The language in that article, their vision of 'paradise', the eternal chastisement and need to follow 'instruction'"..... It really would be like living in North Korea. Forever. People would be pining for that test of loyalty when Satan is released, just so they could get out of there!!

August Study WT "Prepare Now to be a Good Little Drone in the New Order"
by JW_Rogue ini thought paradise was supposed to be a delight?
not according to the august study wt, on page 20 paragraphs 4-12 it outlines how much paradise will be exactly like being in the org today.
still following rules, waiting on jehovah and obeying those taking the lead.

If their motive is to find out WHY, they can just come to places like this and see threads like 'what woke you up?' I think it's more about control than research.
interesting that it's Poland. They've been free to worship there only since The early 90's.

Mrs. Eden I just read on your husbands post of all the pressure you are under because of family. You will eventually have to reach deep inside and summon the strength that you have in you to stand up to them and finally claim your own life. For now tho, try to delay this confrontation and establish your own thoughts. Congratulations for your courage to post here!! Welcome!! -

Guardian of Doctrine Admits 'Doesn't Really Matter If Jehovah is Accurate' say it how you want...
by LostGeneration intough to watch this whole video, the way he talks gets pretty annoying, especially after the rc hearings:.
http://tv.jw.org/#video/vodstudio/pub-jwban_201506_1_video.
go to around 8:20 where he gets into the pronunciation of jehovah.

Lol COH, I really wonder what exactly would happen!
They would freak out, for sure...because it's loyalty to the org they really care about, and the org's name starts with 'Jehovah'!
Wouldn't want to be a rebel now, would you? No, the real rebel was Russell, scorning the religious establishment. Luther was a rebel too, starting a Chrisitianity that wasn't part of the Catholic Church. And way before him, was the rebel Jesus, who heartily disagreed with the religious leaders of his time.
But rebels at the Kingdom Hall, not allowed. They might stop talking to you if you said Yahweh.

How I WISH I was never in any sort of file with this organization!!! It's like having your identity stolen, you see the effects years later. Or it's like unwittingly joining the mafia, having to go in the 'witness protection program' (ironic name). Or it's like the CIA or living in McCarthyism, and they've got a file on you somewhere.
If you are lurking and considering joining this religion, heed my words. Want to lose your sense of privacy? Want big brother watching you? Then go ahead.

Historical Meanings of Sheol & Hades
by Perry infor those of you interested in getting to the bottom of the watchtower's teaching on sheol, hades, condition of the dead etc.
; this information is about as good as it gets.
the idea of consciousness after death was widely accepted from israel's earliest times, contrary to what the watchtower would have its members believe.. the lexicographical evidence is so clear that the great princeton scholar, b. b. warfield; stated that with modern hebrew scholars, there is no hesitation to allow with all heartiness that israel from the beginning of its recorded history cherished the most settled conviction of the persistence of the soul in life after death.

In genesis there are many vague mentions of faithful ones being 'gathered to their fathers' after death. It could mean being buried with them, or rejoining them in an afterlife. -

Rogue I remember the 'lovers of freedom' DC, and I DID get the irony at the time! -

What does your baptism mean to you now?
by GiftsinMen ini was baptised on 1st sept 1990, 25years ago today.
it is still a date with deep meaning for me.
i never dedicated my life to serving any man or any organisation, this was my choice - as a grown adult - to serve my god through jesus christ.

I was rebaptized in my new church, because the first baptism was incomplete. Not in the father, son and Holy Spirit. I had dedicated myself to God at the time, and I still feel good about that part. I wasn't thinking about any organization when I made that dedication. But I also believe Jehovahs witnesses aren't real Christians, and their part in the baptism is corrupted, especially because the questions I was asked were after the changes in 1985 and focused on their organization as our silver collecting friend pointed out. I was also pressured to get baptized by family.
This time it was all me, and everything I believed in and my choice. It was also a way of washing away the witness, symbolically.
