  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so i was reading genesis chapter 10 and 11 to see how it explains the man who supposedly is the offspring of noah and he and his offspring become the nation known as egypt.

  in some bibles they actually call him egypt.

  well as i was reading chapter 10 i noticed something.

  Would be a good point to bring up during the CLAM and tell what little gems you found in your study of the bible lol.

  Reinstated and then fade

  by Zeds Dead in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm a man - d'fd for 2.5 years now and divorced.

  find it hard to date girls out here only due to always having this secret i carry with me that i was once a jw and the thought of telling a girl one day why my family don't acknowledge me as even alive.. recently been thinking of trying to get reinstated and then do a quick fade as i cant go back to the whole jw stuff.. easier said than done and was turned down twice by elders after an immediate attempt 2 years ago.. my motivation for trying would be 1.

  ) to see if family make contact and 2) play the last hand in their game and give the middle finger.. interested in viewpoints?.

  I wouldn't worry about telling someone. Anyone i told were intrigued by how crazy the religion is and in no way thought bad of me.

  Congregation witch hunt?

  by dothemath in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  heard about a congregation recently that had a local needs talk regarding going to the elders if any wrongdoing had happened, or if you knew of someone involved.. mostly they were concerned with over-indulging in alcohol, but the elder emphasized "the need to get help from elders, or your spirituality would be harmed".

  (words to that effect).

  so now there's brothers and sisters running to see these guys, and likely over stuff that happened maybe years ago.. funny thing is the brother telling me about it said there's been several meetings now where people's names are read from the platform, and it looks like it'll be going on for a while.. i think if your conscience was bothering you, you would be better off being catholic, at least your only confessing to one person instead of being shamed in front of eveyone..

  Thats how it always goes. Everyone is having a good time and pushing the limits in the congregation, then one person gets a guilty conscience or pisses someone off and everyone in that group gets in trouble. Seen it quite a few times.

  Yea they announced this at meeting the other night and they said a vendor would be handling it. I couldn't believe they would allow an outside vendor handle it, and it sounds like each congregation is gonna be charged $10 a month to use the service. Someone is making a lot of money off of fees it sounds like.

  WATCHTOWER'S most powerful weapon keeps the disillusioned inside

  by TerryWalstrom in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  absolute obedience to watchtower cult leaders is only necessary because of coercion and intimidation and the duress of having the shun gun pointed at their head for those jw's who are now awake.

  the threat is as real as that of a fully loaded pistol.. .

  we are all aware of friends and family who are still inside the kingdom halls with very little actual conviction that they are in the truth.

  If only those on the inside would step back and look at it from a different perspective.

  "The Witnesses have also helped with certain public facilities in town. When Warwick needed some material to build one of last sports fields out at Union Corners Park, Sweeton said he contacted the Watch Tower Society.
  
  The group responded by providing all of the material the town needed as well as hydroseeding the soil, which allowed the grass to come in very nicely and much more quickly than had the town done the work - all at no cost to taxpayers.
  
  Devine said that the group also has built a press box at the Little League field near the headquarters.

  
  Currently, the Watch Tower Society is working with a Greenwood Lake Boy Scout Troop to refurbish the east shore of Greenwood Lake, offering their assistance in terms of material and volunteer trade help."

  
  

  Looks like they are using donations to build sports fields for the public and working with the boy scouts. Wonder if that'll be on jwbroacasting?
