  How Come the Watchtower does not admit "We Don't Know Anything About Bible Prophecy" and come clean?

  by PokerPlayerPhil in

  so many of us have been caught up in the negative effects this religion placed over our lives and those who we love very much.

  i am the first one to tell my kids "i don't know s&^^ about this or that subject", if the watchtower is truly our brother or spiritual mother why don't they tell us the following questions we all have asked them?.

  1. we screwed up about 1914 and "life is short, go live your life to the fullest while maintaining justice and morality, don't hurt your fellow man by making his life screwed up!.

  i've watched the reaction to the nepal disaster for the first time with eyes opened.

  lots of comments about praying for the brothers and sisters affected.

  the official release on the website references only the sister and her two children that died, along with the impact on the brothers there.

  DHOH, charity to help the suffering is just TOO WORLDLY!!! I mean that's shocking!!! You are being like everyone in the world. We are NOT going to give our precious money to HELP people, what are you thinking??? Of course we didn't like your link!! And get real, dont you know what you are doing is like pouring Dixie cups of water onto the sun??? This whole system is going DOWN, if you care about people REALLY, you need to do the real lifesaving work of placing literature.

  The poor and deprived life of JW children.

  i find it hard to believe that adults on this forum make such a big deal about not celebrating birthdays, x-mas, easter, halloween, etc, etc, etc.

  i grew up as a jw kid and it actually made me feel good, being different from the other kids in school.

  we went to meetings.

  I like holidays in part because you feel part of the larger community. Going to the local christmas play, trick or treating in the neighborhood, Thanksgiving when everyone else is doing it...recognizing the passing of the seasons is natural. To do it in the greater community feels satisfying in sort of a primal way.

  They only care about the people going through illness, war, or natural disasters when they list statistics to try to prove the world is ending. Oh, it's Soooooo bad you have to come join us. But really, they don't care. Like pixel said, it's what they want.

  just wondering, how many wives of elders had influence?

  by sowhatnow in

  id wonder how many wives of servants had the upper hand so to speak, on issues, that of course, were supposed to be private, yet gee lets be honest, husbands and wives talk.

  its nature.

  so if you were a wife of a servant how much did you get involved?

  That's a great questions swn!

  I feel like in some couples, where the wife had a particularly strong personality, and the husband a weaker one, the wife did have an influence and could find things out if she wanted to (let's face it, women can be quite the amazing Delilah style manipulator when they want to be.)

  sofia, I am hoping something changes for you...that your husband experiences or sees something that rocks his little world, so that it will wake him up and you can be free.

  "Normal family affections and dealings" continue - If only?!?

  2. beliefs

  i am new to this forum - it is only a couple of weeks since i have allowed myself to acknowledge and research my doubts.

  i am trying to be fair by reading both sides of the story and considering jw official explanation of confusing matters.

  one of the issues i have been looking at is shunning - and i was shocked to see the misleading information about shunning on the jw.org website: .

  'What have these people done to my brain!!!!!!!!'

  Thats quite a realization, huh? Once you step away from it and start to see clearly, while sometimes still having anxiety they might be right, and the old thoughts popping up occasionally, but KNOWING they're not right, it's kind of freaky realizing how the mind control worked. These thoughts get further and further apart, the longer you are away from them.

  Saw my first JW literature cart

  by undercover in

  i saw a jw literature cart, and two dubs standing behind it this weekend.

  they set up at a popular well attended event in a small town that brings thousands of people from around the country.

  even though i've been out and away from jws for some time, and no longer identify as one of them, and the people i was with had no clue, it was a bit embarrassing to see the cart and cult zombies with it.

  When I've seen them they have been standing by their carts, young pioneer types, very engaged in conversation, gossip probably. Way off to the side, nobody was going to approach them. Total waste of time, but then again, what do I care if their meaningless literature doesn't get placed. They get to report their hours and feel holy.
