UPDATE: Fanatical Mom wants to report me

by Scarlett_Martin in

*** update 2020/11/21 ****.

hello people,.

some time ago i made my first on this forum after i have just woken up.. i was very scared and honestly i am still amazed from the fact that i am still getting replies in the old thread.. here is the link to my previous thread: link.

I am still feeling kinda confused, please send me suggestions! There is still many stuff I haven't accounted and I still don't know how to lead a normal life, even though I have been learning and I am actually having fun for the first time!

It's going to take a while before the confused part goes away. It actually takes a lot of research on religious cults and how they work to mess your mind up. Getting professional help is sometimes very expensive and if you are patient and determined, there are easier, more convenient and cheaper ways of getting help.

I suggest reading Steven Hassan book on mind control. You can get "used" books on Amazon for about $10

Sometime you just have to wait for used ones to become available. DON'T PAY HIGH PRICES for those books There are people that visit Amazon everyday to buy those used books by Steven Hassan and then resell them at prices that are just crazy. Here is one you can get for $11 dollars used. Don't pay more.

Also get familiar with the many false prophesies and changing new light by the Watchtower. This website will help.

Here is a website with some brief videos you will enjoy

One more thing, don't give up your nice paying job just because some jw is making it hard for you. It's good practice to learn how to deal with idiots. There are lots of people besides jws that are idiotic and sooner or later you will run into them. No need to make your life harder by driving longer.

You're more than welcome--- to visit whenever you need help.

The covid vaccine and microchip fears

by BourneIdentity in

why is there a group so fearful of being tracked?

if you carry around a cell phone, your every movement is being tracked, even if you disable it.

court proceedings have shown google and apple can hand all the data over of all your movement.

pistolpete

Were people this stupid before the internet ??

Just stop and consider how dumb the "average" person is. Now realize that 1/2 of them are even dumber (than average).
So, yes. People have always been that stupid.

And just think, these same people have-------NUKES!

So if you poll Twitter about a thing, whether it's vaccines or elections or wokeness, you are more likely to get either the extremists or the trolls,

Or, most likely, 14 year old boys with typical 14 year old boys sense of humour!

Letter read cong is now an association

by Yomama in

jw
friends

what does that mean?.

pistolpete

JW Org would not have to pay out, all liability would fall entirely upon the Congregation, and probably be borne by the Elders.

Actually this is a good thing! The congregation of die - hard believers share the blame for allowing the WT corporation to cover up the thousands of child sex abuse victims, the thousands of deaths because their blood doctrine, and the breakup of thousands of families due to their disfellow-shipping policy.

It's time those who support such a dangerous organization also share in the punishments met out by the coming lawsuits.

I guarantee that when the lawsuits starts digging into the member's individual "Pockets", then they won't be quick to tell us all who have left---------------------------------- 'ALL THOSE LAWSUITS ARE NOT TRUE, it's FAKE NEWS"

The Amazing Solar System

by LoveUniHateExams in

i gotta say, i don't know much about the solar system.

i never was particularly interested in it.. but i've recently read professor brian cox's book (which accompanies a bbc series) and it's completely fascinating.. i'm quite interested in pictures of mars.

martian landscapes seem familiar and different at the same time ….

I took astronomy in College and been interested ever since. Here is something interesting.

Our Solar System, which includes our Sun and the other planets revolving around the Sun is located in the Milky Way Galaxy.

So far, astronomers have found more than 500 solar systems, in our MILKY WAY GALAXY, ---- just like ours, with a Sun, moon, and other planets revolving around their Sun, that may or may not have life, we just don’t know because it would take take 200,000 years for a spaceship traveling at the speed of light (186,000 miles per second) to go across the entire Milky Way Galaxy.

But here is the thing, Scientist are discovering new ones every year. Given how many they have found in our own neighborhood of the Milky Way galaxy, scientists estimate that there may be tens of billions of solar systems in our Milky Way Galaxy alone, perhaps even as many as 100 billion just like our Solar system..

Now something astonishing happened around 2003. They pointed the Hubble Telescope at a patch of sky that had nothing in it but was completely dark and void of anything. And this spot was outside our Milky Way Galaxy.

After some time, the Telescope revealed 10,000 Galaxies just like our Milky Way Galaxy with Billions of Stars just like our sun meaning Billions of Solar systems just like our Solar system with a Planet, a Sun, a Moon, and other planets revolving around their own Sun---and maybe, just maybe, -----intelligent life superior to ours.

Meaning, what we know is vastly outstripped by what we don't know. In other words, we are just at the tip of the beginning of knowledge.

Height of mountains before and after the flood .

by smiddy3 in

it was stated many years ago in answer to how did the flood cover the top of all the mountains on earth in noah`s day.?.

mount everest ?.

and it was explained away by saying that the mountains before the flood were a lot smaller / lower than the mountains that exist today.. so there was no problem .. when the deluge began with so much volume of water now covering the earth ( water being heavy ) pushed down into the weakest parts of the earth and raised up in other parts of the earth to where we now have higher mountains than existed before the flood of noah`s day.. in other words mount everest didn`t exist at its present height before the flood and neither did any other high mountain that exists today ,the topography all changed with the noachian flood.

I don't know where they got the 20 billion from.

Conversation with my PIMI Dad concerning zoom meetings

by joey jojo in

in a recent conversation with my dad, i asked how he was enjoying the zoom meetings.

he lives in a rural part of australia, virtually untouched by covid-19, in fact, the state he lives in has a limit on religious gatherings of 300, which could easily handle the average attendance of congregation meetings.

so i asked why don't they resume meetings as usual?.

pistolpete

This makes sense but also leaves me a little confused as to why they wouldnt want to get back to preaching the urgent good news of the kingdom as soon possible,

Because the Governing Body knows very well that IT'S NOT URGENT!

They know very well that 607 isn't the real date that Babylon was destroyed. Thus they know they aren't living in the last days and couldn't care less about preaching the Good news to warn mankind. On top of that,they know full well that people aren't t going to be coming into the organization like they did in the 60s-80s because the internet has exposed them as frauds.

Their main objective now is to keep as many members IN as possible and baptize as many children as possible to trap them for another 30 years so they can keep contributing financially.

Preaching is not their main objective anymore.

Also their 'truth' has a use by date on it. About 0.5 of a nano second after it has been uttered.

That's true Anna, but they can also stretchhhh their truth into an "Overlapping generation"

How will the rest of the World be affected if America is run by far-left Socialist?

by pistolpete in

america was a power not to be reckoned with.

but lately it seems to be the laughing stock of the world.

what other countries are seeing on the news is riots, calls to de-fund the police, breakdown of society, and elections being over taken with fraud.

Biden by the way is not a far left socialist, he's noted to being a centralist.
He's no Bernie Sanders.

I agree! The Democrats just wanted Trump out. As far as their agenda, I don't think they plan to disrupt the entire country. The people of America are not like the people of Cuba and Venezuela. There is about 400 million LEGAL guns in America and about the same number of ILLEGAL guns. Several million Americans would probably be willing to fight to the death in a guerrilla type of warfare that would claim victims on both sides. As much as antifa and BLM yell about bringing down America, when push comes to shove, nobody wants a civil war.
