JW Net and Politics

by snare&racket in

jw

this site was and remains instrumental in assisting people that want to leave the jw's.. there has been political discussion here for some time now, a good couple of years and it makes me feel a little uneasy.

i just opened up the site for the first time in some weeks, of the 10 posts being discussed, 4 were by the same poster, about politics, promoting their right wing beliefs.. this has been the trend for some time now, the same name behind a peppering of posts stirring the right v left of politics.. i remain forever grateful to the site and it's founders simon & angharad, i appreciate that simon shares some of these these political beliefs.

it would be a shame to see the site evolve from a place for jw freedom of thought and escape, to political squabbling, that the world is frankly tired of right now.. just to clarify, politics is my hobby, whilst my friends read the football scores, i'm reading polling data.

Blast from the past. (Just so everyone knows I'm not making this stuff up)

https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/67757/liberal-equals-ex-jw

TD thanks for posting that link up. It was very interesting to see that people back then were basically the same as today.

In fact no different than 2000 years ago when people were upset at the Roman Government and were looking for a King in the line of David.

Along came a man who said he was of the line of David and his Kingdom was going to take control.

Then they killed him.

But the "Idea" of a Perfect Government still exists today.

Looking back a year at Covid

by pistolpete in

march of last year covid was declared a pandemic that would take hundreds of millions of lives world wide.. here are the facts after a year.. the world population is 7,800,000,000 (billions).

114,770,269 millions of people have caught the virus as of today.

aprox 91 million recovered from the virus,.

pistolpete

Yes only 500,000 deaths is the US alone
...and if the governments didn't impose social restrictions, what would have happened ?

The USA has a population of 330 Million-----and they had approx 525,000 deaths in a year

CHINA has a population of Approx 1.5 BILLION PEOPLE and only had 4,600 deaths--LOL

INDIA has a population of 1,38 BILLION and very few care about masks----and they only had 157,000 deaths in a whole year

Why is it that the USA has been in continual lock down for over a year and will continue in lock down EVEN AFTER THE VACCINATIONS????

It's because there is a PLANNED TRANSFER OF WEALTH HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.

People that can't figure it out are losing everything

People who were aware of this, rode to the whale to riches.

aprox 91 Million recovered from the virus,

Only approx 2,554,660 have died of Covid as of today WORLD WIDE.(Some say many Covid Deaths were not Covid related)

(THAT'S LESS THAN 3 MILLION PEOPLE WHO HAVE DIED OF COVID (WORLD WIDE) IN A YEAR)

That’s 3.256832051282051e-4---------of the world population that died of the virus.

Not even close to 1% of the world population

The majority of people that have died of the virus were elderly with medical conditions. The few young ones that died had underline medical conditions.

Compare this to the Spanish flu of 1918 where 50 million deaths worldwide ---- Maybe 100 million considering many bodies were cremated quickly to prevent spreading.

Was Covid really a plague?

What were the lock downs really all about?

In the meantime life went on as usual and we added between 85-100 million new humans to the planet.

Since Myself and our sons left the JW cult, My wife has been M.I.A has a mom and wife

by goingthruthemotions in

i would like to get some feed back from pomo's who's spouse is still pimi.

since myself and our son's left the jw cult.

my wife has been m.i.a has a mom and a wife.

This is a situation that YOU PERSONALLY will have to think about and decide what course will make you happier. You can't base a decision on what the people here post. Some are saying that they stayed with their wife and it worked, but others are telling you that staying with a wife under the influence of the WT cult is the worse thing you can do.

None of that matters because your wife is not the same person as the wives of these posters. Your situation is not the same as their situation.

You are going to have to think about your life and situation and decide what you believe is the right choice to make---for you personally. There are no guarantees either way. You make the choice and live with it.

On the other hand, you don't have to make the choice today.

I personally don't like to ask anybody for any input on serious decisions. I feel that I have a good head on my shoulders and am able to come up with a solution that I can live with--without any regrets.

I left my entire jw family and jw friends when I was about 18. I never looked back. I worked at putting myself in a situation that has brought me much happiness.

Hope things work out for you either way.

Do You Support Trump Being Impeached Again?

it looks like it can happen again and i suspect if it does happen, the senate will not convict either because they can’t convict him since it’s after his presidency or simply because they don’t have sufficient votes..

"Doesn't really matter, the man's political career is over."

LOL, I see you have no idea how politics works in the GREAT USA

Trump will speak on Sunday afternoon, the final day of the conference, which will run from February 25 to February 28, the conference organizer confirmed to Newsweek on Saturday.

The former president will use his time to discuss the future of the Republican party and the conservative movement, according to The Hill. He's also expected to attack President Joe Biden's extensive immigration plan by specifically highlighting "disastrous amnesty and border policies," the publication reported.

by mickbobcat in

pistolpete

One thing I see is if they use the people who are drawn to acting one they will create ~~internal~~ MOVIE stars.

Once they become STARS, they can contribute millions to the Organization just like other cults.

Do You Think Trump Is Done?

friends

certain forces appear to be trying to make sure donald trump never runs for president again.

some republicans are clearly abandoning trump and of course the democratic press has been saying trump is done!

is trump’s goose cooked?

And can turn a whole country without using one bullet........it's called MINDWARS!
They could get you to kill a family member through media......and that's a fact....because we are in "media cult land"

Totally agree!

In fact, the Watchtower is a small example of how a small group of men can influence a group of about 8 million to turn against their own family-----against their own children, parents, close friends.

The human species is not very discerning! They are easily tricked. Especially the masses.

The Genesis account again proved WRONG

by opusdei1972 in

according to the watchtower's insight encyclopedia : .

the catastrophic destruction of men and animals by an overwhelming flood in the days of noah, 2370 b.c.e.

this greatest cataclysm in all human history was sent by jehovah because wicked men had filled the earth with violence.

I get a kick of some exjws who still hold on to the idea that the Bible is God's inspired word. These individuals are still holding on to the idea Jesus became King right after his resurrection and they continue to work meticulously on trying to figure out the meaning of the Gentile times, the last days, and etc.

I was raised in a jw household. But by the time I turned 16 I knew the bible was a book of fairy tales. Think about it, a book based on magical fruit, talking snakes and donkeys, invisible heavenly creatures that materialize fleshly bodies to rape beautiful women. It's a fairy tale book.

Any other book that had these things as a foundation would be considered demonic.

At age 16 I knew that;

There are approx. 9 million different types of species on the earth. Anyone with a little education on math can figure out that the ark was about 1.5 million cubic feet.

The bible says Noah was instructed by Jehovah or YHWH to take SEVEN pairs of clean animals into the ark and TWO pairs of unclean.

Do the Math----

About 40 MILLION ANIMALS that Noah had to squeeze into an ARK that was 1.5 million cubic feet.

IMPOSSIBLE;
