Regional Convention

by raven in

so how many are not going to the regional convention this year?

it will be my first year not attending as part of my fade.. i remember going for all of my childhood into adult hood, participating in stage parts even.. however, last assembly i was already mentally checked out.

i remember looking around and seeing all of people bobbing & nodding at the program talks that had been previously repeated time and time again.. almost seemed like hypnosis.. i also had a hard time with the fact that we're all supposed to be "friends" and everyone had always seemed to be so judgmental.. especially at conventions & assemblies.. things like who had the best outfit for the days, who looked the prettiest, who can snag the single ms brother.. who took the most spiritual food out of the program, how many times can you tally mark jehovah's name.

This year I feel kind of tempted going ....

...I did that some years ago with the result that

I felt inconvenient, I had to hide my identy and played an interested person who for the first time attended a big convention, then I saw of course someone I knew distantly. I didnt want to meet someone of my former cong. I was assigned to a place next to a 10 year older couple from another part of the counry and they shared there songbook or wt with me. After the closing prayer they gave me there address.

The drama about returning to God was emotional and I had tears in my eyes when we sang some new songs.

Tears because the songs were emotional and I understood....

I didnt want to return to JW ORG but understood really deep in this moments, that JW ORG doesnt have the truth about Jesus and that Jesus must even be very sad how they use Jehovah falsely as prophet of armagedon and over the fact that JW would perhaps never understand how much they are loved by the real father of eterny Jesus.

Pshycos! - 2016 "Remain Loyal to Jehovah" Regional Convention Program

by thedepressedsoul in

wow this is interesting!

i think how much emphasis this puts on "loyalty" shows their is an issue.

they're trying to plug the wholes as much and quickly as possible.

Missing: "Remain Loyal :

- As shunned lost little sheep in different difficult phases of disassociation

1. facing the evil eyes of the wolves

2. facing the mockery

3. bearing the misery of loneliness

- As lost son remembering your father while brothers are disfellowhipping you because you smoke weed and swig and waste the money who the father invested in panama.

Cant await to make marginal notes in the bible pages again each time the word Loyality appears.. I should ultimately catch what is the current and latest understanding of the slave about what loyalty means this year 2016.

So I IMITATE the slave who the best eample of faithfulnesss and service and shun wrong behaviours snd wrongdoers who read the bible and think independentwhile permanently i await new lights from a single word, a new fascinating insight perhaps better than last year.

Thank you slave that you did this great job to merge all appearances of loyalty into one singleprogram, the best ever, really necessary food for this year, we wont forget in our brain.

It must be the only true religion, if they even dont fear to speak about shunning publicly. They are not shutting up and have no fear of man. Like jesus.

New Feature on JW Library

by neat blue dog in

there are a couple new tabs on the app, one of which is the 'meetings' tab.

can you guess what the other one is?.

.

TheWonderofYou

Thats for the free public speech on sunday, while media production& library as well as online content keeping up to date for educational reasons is an expensive service.

Donations can be made privately thats easier online at home.

While in the meetings nobody is disturbed by thoughts about empty purses of widows

No cash mashines soon in the meeting and assembling halls and more silent last wills anonymously, may it come!

Demon possesion, bunch of crap or?

by raven in

i've been using the forum to vent and post a lot more frequently lately as a venting purpose & way to obtain peace of mind with the craziness i've been going through recently as i fade away form the org.

anyways today i'm sitting here at work and thinking to myself about demons... ok i know this sounds crazy but has anyone else out there been traumatized by the thought of demons?

i had a dream the other night, just flat out spooky and i woke and couldn't help but feeling it may have been evil ole' satan and his demons at it again.. i don't want to believe that, (trying not to, & just brushing it under the rug so to speak) but have any of you out there been talked up about demons?

TheWonderofYou

Today we have TV series, ghost & demons horror movies, war & crime series, hounters creepers, thrillers, ghostbusters and hundreds of fantasy books with vampirs and all kind of mightful mad characters.

Human anxiety about the evil and the absolute evil is a reality and is deep in us. We like to act out the dramatic reality of evil in our imagination. That is simply how we deal with the possibilty that the infinite evil exists and what we would do if we came in that situation. Its thrilling and fascinating to watch and even to play.

Each culture and religion had its demons and customs and perhaps they were naive for our modern understanding but it always turned around the really existing evil or the mad nature and that human could change their character and went the way to their and others ruin

"Death will be no more" - ONLY earthly blessing?

by TheWonderofYou in

todays daily text refers to a new?

explanation for doorkeepers that "death will be no more" would only refer to an earthly blessing, because it would be logically according to the text that in heaven no one ever died or death had never been there.

seems like wishful argument for the earthly paradise.. dont forget the 144000 members of the heavenly class that will receive heavenly blessing after death and used for decades rev.

TheWonderofYou

Yes I am glad to know of the blessing that God is coming out of heaven is close to us, even so close that God calls the mankind - the bride of christ - with a special name "city of God", Gods "New Jerusalem".

That is an indication that within the congregation the hope of new jerusalem becomes visible already in the present time, because the bride of christ already exists now and not only after the millenium.

It means too that the congregation is called to become a happy city, to the symbol of living together in peace and interpersonal relationships.

All men and people of the earth are in this image already now gathered in this city - a city that is quasi gods dwelling or tent on earth (Rev. 21,3).

Its clear that these earthly blessing are earthly, and I personally believe in earthly blessings, and I believe that some are happening now, as jesus is already king, and the coming of others we will have to expect what will come.

I was quite irritated too by the course of the events from now on until the "new heavens and new earth", what would be the last blessing and would not happen before the 1000 years of horrible examinations have ended.

I always thought that soon after the 1000 year paradise would begin, the resurrection would start and that was for me same as the "tears will be no more, death will be no more" becoming true. (21:4)

But in reality in the course of events as presented in Revelation this "earthly blessing" is not happening within the 1000 years at all, but only after them. Revel. 21:1-4 is the ultimate event.

Thats the big problem that arises: That "Tears will be no more, death now more" is part of a single event once happening as last dimension in the "new heavens and new earth" and not before ...

But the 1000 year millenium is taught to happen before the new heavens and new earth will come into existence and it would last 1000 years. And as the the millenium is not the same as the new heavens and new earth how could death be no more be part of the milllenium?

This would lead to the thesis that the resurraction in the millenium of unrightous is not the end for the adamic death yet, and that people will die in the millenium, no ever regenerating bodies, no automatic healing the rising unrighteous but they will have to wait for the Heavens&earth event to become again resurrected.

Since such a multiple resurraction and dying would be senseless, something in the whole stories does not fit together

Another generation....

by joey jojo in

it has been 21 years since the 1995 article that pretty much buried the idea of the '1914 generation'.. remember those guys?

the ones born in 1914 that would still be alive when the end of the system arrived.. i'm glad i'm old enough to remember going from door to door, preaching this belief.

the reason i say that is because i have a lot of 'still in' jw friends and family.

TheWonderofYou

There is a reason why JW systematically are not allowed reading old litereature of their own religion, it is even sanctioned to study old books of watchtower, because reading old books would lead to complete desillusion in the membership, because the changing doctrines are not a sign of progress in enlightenment but of something else.
