oh, the joys of being one of jehovah’s witnesses, where you get to learn that heaven is a vip lounge for exactly 144,000 people—and sorry, everyone else, you're stuck in the “earth forever” section.

yep, you get to mow grass in paradise while the chosen few float around in immortal glory.

Telling People You Used To Be A JW
by JW_Rogue in
1. jw
2. experiences
since i faded i've told a few people at work about having been raised in this organization but i found that most people don't really get what it is like at all.

they just focus on not celebrating holidays as if that is the worst thing about growing up jw.

i didn't explain much because it's too much for most people to handle.

2. bible
a recurring motif is generally used by writers to connect stories and characters to the past or suggest parallels.

the gospels and acts are filled with them.

an example of this is found at acts, 2 cor, 1 sam and joshua.

PIMA is best so it’s not a shock to the system if the tower collapsed
by JohnR1975 in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i know most people here are totally out and that’s fine.. many these days are staying physically in for the social life and that is also fine.. i feel being fully mentally in is dangerous as it could be such a shock mentally if or should i say when the tower collapsed.. im sitting in the fence like so many others here.

mentally agnostic if god exists or not and if the bible is his word.. when i talk to people who are physically and mentally still in i can tell that they so need it to be true.

i’m worried for them when they wake up to the fact that they have been lied to 1914 wasn’t true 1975 wasn’t true 1999 wasn’t true and now here we are 2025 it’s all not true.

i'm going to drop a bomb shell here for all you who think you know something about depression.

most depression cases are being cause by the food and drug administration.

they are putting things in certain foods that they know will affect certain people especially those who have gluten problems.

1. god hates divorce does that mean we are not expected to divorce at all?

ah, yes, another shining example of the watchtower’s *unmatched* commitment to rational thought.

forget logic, science, or even basic common sense—just blame that suspiciously cursed handbag for all your troubles!

Just because Jehovah had to prove His Right To Rule? I don't think so!
by liam in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
we get old because jehovah had to prove to all the angels that his way of ruling was the best?

that's the sorriest argument the watchtower has come up with.
