i was pretty young in 1975, all i remember was a few complaining at the hall after and those at the door that razed us over it.
does anyone remember how they went about denying it and when this started.
i do remember a scripture in psalms about people being mighty and living longer so this was used.
The denial of 1975 when and how did they go about it.
Actually, it was sickeningly simple...
Watchtower denied it ever happened, JW`s parrot whatever the WBT$ tells them.
My own parents denied, what they spent years of their lives doing.
Preaching "Armageddon by 1975" for the WBT$.
Even more mind blowing, was when I figured out.
Millions of other JWs suddenly got WBT$ Amnesia, about the history of their own lives.
just curious how we all think.. what prompted or influenced your choice of username for this forum?.
there are some really amazing names, and it would be great to hear the stories behind them.... mine was nothing fancy.
i just felt "stuck in a rut too" along with so many others.
What is behind your choice of forum user name?
It doesn`t stand out, blends into the scenery, keeps me under the radar...
so i've been thinking a lot about why i stayed a jw for so long even though i had always had doubts about the doctrines.
i was born into the religion, left and came back as an adult for another decade.
some of the things that come to mind (besides the threat of shunning-and this isn't to minimize that very real threat) was:.
What made you stay "in" even when you knew it wasn't the "truth"?
Once I figured out it was all BullShit..
I WAS GONE...
let's here some stories of good samaritan conduct , i asked an elder so called friend once could my son sleep on garage floor for a couple of days due to work , the answer was no due to son not believing..
JW hospitality toward those not in the org.
elders ,co ,do ,branch overseers ,gb ,missionaries has "sinful" lust got the better of them..
There are no scandals in the WBT$/JW Cult.
Any wrongdoing is an isolated incident or never happened.
If you don`t agree, you won`t be a JW for much longer.

jesus in hebrew means "savior' and christ in greek means "messiah".
these are identifiers --not names in jesus case.. where did the name christ come from, his parents???
?i can see the name jesus (first name) but christ.
What was Jesus last name???

i think the swamp would empty overnight .
I've lost count of how many still-in ttatters have come on here and said that they'd leave if they could but currently - for whatever reason - can't.....Vidiot
i think the swamp would empty overnight .
How many JWs would Disassociate if there were no family sanctions?
Not a lot, maybe 10%-15%.
Most of them are happy where they are.
The rest are institutionalised.....("Where else would we go?")

Anyone who really wants to leave, leaves no matter what.
is a bag man.. i take bags with me everywhere: paper and canvas shopping bags, designer sacs, wine-tote bags, and so forth.
there is so much to transport, drop off, and new stuff to bring to my digs.
an assortment awaits me in the foyer as i head out to do some long-postponed and needed acquisition.
Cool old clock CoCo.
Meh...
I always get new bags where ever I shop, plastic.
At home, I have bags of plastic bags which I eventually throw out.
I`m single handly destroying parts of the planet, Kim Jong Un doesn`t eat..
