  "You're going to die in Armageddon"

  by Jules Saturn in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm sure i am not the only one to have heard this come out of the mouths of my loved ones.

  it's a very painful thing to hear, especially when it comes from the people like your own parents/family.

  even after i've been told that, they would say "we'll just continue life without you.

  Better add this too: The Day of Judgment will be a good thing. A very good thing.

  It is then that we will discover the depth of Love that we have wondered about.

  To get the "iron grip" on membership the WTBorg Cult Inc. focuses on such false warnings with intensity. All who fall into the trap of "believing" the lies unwittingly submits to their militant controls and lives a horrible, fear filled existence. It is a truly Sick Society.

  If JDubs only took the time to study The Word with an uncluttered mind they would see with their own eyes that ALL will be Saved, none will be forgotten. Even the Old Adversary himself. The Promised Resurrection will be Trillions of Departed Souls. As we are made whole and good by the refining fire of the Lake of Fire we will in time become as we were intended to be. The End of this story is a long, long way off into the future. As eons go by we'll eventually look back upon our trials and tribulations in this present lifetime as a faint memory.

  The WTBorg Cult Inc. is stuck in some old false doctrine of some particularly fearful sects of early Christendom. It suits their purposes.

  There is no true religion.

  l came to this conclusion based on the fact that humans are imperfect living in an imperfect world.the bible was written by imperfect human hands and is impossible to interpret with 100% accuracy.religion is man made to help control the masses..

  Brings to mind the refrain from the Billy Currington song:

  "God is great, Beer is good and People are crazy..."

  I agree with the sentiment that there is no true religion. Everything that is good in this World seems to have been corrupted and made dirty. None of the "religions" have much Truth as they have become hierarchies of men who promote the dogma of men.

  As I reflect upon "The Way" that was shown us by the Son of Man it occurs that it was never intended to become a "religion" under the control of some man made organization. I believe, instead, it was intended to be a Way of Living where each man and woman does his/her best to develop Love and Goodness. We seem to be born with a longing for peace and harmony but it is lost too quickly. As toddlers we adopt the behaviors we find in our familial environment. We are corrupted from the beginning or our lives.

  No brain, No Life -- says JW Professor Rajesh Kalaria

  by cognisonance in

  2. bible

  so continuing my review of the current bull shit my family in this cult are subjected to i found this article about professor rajesh kalaria, a jw since 1973 and a scientist who has studied the human brain for 40 years (hmm... so he converted into this cult very early in his career it seems).anyway i also found this jw broadcasting piece about him where he says:.

  “and brain is what we are; what i am, what you are.

  no brain, no life.

  Quote from Steve2:

  Has he studied how the human brain makes sense of life when trapped in a cult?

  Very good question. I believe he has since he addresses cult techniques.

  Our World today is an array of Cults within Cults. The art of Mind Control is well developed and the techniques are used daily by government and mainstreammedia to construct the "fake reality" in which we find ourselves. The Matrix is under construction and well along the way to being completed.

  An interesting article which sheds some light on the enigma called "consciousness."

  Does "Science" have the ability to find "Truth" when it challenges a foundational belief?

  There may not be a great deal of direct "proof" in the way of experiential documentation from that era but, for myself, there is an enormous quantity of other proof. The more I learn and discover about our incredible Planet and the complexity of all of its systems; the astounding beauty and complexity of life itself, there is no doubt. Then when looking into the sky and pondeiring what we've learned about this awesome superuniverse, what more can one say?

  The design of this material dimension is stupendous. Who knows how much more there is to delight our curiosity?

  The WTBorg Inc. seem to have little in-depth comprehension of what life is and how the brain relates. For those who may be interested in a more serious evaluation:

  How to convince someone to leave.

  hey everyone, long time lurker, first time poster.

  i woke up a few months ago, and i haven't told my parents yet.

  The style of "speech" which characterizes Cult Programming Language is quite different from the way "normal" clear-thinking people speak. Listen carefully to how "thoughts" in the talks are phrased paying attention to the "fear inspiring words." Observe carefully how the literature thoughts are phrased to maximize fear and obedience to Organization Edict. Neural Linguistic Programming can be very powerful in a negative way when peculiarly phrased "cues" are repeated several times each week. Repetition is a key element of Mind Control Techniques coupled with "activity overload" which induces a mind state akin to sleep deprivation or hypnotic trance. Those who produce the talk outlines and who write the literature articles are well versed in the techniques. Yes, the process is very similar to hypnotism.

  Yep, it screwed up too! I'm stumped - apparently there isn't any way to post a link to a youtube user page without it showing up as a video.

  Unless... (spaces after the colon and dots

  Gosh, I guess something didn't turn out as intended with the link. It was to Apostate Chick's youtube video page with all of her videos. Hmmm, apparently youtube hyperlinks are automagically interpreted as videos even when they're not.

  "https://www.youtube.com/user/ApostateChick/videos"

  If the link in quotes is screwed up also, you can find her videos by doing a youtube search for Apostate Chick. I should also say that there are many youtube pages with XJW experience videos and they're all very good.mm
