  Teachings/beliefs that fade into oblivion without explanation.

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  "millions now living will never die" that teaching persisted for a number of years from the early 1920`s ,sad to say that their would not be anywhere near millions alive today.and with another few years their won`t be anybody alive .. the year 1925 was supposed to see the resurrection of faithful men of old such as abraham issac and jacob and noah who were to be princes in the earth.

  of course no such thing happened and we don`t here anything more about that prediction anymore.. the time period between adams creation and eves creation was an excuse why armageddon was delayed in about october 1975 because they didn`t know how much time had elapsed between the two.

  that`s all forgotten about now.. six thousand years of human history was supposed to have ended in about october 1872 according to studies in the scriptures vol.2 1906 , the "time is at hand" page 11 (forward 1916 ) puts the start of the one thousand year reign of jesus christ as of the year 1873. so in 1906 they the i.b.s.a.

  Spiral- my guess is they didn't understand it to begin with and then when it was gone - the typical reaction was- oh ok...lol

  you know when you are in a deep sleep and something happens that may put you on a different level of sleeping, not as deep.

  anyway, then i thought, 90 minutes for lunch?

  so, there is a group waiting to cross the street.

  Definitely the lack of love among the congregation when that love is supposed to be the identifier of the true religion is what started it for us. Hypocrital Pharisee like attitude of elders when they were supposed to be serving the congregation was a huge red flag

  I was shocked with the implications of the types/ anti types abandonment because so many of the jw beliefs were built on that and with one annual meeting talk- poof gone- I was like does anyone in the cult slumber understand what that means?? Hello?? Anyone? Lol

  Our very own pale.emperor on the "shunned" podcast.......

  by dubstepped in

  well, i offered in one of his threads to have him on the show and posters seemed excited at the possibility and we got it done so now you can hear from the man himself on the newest episode of "shunned".

  one of our very own stepped up to tell his story, well, aside from myself of course.

  it was great getting to actually speak with him.. this is my first international interview for the podcast.

  If only JDubs were truthful with their Bible students

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jdubs are the masters of deception.

  what would you do if you were studying with the jdubs and they told you that when you get the truth, become a jdub, and join the borg that every single person in the world is bad association?

  in fact, you will have to be careful because even some in the congregation can also be bad association and you have to be careful around them if they have too much facial hair or if the sisters' skirts are a little too short or if the brother pants are a little too tight.. and you will find such delight in not dwelling upon the life that you have now which is unimportant because this system of things is going to be destroyed so there is no need to get a good education or to worry about your problems.. you just need to focus on the paradise earth that is just around the corner..

  I used to feel overwhelmed when I studied with someone cuz there was so much for them to learn doctrinely let alone all the other politics of this religion...it used to bother me when the hypocrites would love bomb the bible students but ignore other members of the congregation- so glad I don't go there anymore!

  They are increasingly appealing to emotion

  by cookiemaster in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  they always have but lately, they've taken it to a whole new level.

  the new convention video about the end, the many videos at conventions and meetings, the new songs, all highly emotionally manipulative.

  and they're working.

  I remember sitting around with friends from the hall and family after 9/11(they really used that as an opportunity for emotional manipulation) discussing how the end had to be within the next 10 years...well here we are in 2018! I didn't realize then how much cognitive disedance i was experiencing mainly because I didn't even know what that was. I never could reconcile or balance how we were supposed to live our present lives but plan for an unknown approaching end of the world. It is impossible to make decisions without having all the facts..I feel sad for all the Jws still asleep that are continuing to make decisions based on the deceptive fairy tale we were tricked into believing as truth..if you are lurking and reading our posts please take it from me- the sooner you accept that you are going to die just like all generations of man before us- the sooner you can start living your only real life NOW!!
