Qualifying For A Kingdom Hall Funeral

by minimus in

jw
friends

one of the most despicable things i can remember is having the elders determining whether or not you “qualified” for proper funeral services in a kingdom hall and if the talk could be given by an elder.

people are hurting terribly and the family is then told, even though the deceased was a member of the congregation, they still weren’t good enough to qualify for proper burial services per the congregation!

Its because the Funeral is all about it being a Recruitment Talk.

Nothing to do with comfort.

I bucked that and gave funeral talks for the family, and not a recruitment talk.

The 3 I gave were amazingly well received by the families, friends, and unbelieving family there.
I had older respected JWs ask me to give theirs when they died.
I had elders who praised them.

And I had a small group of jealous elders from my area use them against me to try and get me removed, cuz I did not follow the outline to their liking.

Funny enough, the month after the last one I gave, the outline changed to make it easier to do the talk the way I did.

Ironically, this event aided me in Fading immensely!

JUNE 2019 Watchtower: Higher Education - HQ & Bethels are populated with evil, educated folks!

by The Fall Guy in

how alienated from jehovah and un-christian so many bethelites must be, who finished their higher education and gained their degrees!

i don't know how they can live with their consciences!.

pages 6 & 7, pars.

WillYouDFme

OMG! First of all - this is all made up, it is NOT a real story. Just like most of the "real life" experinaces

What challenges did she face? She admits: “Studying for my courses took so much time and effort that I was too busy to linger in prayer to Jehovah

Really, she couldn't linger? WTF?

I am ashamed to admit that the education I pursued taught me to be critical of others

For the millionth time - JW Double Speak - Critical thinking = being critical of others. (what colleges do to you)

I HATED THAT SO MUCH even as a True Believer!

Critical thinking is the ability to examine something and weigh it on merritt and evidence, not "BELITTLING" others - AKA Elder the WT and the GB.

CULT CULT CULT!!!

Jws don't really have "communities" or "functions" like churches do?

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.

WillYouDFme

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!

Is JW.Org the true religion?

by Maria Nieves in

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:.

WillYouDFme

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. :(

Howdie!

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!

And JW's are not allowed to think about sex? O_o

by nowawake14 in

jw
friends

i thought this might catch your eye.

especially if you're a man.. they say thinking about sex is wrong!

that's biologically impossible.

WillYouDFme

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.

march broadcast about neutrality

by road to nowhere in

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.

WillYouDFme

I have seen fewer statements that are more inaccurate than this one.

Sometimes I feel a protest would be a good place for a machine gun,

And you want to kill people who are exercising their rights (at least in America) to speak openly and freely about their issues?

March broadcast - Tightpants Tony wants to be filmed in action

by sir82 in

jw
friends

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?

WillYouDFme

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.
