  Welcome JW Awake

  we wish you well, it will be a juggle for a while , anger toward being deceived by church and joy in finding out TTAT. You could still use your influence to help cult affected souls. Again welcome.

  1914 is the Key !

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i thought this deserved its own topic.

  it is a thought that occurred to me as i read the wt rag that i took to be polite.. it is the public one about the 4 horseman, and it struck me that they are still 100% reliant on their false 1914 doctrine to hang everything on.. if 1914 is proved wrong, what can the credibility of their doomsday message hang on ?.

  we all know how to disprove the old 2520 years nonsense, but they seem to at last be hiding that, and simply claiming that world events prove jesus slung the devil out of heaven in 1914.. so, what has that old devil done since 1914, 103 years ago ?.

  Ask JWs how many return visits were born before 1914 , even if we move goal posts to 1922 millions now living will never die, guess what nearly all dead.

  Warm Welcome to all new members, I honestly believe that the internet with the privacy to do own research will drain the Jw swamp. The whole Christian course is meant to have a contrite attitude toward past mistakes, the GB has NEVER apologised for any misrepresentation of the bible. Again welcome.

  All books that encourage people that they will never die can make best seller range, Our famous judge Rutherford promised millions NOW living will never die. There is no better formula for a sales campaign than to offer something the competition is not. There is the chance ( only jokin ) that if we really wondered how JW hierarchy believe that mr rutherford is ruling in heaven now. That's a good question for GB is do they think that the judge is still influencing the org from heaven.

  Jehovah's Witnesses gain their spirituality through the lies and corruption of the Watchtower Corporation

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  when one thinks about it this is how jws gain their spirituality and show their spiritual strength by being more involving and assertive in their activity within the religion.. the wts created many dubious doctrines intentionally to attract attention to the literature the wts published, such christ has returned and mankind is living in the last days etc.. the wts even went as far as setting specific dates to further enhance expectations to its followers (1975) there were devised lies and unsupported calculations, nevertheless they accomplished toward their original intent of literature circulation.. you could say the wts exploited people's insecurities and ignorance commercially, socially creating a cult of followers drawing up free labor and money.. unfortunately this fraud with its exploitation and mental manipulation still continues to this day.

  JW spirituality is measured by rank for males and for sisters it's rank of spouse. The whole curtain fell down before my eyes on how these guys appointed family member to positions of authority in the Jw church. If one clergymen can look after 150 in his church how come JWs would have roughly 8 elders to 150 publishers, it all about control and towing company line.

  The Surprise Of Many Over Shunning From Family And Friends

  by dubstepped in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think there's a level of cognitive dissonance that is present within many that leave over the shunning thing.

  i hear so many tales of people that leave and think that their family will talk to them.

  sure, that does happen, but it's by far the minority.

  Because I have slipped the noose so far regarding DF, JWs have heard I'm opposed yet corporate sanctions haven't applied yet, whenever I run into JWs such as 2 days ago . I ran into elder who has in past tried to linch me in judicial hearings but is in cong next door now. He inquired as to where I was living and I said I was only in state for 4 days ( my version of theocratic warfare ) I could feel the cult culling moving closer, I just applied my Teflon coating. As to shunning I'm very fortunate that I have no blood relatives under WT control. As regards shunning the JW religion taught us to be thick skinned regarding people with opposing religious views , if 8 million shun so what , I can't talk Chinese and if I went to China 1 billion would shun based on no communication, suits me fine.

  We do sound like a cult

  by notalone in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  "we do sound like a cult..." so in the last few conversations i have had with my still deeply in friend she has mentioned this a couple times when lamenting things that don't seem right.

  she has a relative that left and is telling everyone jw's are a cult.

  she is very defensive and deeply disturbed by this accusation.

  There is no better word than CULT to describe this group, Notalone the most encouraging thing said is there is " things don't seem right and she is not going to be silenced " I think she will qualify for the priesthood of apostasy. Give her time it's all these conflicting arguments racing her mind, her mind hopefully will process them correctly, this is the most encouraging read I've read today .
