if you once were fully pimi and truly believed jw doctrine to the core like i once did, when you come to the reality that it is not the truth at all it can be extremely devastating.. i think only other ex jws could ever understand.
i wasted my entire life i thought the real life was yet to come to wasted the best years knocking on doors.
now i’m so angry.. i can understand why so many top themselves when they realise it was all lies..
"when you come to the reality that it is not the truth ".
Umm. You got that wrong
It is the truth. JWs have the Bible truth.
The problem with JWs is no their understanding of the scripture.
The problem is the organization and how it is a bunch of pharisees.
many who have become disillusioned by some particular recent wt offence, separate from the church physically but retain the indoctrination the wt installed in their brains.
a familiar trope is often used,.
"don't throw the baby out with the bathwater!".
Well, I will tell you that the JWs have the proper understanding of the Bible whereas every other religion and denomination does not. So throw out the organization and congregation, but keep the theology.
been in for 20 plus years but decided to get out with my son.
can’t do this anymore.
never seen such hypocrisy and clickyness anywhere else.
They are not promoting and requiring people to be vaccinated.
inspection year: 1918 result: failed inspection.

Where are you getting this 1918 and 1919 from?
those who will be taken to heaven will first need to be “changed, in a moment, in the blink of an eye, during the last trumpet.” therefore, while we do not use the term “rapture” here because of its wrong connotation, the remaining faithful anointed will be gathered together in an instant of time.
- the watchtower—study edition | july 2015. ok so they refuse to use the word "rapture".
kinda like they refuse to use the word church and clergy (except when it suits their purposes in court cases).
They were not teaching anything like a rapture.
here i will quote a post written by "littleone" on another forum:.
when that original congregation apostasized, it formed the roman catholic church.
was it that the roman catholic church was jehovah's organization?
Let me tell you. JWs have the truth.
I was on Twitter and there are people that believe that we have to follow the 10 commandments and the sabbath.
They are so blind to what Christianity is about. They ignore the clear teachings of the apostles that explain we are not under the Law.
Yes, JWs know the truth about these Bible teachings. No doubt about it
forgive the insensitivity of this but does the wt imagine the "resurrected" bodies of the dead will have useless genitalia?
or will the humans 2.0 have the smooth appearance of a ken doll or the nipple-less breasts of a barbie.
any breasts at all?
Why do you ask?
They will have children.
Must be frutiful and fill the earth.
.....with the name "jehovah.
in all my years, i've never seen such overkill in any jw publication.
is the org worried about something?.
Why is this even an issue for discussion?
study watchtower, p. 10 par.
6 - "a ransom is a price that is paid to buy something back.
(true!
Why do these details matter? We are born, we live and we die. Our understanding and acceptance of that won't change that. The only thing that will change that is if God and/or Jesus does something about it.
the magazine that they are studying in the congregation this month has an article at the back about how pornography in a marriage could damage the relationship.. there's one piece of advice that sounds rather scary, the wt suggests that the couple should "consider asking an elder with whom you are both comfortable to sit in and guide your discussions for a time.".
how many of you would want an elder present in your home while you and your partner discussed your personal sexual cravings and the type of porn videos being watched?.
How is pornography in the marriage any different than going to a restaurant to eat rather than having the wife's or husband's cooking? It is saying that someone else can do something better than the spouse, without the work, but yet there is no jealousy.
