  Today's watchtower: obey us, no matter what

  by Tornintwo in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  today's watchtower:.

  obey us, obey us even when it seems strange, obeying our man made hierarchy equates to obeying god, sacrifice your own interests, work for us, don't be independent, put your own interests aside, obey some more, preach for us, build for us, enjoy it, obey some more, forgive when we are jerks to you and mistreat you, accept your changed assignment even if it seems cruel and doesn't make sense, don't complain if we move you (eg.

  ) because you might have to move in the new world, remember you are being trained to obey, remember to put your own interests aside, that's the way we are designed to live - it will only make you happy!

  Did an EX-JW wake you up to TTATT or did you put the effort to wake up yourself?

  by John Aquila in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  how many of us were woken up by some apostate yelling false prophets at a convention?.

  how many of us were woken up by someone holding a sign and yelling, what happened to 1975.

  how many of us were coerced to investigate the wt because some ex-jw pulled up a bunch of old watchtowers magazines and told us to read the false predictions?.

  I woke myself up. I had doubts especially about elders and those up there having higher authority... because power corrupts most human beings, right?

  A little researching had me uncover articles related to cases of child abuse, UN, etc.. but most of all, I felt that something wasn't right.

  Ultimately, it is the level of self-righteousness, hypocrisy, conditional love, absence of genuine care that helped me realize this is just like any other religion... but more emotionally damaging to members.

  I thought that my curiousity, gut feel, and reasoning are also a gift from God. So why should I completely ignore it to follow WTS blindly?? I woke up and want to never fall asleep again.

  yesterday jw knocked on my door, i was sitting in the office with the window right next to it, they couldn't see me & i decided not to answer.

  they stood there for what seemed ages & as i watched something hit me.

  they were here only because they were on the territory.

  Honestly, this counting of time is what hurt me way back.

  I was a young lonely too naive of a woman who thought that those sisters kept studying with me because they cared about me.

  But in one instance the bible study conductor cut the study and had to rush to a meeting. She mumbled something to another sister but I overheard her saying she already MADE THE HOURS.
