  Gotta keep those numbers up, right?

  I know of two openly adulterous and slanderous ones who were reinstated in eight months or less.

  I think the only requirement is that the person is not actively proselytizing against the borg.

  well, once again my "friend" has shared their notes with me from the latest co visit.

  besides the usual 1914 assertions/ world getting worse all the time/ our day is the worst of all time nonsense, the co mentioned some interesting things.

  number one won't surprise you.

  When jdubs are killed in bus accidents as they are heading to conventions, they praise j-a-h because some survive. So what, he just let the others die because he's not powerful enough to save them too?

  Such rubbish.

  What started me on the path to waking up about the lies the WT teaches?

  by oppostate in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it was a simple question: isn't jesus my "mediator" if i put faith in him like the scriptures say?

  the research to that answer, from the w79 4/1 p. 31, was mind blowing.

  how dare they deny me a belief firmly stated in the scriptures?

  Lots of teachings didn't make sense, but topped with the continuing push to revere the elders it was all just too much.

  The biggest and most personal was the continuing child abuse coverups. We thought it was only our local elders that were uncaring and unbalanced in this, but to know that it was widespread and condoned by the GB made it absolutely IMPOSSIBLE for this to be god's org.

  Just sitting here smh. If I were still "in", I would be so embarrassed that any doubts I might be having would be magnified tenfold.

  Let's hope it has this affect on every doubting dub still stuck in.

  Do you ever feel strangely drawn towards Conspiracy Theories?

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  after mentally awakening to the idea that jws don't have the truth i strangely found myself delving into all encompassing conspiracy theories.

  not that i believed them but something about them seemed quite fascinating.

  i was especially drawn to the idea of a new world order/one world government.

  Labeling some concepts as "Conspiracy Theories" and thereby insinuating that anyone not believing as you do might speak to your history as jws. This desire to label and ridicule others is a prime tactic of the witnesses, so perhaps you might ask yourself why you feel compelled to announce your "superiority" in such a manner.

  Learning TTATT is straying from the "norm" of jw beliefs. Believing in something other than what the mainstream media preaches has parallels.
