  this is a great video- well worth watching.. it shows how a multi-level marketing group that peddles psydo-science can be compared to a religious group..

  Typical Antitypical and 1914

  2. beliefs

  could someone help me with this question please as it has been on my mind for sometime.

  watchtower comes along and changes the typical anti typical beliefs and with a stroke of the pen eliminates years of books and teachings.

  why does this not apply to 1914?

  I asked an old timer about his thoughts about it and he holds the view that as the light gets brighter it gets more simple... I had no words because I sat through 3 book studies of the the NOW extinct revelation book...🙄🤔😑😶

  I have been WAITING for more of us to wake up and discover this. When they reviewed this new light at the annual meeting I was so confused how any still in PIMI Jws weren't so bewildered and devastated. Every thing they have taught in the past and are waiting to happen in the future was rooted in type/ anti type nonsense!

  Do you remember when you realised it was all bulls£&t

  i remember when my faith left me.

  i used to enjoy meetings and used to participate but then all of a sudden i was finding myself bored shitless at meetings.

  i was taken off the theocratic ministry school for not attending when i was due to give a talk and not long after did something naughty and got disfellowshiped.

  I remember sitting at the mid week meeting and the book study was about universal sovereignty- sorry, I don't know what book is was from but all the literature is peppered with this info, so the exact reference not necessary in this case. I was actually having a critical thinking moment and did not agree at all with the reasoning about why human suffering needed to happen and continues to need to happen. Then I realized in that moment the carrot that continues to dangle honest hearted Jws is just not true...

  i was a 3rd generation jw on my mom’s side and both of my parents were jws when i was born.

  me and my 3 siblings were raised a bit on the strict side.

  no sports, outside association, college, mandatory meeting attendance & service routine, etc.

  Enjoyed your story! I wish we would have started a family- we stupidly bought into the whole wait to the new system bs when we were in. Isn't it interesting how moving away from family changes your faith? That happened to us.

  Watchtower Nov 3 2018 All about God and his feelings

  by days of future passed in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is a subject that the wt has covered many times.

  it uses the example of human feelings as a basis to understand god.. for instance: under the heading "does god notice you?

  ", it goes into great detail of about what a woman feels when she bonds with her child.

  One of my biggest issues has always been, how can a loving God continue to watch from his front row seat all the unspeakable suffering that happens every minute of the day the world over. Especially when allegedly has the power to stop it!

  What Are The Differences Between JWs Born In and Converted?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i tend to think that many jws who joined the religion in their later years feel foolish or are embarrassed by their decision to become one of jehovah’s witnesses.

  .

  i’m not embarrassed by my years “in the truth “ because i was raised from infancy to believe everything was god’s word and who are we to question jehovah and his organization?

  I guess It was cognitive dissonance at work in me, long before I even knew what that was... I used to meditate on this very subject. I observed Jws that converted as adults having a more intense over the top spirituality. They were jw fanatical. I was a born in and my friends and I struggled with living a "double" life as Jws call it, but now I realize it was just our need and want to be and feel normal. I found the cult like ways of the adult jw converts border-line repulsive. Of course, I have observed many born ins with this same behavior, obviously because of all the meetings aka indoctrination sessions. I realize now how all the brain washing has affected me as well. The doctrines that bother me the most are the ones I believed and did my best to obey, but Others didn't and then these doctrines become null,and void, due to them being ignored but the greater number. When you bring them up, brainwashed Jws actually say, no we were never told that. YES WE WERE- I was there. I am of course talking about the don't have kids in this system doctrine. Just because now a days - last 20 years or so, most are going against this suggestion, doesn't mean I wasn't raised to not be normal and start a family. The GB is well aware that the only growth happening is the kids- the same kids we weren't supposed to have...so all the Dont have kids brainwashing has suddenly stopped🙄🤔
