Trouble in paradise!

by Confusedalot in

just for fun, some thoughts about the paradise teaching:.

will all the carnivores be transformed anatomically?

if a lion is transformed into a herbivore would it still be a lion?

Normalfulla

Totally frustrated by the term " it won't matter we'll have forever to do it or get there "

24 hrs in a day , think back to frontier living , life was hard yakka working to survive the coming winter etc so the stupid fantasy that jw have that this world as we know it with infrastructure and produce will still exist but they will be on 1 giant holiday is so primitive in its conception

As sir82 said

Raw materials for building ? Communication services? Air travel ? Waste treatment, food production? Duh the utopia every jw dreams of is exactly that. .. a dream

Oh this stoopid shunning thing!!

by Unstuck in

warning - vent ahead....... so, my father (still very much in jw but who has at least had the decency to still keep in contact with me and hubby and to show interest in why we aren't attending and respect where we are at) is in intensive care at a local hospital and is intubated and sedated with some serious health issues.

i'm next of kin so i get all the phone calls from the hospital.. so, the rest of the "family" has cut me off because we are inactive and because the ever-active jw gossip grapevine has rumoured with a sibilant slithy hissy voice: "apossstassssy" is the cause of our inactivity.. whatever.. but now i've had to contact said "family" with the news about my father and what is going on....... so, dad's sisters answer my calls and manage to act and conduct themselves with a degree of decorum.. my sister on the other hand - well, she doesn't deign to answer my calls and texts for most of the day.

i push the issue tonight and insist on speaking to her when my brother-in-law answers the call.

I seriously believe I'd be treated better if I robbed a bank at gunpoint than disagreeing with the gb, the apostate label has got to be the equivalent of white walkers in the jw world

I love heavy metal!!!

by ironsnake656 in

probably you noticed that my avatar is a photo of steve harris, bassist of iron maiden.

i have quite a few years that i started to listen this kind of music, even when i was in the jwland.

although it was a "no-no" in the borders of jwland, i knew a lot of brothers and sisters that listened and loved this kind of music.

Normalfulla

I love and play heavy music ,not really heavy in my opinion but for most old school jw it's the Devils music , being in a band attracted unwanted criticism from elders who frowned on our style and was told to just give it up and concentrate on serving jehovah after all you can play all the music u want in the new system!

F off

Rock on

Maiden, metallica ,gnr, all cool old skool metal , ....breaking benjamin, tool,dream theater ,seether... so many

If u like 8 string guitars check out heavy metal ninjas they are awesome (instrumental)

Born Ins, How Did Your Parents Get "The Truth™"?

by pale.emperor in

born ins are in a unique position in that we never knew any other way of life.

no birthdays, christmas and overly superstitious family just seemed normal.

when my parents talked about their pre-jw life it seemed like they were talking about completely different people (actually, that's true, the cult had taken their real selves).. so i'd be interested in hearing how your parents were indoctrinated.. my dad.

Normalfulla

My dad emigrated from UK at 18 ,first stop Australia, lonely , vunerable young man in a strange country , WA LA becomes a jw and gets into pioneering

he never convinces his parents to follow jw after they emigrated also , end up in nz where my mother grew up in an abusive household that were kinda jw , her parents get baptized pre 1975 and are all strict and zealous then 75 comes and goes and they smell a rat so they slowly fade but mum meets dad and she's 19 and wants to marry this pioneer and parents say no (in those days u need consent for marriage until 21)

So they are so horny and desperate so they take them to court ( issues there with taking a brother to court) elders meetings galore and the judge rules in their favor and the rest is history

My dear old dad is still so stupidly brainwashed, only trusts info from jw.org but my mum is not the zealous elders wife she once was ,I think realizing the fact they will die in this system

A Short Life Story - Part 2

by pale.emperor in

jw
friends

part 1 in here: https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5961287718666240/short-life-story-part-1.

so im 19, i decided to shut up and put all my doubts about god even existing to the back of my mind and just go along with it.

im sure things will be explained eventually, all i need is to humble myself and do more in "the truth" right?.

Normalfulla

Bro .... I have to say I'm thoroughly enjoying yr well written bio so far ,as a side point I'm from new Zealand and have a scouse who works for me and have become fond of the accent etc , there's something intrinsically stirring about reading other born ins stories especially when they are written and described this well , ....they do do dat do don't de ;-)

The craziness of Christianity

by Normalfulla in

so i was reading thru a fb feed about poor chester bennington and in relation chris cornell, there were some rather heated and unusual (or usual whatever you may think ) comments... no disrespect to believers but since leaving the jws i just see this type of discussion as lunacy.

... "chester is going to hell ,he killed himself so it's black and white in god's word ."..

"why would a loving god send a person who suffers from mental illness to hell?

Normalfulla

Amen Emperor !, could have been any guy that fit the description, albeit most likely with a beard , of course had nothing to do with her subconscious and what she wanted to believe or her hallucinating oxygen starved brain

"Chester is going to hell ,he killed himself so it's black and white in God's word .".

"Why would a loving god send a person who suffers from mental illness to hell? No he's with God in his grace now .".

"No he's definitely going to hell "

One lady comments

My Aunt died and was bought back by paramedics and when she died she said she saw her husband who had killed himself sitting across from jesus so you can trust me that chester is in heaven

There was heaps more of this type of speculation in which I pitied the people engaging in the debate as there was no actual answer that can be proven and all it was doing was upsetting people and exposing the beliefs as absolutely ridiculous

I currently feel sorry for the humans trapped within the god delusion

Is there any humor in the bible?

by Normalfulla in

humor plays a big part in a lot of humanity and we all like a good laugh but as far as i'm aware god's supposed word has no actual humor ,of course apart from being a joke itself ,why wasn't there a passage or something like "jesus farted and giggles broke out among them " or something, is anyone aware of any notations of humor ?

all to.serious really.
