You want to disrupt their Memorial? Do it by refusing to attend. Show by your not attending that you will have nothing to do with their satanic black mass ritual.

The "Paradise" as promised by the Watchtower

by Saethydd in

i was thinking today about the descriptions of the future "paradise" presented by the watchtower, and i was struck by something about it.

most of us are aware that the watchtower promotes an interpretation of the apocalypse that would result in the immediate execution of 99.9% of the population with no hope for resurrection.

additionally, we have been told about the large group of people that are supposed to side with satan at the end of the thousand year reign of christ.

Interesting subject, something I have thought about many times. Revelation says that those numbered and killed after the millennial reign would be "as sand on a seashore." So if that many AFTER the thousand years don't like their future prospect then how can anyone feel like they will indeed live forever in paradise? As you observed, one wicked, independent thought means swift destruction. Census numbers during such a period would be interesting to follow.

Follow up: the baby did not survive

it was always a long shot anyway.

but, after a week of emotional pain for the mom, and extreme physical pain for a helpless infant, the baby's body finally succumbed.. all those prayers from the parents, from family, from friends, were absolutely worthless.

that is a deity for ya!

Very sorry for your loss. There is no comforting a parent who has lost a child no matter their age. Sadly time doesn't really help either. We are approaching the two year mark of our daughter lost at 20 weeks with no explanation and all I can honestly say is you never forget. The saying: "Always on my mind, Forever in my heart" are the truest words ever spoken. Just be there for each other.

The paradise hope the JW's vomit out as comfort is nothing but an empty promise from an impotent nonexistent deity. Comfort and healing can come with friendship with those who have shared similar loss.

The Rainbow Promise

by Funchback in

one day, the biblical god decided all humanity, less 8 individuals and some animals, should die via mass drowning, including infants, children and physically and mentally disabled people.. he expected rational people to listen to a seemingly oddball old man and enter a giant box filled with wild animals.

"god told me to warn you.

enter this thing and you will live".

So I wonder if God will feel regrets after the other thousand years and want to take his promise back and start killing humans again? Clearly he enjoys watching humans suffer.

No mention of Jesus in all three days?

I can't wait for the breakdown videos from apostates. This might be the dumbest year of conventions yet.

These Watchtower articles make me wanna puke. Never does the wbts comment on how Jehovah deals with a group of children who make fun of a bald man, or how entire families were slaughtered for the disobedience of a few. Jehovah is always made to be so loving and kind, always there for his loyal ones. Yet we know him to be the psychotic murderer of millions/billions of men, women and children.

Welcome and thank you for sharing your story. Many here have had that pain of waking up and realizing how utterly wasteful those years as a JW were. The good news?!! You're awake and now you can start really living your life!!!

I would agree with other posters with regard to DA'ing. Don't give the Elders power over you. We had some elders come by a while back and all they care about is putting a label on you, whether it be "inactive" or "depressed". Don't let them think that they are still in control of your life. They are nothing but helpless victims of religion.

I hope that the time will come when your family will also wake up. In the mean time, try reconnecting with non-witness family members. We did and now we are very close to both sides of the family again.

Also have an open mind to try new things. Find some time to volunteer, do yoga or take up an instrument. Find things that bring you joy. The wife and I do quite a bit of volunteering and we have made many new friends doing so. You'll see that non-witness people are not so scary and they won't judge you based on meeting attendance or how many hours you waste in failed misery.

Not to be morbid, but as a JW we knew there was a chance we would die before Armageddon came, and we knew that upon death there is no thought or pain. That hasn't changed. Death isn't something to be afraid of, unless you live a life of regret. So go live your life! There's nothing to be afraid of. Try new things. Drink and be merry. Drive fast and take a few chances. Don't come to the end and wish you had done this or that. Just go do them now while you still can.
