@Gromstik the best thing like you said is avoid debate.

Tw days ago we discussed the 1975 lie. She said they never said anything to lead the brothers to thnik that. She said she read all the magazines etc... it was just the brothers distorting their words.

So I took out the magazines that talked about the remaining months of the system. How only a few years were left. The audio from the 60's saying only 83 months left in this system.

She said where did I get this from... apostate website... I showed her the articles and she said that it is no longer on the Watchtower CD sdo that it cant be confirmed... I said well let me show you in the bound volume over there that you have and she told me thatI better not dare touch it... The truth is something they cant face

Wholly - I was not allowed to associate with her during that period. It hurt us as a family badly because she moved into a small small apartment literally down the street from us. Not even a full block. Yet we could not go see her. You wonder how people end up in these cults and never realize how screwed up they are. Then you look at yourself and think , "Who am I to talk".

@Wholly - so sorry to hear. That is truly sad...

My sister was the black sheep. Because my mother thought she was dating aco-worker she told her @19 she had to be home from work by 8 p.m. or she would be put out. Needless to say she put her out. I was 11 at the time. I was told to never see her because she was in satans hands. Mind you she wasnt even baptized. 2 years went by and we never saw her. She appears with a child. My mother told her, "It is a shame my first grand baby is a bastard..." My sister left again that night... I would get into how wrecked her life became. Ultimately she has 4 boys by 3 men but got her life in order. unfortunately she got baptized a year ago after years of pressure from my mother. Her life is horrible now.

This organization literally produces some of the most screwed up people you will ever met.

This weird feeling of worshipping this loving God who at the same time is sooo eager to kill millions of people at Armageddon. We live in constant fear always hoping we are doing enough to make him happy - when in actuality he asks for very little

I have already penned a response to her... I touched on most of what you guys have mentioned, but midway through I literally just started laughing. I realized that it just doesn't matter anymore. There isnothing I am going to say to change how she feels and if I magically did what good would it server her.

She is 5 years from death and will now realize her entire life was a waste on a giant publishing company lie. If iwas that age and realized that I would shot myself ROFL. I told her that if Jehovah gave everyone the choice to worship him or not.. isn't it better to worship him in the way that you have proven to yourself to be the best as opposed to staying with something you feel is false? How can you argue with this reasoning.

Why is everyone so ready to make god want to kill someone? I tell you the only thing that would make JW's think this religion is false is if they said that ANY CHRISTIAN IS ACCEPTABLE BEFORE GOD. Then people would go nuts and say its a fraud. But tell them only a handful of fanatics will live and they are all for it

@Oubliette - exactly... The funny thing is occasionally when she gets air of the child abuse stuff she gets upset but says, "Jehovah allows these things to happen as a test in his organization - just like the Russian KGB agent that infiltrated the org".So I said isn't it wonderful that Jehovah will allow children to be molested as a test of other peopels faithfulness?!?!?!? She told me to leave ROFL

@Satanus it amazes me that your own mother loves you so much that she can just throw you to the dogs... freaking shame

@ginger - when I would do anything wrong my mother would get us by the collar. Sit us down and read the scripture to us about not sparing the rod... then we would get spanked. All talking came from the "Young people ask book" once the blue one came out I was to read on my own LOL.

Our lives were literally all watchtower all the time. There was a period when we were inactive because of some weird monkey business in the hall but within a short period she was back at it... eventually the rest of the fam,ily came along.

She still has all the bound volumes going back who knows how many years but has literally taped them all closed so that "She is not persuaded by old light". It is a freak show

@ Oubliette - I mentioned this to here a million times and she says, "You are just trying to have a debate over words". So she twists a scripture and then twists another to prove her point ROFL. It hurts my face thinking about this. However, after 55 years how much can actually change. She has run herself in to the ground. She is deathly sick all the time and barely hanging on to life... Yet she goes out in service as a pioneer every single day. She is retired and gets like 110 hours a month. I think as mind blown said," I now figure they need to believe this crap for thier own loses in life."

When you have devoted 55 years of your life with 32 of them as a full-time pioner to something there is no reason to let it go

@Flipper - Thank man... It makes me feel bad to say those things about my mom but makes me feel great that I am not insane for thinking them LOL.

My brother has always been the favorite because he is like her: ex-missionary / bethelite / CODE etc... so the two of them together are just too much to handle. The very idea that she can ask me if I love my children totally sent my wife over the edge and now my wife said she will never speak to her again LOL.

At this point in life I am literally just waiting for her to slip into dementia so then I don't have to keep hearing this stuff. She was baptized when she was 9 and a half years old - so after 55 years of hardcore indoctrination I have to expect she should be insane. The worst part is that all of her quotes that are suppose to be so heart-warming are like copy and paste jobs from the Watchtower LIBRARY ROFL ROFL ROFL

Quote regarding the first century not questioning the letters fom paul

by sosoconfused in

does anyone know what watchtower that quote comes from?

i am penning a letter to someone and i can't find it anywhere?.

sosoconfused

There was a quote in a ragazine that said "First century Christians accepted the letters of Paul without the need to check and make sure the info was from Jehovah" it was something along those lines. I cant reallllly remember at the moment LOL it was a shot in the sark I guess

@Billy - you would marvel at the proverbial bubble of my family. My dad has 13 brothers and sisters. I have met two of them. They are both worldly so I only saw them once at a funeral for a guy I called my grandfather that I wasn't allowed to see because he was a baptist... My mom has 4 brothers and all of them are forsaken because they are not witnesses.

I have literally hundreds of cousins and as you can see 20 plus uncles and aunts. I do not know any of them. When my grandmother was dying we were with her for about 2 months. The only family that we saw was the immediate family. We had no friends and we were not allowed access to our relatives because they are worldly. When my mom went to the hospital she was there a week and had no way to alert her family because no one knew there numbers or where the lives. This witness thing has literally made us a family of hermits. PATHETIC.

2 yeaars ago my "successful business" was a tool of Satan trying to pull me away from Jehovah. Now its a blessing that Jehovah is going to pull away.

My dad has assured me he isn't going to the elders... but she sure will because she thinks it is best. LOL

If iI wanted to call a relativeI have no way of doing so because we don't even know their names. Worse still if I did manage to magically find one they would have no idea who I was or why they should even care
