  my wife asked me after the year 2000 came and went without fanfare(because the wt organization said all the “new world” would be here within this 20th century would end), “ what would it take for you to leave the truth?”.

  my reply was “ if i turn 60 in this “system of things”.

  I was always wired to live, not die. The thought of dying had never been in my vocabulary and scares the sh_t out of me!

  Me too. I can not deal with the thought of blinking out of existence.

  I cant imagine not being around to see my daughters have kids or become who they will become.

  I am terrified by it, and to a large degree I think it is paralyzing me to living the best life I can now.

  Feel... lost.

  graceyou won’t find any in the new world translation!no no no.you only find “undeserved kindness.”(ask yourself why you don't deserve kindness.

  ?isn’t kindness basic decency?

  ?if you are one of jehovah’s witnesses you have a reason.jehovah’s witnesses are never on firm standing with their god.

  2. beliefs

  meeting part comment on how the flood covered everest.

  It has always been said that the earth was much flatter than with small peaks (how stupid), and that the FLOOD waters pushed the mountains up, made the Grand Canyon and yada yada.

  And we all bought into that crap by the way.

  shocking!.

  the montana supreme court has unanimously overturned the largest civil verdict against the jehovah's witnesses in u.s. history in a closely-watched case on the requirements of religious leaders to report suspected incidents of child sexual abuse.. the ruling, issued wednesday, erased a $35 million jury verdict to alexis “lexi” nunez, who was abused by a member of the thompson falls, mont, congregation.

  elders at the local kingdom hall knew of separate allegations against the man, but did not report those to law enforcement after relying on legal advice from headquarters that clergy in montana are not required to report allegations deemed by religious organizations to be “confidential.”.

  Everyone see this! SHOCKING!

  The Montana Supreme Court has unanimously overturned the largest civil verdict against the Jehovah's Witnesses in U.S. history in a closely-watched case on the requirements of religious leaders to report suspected incidents of child sexual abuse.

  The ruling, issued Wednesday, erased a $35 million jury verdict to Alexis “Lexi” Nunez, who was abused by a member of the Thompson Falls, Mont, congregation. Elders at the local Kingdom Hall knew of separate allegations against the man, but did not report those to law enforcement after relying on legal advice from headquarters that clergy in Montana are not required to report allegations deemed by religious organizations to be “confidential.”

  The case – followed intensely by survivors, advocates, religious organizations, scholars, & lawyers across the country – was featured in one of the installments of a four-part 2019 Hearst Television National Investigative Unit series called, ‘Silent No More,’ which uncovered new allegations of child sexual abuse and decades-long cover ups inside the Witnesses organization nationwide.

  NIU cameras were granted rare access to bring cameras into a state supreme court’s oral arguments in September to report on the Nunez hearing in Montana.

  Outcast Doctrines

  by Socrateswannabe in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in a recent post about the watchtower’s claim that all animals were created as vegetarians, one commenter said that watchtower could no longer sustain this belief so they simply stopped talking about it.

  i began thinking about other wacky doctrines and statements by the borg that have faded away.

  i’ll offer two of them below, but the complete list must be longer than your arm.. 7000 year-long creative days: watchtower once taught that each of the creative days was 7,000 years in duration, hence the hype leading up to 1975. they believed that year marked 6,000 years since adam’s creation, and oh how nicely the 1,000-year reign would fit as the last piece of the puzzle, thus completing the final “day”.

  How did I EVER think it was perfectly normal to have this situation:

  A man is riding a Donkey, all of a sudden it starts talking to him!!!!!

  AND... the man doesnt RUN LIKE HELL away, but instead stands there and has an argument with the donkey??????
  
  OMG HOW STUPID WAS I!!!!!!!!

  Or, were talking donkeys a thing back then?
