Evangelists - TV or not
by LouBelle inso every now and again i can stomach a 5min watch.
that is my limit though!
i am amazed (but then again perhaps not) that the masses these guys preach too are so taken in with the theatrics.

Does the GB actually believe it all?
by schnare indo you guys think that the gb actually believes the garbage that they print?
how could they actually believe their new "overlapping generation" doctrine?
wouldn't they have access to anything ever printed and have knowledge of all the false prophecy?

They are obviously not the brains of the operation but they are necessary collaborators, I wont defend them. But I don't think they are the ones running the show, and if worse came to the worse they will be fed to the lions, while the real culprits would never be found out most likely.
They are sleeping with the enemy, ask the pope. Watch out for the bethelites that surf this pages stirring a fire here and there, and posting confidential documents from the society in an apostate site. Think about it, what’s their agenda?
This is probably far bigger than we think, personally I do feel like a pawn sometimes.

Has The Prophecy of The Faithful Slave Been Fulfilled?
by Este in48but if ever that evil slave should say in his heart, my master is delaying,49and should start to beat his fellow slaves and should eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards,50the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know,51and will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his part with the hypocrites.
there is where [his] weeping and the gnashing of [his] teeth will be.. who is the master of the "evil slave"?
jesus christ is not evil therefore it has to be satan.

The slave is neither faithful nor evil, but he can act either way. Jesus does not answer the question, so he leaves it up to the slave to decide how he chooses to behave.

Still thinking, we can start with what is closer to us, ourselves. And from there move ad infinitum…

What would you have to do for them to leave you alone? I don’t feel comfortable with the idea of them keeping tabs on me, even now after I stopped going to the meetings, let alone when I give them my disassociation letter which is going to be very soon. I think we have the right to know what this organization is about.

Still thinking, you are right, we don’t know what’s out there, and we blow our own trumpets too much (some more than others), but compared with unanimated matter rightly so.
Personally I believe in God because all of this has to have an origin, an ultimate cause and He has to be far superior to any of His creations, in this case ourselves. But this is just my opinion.

I suppose it’s not a question of size, the earth is a small garden in an immense desert. Each and every human is more valuable than millions of galaxies with all of their stars. Still the vastness of the Universe is humbling. God is no one to be mocked.

Who or what are you most angry at, when it comes to your situation in relation to JW Org?
by BreathoftheIndianNose ini've been receiving very bitter messages from jws i know, mostly my mother, but also others that know how to contact me electronically.
sometimes i find myself mad at her, though not displaying it.
but i know it's really not her or my fathers fault.

I have forgiven myself, I was still a minor when I got baptized and I sincerely wanted to know the Bible and serve God the right way. I didn’t know what I was getting into like nobody does. I am angry with whoever runs this cult and whoever has taken advantage of my good faith during the years I was dumb enough to stay in. Them, I don’t forgive.

I AM THINKING OF BECOMING A CULT LEADER- ANY SUGGESTION?
by Mr Facts ini am quite impressed at the power the gb wields globally and it prompted in me the strong desire to start my own religious cult.
i wouldnt any hurt anyone though, my goal is just to experience the privilege that power and authority gives and in the process grow financial empire.. i am presently putting down some strategies down in paper and i have been watching many videos on youtube and accessing cult-related materials, learning from cult leaders arround the world and observing their modus operandi.
please if you do have any suggestion, freely offer it, i will appreciate it so much.. .

You need to be a bit of a psycho, the rest will be easy. And be discreet, don’t make it too obvious how much you are actually getting laid, likely your followers wont.
