  When you were fully in, did you believe that you would not die?

  by TTWSYF in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know that it must seem silly to ask, but my brother and his family think that the big a will arrive before they die.

  i tried to explain to my brother that everyone else who has ever lived in the past has died and only jesus has [physically] rose from the dead.. it is amazing that anyone could buy that line.

  what crazy cult culture that could make people believe such nonsense?!.

  I believed that in a twinkling of an eye me and my mates were to be riding horses that had the blood of dead enemies up to the chest. We weren't going to die we were going to be like God, indestructible immortality was bestowed apon us. O and the children we murdered we has no emotion toward their pain .God and I partied after.

  Mad history of WT is only available because these idiots put it in print.

  2. bible

  i got thinking if wt only did public talks there would be no record of bb(biblical bullsh..).

  if you think old writings were bad , the bull some of these prophets spoke at assemblies makes the old books sound like nursery stories..

  More similarities with North Korea

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  other posts have mentioned the similarities between jws and n. korea with regards to uniformity of dress and grooming, backlash for criticism and being hard to escape.

  just thought i'd add a couple more, thanks to quotes from david mikkelson and john delury, a n. korea analyst at yonsei university in seoul, s. korea:.

  north korea is notorious for a lack of transparency.

  or do they stay at hotels?

  do most jws know who's on the governing body?

  if one just showed up at church would he be immediately recognized?

  Since broadcasting most JW at least know the faces (especially bro Lett). If one turned up at regular KH ,you would see JWs do an action similar to the Jews with the golden calf. All members CLAIM to be annointed. If you believe the GB they will imply that they are chosen by God, Holy Spirit ,but in reality it's all about connections no different from mafia,it's all about who you know. GB do override all decisions that they disagree with. Lastly they only stay where THEY want to stay eg good old friends,Marriott ,Hilton,6 star hotel for our boys.

  by LaurenM in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  so like the title suggests, i'm going to break up with my boyfriend today.

  it's for several reasons, but mostly because i'm not prepared for a relationship.

  i need to grow and learn what it's like to be me now that i'm not a jw and learn how to love myself so i don't make the person i am with miserable.

  Most on here can sympathise with you due is us being damaged goods to some degree, but as others said there are professionals who CAN help, also reading experiences of how others overcome their troubles does help. You have done the right thing by seeking advice on here because wisdom can come from the most unlikely sources. A true friend is someone who doesn't judge your motives because they know and care for you, hang in there. You seem the caring type ,real friends are attracted to people like that. 99% on here are cult affected ,we are here to look after each other.

  Every JW family with a DF individual is in a dying state. The emotional trauma bestowed on members in and out is without worldly precedent. There have been more suicides than Jonestown. To put in print not to attend DF funeral is emotional death to some people. IF God is love then surely he has nothing to do with any of this.

  The Biggest Mistake The GB Have Made In The Last 10 Years

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i think the single biggest mistake the governing body have made in the last 10 years has to be creating jw broadcasting and putting their gb members on there... on a weekly basis too.. when i was a kid, i had no idea who the governing body were, what their names were or what they looked like.

  there was one or two long term pioneers that knew the names of two of them but that was about it.. when i was about 10yo i imagined they looked something like this:.

  ahh.... those learned men with a lifetime of bible knowledge just oozing out of their very hearts.

  As soon as they broadcast, their mystic most holy persona just flew the coup. Even if these men started with good intentions once they forsook ONE soul to a bullish... judicial decision ( such as someone DF for not believing latest light) they became condemned . The young bred members now are more accountable due to KNOWING the history has been changed, for changing scripture there are plagues waiting.

  How Will Armageddon Begin?

  by Cold Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  and how long will it last?

  and who will come after that, yahweh, as the old testament says or jesus, as the new testament says?

  the scriptures say he'll come to the mount of olives, but surely that's a spiritual mount of olives.

  http://news.nationalpost.com/news/religion/alberta-appeal-court-rules-judges-can-overturn-unfair-church-edicts.

  the other day, this court decision was posted on jwn along with a link to the court document, but few expected the media to pick up the story.

  so to all involved, i understand it was a surprise to see the story in print.

  They would NEVER make disfellowshipping a conscience matter due to the family wreckage left in its past. Could you imagine you deserted your DF'd parents until they died and some didn't even attend their funerals. Anger would rise .
