Most Witnesses want to keep their head in the sand and think everything is beautiful. She will problably do nothing except grumble to herself a bit and forget you. In time this will pass.

"but they look more like born again Christians. What do you
think? Thanks, Libby"
There all JW's. The JW in the middle was a former Pentacostal but he forgot himself when he raised his hands and become the last Armegeddon victim. It was sad but everyone kept smiling because what's another dead body when there are 6 billion of those littering the ground?

DO you REALLY think this is THE END OF JW's?

everytime a new revelation comes to the board, some suggest that this is the big one.

whether it be the blood issue, the u n debacle, the silentlambs saga, some cryptic comment about jw's and their involvement with churches, it seems like nothing effects the jehovah's witnesses rank and file.

personally.

The Alchemist

There weakness is their need for the money from the mags etc. People are just going to stop the frantic pace (already happening). and The money will dry up. And so will "Jehovahs blessings" in the minds of the dubs. So it will weaken further and further. Eventually there will be less than 100,000 dubs in America and maybe a few million world wide. Their teachings will change and become more mainstream. They will sell of much of their printerys and properties and become like the churches in all ways including a heavenly calling for everyone. A few quirks here and there but at least you can celebrate birthdays with the new light.

Why do WOMEN remain Believers???

the following is merely my opinion on the issue and while some may disagree and that is their right im sure that there are those who will fully understand what i am talking about- (aint it nice to be able to disagree and not be called wicked smile).

since leaving wt and looking back i have been often wondered and it has.

The Alchemist

So a belief in an ancient equal rights feminist religion or culture is nonscience simular to the Nazi belief in an ancient Aryan super race and a religion made up around it. Both phanton cultures never existed but were created to serve a modern day belief system.

Was there Intent?

by jelly in

i have noticed that many people that grew up as a jw have a very difficult time leaving the org.

the obvious reason is the fact that they are going to be rejected by their entire social circle and family.

but on a personal level i have noticed the culture of the average dub tends to keep them shackled also.. for instance the meeting arrangement; the multitude of meetings seemingly effect witnesses in three ways:.

The Alchemist

I think there is an overiding reason that I have never seen stated. It is fear of death. The WT has destroyed any belief in life after death. To reject the Org. is to reject their teachings AND their hope. That means that someday we will grow old and die...and then what? For many including myself at one time it was an unthinkable thought. So it is easier just to keep believing and hopeing and waiting and waiting some more.
I do not think the Org set out to do this on purpose but I believe they do All things to enslave and keep people down and under their thumb. Such as "we are not sons of God", "the two class system" and so. I think it was mostly Rutherfords doing. He should be on a list of one of the evilist men of the 20th Century, Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, Bin Laudin, Rutherford...

It is a great spoof of the exact argumentation used by the WT in their "Question from the Readers." It's really brilliant.

I have had only daughters. So you mean to tell me I got another 50 years of trying? Ye ha!
