i remember when paterson was built.

I remember when Paterson was built. The so called Training facility. We were told it was to teach elders what their job was after Armageddon. That was back in 1999. Now I don't hear too much about it. Now its the beautiful new facility in Walkill.

This year’s convention

by lastmanstanding in

two things i noted at this year’s rc.

1) the new teaching with respect to matthew 25:45 which was applied equally to the rank & file jw.

this teaching is also found in the watchtower study for last sunday.. then he will answer them, saying: ‘truly i say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of these least ones, you did not do it to me.. 2) the new armageddon video which was a big shift.

Funny but this is the Modus Operandi of the cult. Keep people afraid and thinking the end is close. Its also the boy who cried wolf. How many times can you cry wolf at the door before people don't listen to you.

One of the big things I have noticed is that people who have gay tendencies seem to care if they are thought to be gay. I am perfectly happy being straight. but call me gay or queer and what ever dude. I could give a rip. I know a guy who was a friend, he is a JW still I believe. He would actually want to beat up gays. Find them and kick their ass. I used to tell him. I think tho protest too much. I don't think he got it. My feeling was some people who defend one way or the other too much seem emotionally involved and may have some gay tendency's . Or maybe just not well adjusted or mature. The human brain is complicated. But like profilers can tell a serial killer or even a potential serial killer because the brain preforms a certain way with a certain outcome 90 percent of the time. So to with gays and straight.

For me it just like what Supreme Court Justice Stewart said in the 60s. I can not define in words pornography but I know it when I see it. With gays. I can tell most times something it not normal. Are there out layers sure. Are they born that way? Who knows for sure. I know some gays who try to act butch to avoid the stereotype. There is a big difference between the school geek who did not play sports and liked math and the guy who wants to braid his hair and pick flowers while wearing speedos. Scum, does your sister lie to herself, tell herself she is not a lesbian? My guess is the cog. DIs. would be high in someone like her.

Very little that is factual in the Bible?

I looks at the bible like I look at Plato or other Greek writings, Just because Troy may have existed but that does not mean Medusa turned people to stone.

On leaving JW's and hating religion...

by Jehalapeno in

jw
friends

it's been nearly 4 years now since i completely woke up to the watchtower lies.. thinking back on my jw life, during the time i believed, the organization truly did teach us to hate all beliefs that were contrary to the watchtower's.. i hated "false" religion.. so, when i finally woke up and applied critical thinking to my beliefs, i just went on hating religion in general...only this time i added jw's to that list.. a few months of waking up, i decided to base my beliefs on evidence.

i didn't want to have a set of beliefs unless there was some logic or evidence behind it.

so, now i consider myself an atheist.. and i kept on hating religion.. within the last six months or so, something has changed.

I hate all religion. But I can tolerate some. I can not tolerate Islam, JWs. Mormons, Scientoligists, Pentecostals, southern Baptists or any radical groups.
