  Are people free to leaving the Witnesses, and shunning.

  by ThomasCovenant in

  is it true, as bro jackson testified to the australian royal commission, that people can leave the religion freely?.

  in my own case, yes.

  i just stopped going and was never announced as ''no longer one of jw's''.

  It is NOT FREE when you will lose many relationships because of their rules for DFed and also those who fade.

  Witnesses' Moral Apathy

  by konceptual99 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one of the hardest things for me to learn about myself as i have mentally exited "da troof" is that i have a weak moral compass and i think this is common to many witnesses.

  i mean that as i have allowed less and less of my thinking to be framed by witness doctrine, i have had to start thinking for myself about how i feel about certain things.

  for example, what do i feel about war, freedom of speech for extremists, charitable works, political views, animal welfare and much, much more.. this was underlined this weekend when i attended the circuit assembly (approx 900 attendees, 3 baptised - 2 born ins btw) where the bethel speaker said that witnesses have booked their ticket out of this system and don't have to worry about the wars and famines of this world because they know it's all going to pass with the new system.. in another thread it's been mentioned that the wts is failing to mention other groups being marginalised and persecuted in russia alongside witnesses.. as a witness i never realised the extent to which i was blind to the moral dilemmas that most other people have to think about, educate themselves on and come to a point of view about.

  don't have to worry about the wars and famines of this world because they know it's all going to pass with the New System.

  Really? Then why is there a Writing Campaign to Russia right now?
  Sounds like there is a LITTLE BIT of worry?

  MORE Hypocrisy!

  Oh and by the way - if if you are totally Galant - you will worry if your KIDS are affected by WAR and FAMINE.

  CULT BS CRAP!

  I feel like all you.

  Bad enough you know death is the end.
  WORSE is that you gave a giant chunk of it to a pointless mission.

  We are like the 20 year old guy who wakes up out of a coma to realize he is an old man now.

  Atheism = self defeating.

  by towerwatchman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  atheism = self defeating.

  first may we define our terms.

  the word atheism comes literally from the greek, alpha the negative and theos [for god], therefore “negative god” or there is no god.

  Did the serpent have legs before the curse?

  by Acluetofindtheuser in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  genesis 3:14 – “then jehovah god said to the serpent: “because you have done this, you are the cursed one out of all the domestic animals and out of all the wild animals of the field.

  on your belly you will go, and you will eat dust all the days of your life.”.

  the old gb and gb 2.0 differ on this matter.

  Blondie - i have been talking for years we need to include more vagina and penis pictures in the WT lit!
  Imagine how much more success we would have had placing magazines!

  Service would have rocked! Plus all the "benefits" teen JW boys would have had "studying" the lit at least 3 times a day:)

  towerwatchman

  I guess you are the one who believes in an all powerful god who created everyone then didn't bother to give one ounce of irrefutable proof of his existence.

  I believe the ball is in the court of the god believers to prove his existence, just as it would be up to me to prove in my undying belief in leprechauns

  Why is sex a taboo subject to be discussed about?

  by googleTTATT in

  people are having it very well.

  so why is it not discussed?.

  Only 1 reason. Religion.

  From the beginning religion held the female reproductive system as the entire worth of a female.
  A few religions lifted the value of a woman because of the ability to create life.
  Those religions are usual considered pagan.

  Judeo-Christian and islam though took a different view. Since women were literally weak, and until now the World was RUN by Muscle, women were no more than property, and their value was in there vagina.

  In all these cultures the transfer of wealth and power and a name from one generation to the next depended in Male children being born, and an CLEAR linage with it.
  

  Because of the the Virginity of a female was ultra important.
  Because of the - constant child birth was important.
  Because of that, keeping your Possession (your woman) under thumb was needed.

  Religion codified the suppression of woman and with this the suppression of Natural Sexuality.
  Religion created a social structure where SEX was bad and only (semi)OK in marriage.

  With that came the Dirt-if-ication of sex. Thats the only way to keep people in line with the way sex should be used.
  Think of some of the words we use. Someone who has not had sex is - "pure" - or "innocent".

  Think of the words we use for a woman how enjoys sex especially out of wedlock.
  How many of those words are there compared to those for men who are sexual?

  Religion took sex from being as normal and natural as eating - to being this EVIL Dirty thing that got you sent ot hell or had you stoned.

  I could go on and on...
