Why I'm rejoining the JWs

by Fred Franztone in

jw
friends

dear brothers and sisters.

after many years outside of the truth, living as an atheist, i have come to realise that i have been on the wrong path.

the fool has said in his heart that there is no god, and i have been a fool.

The "Faulty weights, scales and measurements" of the Governing Body!

by stuckinarut2 in

while chatting with forum friends the other day, we recognised the way that the gb have so cleverly set a faulty benchmark.

yes, a faulty set of scales or weights for all witnesses!.

two scriptures can even apply:.

Feb 2018 jwbroadcasting train wreck!

by stuckinarut2 in

oh wow!.

the feb2018 broadcast is an absolute masterclass in cult manipulation, and a prime example of the high control nature of the society!.

if you haven't watched it, be prepared for some really disturbing stuff, especially as they address children, and guilt them into jw activity.

@DesirousOfChange It's poetic irony, isn't it? I think @OneEyedJoe summed it up yesterday when he delivered this grand-slam comment:

"It's all very Orweilian. Every word is redefined to be it's opposite:

The masters are the 'slave' (FDS).

Being 'spiritual' means giving materially and with physical acts of devotion.

Kicking someone out on the street and thinking of them as if they have been killed by god is a 'loving arrangement'.

'The truth' is all lies.

'The truth will set you free' - it frees you from being able to do whatever you want and live with the consequences...

It's not brainwashing, it's having your mind cleansed of impure thought

And now, it's not a genuine desire to share happy family traditions and give generously, it's bullying."

Prof Bunsen / G Jackson?? See the similarities? It's the Muppet Show!

by stuckinarut2 in

perhaps someone can assist here?.

while watching the may 2017 broadcast, it struck us how similar g jackson looks (while sitting and wearing his waist coat) to the muppets character prof bunsen!!!!.

perhaps someone with better computer skills can upload the pics side by side?.

Aaaand everyone's favorite lazy-eyed Muppet made an appearance toward the end of the latest Broadcasting episode. Professor Bunsen explained to viewers that our lives aren't shaped by "defining moments" or "exciting moments", but rather, menial WT service and our day-to-day expressions of faithfulness to the organization.

Seriously - get a load of Jackson's sun spots and sickly cyanotic complexion. This guy is like a walking tumor. Well, not really. It's a big deal when you spot a tumor. Sorry, @abel_la_rosa:

Yes. YES. I got chills down my spine thinking about how frantically I tried when showing my father what a real "100 cm ruler" looked like... And to verify if it was truly one metre, he pulled out the faulty 90 cm one of the "Society" to hold up against it, deeming MINE as inaccurate!

As Bart Thompson, former District Overseer once said, "If the Society told me that this book is black instead of green, I would say, 'Y'know, I could have sworn that it was green, but if the Society says it's black, then it's black!'"

In Watchtower's world, what's good is bad, what's wrong is right, what's up is down and what's black is... well, green. When truth is blurred by lies and misinformation, perception becomes reality and all sense is lost. All that's left is the thick sediment of delusion which cannot be penetrated by facts.

As a Witness, my life was a hallucination. I may as well have been living in a fun house with warped walls and distorted mirrors. Until we can get our loved ones to fearlessly confront themselves in front of an non-corrupted mirror, they're going to keep juggling theocratic nonsense in the WT circus, believing that it is OUR behavior which is abnormal.

Satan is "bullying" you through family

by neat blue dog in

just thought i'd share this ridiculous picture from a recent watchtower.

in recent years, the word bullying has been thrown around a lot, and often misused by instigators and subtle bullies themselves.

in this picture we learn that your loving family who wants to continue sharing a family tradition with you, who hands you a beautifully wrapped present with a smile on their face, is in fact bullying you.

Wake Me Up Before You Jo-Ho

This image needs to be lambasted across social media. I think it's imperative for non-Witnesses to see how their JW families' religion is portraying them. If being "worldly" was a race, the WT extremism and segregation would become so much more palpable to the outside world.

How the f*ck can JWs preach that they're about family unity and love when they DEMONIZE non-believing family members, poisoning the JW ones against them? Saddest part is, those studying the WT will completely miss the fact that they've been manipulated and played yet again by the Governing Body's propaganda.

"Scathing Athiest" podcast tears the 2018 convention videos to shreds!

by stuckinarut2 in

this weeks scathing athiest podcast has great fun tearing to shreds the series of disturbing 2018 convention videos!.

if anyone is not aware of scathing athiest, this great group of guys poke fun at all manner of religious institutions, and do so in a very irreverent way!

yes, full of language and obscenity!

Wake Me Up Before You Jo-Ho

At first, I thought these Jews sounded a bit like Stern. But then, toward the end of the podcast, I heard them goofing on the emphatic way "Jer-HOOO-vah" is pronounced in dramas. They laughed and said "That's like 'W-ENNN-B-C'. " At that moment, I knew we were in good company:

F*ck yeah, Howard.

Cheap Shots Fired

by Wake Me Up Before You Jo-Ho in

when @brian j’s “bullet in the head” thread went live (https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4747450574176256/session-8-bullet-head) those written shots echoed in my mind.

a week later while overhearing a bible study, the conductor was asked if god really has given us “free will”.

but if someone ever put a gun to my head and asked me to renounce my faith as a jehovah’s witness, i would die.”.

Wake Me Up Before You Jo-Ho

@Vanderhoven7 That's right. It's interesting because Peter got away with it - why? Because of mercy and grace - the two things that WT completely strips 8 million Christians of under its cruel tutelage.
