If Jesus was alive today, how would they welcome him and his message? How do they dare to call themselves Christians?

unanswerable questions

by outsmartthesystem in

hey all...... i have decided to compile a list of questions that jws simply cannot answer without opening up a vulnerability.....such as.

1) if jesus is only mediator for the 144,000 then who is the mediator for the rest of us?

2) plasma is one of the four main components of blood and cannot be taken.

This documentary proves the point that people can be manipulated to believe almost anything if presented by a bunch of experts (or actors), mermaids being an extreme example.

Those who control information control the world.

Mermaids may not exist but we live in Oceania.

Do you believe in Love?

by freeflyingfaerie in

maybe you are an atheist.. maybe you are agnostic.. you have left a cult, left behind an entire belief system, complete with detailed instructions on how to live..rules to follow for every aspect of your very life.

you know it was a big lie.. you are now naked, staring at your soul.

just you, just your own thoughts, just your own voice, your own feelings.

Give in to love, or live in fear.

Yes, I believe in love.

I wrote a D.A. letter

by snakeface in

i used to be very active int he organization, "high profile" so to speak.

always taking the gorup out in service, always having parts on the platform etc etc.

almost 5 years ago, i simply did not show up anymore.

Very good ideas witchtowerwitch, you could also wear a big cross on your neck the next time they come to your door, it used to scare vampires away in previous centuries.

Would you ever go back for the fake friends ?

by Pitchess Co-Gen in

to quote the great rapper t.i this statement hit home : "never forget the people who stayed when everyone else left.. stay true to your team".

i had a lot of people leave my side three years ago; because some of my "phony homies" began to listen to my ex-finance spreading rumors about me and my family.

so to make a long story short i lost a lot of "friends" from my old way of life, but i picked up some true homies , and reconnected with a true homie in the long run.. i just had to ask that question because some of us were popular while we were in or we weren't the social butterflies.

Go back? I couldn’t even if I tried, which is not the case.

I am sure all my “friends” would drop me like a hot potato the moment I got disfellowshipped without even knowing the reason why.

I still meet with some of them from time to time, but I am very aware that it is a superficial relationship and take it for what it is.

The Fear of Regret & Apostasy

by Emery in

first off a big thanks to everyone here, you have received me with much love and support.

i appreciate all that have contributed their time and hardwork over the years here at jwn.. this post here is directed to those who are on the fence like i was.

i hope this helps you in some way to understand both the doubts and indoctrination.. i am also currently an active jehovahs witness and have been for almost 20 years (26 years old).

I wish I had left when I was 10 years younger, but I am free now and I am grateful.

Do you wear your mark proudly....

by Momma-Tossed-Me in

jw
friends

at times in histroy the ruling classes have used marking or tatooing as a mark to notify the public of how to respond or be warned with regard to the individual bearing the mark.. in some cultures this marking practice has caused more problems than it solved.

these individuals have banded together and gained influence among the populace, some for good purpose, some for bad.. i would like to think that our collective purpose is good.

our purpose should be educational, informing those who are in, and out, that this organization has lost god's approval if it ever had it at all.. inorder to do that we must not shrink away from those who are in when we see them in public.

I wear the scarlet letter as a badge of honour. It is far more beautiful than the 666 hanging at the door of the KH.
