Rivercrest Luxury Apartments

by tezrichmond in

i was totally p***d off about watchtower teaching u should keep your life simple and not investing in treasures in the earth etc while they are buying luxury apartments and forcing its residents out on the street including children.

so i got on with an email and sent it as follows.

if any from uk want to launch a complaint go to http://www.frsb.org.uk/donors/.

The wts is nothing more than a real estate company using unwitting members to fund their purchases.

Wake up, people....please wake up.

Still watching, but had to share these well-made points:

1. Religion should not be hereditary. (If it's your personal relationship with the god of your choosing, it should have nothing to do with anyone else.)

2. Anytime you've taken away a child's freedom of choice, you've taken away that child's spirit.

every meeting there's a new plea for money?!

by purrpurr in

wow!

i haven't been here for a while and everything's changed!.

anyway i've been really noticing how at every meeting it seems there's yet another new thing that needs funding or another reminder to donate.

cultBgone

PurrPurr, good to see you again. Great topic, thanks for the post.

Kaik, thanks for sharing your mom's feelings, it helps us all to know that many of the dubs are questioning the money trail.

BerryGerry, thanks for sharing this great film clip. Definitely sheds light on the fact that religion is a sales racket.

My dub aunt thinks Obama is mentioned in the bible.

by Jehovah lol in

she's not even american and doesn't live in the usa so it's not even her area of political awareness really.

she seems convinced that obama is the prophesied wolf in sheep's clothing mentioned in revelation.. it's unusual for non-us dubs to hold the weirder beliefs, so this is a new one for me.

she also said that the end is very close now and that things are a foot with north korea; it's clearly the king of the north.. she said exactly the same thing 5 years ago about china, and exactly the same thing 10 years ago about iraq.. derp derp..

cultBgone

Welcome to the forum, jah LOL!

Interesting observation and thanks for sharing. In the US, I'm not sure the dubs even know what "king of the north" means. I guarantee my family members could not explain it.

Do current JWs like to have Bible discussions?

by Magnum in

on another thread rufus t. firefly made this interesting comment:.

my wife is a "zealous" regular pioneer who never talks about the bible or "the truth" and who has no interest in conducting a bible study with anyone.

this is how one remains a jw.. i decided to start a new thread to discuss this, since i didn't want to veer completely off the topic of the original thread.. i can relate to what rufus said - not concerning my wife, but other close jw family members.

cultBgone

Magnum, I see the same thing and saw it well before I faded. Years ago, you were considered spiritual if you enjoyed bible discussions, but I don't see that happening anymore.

On the plus side, whenever I wish to make a point without sounding "apostate", I just use the bible as my reference point...along with the ever-popular "would Jesus do that?"

Silent Lambs, the site

by zebagain in

if you have not looked in for a time then have a look now.

i feel sick that i ever supported the wt org and its teachings.

cultBgone

Thanks for the reminder, Zeb. Silent Lambs was the first place I felt emboldened to write of my daughter's molestation in the bOrg. Even though I didn't have the courage to permit them to publish it, it was a step toward healing. This is not my story but is a powerful illustration of what happens when we all begin to speak out against the abuse:

Site issues: Dec 27 Update

by Simon in

here's the current status:.

performance improvements have been made to make things slicker.. the "remember me" issue should now be fixed.. sign-in captcha can be affected by ad-blockers so consider disabling those.. sign-in email is case-sensitive - until i update this consider using your forum username instead.. ie stalls on "queued for processing" when posting a topic or reply but the post has been made (just navigate to active or refresh the topic if replying).. i will be working through issues today and contacting anyone who had sign-in issues to check if they still have problems.. many thanks again for your patience while we work through these teething problems..

cultBgone

Hi, Simon -- thanks for the new site and all your hours that have gone into its inception. It does have a cleaner look and some great features.

I am running Firefox but have to log in each time I return to the site, even though the "remember me" box is always checked. No big deal, just information in case it helps.
