  because i simply decided the watchtower corporation wasn't the truth(tm) i was da'd in a secret jc that i didn't attend.

  i was writing songs with a friend that day instead.. jws wasted no time in labelling me as an evil villain.

  the rumours abounded.. i was labelled as 'a false prophet'.

  In JW-land you don't have friends; you have co-worshippers.

  If you stop "co-worshipping" ... they are done with you.

  Welcome! I enjoyed your story, especially since I have been in the same shoes as your husband, having helped my wife to see TTATT and now our whole family is together out of the cult. Congratulations.

  Introduction - Any Believers?

  by Believer in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i’ve been reading it for a few of years off and on, but have been a little too ... maybe ... timid to join.

  i left the watchtower organization almost 20 years ago but never abandoned my faith and belief in god.

  i knew the gb/organization didn’t represent god, so when i lost my faith in them, i managed to keep my faith in an all wise benevolent creator.

  My belief died a natural death once I had the courage to confront it with evidence and facts. I never became angry with God. How can I be angry at someone I can't be sure even exists? At best, if there was once a creator divinity that kickstarted life and then left for unknown regions of the universe, does not merit my worship and service in the same way a biological father who never cared for me wouldn't merit my love. Perhaps my curiosity, that's all.

  However I am angry at those liars and deceivers who claim to speak for God, using bogus holy books as a source of their authority. They deserve to be exposed, ridiculed and opposed.They, and the ideas they spread, do not deserve any respect.

  In my experience, I always go to the "Latest" on the top bar first, because it presents the last posts on all topics in reverse chronological order (most recent first). It's a good way to keep track of the latest discussions.

  I think that, ultimately, we all aim to become ex-ex-JWs. But, while that process lasts, we dissipate our negative energy by helping and supporting others on their journey out of the Org. At least, that's how I see it.

  Does anybody know if the WTS, invests in the 2 companys of Lockheed Martin & Grumman Northrop, which are 2 of the biggest weapons suppliers?

  by Dunedain in

  i read in another thread, where it said that the wts, has investments from stocks, with the companys of lockheed martin and grumman northrop.

  these are some of the biggest weapons suppliers to the us,uk, and israel.

  i would think it would be very hypocritical for a christian organisation, that claims to be nuetral, and to "learn war no more", to invest money in companys that produce weapons, that are used in wars.. is this true, though?

  My question regarding the Henrietta Riley fund is:

  What if she is merely a figurehead that allowed her name to be used, and the money invested in that fund is in fact Watch Tower Society's money? Is that a far-fetched idea?

  You see, the fund was setup in the 1970's, and the said Henrietta M. Riley died in 1945. Who decided that her supposed estate should be invested in a trust fund, and when?
