  Why would anyone choose to support Jehovah’s Witnesses?

  what is the point of supporting a belief which began as a bronze age ox-headed idol called yahweh... in a religion designed for illiterate peasants now appropriated by a money-driven cult with a one hundred and forty six year unbroken record of total failure of its bible based predictions?.

  @ DY I see what your getting at but don't you feel in the slightest that you lying to yourself or maybe not living the way you'd actually Want to live?

  It just seems like such a hard thing to stick with something that you know is wrong!!

  I was away from meetings for a month and I was really feeling happy again, then my wife bucked a bit and so we went to two meetings in a row. The depression kicked back in and all the anger came rushing back. I hate that so many people are being mislead. It really pisses me off!!

  I told her the other day that going to those meetings brought the depression back. She didn't know what to say.

  You must be a mighty strong person mentally to be able to find good in something inherently evil.

  jhine you make an excellent point. It's perfectly fine to stick to wtbts teachings..... if you don't ever want to think freely.

  They are creating a zombie race. Seriously people need to stop waiting for the zombie apocalypse. It's already here and the zombies are Jehovah's Witnesses!!

  I think the main drive for being a Jehovah is you can save a ton of money on Christmas presents every year.

  Its really kinda sad seeing people at the hall. All the failed promises and yet they cling on, hoping that their day will come. People are so depressed now that if the big A don't come soon we are going to see more suicides in the Borg or hopefully a mass exodus.

  Quality of JW teaching from elders

  by sir82 in

  there was a recent thread on the "quality" of converts to jws in recent years.

  it wasn't a pretty picture, based on the thread contents.. well, the lack of depth isn't restricted to new converts.. in our clam this week, one of the principal points for review was this:.

  ne 1:1; 2:1—why can we conclude that “the 20thyear” mentioned at nehemiah 1:1 and 2:1 is countedfrom the same starting point?

  What really was the point of that question? Why did they deem that question worthy of a review? Who cares if Neh1:1 and 2:1 are talking about the same calendar year? Is there something I'm missing?

  Met the new CO (correction officer) this week

  just want to share my take on the new circuit overseers visit.

  first impression, he's a control freak.

  he got up several times to correct the servants on lights, sound and speaker stand positioning.

  The last time we met with the C.O. with the other elders he proceeded to chastise us on having phone numbers along with the door to door territories.

  We had a co a few years back who said to do that in order to reach more people. So we would go door to door, then phone those we couldn't reach with the death dealing message.

  The current co said that was no good that door to door should not have phone numbers. So now last I checked since I haven't been out in service for months, they are back to getting 1% of people home with no hope of getting the other 99%.

  Actually it's good for them, bad for the dubbie dubbies.

  The shackles of personal choice.

  2. experiences

  one of the things that woke me up was a post on this board about a person who spliced a portion of the song "no god's, no masters" by arch enemy into a kingdom song at their hall.

  this small bit opened up a world long forgotten from my youth.. before becoming a witness i was huge into death metal and some heavy metal ( loved metalica until they sold out with their black album) and as we know the wts forbids us to have freedom of choice when it comes to music, movies and many other things.

  so now i full on love me some good old metal again!!

  Not having the guilt that comes with personal choice makes it all the better!

  So I was wondering, upon the removal of your shackles of personal choice, what things did you start doing? What music do you enjoy or what movies do you like now? What activities do you enjoy now that your conscience has seen that these matters of personal choice make us individually who we are?

  Oh my!!! This has to be the most shameless attempt at getting money out of people in all the world. Why do they keep mentioning children giving to the Borg? It's so despicable. How much money does an invisible deity need?
