i'm sure we've all heard things like; " we need to develop a close personal relationship with jehovah.

we can ask him to help us through difficult times, he should be our closest friend.

throw your burden on j. or the ol' jehovah will provide.

i just finished watching "the prodical returns" dvd with my wife and i have to say i was impressed with the quality of the video.

i mean the actors are not proffesional but it was well put together.

my wife (not fully awake) was in tears at the part when father welcomes back the son and they hug.

here is just one of many example's of the nutty crap on the jw talk discussion forum.

there's another much crazier one about how a sister is in the "new system" and is talking to all of the animals and how they're not eating each other anymore including whales etc.

i will post it when i have more.

Who are the men that REALLY Run the WT?
by Zordino in
1. jw
2. friends
with all of the manipulating of people's lives and subliminaly coercing witnesses to give their wills and other belongings to the wt upon their death or sooner.

also with all of the manipulating of younger one's in terms of coercing them into not doing anything with they're lives except "spiritual pursuits" for the sole purpose of furthering their own corporate interests, is there possibly some men behind the scenes who really call the shots and using the gb just as puppets in a huge money making scam knowing full well the the whole jw thing is a complete pile of crap?

in other words, are these "bosses" conscientiously manipulating the r & f on purpose knowing full well what they are doing to their member's in so many ways?

i am a fader and through the years i've known and spoken to jw's who live their entire life around the religion.

they live as though they speak with jesus himself!

what really got to me was the other day me and my wife had to stop by some elder's house and it was a saturday night.

my parents are now reaching their 80's and have a substantial portfolio.

although i've never actually seen their will, they've mentioned that they may be leaving quite a large sum (roughly 25%) of their estate to the watchtower corp. my questions are.

a. once the money is sent, if requested back by one of the children is there any way to get the money back from the corp?.

Still believe in a "Loving" Creator.... Watch This.
by Zordino in
1. jw
2. friends
this is a bit of a rebuttal to greybeards ("lack faith in a creator.... watch this") post and the reason why many people lack any faith in a loving creator.

granted, there could be a superior intelligence that could have set certain events in motion but i do not believe there is a loving heavenly father who gives a rats ass about humanity!

its just that in all of recorded history, the human race has suffered (and continue's to suffer) a great deal.

hello all, i've been on this site for a few weeks (reading for longer) and i have to say this site has helped me a great deal.

i see from reading all the posts that many many people share my views on the whole jw thing and i'm so glad i can express myself without getting into problems with getting reported to the elders or something.

i am currently in my late 30's happily married to a jaydub with 2 kids.
