what are your convictions now that you are no longer one of jehovah's witnesses?
are you a born again christian?
have you joined another denomination of christianity?

jehovah's witnesses have had to revise their chronology and various doctrinal interpretations due to events and scholarly corrections.
but the one teaching where they have been consistently ahead of the curve is the importance of jehovah's name.. .
i'm going to run through a (necessarily selective) timeline of jw events and scholarly publications that demonstrate the phenomenal success of this teaching in the last days.
The most successful teaching of Jehovah's Witnesses and an amazing new book on the divine name
The name "Jehovah" is a 13th Century Catholic Translation mistake.
Promoting the name is stupid.Promoting the name with huge success, is still stupid.

for only $12,500.00 your ashes can be put on the moon or $5,000 for a burial in low-earth orbit, where a travel-shampoo-size urn can spin for years at 17,000 mph until it gradually descends into the white-hot re-entry atmosphere.they hope to have a cemetery on the moon complete with plots and ceremonial adornments..just think every time it's a full moon you look up in the sky and you will always see you love one.
a thought, you are resurrected on the moon.....
Anyone interested in their ashes on the moon?
I`d have to be pretty snockered.
To put a " Lit Cigar Out" on my ass.
So...Noooooooo.
this was brought up in another thread, but i thought it should have its own thread.
feel free to add your own observations and experience.
the jws are so duplicit, and they rename things to somehow justify their own irrationalities.
JW renaming things: "It's Not this, it's ....."
They call themselves the WatchTower Governing Body.
The reality is.
They`re WatchTower Popes, they are Gods in WatchTower World.
.....
The WBT$ GB (fat ass) "Rock Star" Popes.
new system, brother, sister , kingdom hall, wordly person, in the truth .
there is a whole jw language that has to be deprogrammed..
STUMBLE...
it's around 10am here in the northeast of brazil.
i have just finished having coffee and a light breakfast.
i am reflecting on my saturdays of jw past, where i would be just about ready to leave the morning field service group and go door-knocking.. honestly, i hated every second of field service, always keeping one eye on the clock, counting down the minutes until service would be over.. 12 years later since i last "preached", i am also reflecting on the sense of freedom i experienced (and still experience) when i definitively said "no more!
I can't imagine having the time to spend going to meetings or on field-service - it really is a treadmill. No wonder people are tired and can't think straight about the state they are in......Simon
has anyone else had a moment, while still within the organization (and before learning ttatt) that caused them to stop and go, "this is kind of messed up.".
for instance, back i believe in the early 2000's, i was attending a dc with my family.
it was announced at the beginning of the convention that there was going to be a special announcement at the end, so for everyone to please try to remain until the very end of the meeting.

Special Meetings /Special Talks /Special Announcements...
Are always a huge disappointment.
JW`s never learn, they fall for the same WBT$ BullSh*t every time.
well i have to give credit where credit is due.
it was the part of today's symposium - build a house that will endure.
the part i was most impressed with was 'safeguard your children from "what is evil".
Safeguard your children from what is evil'

Somehow or another they managed to use a made up name for God and new cultist names that they use to set themselves apart.
The name Jehovah, is a 13th Century Catholic Translation mistake.
Without the Catholics.
WatchTower wouldn`t have a name for their God or their JW Cult Religion.
.....
Has WatchTower ever sent the Catholics a Thank You card?
