  Charging $150 To Tell Your Stories

  by Bangalore in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/how-to-escape-from-jehovah-s-witnesses-religion#/.

  for $150: collaboration with the backer so that their story of successfully escaping an abusive belief system (300 words max) features along with others in the final pages of how to escape from jehovah's witnesses.

  the text will be written by the author but will include a minimum of one quote worded by the backer.

  Remember when Cedars wrote an open letter to the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses offering advice on reforming the religion?

  In hindsight, I think it was just envy for their ability to fleece the flock.

  Hell Exists

  by Poppy520 in

  2. beliefs

  many people of all denominations are beginning to believe that hell does not exist - but the bible supports the claim that it does.

  examine this verse, one under nkjv and the other nwt:.

  nkjv - matthew 25:46, "and these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.".

  Crazy statements from JWTalk

  by Jehovah lol in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm sure many of you are aware of the jwtalk site, a message board which has yet to succumb to apostasy (give it time).. some of the forums there are visible to the public, and i've seen some crazy stuff.

  here is a sampling:.

  "satan is really trying his best to make things worst for the witnesses, knowing the 6,000 years is almost up, from eve's creation!".

  If I wanted to listen/read what crazy JWs have to say, I would go to the Kingdom Hall or JWTalk.

  Much good advice here. You have to understand and expect that you will lose 100% of all friends and social contacts. This will be hurtful but a sad fact of leaving. They may still greet you in public places but will never be close with you again. Start making new friends now to help lesson the hurt. Don't worry about hurting them, they are the ones who choose to shun not you.

  If you don't want to get DF, don't express any of your doubts to anyone, period!

  If people ask, keep it vague, 'Dealing with personal issues, thank them and let them know you will reach out to them if needed'. If they keep pressing, and some will, just repeat that statement. 'personal issues' are just that, personal. They will get the point and stop asking.

  Enjoy the rest of your life!

  My unbelieving husband was offended by the WatchTower just studied

  by Isambard Crater in

  2. beliefs

  it was the paragraph talking about people who don't want to be j.w's being executed, and it being an act of compassion from jehovah towards his witnesses..

  Freak out over a magic 8 ball toy

  2. beliefs

  just had a jw freak out over some magic 8 balls that i have.

  next thing you know i turn my head and it was thrown into a box to get rid of it.

  is it because it has the word magic in it?

  I have found that the Magic 8 ball has about the same success rate as praying to Jehovah for answers.

  Did you leave the JW RECENTLY? Really? Recently? WTF were you thinking?

  by The Real Edward Gentry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  not to be overly harsh...but if you just left, what the hell were you thinking?

  between 1995 and now, you never did an internet search of "jehovahs-witness" or "watchtower"?

  good god.

  My stepson got a tat of a Rooster on the calf of his leg.

  "Why?" I asked.

  So he could tell everyone that he had a cock that hangs below his knees.

  True story.

  What exactly is the JANUARY 2018 WT trying to tell J.W.'s?

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the needle has been stuck on the record for over 130 years - thanks to mr. russell and his successive cohorts:.

  page 11, paragraph 19 - “as this system nears its end,....”.

  page 13, paragraph 5 - “do my actions show that i truly believe that these are the last days and that the end of satan’s rule is near?”.

  This tactic must still be effective at some level on many of the flock. It's hard to teach old dogs new tricks.

  When I hear "the end... so close... yada yada yada" , I hear Charlie Brown's teacher talking.

  Pause icon design

  by The Real Edward Gentry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hello: back in the 60's, i knew a designer for the ampex corporation.

  one day, f. arden farey, the manager of industrial design gave him the task to create an icon for pause since the company was marketing in foreign markets and the word "pause" didn't translate well in most foreign languages.

  he looked at pause and finally decided that it was a "sorta" stop.
