  Religion is dying a slow death!!!

  by ADJUSTMENTS in

  1. jw

  religion has run its course, it was used as a way to control growing populations and to give the human race a sense of direction almost like training wheels.

  religion has gone on a path of no return... that includes the only true religion of jw's!!!

  It is in decline in more prosperous educated countries. Religions still thrive in third world countries where they are under educated illiterate. The only scary thing I see as the world population keeps expanding eventually there will be too many people to properly educate them all and this will lead to another dark ages. I am sure that is what most major religions are hoping for.

  I know a lot of people over the years that have been inactive dubs for years but when push comes to shove they still believe in the BS.

  This has been discussed on here before. There are some intelligent people that are JW's but when it comes to matter of "faith" they are complete idiots.

  Yeah I know too well that when I started to fade these good JW "unconditional" love kicks in. They treat you like you have the plague or something like that.

  Exposing one's identity. When?

  by kairos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been toying with the idea of just coming out and posting my name and location as an attempt to be available to locals that secretly browse the forum that have known me for up to 25 years.

  ( "reaching out", so to speak ).

  i'm not da'd or df'd, so this most certainly could end in a dramatic confrontation.

  You know what your getting into by posting your real name that's up to you. Like the above posters were mentioning that you have had a lot of problems with your JW wife, so you may want to really think over your decision. Myself I was very careful what I posted on here when my parents were still alive. Now I really don't care if they know who I am.

  this ain't your grandaddy's governing body!.

  dubs have been saying this a lot lately in my area.

  The early WT had a board of directors but the GB as we know it didn't come in till the 70's. I think the big reason why it has changed is because up until the last 10 years it was run by a bunch of 80+ year old men. Now most of the GB are 50-60 age group.

  Having Judeo-Christian culture and values does not make a society moral. Some of the most immoral and despicable acts have being done by Judeo-Christian countries.

  2014 increase in Memorial Partakers to 14,121

  by jwfacts in

  2. beliefs

  i have updated the article at memorial partakers with the figures released for 2014. no surprises here, it has risen yet again, this time by 6% over last year, and is now 14,121.. .

  I can recall one memorial the elder giving the talk went into a lengthy explanation on to what it means to be one of the anointed. The reason was is that the previous year there was an increase in partakers and he wanted anyone that would partake fully aware of their decision. I don't know if this was a direction from the society or he took it on himself. The other reason was that at that time the society taught that was a sign of the end as not many of the 144,000 were to survive the big A. Times have changed.

  I agree on the posters that said that a lot of them are mentally or emotionally imbalanced. The few memorial partakers I knew over the years, most of them were not right in the head and the other ones were a little delusional.

  ok more about the jw wedding i attended.

  there were these two couples at our dinner table that were having an all out pissing competition as to who was the most spiritual.

  they were comparing who was in "the truth" the longest, who pioneered where and for how long.

  They get that honestly from the borg where anything that you do is never good enough for them.
