  me i slowly came to see religion was a crutch we use to dream of a better "afterlife"....i feel half my life was wasted building an organisation that had no criminal mastermind behind it...just alot of mislead people looking for leadership.

  The JWs had taught me that all other religions were false. I realized they were a false religion too. The end.

  However, I only gradually came to the realization that I am atheist, about 5 years after quitting the JWs. I hadn't really considered what I believe, but I kept asking questions and figuring things out on my own.

  Mainly, though, I just have absolutely no use for religion. These belief systems have been used for millennia to oppress and divide and pillage people, with the never-fulfilled promises of heaven or Everlasting Life™. It's the only con-game where people have to pay, and pay, and pay, (not just money, but time, energy, thoughts, love, friendships, etc.) and never get to enjoy the things they were promised.

  Who cares?

  Live your life the way JWs only wish they could. When they see you, and see your happy, carefree life, they think about how shallow their life is, how shallow their Friendships™ are, how meaningless and unsuccessful their Ministry™ is.

  I've started shunning them, because there's no effing way I will ever go back to their so-called Spiritual Paradise™.

  Ralph Walls implausible 2021 Convention field service story

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  another implausible field service story told by ralph walls at the 2021 convention.

  get ready for this unrealistic, stupid, dull and boring, made up fiction that is presented at this assembly.. some years ago ( tells a story but doesn't know exact date ), a brother ( doesn't give his name ) in mexico ( doesn't name the town) from the rurals, dressed in a very simple garb ( to show he was not showy ) knocked at the door of a palatial mansion.

  ( a very rich ''worldly'' person must live here ).

  QUITTING QUIETLY here is the Canadian version of the document

  by gone for good in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a while back, i suggested that an easy, quick, quiet exit with the signing and dating of a concise and irrefutable document would spur faders and pimos to preempt the elders' interference by quitting quietly first , before a fade or a confrontation.

  here is the document .

  If you don't believe that the Elders™ have any Authority™ over you, then why even bother with a letter?

  Do you write a letter to the school yard bully who took your lunch money too?

  Adultery, Divorce, Remarry

  by azl0058 in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  my brother (who is a witness) has been married for 8 years.

  he and his wife (also a witness) got married young, but he never really tried in the marriage, but she also lost his trust early on.

  he says that it was his fault though because he pushed her away.. anyways, he met this new girl (not a witness) and told his wife that he wanted to separate.

  Cheating to get out of an unhappy marriage isn't the best choice, but in JW-land it is an option. Doesn't the bible say that to look at another person in a lustful way is having already committed adultery in one's heart anyway??

  WT rules seemed to have relaxed a bit in the 26 years since I left. At one time, adultery only freed the innocent spouse to remarry Scripturally™. The spouse who committed adultery was expected to return to the marriage *if* the innocent spouse was willing to forgive them. But to use adultery as a weapon to deliberately end the marriage and move on to another partner, and expect to be Reinstated™ and bring their new partner into The Truth™... well that's just mind boggling to me, for the simple reason that so much deceit and underhandedness has gone into the affair. But that's WTs fault too: they are the ones who claim that the *only* legitimate grounds for a Scriptural Divorce™ is adultery, and they also imply that the adulterer(s) are not at liberty to seek the divorce - that is up to the wronged spouse.

  WT may as well accept the fact that people divorce for a variety of reasons, and there is no sense in expecting two miserable people to stay with each other until one of them dies. Let them move on and try to find some happiness. Life is too damn short.

  COVID-19 - Would It Work to Allow People to Sign Away Rights for Treatment Like JW's Do for Blood?

  by RubaDub in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  people want to get back to work, back to "normal" in many cases (whatever normal now means).

  even trump is encouraging protesters in 3 states.. but with the covid-19 thing, this is not just a matter of a person taking a risk, as a person may do who smokes, takes illegal drugs or in other ways lives an unhealthy lifestyle.

  in general, most (not all, since cost of insurance and public hospitals may be involved), but generally you are not putting the lives of others at risk.

  Any adult of sound mind can refuse medical treatment for themselves. Hospitals have forms for this type of thing. However, in the case of COVID-19, I would hope refusal of treatment would be accompanied by strict quarantine orders to not leave their home, or being segregated with other idiots, away from the rest of us who want to be safe for the benefit of our loved ones and other people at risk.
