The Hypocrisy Of Jehovah’s Witnesses

by minimus in

friends

celebrating holidays is wrong if you are a witness.

but almost every jw that i know of has turkey on thanksgiving day.

they say , every day is a day of thanksgiving.

My mother made turkey on the Friday after thanksgiving every year.. because it was “on sale” and my father got pissed and carved it every time..

just wanted to share this funny thing.. so we have just been invited to a neighborhood xmas party to be held in the house of a lovely couple around the corner from us.. they bought the house a short time back from a jw who built it and lived there!.

so, we get to enjoy one of our first xmas parties as a couple, in the former house of a jw!.

now, that made me giggle.....

Sometimes all we have is small victories. Enjoy your Christmas! I hope it is filled with pegan rituals and people that love you unconditionally! 💜❤️💙

Elders' new direction.

by lastmanstanding in

there's been a change.

a rather big one.

and the kevin bunkers of the world beware.. jw elders no longer need to "turn the other cheek".. in the governing bastard's desperation, they have given a new directive to elders.

blisterfeet

I’m not a fan of the Kingdom Hall crashing. Luckily for apostates that have the balls to do it they usually are proud enough to film it one way or another. If an elder really did strike first it would be filmed. The elders do act physically aggressive in some cases. Nothing is done about it anyway. If you can’t beat them, well beat them.

Bohemian Rhapsody

by cofty in

been to see the new film (movie) tonight.

outstanding!

brought back lots of memories.

blisterfeet

I enjoyed this movie a lot! I didn’t learn anything new about mr mercury from the movie, I found it to be a little historically off, the time line was jumbled up. The music was great though and I had no idea when watching it little Timmy from Jurassic park was in it!

Hidden Doctrines

by jhine in

" religions do not volunteer their most offensive doctrines to newcomers ".

the above sentence was posted on another thread as part of a quote taken from jwfacts .

l commented that this was a sweeping generalisation of the kind often made about all religions .

blisterfeet

Why do you find this particular statement offensive? I’m only asking, not trying to attack your feels. In the religions I am familiar with I find the statement to be true. I understand I do not have full understanding of ALL religions, however keeping in mind this is an ex jw forum I think it’s an accurate statement for this one.

does this challenge a belief you hold in a way that inspires you to be defensive of the transparency?

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

by Witness 007 in

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.

blisterfeet

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.
