The Society's worst release

by Nosferatu in

jw
friends

what, in your opinion, is the worst thing that the society has released?

(book / tract / video / audio cassette)

czarofmischief

Definitely the Revelation book, or the Isaiah books.

Either assumes that every action in the Bible has a modern day fulfillment, they use the word "antitype" way too freaking often, and the aforementioned fulfillments occurred at some point between 1914 and 1925. What a joke!

Is antitype even a real word? Its bizarre.

And I actually found a copy of babylon the great and thought Babylon was a cool looking city and the Jews were lucky to live there.

Finally, I have to disagree with you about the Bible story book. I really think that many of the stories help place the cultural context of our civilization into young minds. Like it or not, the Bible is the literary cornerstone of our time, and the Bible Story book helps to introduce it to young readers. As long as the parents don't present it as anything more serious than Shakespeare for kids...

HELP ME...

by POOH in

i am posting this so that other jw will help me to figure out what i need to do.

my husband was born and raised as a jehovahs witness.

when we got married he never metioned it to me.

czarofmischief

Oh, boy... wow, that's a tough gig.

First of all, JW's are wrong, completely and utterly wrong about most of the things they teach. Keep coming back to this site to learn more. Study 1975 for starters to learn how they use apocalyptic statements to attract and control followers.

Get your husband to come here and look up stuff like the UN / NGO debate, child abuse... these things will mean more to him than to you.

Don't let the cult isolate you from your family! Don't stop celebrating the holidays with them! The cult is a well-oiled machine at tearing you apart from your family! If your husband is hell-bent on going back, you'll need to be strong, very strong, to avoid getting sucked in.

Remember, all they want is to tell you exactly what to do all the time. Run away!

Get some books like Crisis of Conscience by Raymond Franz (you can get it on Amazon). He was a member of the WT's Governing Body and he got kicked out for having a different opinion on things.

I'm sure many others will have advice, but mostly, don't let the WT get between you and your life!

An elder gave me that look

by JH in

jw
friends

i'm inactive since many years and i met an elder yesterday while i was driving in the city.

i made my stop, and an elder passed in front of me driving very slowly and made a very sad and disapproved face.

although it lasted about 3 seconds, i could feel exactly what he was thinking.. i felt as if i was a very bad boy not wanting to play knock knock on doors with them anymore.. for the inactive ones, do you often get that kind of disapproved look?.

czarofmischief

That look just makes me laugh, these days. My life is so much better with three extra days to do whatever I want.

Plus, half these old fogies that kicked me out have kids of their own out now being lesbians and stuff = doesn't bother me, but it warms my heart to think how the old farts must be suffering...

The ten best ways to disrupt a District Assembly:

by czarofmischief in

1. have an apostate food truck outside with free burritos and shasta cola.. 2. wear a smurf costume and run across the stage.. 3. bikini car wash across the street.. 4. have an old-school breakdancing session on the corner, cardboard and all.

bonus if you do it on a mat made of watchtowers and primary colored book covers.. 5. have a garage sale or flea market in the neighborhood during the afternoon session.. 6. sit in the audience and applaud everything that anybody says - try to get a standing ovation for each sentence of the closing prayer.. 7. put a recording of rap, heavy metal, or other forbidden music on instead of the kingdom melodies.. 8. get fifty of your friends to walk around in the stadium during the session, holding signs that say, "louder please!

" and "take your shirt off!

czarofmischief

holy shat, that has got to be one of the funniest things I have read in a long, long time.

Thank you, thank you. As you progress as an apostate, you'll find that a laugh will have more power over the WT than all the enraged Bible quoting you can muster. Your family won't be able to leave until they can break the hold of deathly seriousness that the WT has over their poor brains.

Go forth and prosper, my new friend!

The Holy Spirit... and DOES God Speak to Us?

by AGuest in

may you all have peace.

last night when i went to bed, my heart was quite heavy: there were things on it, in it, thereon... whatever... that i could not reconcile: i know what i have heard from my lord - how do i get others who love him to grasp that such a thing is possible, to understand that they do not have to take my word for it, but can ask him, for i am nothing more than a good-for-nothing-slave... and have "sold" myself into the "service" of the one who "bought" me... so that it is his will that i must obey... whether earthling man hears... or refrain?

this is not new "fight" with me, let me tell you: i know exactly how jeremiah felt, for i cannot count the times my heart has felt the same thing.

czarofmischief

Hm. the jesus is god party wins by sheer verbiage.

the jesus is NOT god party is a lot more fun.

CZAR

jesus wasn't god. he didn't say half the things the bible says he did. He didn't do any miracles. He's dead, and he isn't coming back. End of discussion (yah, right!)

Want proof? If you believe the bible, jesus said, "I am coming quickly" TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO! He isn't here! So he either didn't say it, or he was a delusional, or he was a liar. Pick one.

Isn't it wierd how the society spends all this time tearing down the catholic traditions like confession, then hides behind the same privileges that those customs have created?

Ozzie's International Wine of the Month

by ozziepost in

jw
friends

the recommendation for this month's wine really comes from mrs ozzie.

ya see, she's lying mellow in her room in this post stalin gulag because of enjoying the lovely red drops of a merlot all the way from south america.. it was a very tasty drop, i can tell you.. her's the details.... campero merlot central valley 2001 (chile).

the label says this:.

czarofmischief

I'm learning some good wines. Rosemount is a nice shiraz, definitely.

I'm finding that I'm enjoying the white wines from the Languedoc region of France. Mm, mm... and I'm pro-american, but those frogs sure know how to squish a grape... now if only they'd pick somebody other than woody allen to market their country over here.

Why I think the jw's are a cult and not a religion

by Ron1968 in

fortunately, it is not the case with me but this deal about parents not talking to their children who have been disfellowshipped is horrid.

it is bad enough for those who have been disfellowshipped, but to have their own family turn on them?

as such, i think the jw's are a cult as they separate families.

czarofmischief

Anybody that makes you wear a tie is a cult.
