  how many times have you heard that trope?.

  i found it more irritating than a dose of farmers on the bum.

  i've even said it when i was a brainwashed jobo drone.

  Why should WE be the bloodguilty ones??

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it struck me just how odd and weird it is that jws are told that if they do not preach, they are "bloodguilty" for failing to warn people of the upcoming destruction at armageddon.. hang on a minute now, hang on!.

  why should a mere human be made to feel "bloodguilty" and "responsible" for "failing to warn someone" of gods wrath??.

  these average people are not the ones who are about to unleash a genocidal massacre on 99% of humanity (including babies born to non-witnesses).

  Guilt is a good way to keep the advertising going for wt Corp. Good for nothing slave is what I remember being told. God supposedly has our best interests then he could talk to us all.

  JW Rumor: End of the Traveling Overseer

  by Edison Trent in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  a friend of mine has contacts to a family with several circuit overseers and special pioneers.

  they have good connections to bethel.. he told me that the latest rumor from bethel states that the cos should be abolished in their present form.

  they have also recently begun to take cos back to bethel.. over the same channel i have already heard of the car fleet program and that the dos should be abolished.. has anyone else already heard of it?

  If they got rid of COs who would appoint the next lot of dickheads ( elders) . Whatever WT does it will relinquish NO power , COs are the paid enforcers they might want to switch to an unpaid clergy class but the control enforcement will only increase as the cracks in the org increase. Like the old saying pay peanuts get monkeys.

  First posting on here..Hello all

  by London Underground in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just wanted to say a big hello to everyone, my first post on here was actually yesterday but it was deleted.. so will keep this one short to save my precious time just in case its also deleted or lost.. got fed up with years of persecution from within the congregations.

  the lack of genuine friendship & lack of 'christian love'.

  having personally seen many a scandalous behaviour i began doing some research online some years ago.

  Not A Day Goes By Without Me Thinking About Watchtower

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  although i consider myself completely "cured" from watchtower brainwashing, guilt tripping and propaganda, i realised today that there's not a day that goes by without me thinking of the cult we left.

  i think of my former family and what i'd like to say to them, what i'd try to explain and how i'd say it without them switching the "ignore" button and running away.. today on my instagram account my little step-brother "liked" a picture i posted.

  i didn't even know he was still on my friends list.

  I’m fortunate I have no blood relatives in , but I don’t allow jw past to consume my time outside the forum and my enthusiasm to let jw know that maybe they have been duped. But I genuinely would like to meet some fellow posters one day. Pale you might have forgot that when some commit suicide after cult jc, it is an act of violence.

  What is the Baptism all about?

  by Old Navy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  does the act of baptism make us a "member" of any group or organization?

  or, is it something much greater in its purpose?.

  when we as former jws came to the truthful conclusion that what the wtborg cult inc. was teaching/preaching was not an accurate representation of the word, many of us decided to look into every nook and cranny to see if we could discover the real truth.

  Waking up to TTATT: Blessing or Curse?

  by Jules Saturn in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  if you take the red pill, you'll have knowledge, you'll be awakened, aware of reality, you'll have freedom.. if you take the blue pill, you stay in your bubble, wearing rose colored glasses, and feel security in an illusion.. taking the red pill isn't something that's easy to do.

  to accept that everything around you is an illusion built up on lies or half truths.

  but hey, it might feel good to be aware and break free from this illusion.

  When the penny dropped and I realised I had been duped by a smooth talking realestate company, I left and could never go to a KH again. I’m usually not very gullible, but to be converted to jw cause is truly embarrassing looking back.

  JW Stumper Questions - List You Best Here

  hi guys.

  sooner or later we're going to get a jw knocking on our door.

  just like when we were jw's doing the knocking, it's good to have a question prepared to get them thinking about their own beliefs.

  Will god hold religious leaders responsible for the deaths of the flock due to these leader going beyond what’s written ? I first mention war to get their heads nodding then I switch to blood fractions and the lives lost and remind them that some jws died for what is now a conscience matter.

  Because they have admitted god will hold responsible these leaders , I ask how will god bring judgement against these men who cost fellow believers their lives.

  The other thing I ask is what is the youngest age someone can get baptised then you get responses 9-14. Then I ask is that child free to explore other religions when they become adults with no family sanctions.
