  What was it about Bethel that woke you up?

  by cognisonance in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one the how many exbethelites thread it was mentioned that some think one either leaves down the path towards apostasy or as a 100% true believer.

  i'm curious what experiences did you face at bethel that woke you up (or started to at least)?.

  I was at bethel for two seperate two week construction deals in 84.....

  the second I was ready to leave the org, I went there to get away from the congragation I was in .. you could miss meetings while you were there no one knew you so .. I did

  Ive said before that, the Bro who was bringing me in constantly reminded me that we were not CULT as a CULT has one leader..

  But while at bethel, the morining text, all the comments were somehow spun into praise Freddie Franz.. he was in his 90's

  I thought geez really..when he's dead who will they worship!

  plus the food sucked

  I different guy who studied with me was there his Name was Bill Christ... he was a refrigeration tech, who had a lot to do with the new 4 color presses...

  does any on here no him..

  I never really woke up till now I just wanted out.. I remember, if this is how the new system .. I'll pass

  Being a JW is like betting on a horse race-

  by moshe in

  you can win almost everytime, if you have insider information!

  that is what the wt all but promises- you can cheat death and live forever in a paradise earth!

  but you need inside information to win that race-- and you can only get it from the governing body - the meat in due season, is the equivalent to the horse race insider tip- it's like a sure bet folks!!.

  does anyone dream they are on the ministry?

  by pajaha in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  or maybe that should be "nightmare" - not dream.. it happens less and less, but still does now and again after 10 years.

  it's always associated with a great feeling of dread and going from door to door knowing you do not believe what you are saying (i should point out that, while i was in it, i pretty much did believe it).. i guess it shows how big a part of our lives it once was - a bit like you often dream of being in school or of long-departed relatives..

  Is The Book of Revelation All About Me & My Generation?

  by ClubSandwich in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jws believe the book of revelation offers an account of what is to come in their lifetime.

  but the problem is that every generation for the last 1900 years has thought the same thing.

  and, every generation has been wrong, even though each new one thinks it will be about me and my generation this time.. most reputable bible scholars believe that revelation, also called the apocalypse of john, was not written to describe the future for people living today.

  A thought experiment about what it means "to be" GOD

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  all believers in god begin with the premise that he is the creator.. but-stop!.

  go back one step.

  what about before god was a creator.. creation is the "beginning" for the created--but--not for god.. .

  So God created a Reality that.. can never understand him...

  Did it just work out that way or did he do it on purpose... if so why...
