They keep trying to sell me this story that everything is different now, that I wouldn't recognize the religion if I came back
JEHOVAH`S WITNESSES...
i left the religion back in the early 2000's, tell you the truth it's been so long now i've been out i don't remember exactly when i left.
i definitely used this site a lot when i first left and it was a great asset.
when i left i somehow managed to get my parents to come with me.

JEHOVAH`S WITNESSES...
pacifismˈpasɪfɪz(ə)mnoun: pacifismthe belief that war and violence are unjustifiable and that all disputes should be settled by peaceful means.. .
one thing that always irked me as a witness was their pacifism.
i totally agree that non violence is a wonderful way to live, but at the same time whenever i'd read or watch something about nazi germany i always thought being a pacifist in that environment wouldn't work.
JWs and Pacifism
Pacifists that support a worldwide genocide?
hi folks, tight pants twinkle toes here - my first post.
i am the husband of the new poster finally left.
we both recently left, my wife after 43 years and 46 years for me.
What are the chances of someone from the outside world joining the JW`s, in the information age?..Practically Zero.
People trying to get out of the WBT$/JW Cult, are the ones that need the help.
too much crap to keep track of, but a few low lights of day one of the regional convention stuck out.
in no particular time sequence here is some of what i managed to hold down.. tight pants yapped on in the opening part about a three part theme to conventions.
part 1 was in 2016, part 2 is this year, and part 3 is in the works for 2018. i guess the big a isn't coming for a couple more years, at least.. then it was really stressed that all good dubs must always be prepared to "witness" by carrying jay double you, dot org calling cards, and of course wear your id card for the convention at all times, and all places.. next was the strong statement that the purpose of the carts/trolleys is not to place literature, it is to direct people of the public to "our" web site!

It was obvious from the get-go.
The carts are to further isolate JW`s from the rest of the world.
You`re in a public place advertising the WBT$, but you`re not supposed to engage anyone?
Who`s going to the WBT$ website?........JW`s!
Not the people sick of JW`s, knocking on their door..
i'm not real sure if it's 50/50 but i know trump has a lot of key advisers that live for the war machine, and what's the good of weapons that never get used.
kimmy seems hell bent on a fireworks display..
Considering how naive Trump is about Consequences.
AND...
Who the person is, who talked to him last about a Big Decision...
Everything could be fine or, shit could hit the fan..

It`s a Coin Toss...
my freedom came with a heavy cost.
i couldn't stand the dishonesty so when my sister went out of town on a trip i told my parents that i no longer wanted to be a jw.
when my sister got back and i told her she was so angry, said she really wanted to slap me, then she ran off sobbing, a few minutes later she deposited every gift i ever gave her in front of my door.. my entire family has turned against me.
My entire family has turned against me. They all feel so much pain over this and from their point of view it's all my fault.
i read that many people get their news from facebook.
i look online mostly at fox news and the drudge report.
very seldom do i look at cnn.😎.
i have just posted elsewhere that there is no destiny for a jw other than to be deluded or disappointed, perhaps deluded or disillusioned would be a better expression.
there is no such thing as armageddon, no such thing as everlasting life, paradise is a mirage of wish fulfillment.. a friend of mine who is nominally a jw but who does not believe a word of it, told me about the dying words of another friend's father.
this man had been a lifelong stalwart jw and reared an exemplary jw dynasty but as he died he told his super zealous son that it (the jw religion) has got it all wrong.. ok, it's a social club for the majority of witnesses and an identity for those without self worth or clear goals in life, they will swallow the inconsistencies and biblical absurdities because it is in their community interests to conform.
The fate of all of Jehovah's Witnesses
i know this is a stupid question because the answer is obvious, but if a person was born a male and gets transgender surgery to turn into female will that person go to heaven as a male or female if they died saved?
i think they will go to heaven with the gender they were born with.
But is this applicable to Jews too? Usually breakfast sausage is not kosher since it is made of pork.....David_Jay
No worries.

If a person is transgender and gets saved what will they go to heaven as?
Gender doesn`t matter.
