Just one thing : you are not "returning to the truth"
your are returning to " your truth"
BIG difference .

Jehovah's protecting his people - Korea
by no-zombie in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
with the chances of war breaking out on the korean peninsula rapidly rising, i wonder if jehovah will save his people in seoul if kim jong-un decides to nukes it?

or will their deaths just be written off by the governing body's writing department as another case of "time and unforeseen occurrence"?.

while you might think that i'm being flippant or trivial here, i'm being quite serious.

Taking the Step
by beardfreedom in
1. jw
2. friends
first time posting after years of reading, the things i have learned here have gradually helped to open my eyes to the reality of this religion.

though i have been mentally out for some time, lately i have stopped going to meetings and service.

the elders are calling and i have been ignoring them, i am trying to get up the courage to finally break free and never go back.

Good luck !!
Close the umbrella !! i love this image , everything is inside !!

"But I was just following order and directions!" The 'outsourcing' of personal responsibility
by stuckinarut2 in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
a thought struck me that throughout history people have often claimed that "i was simply following orders and directions" when it comes to their actions or beliefs.. instead of using logical thinking skills to determine if the course of action is correct, they just assume that it is based on a superior telling them so.. think of someone handling finances for a corrupt boss.

if asked to hide sums of money illegally, can they just say to the authorities "i was just following directions"?.

or as we know, war crimes have occurred in history and the same excuses have been used.. similarly, it seems that witnesses "outsource" their thinking abilities to the society and gb and think and act exactly as directed...even if such changes dramatically as have many, many teachings and beliefs.. think of all the far out and strange things in the society's history.

Just because they are a afraid to be alone and to die .
Without "friends" or "hope" .
Lonely with many questions ....
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
So you unplugged your brain . and you can keep your "friends" .and your " hope " .
But you still feel lonely with many questions inside ( but nobody knows ....)
Life is strange ...... ( mine too dont worry ... ; )

after watching this i asked myself the question, how did i ever believe jehovah was about to kill billions of people who have so much love and compassion in their hearts?.

As usual …..

cold war : the end is near

Tchernobyl : the end is near

tsunami :the end is near

Gulf war : the end is near

9/11 : the end is near

Big earthquake somewhere : the end is near

terrorist attacks : the end is near

...

So now, Trump and …. the end is near !! Funny, we should have guess !

You can spend a life time doing this .heart beat going up each time something happens

in the world .it give a little pepper ….like going to the casino maybe

Some people dreams to win the lottery

Others to play ball with a lion on billions dead bodies

And few days after, you go back to your « normal » life .until the next big thing ...and

you will start again with your friend ( who wants badly to play ball too ) its now !!the end is near !!!

Why aren't there windows in the KH?
by longgone in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
the last kh i attended, (faded) was built in 2014. there are no windows anywhere, although the front doors are glass.

.

it's nothing but a brown brick rectangle, as nondescript as possible as well.. any thoughts about why?.

Same in the casinos .....to keep people in the bubble ....and take their money too ....

Oct 2021 Time Capsule
by LevelThePlayingField in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
what do you think the jw religion will be like in oct 2021?

if we go back five years from oct 2016 you get 2011. there was no jw.org, really pretty much no tablets, most people were using paper copies for everything.

now that's all changed.
Absolutesbeginners

2021 ...

Let me guess .....maybe they will start to baptized babies because " the end is soooo close " ...( and statistics numbers so low ... ; ) )
Disfellowship any oldies who ask questions to elders about "1914" .....
Change rules about paedophiles ...one witness will be enough ....
Establish only electronics contributions....to know who is NOT giving money ....
And of course say to youngs " dont go to university ! the end is soooo close !! come to work for free in our headquarters !! we have a remote control lake ....and even a bunker !! "
And millions monkeys will believe it .
