  How many Witnesses would drink the cool aid at a "Jonestown?"

  by Witness 007 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so my mum died from mild form of lukemia which can simply be treated with a blood transfusion each month.

  to me this was a watchtower assisted suicide.

  the liaison elder encouraged her to "stay strong" and said a prayer.

  I don’t think it would be specifically “kool aid”. I do see the gb prepping the mindset regularly though.

  Remember the song that said “fear not those who kill the body, but cannot destroy the soul, faithful to the end continue, I will help you reach your goal”.

  I might have the words a little off but the point is there. They do not fear death, as long as they are “faithful until the end” they are satisfied with themselves. If the old men upstairs communicated to their followers ending lives was the ultimate display of loyalty and obedience I believe this direction would be followed.

  many already do follow this direction, choosing not to take a simple blood transfusion and choosing to die instead. Right now it’s circumstantial that the faithful have the opportunity to display this act of loyalty. If the puppet masters found it more beneficial to shut everyone up quickly and completely I think they would have no choice but to trickle this poison through the ranks.

  Jonestown was a beautiful place at one time, they only killed themselves when rev jones had his henchmen kill a congrassmen and he knew it was over.

  This is one of my biggest fears. I will wake up one day and get a text message (cuz I certainly would not get a phone call) that my whole family is dead. I believe that if the uberdubs were instructed to do something of this nature, many many many people would do it. 😢

  WT Child/Sexual Abuse Cases and etc

  by jdash in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i had this argument with my grandmother and uncles about scandals that the jw's covered up and whatnot, and they won't budge.

  i brought up the australian royal commission and of course they laughed.

  they then said that the governing body has never lost a sexual abuse case but the "person" who did the crime got charged.

  Changing Name from Jehovahs witnesses to governing body followers?

  by LovingLifeNow in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  first off, they are not changing there name.

  but i was thinking this morning that it wouldnt be that far fetched to do so.

  i mean they could use the spin, " we have so much new light and the times are so close, that we need to be obedient to the fds," there have been many changes in the organization so we don't want to be associated with the old name, but again more then ever we need to be obedient" .

  I think if/when watchtower goes bankrupt it would be natural to see splinter groups that have similar but distinct names.

  Love your story! It gave me a flashback!

  we had bookstudy in our house growing up. My superW mom had a Nextel phone and forgot to turn it off.. during bookstudy we hear “chirp” and some guy (I’m still hoping from a wrong number) yelling “f*** you, you son of a b**** f this and f that” my dad who was conducting was mortified! My mom and my sister were scrambling to turn it off. I didn’t appreciate it for what it was worth at the time!!

  can you believe it?

  this funeral arrangement goes on and on and on.

  if the people loved him so much he would have been elected president.

  Morpheus: And pointing out that you are talking out of your ass isnt bullying you. Everyone can see you have no idea what your talking about, im just the guy trying to help you grow past your immaturity.

  i admitted I didn’t know what I was talking about! And you so eloquently quoted me 5 times.

  Thank you you for helping me grow. I appreciate you. I think it does us all in the ex jw community to remember “just because someone tells us something, doesn’t mean it’s the “truth””

  I will always strive to appreciate others perspectives

  I can like, or not like how someone acts without meeting them. Take you for example. I’m sure you have formed some opinion on me.

  uh I do not think he was an incarnation of god.

  I know he has a daughter, shes about my age. I saw a really sad picture of her crying at his funeral. He died of cancer, my dad was just diagnosed with cancer. From that perspective I’m sad for his family.

  Im not defending his politics. I have self admitted I do not have enough information to form an opinion on that topic.
