Why I DON'T Fear The Future - A Conversation With My JW Mum

by Divergent in

jw
friends

3 questions i hit my jw mum with:.

first question: do you believe that god is love?

third question: do you think a god of love would choose to destroy me for not doing something i cannot do (be a jw) because i am not convinced rather than convince me beyond doubt?

Alostpuppydog

Dude exactly.

This is what I said to my father: If I have changed my life around to conform to the organization and its requirements, then why is it that I then become so depressed and even suicidal? Even when I beg Jehovah to protect me because I am working in harmony with my prayers. Not only that, but I have serious disagreements with the organization while studying, and aren't we supposed to make the truth our own and keep testing to see if we are in the truth?

His response: of course it makes perfect sense! Satan wants to mislead you away from the organization.

Me: 😑

We are in similar situations home slice and I don't know what it requires to put it through our parents' heads...

My mom contacted me last night...

by HereIgo in

as i have revealed in other threads my mother and i havent talked in over 2 years.

she has been keeping her distance, therefore staying loyal to jehovah.

That's exactly what I want to say to my Dad. I think what you did is good though, and I wish I had the courage man. Whatever happens May peace be with you guys.

Extreme joy from Witnesses regarding President "Tribulation" Trump!!

by Witness 007 in

so sunday afternoon tea with my "anionted" mum and her old witness holy friends.

they start talking trump how he "is gonna do somthing to start armegedon.

" no sad faces about this apocalipse.

Alostpuppydog

First and foremost Adolf Hitler was faked in history to be the bad guy, just as was the Austria-Hungarian Empire during WWI.

Second, trump may be a slave-driver, but is by no means a war monger like the Clintons.

So sure we might have a revolution and the U.S. becomes no more, it's inevitable and not the end of the world. Study history, oh wait historians aren't reliable according to the dubs.

November Broadcast - truly evil

by iwasblind in

hi there i don't watch much of the propaganda on jw.org anymore but i did catch the november broadcast.. i think these guys are either evil or controlled by someone who is incredibly skilled at mind control.. firstly, they establish their authority by saying "everything" else is a lie - you can't trust media or anyone.

"there is no inspiration today.." but they somehow have the direct connection with god - yuck.. then, they proceed with that disgusting "shunning" drama - but now it is not called shunning, (around 24 mins) the mother said... "if we were to stand between levi and the discipline he needs we would in affect be blocking an expression of jehovah's love from reaching him...".

i am so angry at this, what a load.

Alostpuppydog

Can't trust the 'mainstream' media that is all owned by less than 10 corporations to further their New World agenda to conquer the world and use the banks to enslave humanity, then yes.

But their are outlets i.e. Drudge Report, Infowars, What Realky Happened, etc. with their own agendas obviously, but by far much more trust-worthy and actually reliable.

A Change in Weather

by compound complex in

continual rain, at long last, has ended another typically hot and dry summer, one that gave every appearance of extending far into a protracted indian summer.

yet, october was unusually wet.

this thanksgiving week promises daily rain.. an unforeseen sadness is creeping gradually, insidiously into the fabric of my life.

Alostpuppydog

Man I love the rain! I love the snow. I love the doom and gloom. Makes me feel so good knowing I am not missing anything outside for another summer. Huzzah to the season!!!

How does an elder become an elder ?

by Drwho in

i was never a jw , so have millions of questions .

please, how does an elder become an elder and how much trust does or should a jw put in an elder .?

simon.

Elders are the most arrogant mofos in the congregation. They 'literally' believe they are kings on this earth. Not joking by any means whatsoever. They are God, worship them muhahaha. Now I am joking.

The overseers are even worse. And I can only imagine Bethelites and the GB, oh my days. Never had the opportunity and glad as hell I didn't. 😏

What is the purpose of life?

by slimboyfat in

while reading the magazines the other day it occurred to me that jws never really had a very good answer to that question.

because it was aimed at young people and it said something along the lines, "if you believe in god you have a purpose, but if you don't believe in god your life has no purpose or meaning".

i think that is a faulty analysis of the situation.

Alostpuppydog

Basically to suffer suffer suffer to your death and be told your whole life you are a terrible and worthless person whom would be better off dead.

Morbid? I know. Reality? Fact.

I am a realist so suck it. 😄

Arguing with Witnesses vs Trinitarians

by schnell in

jw
friends

i have always been told as a jw that trinitarians, particularly baptists, are just the worst people to argue with out in service.

i have always been told it was the world with a veil over their eyes.

the hypocritical irony is that so many witnesses are completely stubborn and willing to believe in magic before they believe anything against their dogma.

Alostpuppydog

Arguing with anyone about religion in my experience has always led to the boot out the door, including JWs. Soooo yea, that's what I got for you m8. 😅

Why is religion in general so obsessed with what people choose to do with their willies and vaginas?

by jambon1 in

jw
friends

what was it in the evolution of religion that got them so hung up about what people do with their genitalia?.

i mean, the (mis)use of genitalia is up there with murdering another human being in terms of badness.. and in the 21st century, we have a situation where in the jw religion, it's deemed as acceptable for three middle aged/old men to sit a teenage girl down and ask her the details of her use of her genitals.

to any normal person this is intrusive, completely inappropriate and bordering on deviancy.. why they so obsessed?.

Alostpuppydog

Well it was originally meant to keep society from falling apart like do today i.e. single parent homes, poverty on a grand scale, ironically enough to prevent pedos from having access to young kids, and preventing the spread of sexual diseases.

And it is very innapropriate without other women present during whatever they are discussing is on topic, whether it's from the simplist things to sexuality in any private situation. I would even say those elders are pedos in disguise.

Overall I would say you can't blame them for wanting to promote healthy relationships, but nevertheless, the way they do it according to what you stated would be completely stupid and even borderline insane.

Hope this helps.

Is The Governing Body The Rulers Of A Criminal Organization? Wolves In Sheep's Clothing

by Brokeback Watchtower in

i think we can see that the further we proceed into the future the more criminal this organization looks due to man's more evolved social understanding,, so since this thing is gradual i'm predicting that this evolution will exterminate this cult with a capital fuck you.. since this is a religion that has exported itself(criminal activity) all over the world from usa origins i would expect the usa court system not to come to their aid when reach lawsuits come reaching from all over the world to usa based headquarters living there situated on a contaminated chemical dump site (whether it is properly been clean up it is anybody's guess (i'm guessing not))..

Alostpuppydog

Let's see here... The GB drives around in brand new Cadillacs just like the old 'leaders' back during the depression. And our economy is even worse off now. That and they eat like Caesar Augustus and couldn't be bothered to pay their employees a decent wage, but eat the most exquisite delicicasies and never clean their own laundry for f_ck sakes. Lmao ever heard of slavery? Yea they are slave drives. *whip*
