What do JW's believe about the Anti Christ? Been out for 20 years, don't remember lol...

by bobfish in

i was watching a video saying with tongue in cheek saying that trump was the antichrist listing all the scriptures and prophecies... was kind of funny but it made me wonder what the heck do jw's believe?

was it that it's other religions or some such garbage?

i don't seem to recall it being a specific person but honestly i don't recall at all.

It had something to do with antichrists, it is not a man. Maybe anyone who opposes the GB? Ah I guess I am healing after-all, when I start forgetting the dogma.

So my PIMO Younger Brother Tried To Kill Himself Today

by pale.emperor in

we all know that this cult will drive those trying to leave to desperate measures, and today by brother was very nearly one of those statistics.

he slashed his thigh with a kitchen knife and was bleeding out until he called the police.. i got a call on my way home from work from a police officer, coincidentally it was one of my old friends from school who's now a cop.

he told me my brother is in hospital after an attempted suicide and has lost some blood but will be ok. but i should get to the hospital as he's asking for me.

pale.emperor:

but he was harassed by elders turning up at his door on Thursday nights, family members telling him he's going to die in Armageddon for talking to me, the CO even said through his letterbox that "i have a bone to pick with you"

One of the HLC "brothers" comes in and tells me that my brother doesnt want to speak to me.

Mum interrupts and says "no, you've made a promise to Jehovah". My brother lies back and closes his eyes.

And that is why he wants to kill himself. Good thing I was not there with you, (I am 6'3'' 200Ib) I would have had a hard time not giving them a valid reason to be at the hospital.

So sorry for him: (been there took several years before I could get through a day without wanting to off myself.) At least he has a brother that still loves him, you I am sure will be a great aid in his recovery.

Bret Weinstein: Evergreen State College Racism Controversy

by Simon in

great discussion, well worth watching.

covers racism, the bubble that some people live in vs the reality that resulted in trumps election and more (and jws get a mention too).. the rubin report (and many of the guests he has on) repeatedly knock it out of the park with sensible, calm and important analysis and commentary on important issues to our society.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-feapcgxnyy.

Kind of cool to see a bit of changing minds here!

My Lawyers Letter To The Elders

by pale.emperor in

for those of you that asked, below is a copy of my solicitors letter to the elders in my old congregation.

he sent a similar one directly to bethel and a medical directive to my daughters gp to go on her medical records that i have already given permission for her to have a blood transfusion should she need one:.

You just just made me think of something. Maybe I have PTSD and not general. I try not to let my Doc know that I have stress issues because I do not like the idea of taking stress. Funny I fear taking something that helps fear. Epiphany moment thanks so much Sail away!!!

Here is the thing: Comic books and such are fake, kids know that. This is a book we are told is real. That god is gonna kill everyone that does not believe in him. I was told god was a good god, but if I was not a good child I would be killed in Armageddon. It is kind of messed up! Movies people know are fake, but our parents brainwashed us into thinking that if we did not believe we would die a horrid death. Its kind of like letting your kids watch beatle juce 3 times a week and telling them that if they say Battle Juice 3 times, that he really will show up. Kids take parents word for things, so if you lie and tell them something bad is gonna happen, they believe you. If you tell them that it is just for entertainment they do not take it as literal. Kind of like that mom who was brainwashing her kids into thinking ALL cops are out to get them. "don't get out of the car" She pulls out a shotgun and points it at the cops, gets shot. Leaves the kid traumatized. Now the little child is gonna think mom was murdered by cops. He will block it out of his mind, but it still has gonna have bad effects on his mind.

Just a reminder about voting

by Simon in

there appear to be some people who are of the mistaken opinion that endlessly clicking the like or dislike button 20x will mean 20x votes.. it doesn't !!!.

only one vote is ever counted.

1 user, 1 vote, each post.

supernerdboy

Lol, ya I did it I think yesterday, I hit the like instead of dislike or visa versa. Then tryed to correct to to the opposite by pressing them both. Then I got 1 up 1 down. Was like shit huge bug. Then went back seen it did not have like 4 ups. Was going to write a post about, seen the votes did not stick. Lots of fun to press the like or dislike button lots of times. Man is it fun to press the button though. ADHD makes it even more fun! So do we get figgit bans now?

Wow, I used to look at this as very young child during ALL the meeting. Even this picture I would stare at empty mindlessly until I was like 8. Child abuse!!! No wounder I have had emotional issues! How did this get passed off as a "great tool for teaching children"? What do they want to teach the kids?

American democracy in crisis

by slimboyfat in

okay cut to the chase.

the united states has got a problem.

hillary clinton is so unpopular that practically any republican who ran against her would probably have beaten her.

supernerdboy

Some stupid bug! It takes my cursor and puts it in a new box every time I type a post. Sometime it will not even let me press the save post button. Then it will not post anything. So to get anything posted I have to press the edit button, some times it then works, other times it will not let me enter text into the box. So then I have to press the cancel button to retry the edit button and see if I can enter text. Then sometimes I have to cancel and reedit it. Quite frustrating! Sometimes a second random blank post. No idea why. Little quirks in this site is what made me want to switch to JWR back in the day. But at the moment this forum is once again the best Ex-JW site.

I am using up-to-date Firefox, windows 10. Not too many addons.
