this thread is for you to vent about anything (within guidelines) that you want.. i'll start.. i'm sick of people who complain about how cold the weather is and then you have two 85 degree days and now they can't wait till autumn!.
I hate that my parents ever heard of this religion.
I hate that it is such a hateful religion.
I hate that after being awake for 2.5 years, I still have not succeeded in helping my wife get out.
I hate that I just wasted several days of my life and THOUSANDS of dollars going to the RC.
Vent over.
Other than that, can't complain
i don't understand why so many ex jws and faders think that the jws will continue to grow and thrive as a religion.
i still attend a meeting once a week and you can smell the death of the religion creeping up when you hear the talks, read the study wts and hear the letters from the gb.
the way the organization has changed is a sign that it reached its peak (in "healthy" membership) long ago.
Yep I agree with LG. The org is here to stay, unfortunately. They have their mind control techniques down, and will continue to keep our friends and family captive and with "cleansed minds".
"the transition zone can hold a lot of water, and could potentially have the same amount of h2o [water] as all the world's ocean.".

i figured when people read this that there will be those claiming proof of the flood story.
JWs still teach that the earth had a vapour canopy prior to the flood. Seriously. It was actually reiterated by some nutcase on the platform at the recent RC. So JWs won't likely be jumping all over this.
i would be interested to know if the announcement came of an immenent nuclear war would you start praying or get drunk etc etc..
And what exactly would talkjng in my head to a figment of YOUR imagination accomplish? Even if Gawd were real, he wouldn't do anything about it.
What is it with you religious folks? Many seem to think that atheists are just that way because they don't want to answer to anybody. When we're in trouble we'd jump right on the delusional bandwagon. I can assure you that's not the case.
I have better things to do Thanks.
wtf .
the st. louis archbishop embroiled in a sexual abuse scandal testified last month that he didnt know in the 1980s whether it was illegal for priests to have sex with children, according to a court deposition released monday.
archbishop robert carlson, who was chancellor of the archdiocese of minneapolis and st. paul at the time, was deposed as part of a lawsuit against the twin cities archdiocese and the diocese of winona, minnesota.
Good point, Keyser.
At what point does a "man of god" decide what is the law and what is moral? Shouldn' the be even more equipped than the average man being "morally guided" by the bible? Shouldn't he have a stronger moral/ethical compass than most?
for me, that happy day was in morro bay, calif. it was the fall, oct 1958 or 9. gorgeous weather.
the sun was shining and the wind was coming off of the ocean.. at that time, morro bay was unassigned territory.. talesin on another thread was talking about a lovely day she had, going with her grandfather, talking with a mr languages.
lol.
Never. Didn't enjoy a minute of it. Beautiful day, shitty day, didn't matter.
how do ya figure this!??.

With JWs cheating comes in waves. Once one or two start in a cong or area, several more unfaithful spouses are found out. A year later, all back under the rug
the study article imitate the faith of moses study article, is the same old blah that they always have.
moses, a guy who lived 4000 years ago, did.
something when he was 40 years old when he was in egypt and when he was in the wilderness at the burning bush, an angel communicated with him.. .
Is this the same Moses that happily committed genocides at yahweh's bidding?
The same Moses who after coming down from the mountain carrying the tablets containing the Ten Commandments, found the Israelites dancing around a golden calf? Got so mad he ordered them all killed. Stopped after 30,000 people died. Only 30,000! How loving. Great example to follow.
Gotta love the bible. Imitate Moses and you'll be in prison where you belong.
the truth is within you and god himself teaches us all the truth.we cannot find it in a building or religion.
the fusion between humankind and god was sealed by messiah in the 1st century.
until many recognise the kingdom within there will always be divsions,confusion, etc etc.
Mmk
i had a relative exhort me to attend sunday am of the rc, to which i said no, already read the points online.. i said that i find this decade to be the most enjoyable.. people are relaxed, people have piercings, tats, hair colour du jour, facial hair, yoga pants (okay, not so great with the people of walmart videos), etc., and no one gets a second glance.. the music is awesome, movies are pretty good.. everyone still has their trials and tribulations, bad relationships, economic swings, etc.. but i feel happy.. the posted highlights from sunday am were:.
anticipate future kingdom blessings!.
a world without satan (revelation 20:2,3,7,10).
Best in human history. yes there are still problems, there always will be. But the happiness of the manority of humans is only growing. I want nothing more for my life except for the WT to disappear spectacularly.
