynot in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one of the things that really bothered me is how most of the book of revelation isn't understood by most jws.

  most of the trumpets were already sounded many decades ago, is that still right?

  it seems like most jws just look the other way.

  I was just thinking about this book yesterday.

  My spouse is adamant that new scrolls will be open in 'the new system' because of the content in Revelation. He is PIMI. I am POMO.

  Whoever wrote this book was definitely high on something. And 'evidently' it was almost not canonized.

  What everyone else has posted, especially @Whynot said. Those stories made me sick to my stomach as a 12/13 year old. (even now its disturbing)

  Also having to marry your rapist. (if he chooses).

  @stuck, are you from Cali? I heard that exact rumor all my life growing up!

  How about the Smurfs being demonic and how one actually walked out of the kingdom hall? so silly now that im not an impressionable young child.

  Vidiot, i agree with you! Makes no sense. wouldn't it have been more strategically sound - from their POV - to stop bothering the guy after he'd gone into the "wrong" church (i.e. before he'd gotten to a Kingdom Hall)
