Why is the approval of family so important?

by jwfacts in

one of the reasons people remain pimo is fear of losing family.

those that are disfellowshipped and shunned regularly comment about how devastated that they have lost the approval of their parents.. when i respond to emails from people saying how difficult it is being estranged or looked down on by their parents, i would like to say that over time they will come to terms with it, except i not sure that people ever do.

i cannot shake that feeling either.

All Jw parents are guilty of child abuse , the fairytales of fear and guilt indoctrination are what these cult affected parents dished out. Family has ties that go beyond normal relationships in everything from farting in their presence to tolerance of anger levels. We are generally attracted to people of same thinking and family thinking is hereditary, attitudes of parents rub off on kids . The scariest part about parents is the things you often hate about your parents are the same traits that you sometimes exhibit. Blood links throughout history have proved the timeless. We as humans desire at least some approval from those close to us , family normally is closest, JWs twist this arrangement as to put the Warwick corporation above blood ties and it's driven home continually with twisted scripture.

Some of the the people on here are the most broken in the world due to the shunning policies, it might seem crazy but there are people on here that pour out their hearts to our members more than they ever did to their parents. We all want to be loved by someone and generally family fills that role, with JWs that dynamic changes, so our relationship needs need to be met by others. It's just another consequence of the cult.

Using violence to end violence?

by stuckinarut2 in

it really is mind blowing when we think about it : witnesses have no problem with a deity who will use violence in order to end violence?!?!.

armageddon will be gods war to kill billions of people...because it shows his love?.

thoughts?.

Chook

Using violence to end unjust violence IS appropriate, those who set out to bring harm to my family might just get to the pearly gates early. I think even the most pacifist would want some retribution for the killing of their children. If you have trouble pulling the trigger think of the victims , I will sleep ok ending their sorry existence for harming my family.

Will Charles Taze Russell be Resurrected With a Beard?

by Cold Steel in

the scriptures say all will be resurrected, some to eternal life, others to judgment.

so i wondered what's going to happen to those who wore beards during mortality?

picture if charles taze russell was resurrected and came face to face with joseph rutherford, second president of twt (the whole tamale) and the instigator of the beardless policy.

Chook

According to Jw doctrine mr Russell is in heaven when Rutherford arrives, as to who calls the shots they will be united in love with divine flamethrowers getting ready to rid the earth of the millions who didn't support Warwicks realestate empire.

Hello again

by BlackWolf in

jw
friends

hello everyone, it's been a while since i've posted anything on here so i thought i might give an update.

next month i turn 18 and my mom is constantly berating me about getting baptized, so much so that my siblings have even told her to stop.

ive just been flat out telling her no which i know is irritating her.

Chook

Black wolf , under no circumstances get baptised, it's all emotional blackmail. The least amount of ripples would be to tell parents you want to thoroughly study Jesus, and his baptism age is your starting point. Children having to choose between family and religion is terrible ,but remember they brought you to this cult , so don't beat yourself up to much. Your parents are victims of a slick advertising company, where possible give them slack but don't drink the Jw koolaid . When a bit lost come on here and there is plenty of good advice, wisdom is not far away.

"We dont mourn the dead"

by HereIgo in

i remember a brother making the above statement in regards to an elderly sister who had passed.

he stated we don't mourn or even visit grave sites because we have a hope that jah will resurrect the dead.

it seemed really creepy at the time, hell, even jesus wept when lazarus died.

Chook

Of all funerals that I've ever attended JWs are the most unloving toward the deceased. They use this time of sadness to hijack the mourning process to promote their American realestate business.

"...You will be Disfellowshipped for 7 years"

by HereIgo in

shortly before i left the "troof" a co had given a talk during his visit.

at the time there was a scandal going on in the congregation where 2 couples basically swapped spouses with each other.

it was quite the scandal.

Chook

The reading of hearts is the CO speciality, these guys are judge and executioners, 7 years is kind considering these COs if in Israel would throw the first stone. Reinstatement is always at the mercy of men influenced by Warwick . Just like these guys who condemn clergy to Gehenna, those toward the top of JW tree KNOW of the fraudulent teachings that have plagued the WT, so in turn when their judicial process gets it wrong and some poor bugger kills himself someone has to pay . Then there is the big question if there is a God who values justice then big Tony tight pants is going to get fried by god himself.

JUNE 2017 Watchtower - Lost a loved one? Go out in service!

by pale.emperor in

apparently going to the kingdom hall and getting out in the door to door ministry is the best way to get over the loss of a loved one.

who'dve thunk it?.

Chook

Go out and offer solutions to wordly people yet on your home front there is a great loss that may never heal . A lot of love and compassion is what is needed for a long time. Fraudulent religion probably didn't even do a proper funeral.

Did You Know You Can Have Seizures While You Sleep and Not Know It?

by David_Jay in

i have to take some time off even from some of my favorite activities for a while...that means here...until i can adjust to a new medical therapy.. i just learned today that i have nocturnal epilepsy and have been having seizures almost every night for several decades!

wow!

just started medication that will mess me up when it comes to processing my thinking and typing for a while, so until that straightens out i will just have to read for now.. but look it up.

Chook

The most effective cure is cannabis oil .

Do You Have Any Indoctrinated Guilt Left Over?

by pale.emperor in

i voted this morning for the first time.

at 32yo i wondered in a church of england parish hall with no idea what i was doing.

everyone else knew how to do it.

Chook

No guilt on my part , birthdays ,Christmas , gamble , one of the things that tipped me over before I left was they had to print a tract on how to dress when visiting bethel , that screams cult control.
