  Sadly in 2049 there will be crazy JWs telling me The end is tomorrow. Sadly some of them will be my friends who never had a life, because of the fear of the fictional Armageddon.

  Saying hello again

  by EdenOne in

  just saying i’m still alive and greeting everyone, veterans and newcomers to this forum.. 2018 was a year with a lot of turmoil in my life; me and my wife separated, then reunited months later, and spent the second half of the year healing the emotional wounds from that episode.

  that, along with a record year in terms of my business meant that choices had to be made regarding my time, and i decided to focus on my marriage instead of other endeavours.

  it seemed to have paid off.

  Vienne - It is simple the Org wrote that people born in 1914 will see Armageddon. They didn't write specifically 2014, but stating that 1914 is the starting point was giving people hope and the idea that Armageddon will definitely come before 2014.

  Finkelstein - As I wrote in the beginning. Its just an opinion. Anything is possible. We have to wait what will the investigation say, which usually takes a long time

  Aroq - thank you for the link

  Vienne - Before 2014 the Org constantly wrote that people who were born in 1914 will definitely see Armageddon. Then Armageddon was cancelled and the new prophecy is proper nonsense - basically another lie.

  Sparrowdown - I fully agree. Yes, get out

  Hi, everyone. The link bellow is sort of OK. I could not find a decent article in English language about this, but Russian media is exploding. 2 days ago a teenager killed 19 people and injured dozens and committed suicide. He was raised in a JW family. Here are these news

  https://www.straitstimes.com/world/europe/russian-investigators-seek-crimea-teenage-gunmans-motive

  My opinion on this situation. Only an opinion! I think the Org should take some responsibility for this. As it was brainwashing people that the end will definitely come by 2014. This boy was raised in a poor family, with one disabled parent. I bet he could not wait for the Armageddon and the New World to come. But since the Org cancelled the Armageddon. I say cancelled, because that's what happened. The new explanation by the Org is pure deception, fabrication, fable and every other word connected with lies. So when this boy realised that his struggles won't end and that the Org is a scam and fraud he decided to take his life in a such a horrible way.

  My New Found Patriotism

  i'm not entirely sure where this has come from, but these past few months i've found myself gradually becoming more and more involved politically and identifying myself differently.

  we all remember what it was like as jws, no political involvement whatsoever, no national pride, no singing the national anthem or saluting the flag etc.

  the watchtower literature always shown artists renditions of nationalism or politics like this:.

  I think what is happening to you is fully acceptable. We constantly change through our live by different factors from outside and inside. So all the best with your new you. I live in UK, Wales for ten years and slowly Wales is becoming my mother land as I have more and more connections with it. And even though English anthem (The Queen song) is not Welsh I do love to sing it. It helps me to be part of the British culture.

  Since freeing myself from Religion I've been trying to free myself from Government as much as possible also

  i love freedom.

  more than money,vacations material possessions etc.to be free of religion has been such a liberating experience.

  i have to agree with one thing that j.rutherford (second president of the wt) said about religion being a snare and a racket.

  I wish you all the best on your journey to free yourself from the Government. I don't think you will find people here who gone of the grid totally. They just wont be here. You need to google stories of people (some of them are Americans) who moved to Siberia in Russia. Siberia has vast areas with no roads, landlines, mobile network etc. I think it is one of rare place on the planet where you can fully be independent from the system

  Changing Name from Jehovahs witnesses to governing body followers?

  by LovingLifeNow in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  first off, they are not changing there name.

  but i was thinking this morning that it wouldnt be that far fetched to do so.

  i mean they could use the spin, " we have so much new light and the times are so close, that we need to be obedient to the fds," there have been many changes in the organization so we don't want to be associated with the old name, but again more then ever we need to be obedient" .

  Yes, they should. Good idea. Instead of Governing body they need to put Satan. Satan is a lier, so is the GB. So Satan followers would be very much appropriate.
