thursday, december 8. take your stand against him, firm in the faith.—1 pet.
5:9.. to do that, we need to prepare our mind and heart, to train ourselves now to do what is right.
we do not know what our spiritual warfare may involve in the future.
. Therefore, would it not be wise to do some significant training during a time of relative peace?
I thought the end was near... Didn't they just show a video with a swat team coming into the basement, to do who knows what with JW's??? Their mind games are endless...
The JW.org corporation has great PR staff and writers to come up with this stuff. The writers can't be rank and file JW's, they are paid employees with a benefits package.
i want to share this great article from an informative website on religion and how it is an age old play on emotions and why many are fleeing from religion, including you.
the other insightful articles on this website will help to soothe your complex worries and open your eyes to a great reality.. one love.

LisaRose I never knew you were a mind reader and could determine someone's whole belief system from just a few words...
Your a mind reader alright, just not a very good one... lol
i found this amusing and ironic, but in a nutshell.
stay on the yellow brick road, do as we say and want, and we promise you courage, a heart, a brain and a ticket back home (spirtual paradise now/ physical paradise soon/ resurrection guaranteed )... .
don't ask too many questions or look behind the big curtain, just believe us or you'll fall apart and die... (research or study on your own/internet/ researching the governing body leads to weakness and disfellowshipping).
Dorothy risks losing her only friends in the world, the lion, the scare crow and the tin man if she does not follow the path of the yellow brick road. ( disfellowshipping and loss of friends and family if you don't stay/ so you help each other struggle to follow the mandatory unwavering path and it brings you a false sense of comfort, hope and reality)

Great Obsrvation OTWO
This is true OC the JW's believe in myth as well as many religious people... It just depends on which myth you are ok with believing the most, the WBATS are having a hard time keeping their version of a myth alive in this age of information. Some people are still ok with their delusions.

There are many more correlations, these are just a few that stand out to me. Life imitates art?
has anybody else noticed that almost all the jdubs are super arrogant?
i mean even from just the basic ones to especially the elders and the overseers omg.
they act like they are so high and mighty that you should just worship them.
It's like a mandatory part of the JW persona if you want to make it big time as a SUPER JW, and it is like a competition to see who can be the greatest and most self righteous ass-hole in the congregation... This is the single greatest reason I made my exit. They are supposed to be the only true religion and closely imitating Jesus Christ?! Jesus Christ would have spit in their faces...
*warning this is long* it all started on the last day of the "remain loyal to jehovah" convention.
a little background story, i've been raised as a jw, been in and out of the religon, never baptised but was made an unbaptized publisher about 3 years ago, always felt out of place in the congregation, blamed myself for this because if i had just went to meetings and did all the right things then i would have friends and not be in the mess that i was.
right after becoming an unbaptized publisher i met my now fiance, end up leaving my mother's house to live with him, elders haven't contacted me about my situation even though i'm sure they know as my step father is an elder...but anyway on the last day of the convention my fiance came with me as i was visiting my mother and had planned to go with her and her husband to the convention.
Your not alone my friend. It is a cult. I got out three years ago. You will be just fine. The people in the JW cult are brain washed so don't take anything they do personally. This songs lyrics helped me as I was leaving the cult. attached the link on YouTube.
P.S. Thank you for sharing your story it will help many.
this is a inspirationally great song for those who are escaping and have escaped the jw cult or any form of cult.
i know it has truly aided and helped me.
does anyone know if lauryen hill or her family was a former jw, from the lyrics it may seem so.... https://youtu.be/0hdztvh8mvw.

Cofty your top 5 misconceptions about evolution post, from the website science alert was written by Fiona Mcdonald.
Do you endorse Fiona McDonald? Do you even know who she is?
Is it illegal to think differently from other posters than yourself? LOL
Is this website controlled by people who haven't put their elders hat away yet? LOL
News Flash! Once you leave JW world, no one cares if you have differing beliefs, but it's seems some on this forum are stuck in a JW mindset of controlling others thoughts and beliefs that are differing from your own. I could careless if you believed in a Flying Spaghetti Monster or not. Your thoughts and beliefs are yours, share them or don't share them, I don't care. It seems you do and I sincerely wish you all well with that type of mindset. Cofty It seems that your B.S.- belief system is a lil weak...

Cofty No and No. You are an adult, I hope, and can read, choose and buy what you want, like every adult on this planet.
There is an Ad as I type on this website that wants me to buy a $499 ADT security system. Cofty do you endorse ADT? Cofty do you recommend ADT? Your argument is weak and has gone over my head, I have nothing to do with endorsements or recommendations. I am not your father, who needs to say yes or no... LOL
Cofty it seems I have hit a nerve with you on this subject, have I opened up a Pandora's box for you and put a wrinkle in your B.S. - belief system?
