i wish i knew what it was like to have an unconditionally loving mother.

i know she loves me and cares about me, but only within her narrow wt spectrum.

if i do not meet her narrow expectations, i am a failure to her.

Saudi Arabia sentences another "apostate to death

i know the gb would love to have the power to do the same to us.

it disgusts me that britain and other western lands lowered its flags to half mast for the death of the king of this theocratic tyrannical state, all while condemning the likes of hugo chavez and muamar gaddafi who were secular leaders who at least recognized womens rights, and never did anything as repulsive as killing someone for changing their religion.

How many JWs really believe the end will come "soon"?
by BU2B in
1. jw
2. friends
this topic has been on my mind lately.

i have been looking around at jws and wondering how many truly believe the end is as near as they are told.

from my personal experience, i know that my parents fully believe the end is imminent and may come any time now.

Attention AMIII! you need to read WATCH OUT FOR SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS- A WT you would never see today!
by BU2B in
1. jw
2. friends
i was reading an article from a '95 wt called "watch out for self righteousness" it exposes amiii as a true pharisee by their own definition.

the style and content sound a lot like ray franz but it obviously was not.

i am confident you would never see an article like this in todays wt land.

i want to start doing a wt review on certain articles.

Obedience is conditional!
by BU2B in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i was just pondering on this matter.

jws pride themselves on being loyal and obedient to the gb "even when it makes no sense from a human standpoint".

what they fail to realize is that obedience is conditional.

The height of delusion on display at last Tuesdays meeting...
by BU2B in
1. jw
2. friends
i literally just sat there with my mouth open.

sometimes the delusional mind of jws takes steroids.. it was during the draw close to jehovah study where they praise the mosaic law and how perfectly wonderful it was.

you should have seen the almost giddy attitude the conductor had and the comments from the audience.

The WT's biggest deception?
by BU2B in
1. jw
2. friends
it just dawned on me that one of if not the most deceptive thing that the wt convinces the members of is that the truth does not stand up to investigation.

they teach that lies trump truth.

the reality of course is something entirely different.
