  JW.org is a real estate and publishing company disguesd as a religion.

  since my awakening i have tried to understand why and how people could continue to believe so blindly in a proven false "religious" cult that has such an extensive and detailed record of scandals, lies and cover ups???

  i've come to the personal conclusion that there are three major reasons.

  i call them the 3 f-ups!

  Yes it is. And anymore it's not much of a publishing company. That's probably why they're constantly begging for money at every turn.

  Lee, thanks for sharing.

  You and I actually spoke on the phone more than a decade ago. At that time you were trying to recruit me into the movement of reforming the org.

  I'm glad you've finally realized the futility of that well-intentioned but hopelessly naive idea.

  Great story. Well written and informative. Many newer ones won't be familiar with the Bulgarian Scandal.

  Thanks for sharing!

  Gotta love this actual quote from the letter:

  “Your congregation has not been selected [but], ... please be assured of our warm Christian love and best wishes.”

  Incredible. Sadly, it's nothing new really, just a more virulent strain of cult-behaviour.

  This religion destroys families. That's the truth, the real truth.

  Prayers ,are they answered ? or is it just self delusion ?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  after 33 years as a jw and leaving 25 years ago i think prayer can be summed up with the jews praying at the wailing wall.. all they are doing is talking to a brick wall ,and getting no feed back.

  and they expect an answer to their prayers ?!.

  christians /other beliefs might find that funny but they are no better off.. prayer is always a one way street you talk either vocally or mentally to god however you never get the same back .. if god " so loved the world that he doesnt want any to be destroyed but have everlasting life " then whats the problem with him audibly answering his servants prayers ?

  If you talk to God, you are praying. If God talks to you, you have schizophrenia

  PREDICTION: Expect similar follow up letters for Irma ... Jose ... and Katia.

  The GB and the rest of the WT leadership are nothing more than heartless and immoral opportunists seeking to greedily benefit from the tragic losses suffered by others. Letters like this right from the source are clear proof of that.

  It's important that we continue to expose them for who and what they are!

  This religion destroys families. Some see through it and put their families first. In my experience, most do not.

  It's shameful.
