page 342-343in the postwar "new order" jerusalem's modern counterpart, "christendom," will surround herself with armies of an international police force for her continued world domination.

the roman catholic hierarchy will attempt to act as the.

Internally rolling my eyes.. Get this

by raven in

a bit of an update, last weekend was my great grandmothers funeral, now, she was never a jw, and never was going to be, no matter how hard my mother, and grandmother tried to preach to her, she was the type of person that would kindly accept a wt or a book, but she wouldn't bother reading them.. anyways, she was a great wonderful and inspiring woman, the funeral was extremely sad, she had been a school teacher for over 35 years and a member of various clubs, so there were a lot of folks besides family that attended.. well, anyways i was there and so was my jw mother, stepfather, and grandmother, we were cordial, didn't talk about anything jw related because, it was great grandmothers funeral, not really a time to discuss how i am an evil sinner, or how i've escaped the org by avoiding df'ing, right?

wrong, as i'm sitting waiting for the service to begin, a lady shows up, now- i have known this woman for a long time, apparently she baby sat me as a small child, (like i remember?

) so she isn't someone i was ever close with, but knew of her or when she was around would say hi to and make small talk.. to give you a tid-bit on her personality though, she is one of those crazy jw's.. she claims to have been possessed by a demon, very very wacky on the prophesies, or gb talks, etc.

I'm so sorry for you! That is terrible to live through.

Flip Flops to Nowhere

by Lostandfound in

how long until wt has flip flopped its way back to anything of the faith many of us knew?

who are the now dead ones giving evidence of their non captivity to babylon etc?

i would not recognise what goes on in a kh now and i was in since 60s when we had firm beliefs, now being eroded little by little.

Cults. You don't know you're in a cult, until it is too late.

The goal in all this 1918/1919 change?

by careful in

as some have recently posted here, there does seem to be a shift going on in their self-interpretation(s) of what happened in 1918 and 1919. if we can look past all the details that emphasize the poor thinking and poor wording (or contradictions/just plain craziness/insignificance) of their message, something bigger seems to be afoot.

they appear to be attempting to redefine the meanings for some "prophetic" scriptures in light of themselves.

1. they are trying to somehow fill the void they have themselves created from their rejecting freddie franz's (ff) type–anti-type postulations.

The overlapping generations teaching is the biggest piece of s**t I have ever seen from the JW cult.

A Beard Maverick

by EyesOpenHeartBroken in

so i went to the kh for the first time in a month, and the first brother in our congregation has grown a full beard.

i am in a western u.s. semi-rural area in a cong with an extremely conservative and controlling elder body.

oddly enough, it seemed like people were going out of their way to converse with him and act like they didn't notice the beard or they complimented the beard.

Ok so it is interesting that you are talking about this today! Although I am already out of the JW cult mentally I pretend to be in when talking to family and friends so my friend told me about another brother in the hall who has been wearing a beard for 2 weeks. Suddenly another brother started to wear one also. The elders noticed this trend, contacted the branch for advice. I do not have any more info but my guess is they will try to quash this out ASAP! They must not let this spread! Oh no! The terrible evil beards!

Crazy First Human-Pig Hybrid Created in the Lab—Here Are the Facts

i do not post ot topics on here but i think this could relate to the jw cult because i remember a brother gave a talk long time ago and he said that jehovah would never allow man or science to play with crossing genes and if humans start to do this then we need to find a new religion.

well.... here it is.. now i also want to say, if jehovah cared so much about all this human suffering then why does science seem to be the one who actually cares about fixing thing?

jehovah does nothing.

I do not post OT topics on here but I think this could relate to the JW cult because I remember a brother gave a talk long time ago and he said that Jehovah would never allow man or science to play with crossing genes and if humans start to do this then we need to find a new religion. Well.... here it is.

Now I also want to say, if Jehovah cared so much about all this human suffering then why does science seem to be the one who actually cares about fixing thing?

Jehovah does nothing. Science is working to give sight to the blind, make the lame walk again, make the mute talk again, make the deaf hear again! NOT Jehovah!

Anyways here read for yourself ;)

In a remarkable—if likely controversial—feat, scientists announced today that they have created the first successful human-animal hybrids. The project proves that human cells can be introduced into a non-human organism, survive, and even grow inside a host animal, in this case, pigs

I will only believe in demons if...

by deegee in

jws are known to have an obsession and preoccupation with demons.. this obsession and preoccupation is not without merit given that jesus, his disciples/apostles, and the general public of 1st century ce judea and galilee are reported as believing in the existence of demonic spirits and in the possibility of demon possession of an individual.. exorcism formed a large part of jesus' ministry on earth.

the gospels and the book of acts describe many exorcisms where jesus and his disciples release people from demonic possession.. ___ .

but how do demons get inside a person's brain or body?

I still love to hear from family who believe about the story of the Blue Smurf who ran through the Kingdom Hall and out the door! I still must laugh!

SJW thinking on the right: The lack of agency

by bohm in

the nut-left got a dilemma with islamic terrorism: on one hand their natural instinct is to defend muslims from any (perceived) attack on islam and on the other hand radical islam is shock full of values that are 100% opposed to everything they believe: the nut-left would simply be stoned to death in a country which properly followed sharia law.. how do you fix the cognitive dissonance?

well, the standard script includes the following items:.

first, you don't really defend sharia, at least not in its entirety, but spend time talking about the evils of the west, in particular, israel.

I will show two reasons why the left is in collapse.

I do not know why this bahaviour is allowed? What is the constant belittling of the white people for? I'm Korean and I have noticed all the time the left is pandering to the black race the most and now they include people of color which I assume is latin. Its very embarrassing. Even black people are sick of it.

I do not remember the right (or any Republicans) rioting in the streets after Obama was elected twice. They knew they were defeated and bowed gracefully IMHO. The childish behaviour of the left is repulsive and divisive. What happened to love Trumps hate? I see nothing but hate from the left. Burning of a female Trump supporters hair. Violence against Trump supporters for wearing hats. Do not get me started on my own experience wearing a hat!
