How Long Does This Religion Have Left?

by pale.emperor in

the generation that will be no means pass away have passed away.. the 144,000 were sealed up in 1935, oh, no wait, we got that wrong, we still have some.. russel is the faithful and wise servant... oh, no he wasn't it was me, rutherford... no, actually, we got that wrong it's knorr... erm, no we mean the governing body.. shunning is pagan, true christians would never do that (1946)... oh, actually, we should do that too.. the revelation book has been re-written.. the un is the satan's visible organisation.. wtbs signs up for fellowship with the un in 1991.. exposed in the guardian newspaper so ends it's fellowship in 2001.. the greatest man book is now obsolete and replaced with another jesus book.. the mags are reduced in pages.. encouraged to use tablets instead of actual books to save paper (money).

halls being sold off.. congregations sharing halls.. society owned buildings being sold off.. video pertitioning for money only last year to fund a new building.. bethelites reduced.. missionaries sent back home.. young members leaving.. long time members discovering the history and leaving.. how long do you think this religion has left?

i cant see it being here in another 100 years.

I'd say there will always be some crack pots who believe the nonsense. I do however see a decline in the future. There are too many young people who are technologically savvy who can do research and find out what its all about. Young ones who are raised in it tend to rebel and leave which is great. I think once the older die hard witnesses die off the religion as a whole will slowly decline into just being a fringe group of looneys.

Thanks! I'm very happy I"m out too. It worries me sick that my parents and super indoctrinated little brother are going to do something stupid because of this cult. I drop little things on them too occasionally. I usually get the "dont bring your apostate stuff to our home" lecture but to me its worth trying.

Thanks! And I'm not sure, but its definitely possible. I've only been out for about 10 months and I still spend time with my deeply indoctrinated parents who are always talking doomsday. I'm sure the indoctrination is still affecting me even though I don't believe it to be true anymore. I think what we go through as jw kids affects us for a lot longer than we realize as well, or at least it has in my case.

Ok so last night I had the scariest dream. My children and I were at the convention and everyrhing was going fine. Then AM||| gets on stage and asks the attendants to lock all exit doors on the convention site. He proceeds to say the GB have gotten New Light that says no is the time to go ro Paradise. He says we will be saved fro, the great tribulation by following their instructions and not fighting the decision. He then proceeded to have a vat of some drink (just like jonestown) brought onstage and says everyone has to drink it. The first ones who do collapse and die. Im freaking out because i have my babies and that isnt what i want. I try to call my husband who is non jw but the phone signal have been jammed. I woke up in a sweat and my heart racing. Its scary to think this is somehing that could actually happen to my family or me and my babies if i hadnt made the decision to leave. Anyone else ever have nightmares like this?

Demon possesion, bunch of crap or?

by raven in

i've been using the forum to vent and post a lot more frequently lately as a venting purpose & way to obtain peace of mind with the craziness i've been going through recently as i fade away form the org.

anyways today i'm sitting here at work and thinking to myself about demons... ok i know this sounds crazy but has anyone else out there been traumatized by the thought of demons?

i had a dream the other night, just flat out spooky and i woke and couldn't help but feeling it may have been evil ole' satan and his demons at it again.. i don't want to believe that, (trying not to, & just brushing it under the rug so to speak) but have any of you out there been talked up about demons?

freemamaof3

I remember having bad dreams as a child and my mom telling me it was demons attacking me. I was so scared all the time. I was afraid to sleep alone in my room. I had to have a light on all the time. I cant imagine telling my kids something like that to scare them. I prayed to Jehovah so much as a kid to protect me from demons. I am so angry at my mom for that fear. It was unnecessary. And cruel.

This cracked me up. You weirdo. (just kidding) Until recently I had a horrible fear of all things demon related or satan related. I knew for sure he was out to get me. I suggest doing some reading on how our brains function. Look into having disrupted sleep wake cycle, look into sleep paralysis, and also how we find patterns in the dark when there are none. It really eases my mind when i have scary dreams and i can remember that they are from phobias ingrained in my young mind by a cult, rather than actual supernatural things. Our eyes and brains can certainly deceive us. I thought sure when I read all the Harry Potter series that I missed out on as a youth that I'd be demon raped, alas, no such luck. Not even so much as a blanket tug.

The smug arrogance of "having the truth".

by stuckinarut2 in

has anyone noticed that witnesses (from the top down) seem to have a quiet form of smug arrogance toward all non witnesses?.

perhaps it comes from being told how "special and unique" they are but they end up looking down on all normal members of the community because they are not witnesses.. so any form of "love" they show those in the territory is also limited as long as they accept the message...otherwise they are viewed contemptuously as "worldly" and therefore of little value...after all,they will be destroyed right?.

My mother is one of those smug jerks. She acts so arrogant when it comes to bible knowledge. I used to be proud of how much she knew but now its just embarrassing. I have read the bible. It made me an atheist. I believe evolution is a fact. So when I hear her talk about how she owned someone in a bible discussion my stomach gets all squirrely feeling and I just feel so ashamed. I don;t know what causes the smugness. Shes just an average publisher. She thinks I'm the biggest idiot because I think everything I was raised to believe is based on bronze age family stories and imagined success.

A question for NEWBIES , especially if you would have died for your beliefs , and / or if you have been a long time in the religion .

by smiddy in

i`m just curious as to how you came across this site or any other "apostate" site for that matter especially now when the internet on the one hand is so demonized when it comes to the subject of jehovah`s witnesses , except of course for jw.org ,.

was it by accident ?

somebody has mentioned it to you ?

freemamaof3

I've sort of always been a rebel. When I heard that the internet was "a device of satan to get us to look at apostate websites" at a circuit assembly and was firmly told by my mother to never visit them, I promptly went home and visited them. Mind you I was 24 and lived on my own with my children and husband at this time lol Once a rebel always a rebel i suppose. I left the org in August 2015.
