Hello Everyone, Another JW Has Left!

by SuperGirl in

just want to introduce myself and let you know that this site is working and is a big help to lots of jws with doubts.

i've been lurking for about a year, the first couple of times i was frightened and literally shaking visiting an apostate site but it's the only place i can come to for sanity.

the religion has become a nut house.

Welcome! I have 2 friends who have left in the past year as well. One shunned me, now he asks me tons of questions lol. It's interesting having a few who knew you left approach you later when they are doing the same.

It probably is an ex jw and prob why not caught yet, just like they try to protect pedos, so it doesn't cast a bad light on the org. They don't want people to question or get headlighted on the 'loving arrangement' of the shunning for life policy. I found it interesting the Sheriff in interviews has absolutely no idea why anybody would do anything, and how he said since it's so random it will be so hard to find out. I'm guessing the elders and CO's in that area have not even hinted that anybody might be upset with the hundreds of thousands whose families shun them, etc, on instructions of the elders if they leave the borg.

i think back on all the missed opportunities i could had not being a jehovah's witness.

however, now i'm thinking about all the fun i could of had if i had been a pimo and had fun in that position.

the possibilities are endless.

I'm glad I woke up before I was 'too old' to have fun. But I did lose a lot of opportunity.

Did you know Banks create money out of thin air?

by TerryWalstrom in

jw
friends

banks create money “out of thin air.”empirical studies have been undertaken to prove this thesis and this is the conclusion:.

in the 5,000 year history of banking, banks have been thought of as “deposit taking institutions which lend money”.. 1. what is the legal reality?

banks don’t take deposits and don’t lend money.the public is under this false impression on purpose because the language of banks is not legal language.. so--what is a “deposit”?a deposit is not actually a deposit.

I found Venezuelas money problem interesting. 1 USD equaled about 12 of theirs, then within 2 years 1 USD equaled over 200,000 of theirs.

Prior to their hyperinflation, with the money in their supply, it went up to much and so fast, that people needed a backpack of cash, which would be worth tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars to get just eggs, etc.

How did all those extra 'bills' appear out of nowhere. Even with hyperinflation, unless just printing nonstop the past couple years, just physically all of that money around should have been impossible.

For those Genuinely Concerned about Press Freedom

by Simon in

our illustrious leader, justin trudeau, has just announced a half a $billion fund that will be given out to "trustworthy" news sources.. of course this will have nothing todo with the fact that there will be a federal election next year and there are plenty of bad things to highlight in the liberals record.

they will obviously dole the money out in a totally impartial manner, even handing funding to reporters that are critical of them and trudeau.

"trustworthy" news sources won't just be a euphemism for "writes positive stories about me, avoids negative ones".

How do you determine whether any religion is good or bad since...

by TerryWalstrom in

so, yesterday whilst playing chess i had a discussion ranging widely topically in which my chess opponent asked me, "how do you determine whether any religion is good or bad since there is so much basic disagreement on interpretations of text?

"i replied this way:"does this particular god need to be treated like an adult, or as a spoiled child with a churlish temper?

that's a good place to start.

Depends on how your moral compass judges what is good or not. Some are if harm to some for the greater good of all, some are no benefits will ever justify harm to even 1 even if greater good, etc. Many different moralities.

Religion has done both good and bad. Good in establishing unity and community in old times, perhaps controlling those who on their own morality would have done harm to others, etc. Bad in the crimes, deaths, and hurtful things done in the name of it.
