  whats your take? When someone asks my wife what religion she is, she seems embarrassed to say she is a JW.

  so thinking back about the times when someone has asked my wife what religion she is.

  she sheepishly and seems almost embarrassed to say she is a jehovah witness.

  when someone asks me, i just say i am a christian.

  Oh yes I was this way

  She wants to fiT in. when she's at the kh she acts the way everyone expects and when she's around non-dubs she acts normal

  She may be battling a need to be accepted

  I remember this feeling starting my path of eye opening

  I couldn't understand why I wasn't so happy and bubbley like "all the other Bros & sis's"

  If I'm doing everything right why aren't I happy?

  I knew deep down I was faking it in the truth and I decided to PROVE it to myself I really did LOVE the truth

  Within about 3 hours of proving to myself I loved the truth I knee TTATT and I was mentally free

  It all made sense

  And what about if someone chooses to disobey jehovah in perfection?

  Satan was perfect yet he disobeyed

  Since jehovahs name will already have been sanctified the answer I've always understood is the disobedient one would be executed immediately

  What of their family? No tears? No sorrow?

  Living in a world where disobedience means instant death and survivors are incapable of feeling anything but pleasure all the time?

  What a joke

  What shocking stories did you ever hear about?

  by Truthexplorer in

  2. scandals

  as a pre-awakened ms, i heard of 2 stories that i found very shocking at the time.

  please keep in mind, i was following wt blindly at the time and was part of what i thought was the true religion.

  the first shocking story was when i attended a large meeting for elders and ministerial servants covering our circuit.

  I heard stories about murder and wife swapping.

  2nd hand from a credible source

  Also about a PO that basically practiced witchcraft but called it something else

  The older I get nothing surprises me

  I've seen all kinds of crap 1st hand. All kinds of affairs, drug use by elders & MS (and I mean serious drugs not pills or weed), extreme alcoholism, strip joints prostitutes you name it

  It's a spiritual paradise

  A sincere message to those from the organisation monitoring my posts....

  by stuckinarut2 in

  2. friends

  so, i know there are some from my congregation or from bethel who monitor my posts..... maybe you're looking for something to catch me out?.

  just a question: rather than trying to find fault with me, have you stopped and looked into the issues or facts about the organisation that caused me to come to a place like this forum??.

  facts are there for anyone to find nowadays....one just has to be willing to pull their head out of the sand.....

  I had a similar experience

  I went back through all my topics and posts and identified the bro that called me by my user name

  I then had ammo on him

  I never brought it up again and neither did he

  He's an MS now

  Witnesses killed my friend today.

  by WasOnceBlind in

  2. experiences

  today has been a horrible day.

  what began as a day of joy finding out that one of my lifelong friends had her baby, turned into a nightmare when her brother called me to let me know she had passed away after birth.

  i was in shock and didn't ask how.

  If you ask a witness if they would jump in front of a bus to save their child if it meant their own life they'll answer YES !

  If you ask them if they'd give them a blood transfusion OH NO!

  the difference? They'll die for their kids if it means a resurrection but not if they would lose out on it.

  Translation: I love my kids but not enough to die forever!

  If YOU had to make the decision, would you respect a JW relatives wish to refuse a blood transfusion?

  a few years after i quit the meetings my mum needed her medical directive signed and witnessed and she asked if i'd do it.

  i was surprised to say the least!.

  i think she was just angling to include me and maybe find some lever to get me involved again.

  Nope

  I'd sign

  Then get df'd for saving someone's life and dubs shunning me for saving their friends life

  Ultimate cognitive dissonance

  Even the Overlapping Generations isn't an original concept

  by paradisebeauty in

  2. beliefs

  to my surprise, i found this: .

  the overlapping generations model is an economic model .... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/overlapping_generations_model.

  if those people from wt are inspired, why can't they at least come up with something original .....

  Wasn't this concept addressed in a questions from readers decades ago? Like as far back as the 1950's?

  I think even Rutherford may have commented on this

  The overlapping generation is not new to the GB

  I can imagine this idea was shot down multiple times by 2/3 vote at the GB table over the past several decades
