  in my first kingdom hall, the elders were ultra conservative.

  our presiding overseer used to be a zone overseer.

  the second hall i was in was moderate.

  Four Blood Moons might be significant

  by CharlieSmith1975 in

  the bible does say that the "day of jehovah" (armageddon) would be associated with the sun becoming dark followed by the moon turning to blood.

  but the moon turning to blood is specific to a total lunar eclipse.

  Charlie, I think you're a bit crazy. I think you've had a hard life. If you had been allowed to live the way you were born to live, you wouldn't have been like this, but much more at peace. Bad luck that you were in this extremist religion. You've become obsessed with it. The complexities of it, which are absurd, have you all strung out. Jesus loves you the way you are. Don't dwell on scewed witness interpretation of bible prophesy. You have a nice face and are a pretty girl.

  by Garrett in

  1. jw

  so, first off, after my learning ttatt i've been feeling so much better!

  my depression is gone, i'm so much more motivated, i can do everything i've always wanted to do but was forbidden from doing.

  now, my best friend is still in, however, i feel that he may have a chance at waking up.

  I completely agree...don't make it a huge deal about the religion, just say you are sorry, you were going through a hard time and you miss him. Keep it lighthearted, but subtly suggest you are much happier without the meetings etc.

  by the way, I remember the state you were in when you wrote before, and I'm really glad you're doing better.

  The beginning of the end for shunning?

  by Saltheart Foamfollower in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the borg seem to prepare for changes by missing explanations out for a while then presenting a "new understanding" which doesn't contradict the most recent discussion.check out the most recent references to gog - no identification as satan.. in today's wt study, paragraph 15 concerning benefitting from the prodigal son stated "if we meet a person who has strayed from the congregation, will we offer loving and practical help to assist him to return?

  " there is no footnote or other qualifier saying not to go to disfellowshipped ones (who are definitely the ones being talked about) which is still the official policy.

  i know this isn't an ending to shunning, but it may signal the start of the preparation for a change.

  They often say friends and relatives 'choose' not to associate with df'd ones. So even if they are forced by law to forego this 'arrangement', they can still say it is the decision the members make not to associate with their families...and they will quietly make sure that happens.

  Why Armageddon Now?

  by Garrett in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've been thinking and here's what i've come up with.

  correct me if i'm wrong, but in the bible does it not state that the word would have to be preached throughout the entire inhabited earth for a witness to all people and then the end would come?.

  with the world being as vast as it is today, it would be practically impossible for the witnesses to speak to everyone in the world.

  I never had bad elder bodies in the cong's I was in. My friends did. The ones I had were good people, trying to survive their heavy workloads and the society's commands. Of course some were more conservative than others. But Personally, all my problems with this religion come from the top. I love most of the elders I've known and feel empathy for them. I've seen many who are too full of themselves, the big fish in their small ponds...but they were always somehow in neighboring congs.

  But the 'developing world' can't afford to finance what the society requires. They need developed countries to sustain their cash flow. If the only growth is third world and perhaps poor immigrants to first world, they're in trouble.

  Managing a doomsday cult

  by Half banana in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the wtbts have only one objective: to keep their religious engine on the tracks.

  the pastoral care of their followers (although they would publicly deny it) is right at the bottom of their priorities.they demand abject loyalty.

  as a matter of sociological fact the subscribers to the watchtower belief are on average placed at the lowest rung of the income ladder and in the bottom category of the least educated of religious groups.

  God does exist here is my nonbiblical reason:

  2. experiences

  (before you read i hope no one gets offended by the word retarted...that s how i thought when i was 13)my mom and dad are divorced and my father never helped my mother on raising us, so basically she was a single-mother.

  he just abandoned my three brothers and me and my mother had to work two jobs all of the time so we never got to see her.

  when we did see her it was after school, but all she did was yell at us, make food, and leave to her next job.

  I'm Christian and also believe in evolution, it doesn't necessarily have to be one or the other unless you're a fundamentalist.

  Curious, good luck to you on your journey. You can come talk anytime.
