  Indoctrinated at "church camp"

  man, i can't believe how gullible people are.

  my friend was an atheist, but recently went to a "church camp" for four days.

  now she's back, and she said she's a new person.

  regret my "former" life as a Witness

  by Richie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  disassociating yourself slowly or quickly is a matter of perspective; think about it: you lose either way, i.e.

  the witnesses will treat you like you've become part of the "bodysnatchers" of the world and no matter how you rationalize it, there is no honorable way out in the eyes of the witnesses.. i was df'd about 1.5 years ago (as they said that i left the organization so it was entirely my fault, but little do they know that their organization left me, as i appealed the gb's decision), and the sudden break-off of family and friends in the truth is always devastating to say the least - it's an emotional explosion which in your wildest dreams would normally never ever happen....i can now understand what death means, at least in the beginning....yes i was dead though living - even though when i went back to the meetings afterwards, i could feel the lonely emptiness, the non-existence of myself.

  yet when by accident i would be gazing straight into the eyes of one of my (former) friends, he would just stare past me as if i didn't exist at all even though i attempted to smile at him in indicating respect to him....how convenient for them to ignore a fellow friend and instead make me feel like the lowest person on earth - but then..of course they were taught to respond in this manner to anyone who is df'd.... then i though to myself...what would happen when eventually i would be re-instated: yes, then after the announcement most would want to see me at the end of the meeting all happy and oh so loving and wanting to be my best friend all over again - in a heartbeat they'll change from zombies to angelic like mortal creatures of love.... for this very reason i cannot return to the meetings in the hope of wanting to be re-instated and have this hypocrisy again heaped upon me like tentacles.

  my little seven year old went to church with a neighbor kid last wednesday evening.

  i thought the class would just be a few bible stories and color something, and since my husband and i want our children to be exposed to all kinds of beliefs and religions, i let her go.

  boy, was i wrong.

  One World Government?

  by chappy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the basic tenets of the wt org.

  has been the establishment of a one world government.. you may have noticed news reports today on the g8 summit in italy and the demonstrations and riots associated with it.

  there have also been lots of other public discord at some of the earlier international summits like the wto conference in seattle wash.last year.

  Has anyone felt like leaving God altogether?

  by lookingnow22 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know that the answer is yes, but it would help me to hear your sentiments on this.

  .

  after you decided that the wbts, and thus jw's were not god's chosen earthly organization did you feel like you wanted to leave and forget god altogether?.

  WHY THE WORLD IS DOOMED

  by You Know in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in referring to the preflood world, peter said that the heavens and the earth had been stored up with water, and that by those means the world of that time suffered destruction when it was deluged with water.

  the christian prophet went on to say: "by the same word, the heavens and the earth that are now stored up for fire and are being reserved to the day of the judgment and of the destruction of ungodly men.

  in furtherance of highlighting the apostate's blasphemy that jehovah is going to come streaking out of the clear blue sky one fine day and slaughter billions of innocents while they sleep in their beds, the apostle's brief comments on the topic of jehovah's judgments contains some interesting insights.

  144,000

  by Bruce144 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hl giancula,.

  the signs and wonders that jehovah gave us, added to the bible writings completes the bible's outline directed to us.

  by using the animals representing certain people it just makes it easier to understand jehovah's direction.. besides this, the number 144,000 stands alone with its exact numbeerrneeded in heaven.
