Proud to be Australian when I see the way this commission is bringing these delusional scum back to reality.

Parents who left 'the truth', here's an example of the threats that your children will no longer be subjected to

by defender of truth in

13 some youths brought up by christian parents may not see the stark contrast between our current spiritual paradise and satans dark world.

some have even been tempted to see what life in the world is like.

but would you run in front of a moving car just to find out how painful and possibly fatal that could be?

2+2=5

The debauched and wicked lifestyle that the world loves.

Playing Billiards with friends?

Sure, seems harmless enough......... WRONG!!!

Billiards with friends always looks like a good time, but your mind-controlled, cultish conscience will hound you for enjoying yourself instead of devoting time your time to theocratic activities.

And all JW's know Sky Daddy is just itching to slaughter those who even think about enjoying violence. Makes sense.

Feeling sad over a wasted life in watchtower

by wannaexit in

friends

it's been 12 years since i first read ray franz's books and the scales came off my eyes.

by that time i was in my forties.. since 2002 i went back to school and have worked with 3 very professional organizations.

but my biological clock is ticking away and while my peers are looking forward to retirement, i am only beginning.

2+2=5

The cult took 28 years from me. I will be 30 next month and I feel bitter as hell about my life wasted as a JW.

What is even sadder is that I have younger siblings who are being raised in this Bronze Age bullshit cult.

It is a tragic shame that cannot be overstated, to see beautiful young people that you love have their lives stolen by this filthy fucking disease of a religion.

Suffering and Universal Sovereignty

by Trapped in JW land in

just heard the special talk about why god allows suffering.

ugh... can't believe i used to believe this crap.

what do you all think of the universal sovereignty issue?

2+2=5

I don’t buy into the idea that the problem of evil dictates that God cannot exist

It doesn't mean he can't exist, it just makes him seem like a sadistic monster. Hardly anyone you could love as a father.

When you boil it all down, the bucks stops with God.

The original creator, the one who always was and who caused all things to be, the source of everything.

This universal sovereign has to take responsibility for all the suffering that has ever taken place.

The WT theoology just paints him as a self-centered, worship craving ego-maniac that is out to prove he is right.........by killing billions of humans.

Upcoming Surgery and Blood

by HeyThere in

i am a newly unbaptised publisher.

recently i found out i need to have major surgery and the jw's tried to rush a blood card in my hand.

i was so relieved when the elders said i could not have one until i was baptised.. but they rushed to get me copies of the blood videos.

2+2=5

Good luck with the surgery. My boy had fairly major surgery this week and required blood.

Get your medical advice from doctors and leave the window cleaning to the elders.

How do you get through the memorial?

by Gorbatchov in

friends

for family reasons, gorby and his wife and children has to visit the hall at april 14. our family accept that we are faders, but don't accept if we do not visit the memorial.. so, it seems a small investment: one evening love bombing for a year peace and rest.. but i hate the visit.

headache.

meeting the people knowing it's all fake love showing.. how do you get through it?.

2+2=5

I am not going for the first time this year. The backlash from family is going to be hell, but it would make me feel physically ill to attend.

I think by attending you give them false hope that you still might come back, or some might think you still "know it's the truth" but are just a spiritually weak individual.

Psalm 103

by kassad84 in

(a psalm of david).

bless the lord, o my soul, and all that is within me bless his holy name.

bless the lord, o my soul, and forget not all that he hath done for thee, who is gracious unto all thine iniquities, who healeth all thine infirmities, who redeemeth thy life from corruption, who crowneth thee with mercy and compassion, who fulfilleth thy desire with good things; thy youth shall be renewed as the eagle's.

law school is obviously not the hardest program to follow.

it isn't something that can be replicated on the internet.

a first year student can find the law.

"When will you humans learn that your 'feelings', as you call them, can stand in the way of big cash payoffs?!"

Thankyou for yet another reminder, you are brilliant. Highly educated and far above most of us poor, uneducated souls here at JWN.

As I slave away in the sun everyday, I often ponder about amazing people such as you, and think myself so lucky that I am even allowed to post on the same forum.

Please don't go. Your humility and reasonableness, along with your short and concise comments that always make perfect sense, will be missed.

However, if you do go, could you at least drop by from time to time and let us know if you are still a lawyer, and still awesome?

Thanks.
