  never a JW

  Dude it may have been pretty obvious I was using general figures, not to the penny?
  I think the logic is pretty simple too.
  Cut me a little slack?

  Plus

  Many women intend to get pregnant. Each year an estimated 123 million succeed. But a substantial additional number of women – around 87 million – become pregnant unintentionally. For some women and their partners this may be a pleasant surprise, but for others the pregnancy may be mistimed or simply unwanted ( 77 ). Of the estimated 211 million pregnancies that occur each year, about 46 million end in induced abortion (see Figure 3.2)

  There goes the WT with a brush as wide as the Earth.

  Your a JW or your a Evil person. So why are they so upset about all the evil people doing evil things to other evil people?
  
  Dont worry - goD will show them. Kill them all - including 50 million unborn babies (isnt that abortion?) and 150 Million babies under 1 year old.

  Now thats loving god!!!
  

  I like this part:)

  After it is carried out, every thinking creature in the universe will heartily agree that justice was done. The relief will be immense!

  Yea i guess since you KILLED all the people who would object!
  What a Relief when 7.2 billion people are at your feet dead!
  
  Paradise!!!!!

  Where do I go now?

  by Libby in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i thought my purpose was to serve jehovah and get baptised.

  where do i go now to get baptised?

  is baptism even a requirement for serving god or was that just for the disciples and people of that time.

  No i never felt the HS - I did feel great about really motivating or comforting people when I gave talks or parts. I was really good at it.

  Currently I dont feel there is any reason to believe in a deity.

  Yea purpose - who the F knows. Biggest lost after the years you cant get back.

  Wanting Less Involvement (long newbie story)

  by DepthsResounding in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was raised a jw and am currently pioneer in a foreign language congregation.

  i have been unhappy on and off with my involvement in this religion and am ready to step back again.

  growing up i was always active but extremely reserved and a low hour publisher.

  Thanks for telling your story. Of course its a very familiar to so many of us.

  I loved what you said here - it is SO TRUE! I know I did and so many others did. Makes it easy to follow the path of least resistance with that thought that the New System is around the corner anyway so your not loosing out.

  Sometimes I think I used this religion as an excuse to fail.

  As for your other strategy:
  DONT DONT just marry someone who is weak. Please find someone you love for real (outside the org)!
  You will take the chance that he is not who you want really and that he may at somepoint want to be Strong in the Truth in the future - then your screwed.

  Speaking of that. Start having sex as much and as often as you can (safely) - you will NEVER get these years back!!!!!!!
  You can live a double life without getting caught if you are smart. Really you will regret it so much when you are older. If you already have regrets about it now, imagine what it will feel like when your 50.

  If you marry out of the "Troof" to someone you love, it can be a good way to FADE.

  KEEP THIS IN MIND! Someday you will have kids, you dont want ANY chance of them getting in the CULT!!!!!!

  Its all so painful to look back on isn't it.

  All that crap seemed to be driven in part out of following the rules and in part to make yourself feel more righteous that the "others"

  Very very sad to say - to shun DFed relatives in talks I gave.

  I am so embarrassed and mortified I did that.

  Yes I bow down to Captain Picard every night.
  When I have a poster, I just must worship it all the time.

  Satan is so tricky.

  Wow that would be a long list.

  How about a CO who said Start Trek wasn't for christians because they Distort into something ugly the human body. (funny he should have looked in a mirror:)
  
  I guess Klingons made fun of gods wonderful creation.

  But its not a cult I assure you:)

  Jehovahs Witness organization were never approved by Jesus Christ in 1919

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  according to jehovahs witness beliefs/doctrines , dont they acknowledge that the international bible students association , ibsa , were the ones with charles taze russell as the president as being the organization that jesus christ appointed over all his belongings and nominated them as the one true religion to dispense food at the proper time ?.

  when joseph f rutherford took over the organization contrary to charles taze russells instructions regarding a successor did that negate the appointment that jesus christ gave ?

  i think so .how about you.. and then changing the name that jesus christ gave his blessing to the ibsa for jehovahs witnesses under j.f.rutherford to change that name which was pre-christian and has no basis in the new testament which is all about witnessing acknowledgeing and highlighting the name of jesus above every other name as is stated time and time again in the christian greek scriptures,.

  By that time the Big JC was suposed to have identified the FDS.

  Well the big 7 just figured out they were it the other year.
