What did being a JW teach you?

by punkofnice in

these are some of the things the wbt$ 'taught' me:.

dishonesty is fine if it's to trick people into joining the cult.. if your spouse stops believeing, the best thing you can do is break up the family.. the laws of the governing body overrule any other laws...or else!.

my friends are conditional.. avoid loving people, they'll only let you down or get df'd.. unintelligent dumbos are better than intelligent ones if the dumbos are elders or above.. hate is better than love.. i am not good enough and god will probably enjoy killing me.. demons will appear in my room at night.. ignore practicallity if being practical or loving prevents the leaders getting money or praise.. god hates.

When I first left the cult I believed that one good thing they had taught me was Public Speaking skills. I then came to realise that the Theo. School actually did not teach those skills in a meaningful way.

YOU ARE SO SO RIGHT!

The school is amazingly basic - and as results prove - teaches no one anything about public speaking - outside of possibly loosing the fear.

I became a very very good writer and speaker, and not because of what was in that School Guide book, but because of countless hrs getting training from other resources, and then lots of practice.

Following the Guide Book will actually make you a bad speaker, as is testified by the large majority of elders who give public talks that are so bad they would not be acceptable in any other forum.

God Made Eve From Adam’s Penis, Not His Rib, Academic Claims

by OrphanCrow in

there are days that i drop to the ground and kiss the earth in gratitude that i was born a woman.

at least women didn't have anything to do with writing the bibble.

and women don't come up with this nonsense.

Anyone who wants to make sense of the bible, is better off living their life by the guidelines found in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
How stupid can you get.

ultimatum stop the practice of shunning or lose your charity status.

by joe134cd in

just curious what would wt do if a government said reform your policy on shunning or you will lose your charity status.

we will also be monitoring your reforms and there will be consequences if not brought up to our standards.

ttdtt

It would be an unenforceable law. Members already pre-shun people who don't live up to the "standard". We already have tons of statements about, "not everyone in the hall is good association". Even a legal edict would not make a major change unless the GB wanted to revers the policy for the good of everyone. And that would NEVER happen for a few reasons.

1st - it would tell people, we have been wrong and cruel all these years, and don't listen to us any more.

2. People would stop coming to meetings and going out in service.

DFing is the BIG HAMMER they have over everyones head. That gone, the Cult Falls!

You forgot - Sex is bad. Sexual thoughts are bad. Pleasure is Bad. Loving someone is not always good. Thinking is bad. School is bad.

2: Gay rights will continue to progress, and it will be a sign of how close we are to the end.

3: JW atrocities will come to light by the Satan Controlled media, and it will be a sign of how close we are to the end.

4: Scientific progress will continue to move to solutions to health and world problems, and it will be a sign of how close we are to the end. (since they dont put their eggs in gods kingdom)

Reasons for Stagnation in Growth. AKA YearBook Numbers!

by ttdtt in

so why has the growth flatlined?

why is less time spent in the ministry?

why have aux pios droped by 1/3rd?.

They just df a 14 year old girl last week at my hall.

THATS INSANE! GET BAPTIZED WHEN YOUR YOUNG IS CRAZY!! I HATE TONY MORRIS!
It has been 100% established that until the human brain finishes development, what we see as Teen High Risk behavior is just going to happen. No amount of praying or meetings will change the way a teen brain works.Though teens understand the risk involved with some action (like sex) as an adult would, their thinking of the reward is way way higher than and adult. Thats one of the reasons kids do stuff that doesn't make sense.Its like condemning someone who is 5ft for not being able to Dunk a Basketball!!
So if god is suposed to help you to not be tempted beyond what you can handle, why are so many being DFed?
Is he taking a break? Where was he for this girl?
Oh I see - if you dont sin - god helped you - if you do sin - you didn't let god help you.
I HATE THIS ORGANIZATION!!!! CULT!

It is really really hard to dispute these points, isn't it? Numbers don't lie, and the other points are hard to avoid.

2014 - 100 years of "kingdom rule". Many were in expectation for something big to happen

We had drummed into us before the BIG CONVENTION that this was going to be the most important event of our lives (guess baptism, marriage, first kid, didnt cut the mustard). And we spend countless hrs making tchotchke to give away to the international visitors. Then It came and went. HMMM my life didn't change much, did yours? Did anyones? The HISTORIC event was just like the conventions when we went to stadiums, just with more people.

We also had the NEW BIBLE! THE GAME CHANGER! Did anything change? No. The cry wolf effect has kicked in I think.

P.S. The tactic of we have to keep the R&F busy all the time with new crap so they don't notice 2014 has come and gone, is not working for everyone apparently.
