i've noticed how this religion is kind of narrow.
all they ever do is preach, study the watchtower, or their meeting or convention.
no other organized functions that i know of.
But, yeah, I remember sitting at the meeting as a kid, and they would have a watchtower about SEX. I didn't even know what sex was! It makes me cringe that all these little kids are being exposed to this.
So much totally inappropriate stuff like that, that I remember as a kid, and also conducted as an Elder.
I remember making fun of churches who had separate classes for Kids while the parents were hearing a sermon.
I was SOOO WRONG!
jw.org states that they are the true religion.
i was told that it is written in the bible that jw.org is the true religion.
the following is the "alleged" evidence that was presented to me:.
The bible is such a joke, and religion is evil.
So funny how every israeli archaeologist (as well as plenty others) cant find a SHRED of evidence that Moses ever existed, or that those "millions" of fugitives who left egypt, ever existed. Surely one of them would have dropped a knife or hammer or something :) https://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/03/world/africa/03iht-moses.4.5130043.html
Also isn't it funny how the World Empire of Egypt, when it lost ALL its slaves and ALL its ARMY wasn't sacked by any other nation? Were they all just being nice to Egypt?
I could go on and on...
I can't believe I believe all this horse crap for so long. :(
evening all.
my first post - born in but faded 15 years ago before that i was pimo for a number of years.. to put it bluntly the whole jw religion/thing is a crock of shit.
i sort of figured this out for myself before i faded but reading posts and comments on this forum confirms this.
Welcome fellow United fan!
i thought this might catch your eye.
especially if you're a man.. they say thinking about sex is wrong!
that's biologically impossible.
Of course not, sex is bad! :)
So funny how for creatures who were suposed to live "forever" sex and sexuality is such a massive part of our mental and physiological makeup.
Really, is copulation the best way to create a perfect eternal race of worshipers? Is that the best god could come up with?
Within a blink of an eye, the earth would be filled by people? So what are our genitals good for then?
And yes - everyone thinks about sex large parts of they day.
And yes - our hormones demand such, and it is a biological imperative.
Religion has made sex as bad, sinful, and wrong.
Religion has used sex as a way to control people.
Religion has made it so women who are sexual are dirty and bad.
Oral and anal sex is forbidden even in marriage within the Jehovah Witness religion.
OMG THEY ARE THE BEST! Especially anal!
Religion needs to end.

I think its BS. Tribal concoction mixed with folklore and dogma.
No such thing a true religion.
(fyi everyone thinks their religion is true, and all the others are false or not right)
The bible is one of the most hateful collections of writing ever.
Has caused so much war, hatred, pain and suffering.
i notice they commented that "we" should not sympathise with protestors, like the protestors are always right.
sometimes i feel a protest would be a good place for a machine gun, because i do have feelings on different things.
despite their stated neitral stance, the wt is left leaning.
I have seen fewer statements that are more inaccurate than this one.

And you want to kill people who are exercising their rights (at least in America) to speak openly and freely about their issues?
did anyone else notice this?.
tony tightpants has the "morning worship" featurette in the march jw broadcast.. he appears to be hoping that someone will be videotaping the slaughter of 7 billion men, women, and children at armageddon.. quote is something like "we have some really good videographers here at bethel, but i don't think even they could capture what will happen.
still, all things are possible with god..." (not exact, but that is the gist).. and of course morris imagines himself as one of the "anointed", who will be the ones, per wt doctrine, to conduct the slaughter.. it takes a special kind of hubris, arrogance, and sadism to wish that you yourself could be filmed in the act of slaughtering billions of people.. i've encountered a lot of jws with "dark souls", but based on his public comments, i'd say morris has teh blackest one i've seen.. if he says stuff like this for broadcast to 8 million + jws, what does he say in private?
Yes, just like what slimboy said - now - a depiction of what it would look like.
Now why would someone even contemplate wanting a video of 7+ billion people being killed is the real question.
Would this be a good thing to look at?
Maybe it would. Maybe JWs might see that their loving dog is not all that loving after all.
it has always struck me that wt is so very short-sighted in many things.
often, they are very re-active, and not so much pro-active in their reasoning and the way they plan for the future.. just thinking today, and have kicked this one around for a while now.. is the watchtower organization truly sustainable?
is a new monetary structure on the horizon?
Short sighted WT is never an issue when the "Flock" can't remember what they were told to believe last year.
And their expenses are minimal compared to the money they have coming in.
Remember over 2 billion in property sales in a pretty short time.
They have zeroed out or greatly reduced there top expensives over the last 5 or 6 years.
They will continue to do that.
my father in law (robert stillman) killed himself in 1993. after the "new light" came out in 1981 we could no longer have limited contact with dis-fellowedshipped persons.
after years of being shunned by his only family he blow his brains out with a 38 special.
at the time of his death, the only thing bob was doing that wasn’t in line with the society’s rules and regulations was smoking.
Horrible and sad:(

There was a sister when I was growing up who was so so nice, a great person. She was in an Ultra Uber family.
She smoked, could not kick it, got DFed, and eventually killed herself.
I never want to hear anyone say "this is a ?harmless cult".
is it possible that anyone being truthful with themself can literally believe that there needs to be a cork placed in this problem.. if this continues, and most sources, not speaking about fox, are suggesting this is only going to get worse and at this rate there will be over 750k illegal migrants.
how are we suppose to sustain this influx.
the massive amounts of children flooding the schools in my own municipality is crippling, for many of the counties residents.. as an example the entire county offered free breakfast and lunch to all students.
Yes immigration needs to be fixed.
But don't freak out, its at historic lows.
