How Will They Keep JW Youths In?

by minimus in

jw
friends

is it possible for today's youths to remain in the religion?.

jemba

I have never seen so many kids in the JWs living such double lives so comfortably.

My little sis is 18yrs younger than me and watching her and her generation celebrating whatever they can get away with, getting drunk often, swearing quite openly and listening to music and watching movies and many other things I could never have lived with myself doing.

I see them at school, on the internet and even at the meeting getting away with so much (mainly cause the elders havent found out)

I used to think how balanced they were- as I and my gen was scared to do anything to invoke gods/elders/parents wrath. Now however I think they are only hanging in there for their family and friends and dont believe half of what they are being taught.

My sis is newly married now and starting to notice how much all the JW crap is taking her away from the fun things. Life is becoming more complicated for these 18-25yr olds with work, relationships/marraiges and leisuretime all competing with the amount of time they need to spend on 'theocraptic' stuff.

I hope it is only a matter of time till JWs lose all these lovely young people to their lies and time wasting activities.

I cant wait to see it and be there for the young people when they leave.

Known Pedophile takes young boy to bathroom at circuit assembly....WTF?

by QuestioningEverything in

my mil's circuit assembly was this past weekend.

she came over for dinner to our home after the assembly.

in conversation, it came up that a known pedophile was seen walking to the bathroom holding a young boy's hand-no relation to the boy at all, although that wouldn't make a difference!

Yes the MIL did the typical Witness thing and didnt cause waves. Let Jeh and the elders take care of it, yeah like they always have.... not! At least write to the BOE anon and pretend to have seen this first-hand and state your concern. The worst case scenario is that MIL got it wrong. Yes if you can I would def let the study know, even if by letter.

Is the average Jehovah`s Witness judgemental ?You tow the line you get blessed ,if you dont get blessed you must be doing something wrong.

by smiddy in

it was another thread that prompted me to start this one , not appropiate for the former thread.

and it`s because the wt often promotes that jehovah/jesus protects and looks after his loyal followers ,that when something adverse occurs , the suspicion/judgement is "oh they must have been doing something wrong that nobody knew about, but you cant hide it from jehovah."mentality.

i`m sure you have.. smiddy.

jemba

Stay home from the meeting and the roof caves in killing you.... Shoulda been at the meeting under Gods protection.

Out preaching, car load of Witnesses killed by a car running a red light....where was god then?

They make up stories to prove their theories right.

When will they realise that a loving God is not going to help sell Bro Righteous house in record time and let some poor heathen child die in the gutter.

To think that they believe this crap... they must really think they are special and above everyone else for God to give them their stupid insignificant blessings.

WT is a cash cow for who? do the GB know they are frauds?

by thecrushed in

as i've understood it the gb has taken a vow of poverty.

on jwn they are constantly accused of guilt tripping their subjects to keep distributing there literature to make converts in order to keep growing the number of donations which is a valid point.

i ask this question in all honesty and naivety to see where the truth of the matter lies.

jemba

Well if they believed their own crap they would know that soon theyll be throwing their money in the street because it is valueless. Then in the paradise they wont need all the accumulated wealth anyway. So maybe they see this system going on longer than regular JWs think....... idiots!

This is making the witness email rounds...Anyone believe them?

by Botzwana in

does jehovah know what is going on, and does he help?.

(as told by bro.

spangenberg, c.o.

jemba

btw.. my Dads excuse for this is.. time and unforseen occurences, if he saved everyone then JWs would be perfectly safe and everyone would want to join for the wrong reasons... Yeah I know.. OMFG. Their bizarre reasoning is crazy. Remove the tree but let the carload of pioneers die in a freak accident, yeah way to choose the better miracle to perform!!

Steve2 put it the best 'small scale tripe in a world of tragedy and trauma'.

This thread is one of the biggest problems I had with the org. Since I was around 10yrs old I had trouble with these stupid 'experiences'. We also had the CO read them out to us about 6 yrs ago.

God helps them build KH's easily or cheaply but little 'unfaithful' children die everyday from starvation and disease?

There is no way God is doing anything for anyone IMHO. For some reason he is sitting back folding his arms and just watching it all play out down here.

The last bunch of stupid 'experiences' the CO gave us made me ask my parents why the poor little boy in Australia died on the way to the meeting when someone ran a red light, why didnt God keep the family home that night. Or the teenage boy in the UK had just finished witnessing and went to the shop for sweets on the way home when a car drove through the shop. Why couldnt god have kept him on that last door just 2 minutes longer. (Although having said that, he died because of his refusal of a blood transfusion).

There is NO WAY a loving God would be miraculously intervening in some situations to save time or money and not actually help someone about to die?

This site is so good to get a feel for what really stilll disturbs you about the org. I am really angry about this topic... Something I gonna need to work through.
