This makes me so angry! How they can use people's emotions to manipulate them is so disgusting.

Watchtower Oct 15 2014
by Listener inthe october watchtower 2014 is now up on jw org.
regarding the new covenant they write.
the governing body sets the scene in the first article by stating how they are like jesus and as humans they are sinless in god's eyes.. then on page 24 they state this.

oh I know it's not logical, that's why it's so ludicrous. I am just amazed at a group of people who think everything is so black and white question absolutely nothing about their belief system. I've been questioning this stuff since I was 8 years old, (that's why I was always watched). It just drives me crazy that my brothers and sister believe so strongly in such blatant lies. Makes me want to scream and laugh madly at the same time....

Here's something that they don't think of which is so ridiculous to me. If a person were to witness the kind of carnage that Armageddon would create, I doubt that they would be sane afterwards. Now if you are counting on Jehovah to wipe your brain then you're basically giving up your free will. If Jehovah can bring his A-game and destroy everything then why not just make the wicked disappear and be done with it? Why all the gore? None of it is logical.

What have you created?
by new hope and happiness ini think it's wonderful that be all posses creative power of thought, and i think this form of creative manifestation comes most commonley in the form of arts.so many posters have mentiond they are writing a book, but i bet some of you create music or make a wonderful soup.. i ask this because i was reading my old school reports and my art teacher wrote " michael is the post constructive, imaginative pupil i have ever had.
his enthusiasm wonders a bit but on the whole an excellent pupil" ....sadly i think if that statement was true i have rather let my self down with my artistic expression.
still it's never to late and i intend to involve myself in my art again this summer..

What was your out of control, sobbing moment with this stupid religion?
by ctrwtf ini have often laughed at public outpourings of emotion.
just google mike schmidt"s retirement speech in which he loses it and blithers on about his career.
completely douche chilling.. but to be honest, i had a moment recently when i literally balled my eyes out.

Being shunned by my brothers and sister. But especially my brother Ryan who is like my twin. It's been years, I get on with things but still have my bad days on occasion. The pain never goes away you just learn how to live with it.

BORN-INS! What Were The Most Annoying Quotes Your Parents Would Say?
by OneStepOut93 inregarding worldly people, shows or toys?
etc...what quotes annoyed you the most?.
for me it was "well, you have to remember, they're worldly"... "don't trust anyone who isn't in the truth" "they may be nice but they are not friends of jehovah"... just a few to name.

My dad was a big fan of 1st Corinthian's 15:33, even when it wasn't relevant I'd hear "Bad associations spoil useful habits".
