Poor people are sub-human?

by Alostpuppydog in

has anyone noticed how many jw's really seem to be rollin in it?

escpecially the elders, and they treat their subordinates like filthy gum on the bottom of their shoe?

just wondering because i too am poorer than poor and have spent a fourth of my life homeless already and i am 22.. another thing to consider is why domost of the population on this planet seem to hate the poor, even though we outnumber the middle class and the rich greatly?

Interesting points. Now I will make mine after reading everything and taking a needed break from this site.

1. I have reached out to a therapist and see the person once a week now.

2. I have cut back on watching as much conspiracy stuff, but still do at work because it's either that or music (which I hate).

3. I have never abused drugs other than ibuprofen in my mid teens to help the pain of gaining 80 pounds from exercising for 3 years straight (now maintaining the weight with a decent diet and regular exercise).

4. I have applied to technical college and am planning to attend the campus visit (which is within 15 miles from me). Unsure if I will live on campus and go full-time (probably otherwise I will be 100% homeless if I can't get a roommate at my apartment by next year and even then I'll need to work part-time to afford the rent)

5. I need to change my meds so I don't feel so tired constantly, that, and so I can deal with my depression better.

6. Figure out what to do with my Dad because he is my current roommate, and he talks constantly about how horrible life is and we should just go on a shooting spree and end it all because nobody appreciates him blah blah and I have no friends and workmates suck. Tho he makes good money, I couldn't do his job and be happy, and he clearly isn't either. So he is not helping my depression at all. My Mom lives on the other side of the US and I have no other family within at least 400 miles.

7. I was a straight A student in high school and dropped out of med school with straight A's because I hated it.

Soooooo, I am planning to go to college (trade school) part-time to get back into it in the summer and fall semester while still working full-time (maybe switching the two) and figure out if I will be able to get a roommate or if my Dad will settle down or move to campus. My other option is to sleep in my car with my Ak-47 fully loaded in the JW parking lot and get put to sleep by the police. This other option is my back-up plan if the first plan (and its variants) fail because I refuse to live in a shelter and rot to my death in a slow manner. Would rather go quick you know, if I had to.

Any suggestions, thoughts, etc.?

i started a thread on this guy's comments about building kingdom halls here.. the guy also said this (again, not a word for word quote, but the gist of his comments):.

"the primary hope of salvation is the resurrection.

jehovah does not promise anyone that he will survive armageddon.

Finally someone who makes some sense in the Jdub land! I am going to have to find some info on this intelligent JW.

Not totally sure here.

i did not see a newbs thread to introduce myself, so my apologies if i'm in the wrong place.

i was a 3rd generation born in witness for 30 years until i was disfellowshipped back in 2007 for making a mistake.

my entire life up until that point was based on and circled around the society, and even though at first i really enjoyed my freedom (i still do), the fact is that i'm still struggling with cognitive dissonance, resentment, and loneliness.. i miss my family all the time.

Hello NinaCee!

Welcome to a website full of people. Be careful what you talk about on here because there are quite a few trolls out there that will try and attack you personally for no apparent reason. And I've seen plenty of ex-JW's defend the JW's to the death against you, which is quite ironic. But I would say from my own experience that 60% are decent people on here.

Its strangely like being at a Kingdom Hall.

Armageddon

by finnrot in

jw

with these new disasters going on around the world, i would imagine that the jw's are going ape shit with the thought of death and destruction right around the corner.

i was smart enough to leave this cult after 1975 came and went with a whimper.

i was in my teens at the time and i vividly remember to this day the excitement all the witlesses had with the knowledge that '75 was going to be the year of armageddon!!!

Alostpuppydog

That is surprising. Though, there are plenty of of ex-Jws still here powertripping over one another giving comments with just a glance and go way off topic or on a tyrade to try and destroy someone. Pretty sad some of these trolls exist on this site.

-Btw idk if it is even worth addressing this topic because of the 6-year gap. Just thought I'd go off the recent (and only) comment.

My Mother reach out to me AGAIN!

by HereIgo in

about 3 weeks ago i created a thread due to my mom reaching out to me (we hadn't talked in over 2 years due to typical jw politics).

well, today she reached out again thought facebook messenger saying " i'm so sorry i hurt you my beautiful baby boy.

i'm hurting very much also.

Alostpuppydog

Nice man. Couldn't have said it better imo.

i am agnostic.

i will count how many agnostics, atheists and christians that are reading this forum regularly.

please answer my question.

Alostpuppydog

Reformed Judaism: I believe in Yahweh the almighty and Yeshua, whom created all things with Yahweh's power and approval.

Side note: I am a national socialist, politically speaking.

the future for the borg

by pepperheart in

it look very possible that the borg could lose their charity status in both the uk and oz if this happens the jw will not have all the tax breaks for the buildings that they have now.and that the headquarters will have to start finding extra money.and as they have done so much cost cutting anyway these past years i think they will have to start selling kingdom halls off.

.

That, and all the rape cases coming out. They don't have anywhere close to enough $$$ the Catholics have to pay off the rape cases I guarantee.

On a side note, I was studying several months ago and they noticed I had a few of their JW books and they immediately said I should really pay for them... For one, I have studied off and on years and have been on welfare since I was 13 and now I am finally off, but still living paycheck to paycheck working 40+ hours a week. And they drive up in their brand new Acutras and Chevrolets, Cadillacs, buicks, etc., scorning me... They must be struggling at the top.

Would you trust your Doctor if he got things wrong??

by stuckinarut2 in

just thinking..... assume we had a family doctor that we had seen all our lives, perhaps he had been the doctor for your extended family too.

he is lovely man, very kind and honest hearted.. but if he had prescribed treatment or medication that was wrong, and had bad effects on you, then changed the medication to something else, then randomly changed it again etc, how would you feel?.

if you did some research into him, and found disturbing facts and things in his history that made you question his qualifications, how would you feel?

Alostpuppydog

First off it is the same thing wether it is religions (JW or not), doctors, mechanics, etc. They are all salesmen that don't care about anyone but themselves, unless it affects them personally. I.e. If you die in the hospital due to miss-treatment or sloppy work. Nobody really cares about you as a person. It's reality everywhere you look, just take off the blindfold and you will see.

Who would vote to disband the JW organisation?

by Half banana in

from their history, it is evident that jehovah's witnesses are just another doomsday cult.. cults are run by autocrats.

on purpose they are ideologically fixated and they demand that their devotees hold the same absolute certainty of belief without regard for evidence.

the suspension of critical thought is encouraged and by focussing on the objectives of the cult belief in a like minded community, it gives both a sense of direction within a sort of ‘family’ and a hope of paradise perfection.. the leaders have everything to gain by controlling their followers; all the income goes in their direction.. democracy has strictly no part in a running cult.

Alostpuppydog

I vote to disband all religion, all gov't, all educational systems. It's time for humanity to to restart, even if that means 99% of us die. Just make sure those at the top are inprisoned and have them make an account to all of us for enslaving humanity. Anarchy and Revolution is what we need!
