You owe me 2 minutes of life!
i'm 16 and it seems like most the people on this forum are adults.
i would think since most teenagers have tablets/smartphones there would be more on here but maybe not?
it would be nice to meet some other young people.
Hey Dis3 I see you've just joined up so a big welcome. You might want to mention what username your mum has to Blackwolf. Everyone needs to stay safe on here, ok honey. Have fun
i asked him what happened.
he said "him and his wife lived a full theocratic life for jehovah.
doing everything the organization and the traveling brothers told them to do, like work part time, regular pioneer, serve where the need is great.
I'm struggling to understand how this organization has been allowed and is still allowed to exist legally. It literally steals peoples lives and causes horrendous damage. It's the weirdest charitable organization I ever came across. It preys on people with good intentions like a cancer. It literally does not give a rat's ass about anyone other than to make sure everyone is enslaved to serve the so-called purpose of a loving organization.
Where are the retirement homes huh? With all your property you'd think you could manage to build some retirement homes for the elderly who are living on rations and stay cold in their beds because they can't afford heating as they have NOTHING to live on after a life of unpaid service... it never mentions it. Like this problem doesn't exist. But don't complain just wait on Jehovah. Yeah, don't embarrass us or we'll make you feel guilty for telling us you have no food! If someone had a brain in that Watchtower they'd realize they need to start playing the long game if they want to survive. Instead they remain as a seedy little pyramid, death cult, property scheme. 8.2 million members in 140 years is a total joke! A JOKE! You don't even offer your own members a hot meal! What kind of joke are these people???? arrrgh!
My heart weeps in my burning rage.
hesitantly i attended this talk with my family and sat through it without batting an eye.. mentally i take myself out during the entire meeting some would describe this as daydreaming or zoning out.
whatever the case may be, for some reason this particular speaker, whom i know of but not personally, got my attention the way he would say certain phrases.
he cited some texts that directly advised the audience that faith in christ was the only way to salvation.

“the soul that does something deliberately [footnote says “with uplifted hand”] whether he is native or an alien resident, he speaking abusively of jehovah’s word, in that case that soul should be cut off from among his people.” (numbers 15:30).
according to this verse, acting with “high-handedness” and “speaking abusively of jehovah’s word” constitute disfellowshipping offence.
1) “high-handedness” is something that jws themselves silently experience from jb, hence require no witness or proof.
3) By teaching that God Almighty felt ‘challenged and taunted’ by one of His own creatures is “sinning against holy spirit” which according to Jesus is an unforgivable sin in this system of things and in that to come. (Mathew 12:32)
''WOT?''
dear sisters,.
when you are fortunate enough to be in the presence of a jw penis you must take care to show the proper respect for it!
doesn't matter if said penis is prepubescent!
@purrpurr - thank you! I cried laughing!
this is a very deep, complicated article.
that said it offers great hope for finding effective treaments for parkinsons, alzheimers, lou gerhrig's disease and huntington's.. it concerns autophagy - an internal housekeeping system used by cells to get rid of defective proteins.. more than the above, it could lead to a cure for aging itself!.

@smiddy - You might want to have a look on earthclinic.com for posts by 'Ted'. Ted's not well himself at the moment - he suffered a massive stroke last year so he can't respond to any comments as he's still in recovery but I see he's left information for someone else about Parkinson's. At the bottom of each page click the tab to go to next page. Here's the link;

Ted's got a lab and he treats patients - He worked in USA for a long time, now he's back home in Bangkok. He posts all his findings on there. He's legit. Let me know if you need help with anything... hope your wife's feeling better soon.
@Stillin - Lost my faith a long time ago when the doc wanted me to drink radio-active fluid. Er, NO! I'll cure myself thanks! And I did! Poor doctors are being blindsided with their schooling! Never seen so much corruption in all my life as the state of the medical profession. It's a disgrace.
hi people,.
i want as much data as possible on the effect of the internet on the time captured by the cult.. please answer the three following questions about yourself or about someone you know (for example, if your parents or grandparents were jw's and left).
1) were you raised as a jw, or did you convert?.
1) Born-in/raised
2) 1994 (Baptized aged 15yrs old but was born-in soo...)
3) 1998 (I left in 1998 but wasn't fully mentally out until learning TTATT in 2008)
4 years from Baptizm to leaving but 19 years from birth to leaving or 14 years from baptizm to learning TTATT or 30 years from birth to learning TTATT????
(Sorry for all the info but it annoys me to write 4 years being a witness when really it destroyed 30 years of my life)
