  Jehovah's Witnesses and the Picnic Extinction

  jehovah’s witnesses and the picnic extinction.

  (“those were the days, my friend, we thought they’d never end…”).

  it was another world back then; another time and another place.. you had to have been there to have any sense of it--as a young, impressionable jehovah’s witness under the watchtower presidency of nathan h. knorr--social gatherings (backyard bbq’s, swimming parties) among the ‘friends’ consisted of having a great time at a get together or a picnic.

  Terry you tell a fine story, your perception toward cult control is spot on, again keep writing it brings pleasure to others.

  Akid48 , you have full control of your mind don't allow the propaganda any room in your awakened mind. Your doing well but you will need to read up un cult control symptoms and tread like a ninja around family. Good luck kiddo.

  Where else can I go???

  those are the words of my 2nd generation born in jw mother.

  my grandfather died refusing blood.

  i've since come to the realization that many jws have no other opportunities or options when it comes to leaving the cult.

  They will never end the door to door work , they can't end no blood because to many died for this religious ruling, disfellowshipping is a total control thing and any ruling class never gives up control

  I had a Jw the other day assure me Rutherford is in heaven now ruling. I asked had he ever read any of the eye witness accounts that people who had dealings with him, of course not he on been told what WT corp told him. The average Jw will follow this Warwick chariot where ever it goes. The ruling cardinals of the GB and self appointed pope big tony , with their weekly prayer sessions asking for the next ricochete direction to guide these blind sheep. Oppostate you have very valid points but logic and truth aren't necessarily top priority for our elite ruling class.

  How smart were the ancients?

  by Coded Logic in

  1. social
  2. current

  growing up as a jw, i always thought the ancients were scientific morons who knew next to nothing.

  ashamedly, i used to run around citing isaiah 40:22 as proof of the bible's 'divine authorship' because it talked about "the circle of the earth".

  as though this were somehow an unknowable before spaceflight.

  It's what fascinated Russell that still enthralling to the masses that's the pyramids.

  "Even if this wasn't the truth, I would still stay. This is the best life to live..."

  by HereIgo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was recently told this by a jw family member when trying to get through to them.

  does this quote indicate that maybe such ones have considered that the jw's may not have the truth after all?

  or is that just my wishful thinking?

  They are just hedging their bets, so as to justify not waisting their lives

  I think it's possible for a change of trend in JW growth

  just like after decades of memorial partakers declining and now reversed.

  this information age might reverse the trend of jw membership.
