  101 ways Jehovah's Witnesses are the embodiment of George Orwell's 1984

  victory mansions/cigarettes/gin/square.

  anything jehovah's witnesses get to name is either "watchtower," "kingdom," or "new world," be it road, house, farm, forest, hall, or bible.. .

  he took down from the shelf a bottle of colourless liquid with a plain label marked victory gin.

  Seriously considering stepping down as Elder

  by fader77 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have been an elder for 6 years.

  it's been the last 2 years or so that i've really seen the hypocrisy, but the ability to know the shenanigans of the society through the body of elders letters has kind of kept me in there.

  i'm to the point now that i can't stand the hatred and bitterness that the body of elders has towards myself and my whole family.

  fader, sounds like it's high time for you to take care of fader. My personal experience has been that the longer you live for other people's supposed happiness, you stop learning how to be happy yourself. (((hugs)))

  Full-time service is MORE IMPORTANT than taking care of elderly parents!!! It says so in the Sept 2014 WT

  by EndofMysteries in

  2. beliefs

  paragraph 20 out of the article in the sept 2014 study wt about fulltime service says this.... .

  "full-time servants age, and so do their parents.

  when parents are witnesses, likely their fondest wish is for their children to stay in their assignments.

  Goodbye JW net

  by snare&racket in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  forgive me for indulging in a goodbye but it would feel wrong not to,.

  i hope the discussions and atmosphere here do not change for it is a bubbling brew of doubt, bravery and sincere hunger for answers.

  these are healthy ingrediants for humans and especially for a jehovah's witness.. this forum offers not just the ability to ask without consequence, but it also offers the means to be real.

  it is now almost six years since i left the witnesses.

  many things have happened in the meantime.

  in the beginning, right after i found out that i had been raised in a cult and all the fairytales ive been told for so many years were just this- fairytales, i had the strong urge to do something.

  I have family members who would be lost without the structure of the Borg. One actually voiced a fear of having to make their own decisions and so chose to become reinstated after being df'ed.

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  how long will it be before witnesses start getting jewellery made up with jw.org as the pendant?.

  can you imagine a nice gold neck chain, with a diamond jw.org hanging from it?.

  or a small ring with the logo on it?.

  And that eBay auction is Private so the "buyer's identity is protected." Wonder why the seller feels that's necessary?

  AND you can purchase a pioneer service school pin and one with the soon-to-be-obscure watchtower symbol.

  ??? Love never fails ???

  by Zoos in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  1 corinthians 13:8 - love never fails.... .

  i've always thought it meant that where love once existed it will always exist, always be felt no matter what happens.

  the last few years have forced me to abandon that understanding in favor of new light.. now i'm thinking: love never fails to be the appropriate way to handle any given situation.
