  Are Ex-JW's Suffering From Burn Out?

  by IWant2Leave in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the reason that i ask is, in the two years on this forum and you tube, i've seen ex-jw's either drop off entirely or make fewer and fewer videos.

  i know the emotional toll can be high.

  is that the sole reason, or is it cost (video) or do you think it's external pressure (legal or family)?

  If your healthy there is no reason to keep taking the medicine. Only one reason to stay and that is to help other people, the walking wounded.

  I think about where that wasted 50 million came from.

  The little girl that puts half of weekly allowance of 50 cents in the contribution box for the "world wide work" so she can get a smile from her delusional parents.

  The old sister that doesn't have enough money to fix her bad teeth but puts a percentage of her SS check in the same box every month.

  People like my stupid mother that left it all to the Watchtower Bible and Truck society, when she died and nothing to her kids.

  Do You Feel Your Rights Are Being Trampled On By Government Regarding Coronavirus?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i support local and state and federal government’s power to safeguard the public.

  i wonder is it getting to a point where we will be told we can’t go out anymore, can’t use your phone or computer anymore because of the viruses that we can get, etc.

  are we prolonging this virus at all ?

  As George Carlin once said there are no such thing as "rights" there are only "temporary privileges"

  Just look up Japanese Americans living in the US during World War two...what kind of "rights" did these people have?

  "Right this way into the internment camp!"

  "We do not know why Jehovah encouraged us to leave, but later it will become clear." So the prayers went out.

  "Please Jehovah what should we do?"

  "We have millions in law suits and are short on funds. We could start selling off Kingdom halls....or all of our property in Brooklyn. Or, we could just turn of the list of pedophiles to the authorities....and save thousands of our young children in your organization the pain, shame and sometimes even suicide."

  "What!" said Jehovah. "And make me and my organization look bad all over the world!...better sell that shit off!"

  Do you have any evidence that the GB had bad intent?

  by AlainAlam in

  do you have any evidence that the gb had bad intent?

  as opposed to blind faith/cognitive dissonance and honest mistakes.. i'm inclined to think they have the best of intentions and are just wrong (primarily because the bible is wrong), but i'm willing to consider the evidence otherwise..

  Disfellowshiped? Nope!

  Public reproved? Nope!

  Sent to Mexico and be a Special Pioneer so he could screw more young boys? Yep!
