  Guess I said more than I should have about "the truth"

  a sister came by my house today.

  not to see how i was or why i have not been to meetings for the past months - she needed to borrow some money for the upcoming convention.

  we chatted a little, and i cound not keep my mouth shut about some questions i have and some discoveries i made about the doctrine.

  When I stopped going to meetings it shocked one of my friends to his core. I tried to be quiet about why I stopped as I wanted to play by the rules and not influence anyone's beliefs. Well, this dude just had to know why I stopped going. He was very persistent about wanting to know and he promised not to tell anyone. Not wanting to be a jerk, I told him a few simple reasons in confidence.. The dude turns around, tells the elders in his congregation, then the elders call the elders in my congregation to check up on me. Thankfully, they only came to warn me and no judicial action took place. But i feel very betrayed!
  

  You can't trust any of them! They will rat you out without a second thought just to get a pat on the back (or a stroke) from the elders. Sick.

  every second our watch ticks, thats frequency of our current time.

  Did somebody slip acid into my whiskey? This thread is awesome! All this crazy has me trippin'!

  Oppostate, nice poems! One picture almost sent me into an epileptic seizure though.

  For some reason this thread has put me in the mood to watch Apocalypse Now.

  Jehovah's witnesses owe much to the catolic church

  by TheWonderofYou in

  2. bible

  jehovahs witness owe the bible to the catolic church,the church was the authority that put the bible together, and jehovahs witnesses owe the name jehovah a catolic monk.

  jehovash witnesses owe the catolic church the sowing of the field where they are now preaching.. otherwise after leaving the jw i got a much better understanding of christianity and the cc..

  Yep. They get credit for preserving the bible through the heathen, dark ages. They also decided what order the books of the bible should be in. Its also ironic that they determined what books of the bible were inspired or not. You'll never hear a thank you from the almighty borg, though.

  Can you not perceive the will of the stones? Their variations radiate the secrets of the universe. When light travels up their fallus, the grand celestial knowledge of space and time are pulsed to those who are aware. Only to those who hold the seven candles can absorb the powers of Grom! Alas, Jaewookie my brethren, let us journey to the magical caves in the valley of the shadow to obtain these candles!

  I hope you enjoy some quality time with your daughter Xanthippe.
  

  I'm going to explore the deep crevices and mountains of the places here in Japan which I haven't been to yet. Gonna get some beach time, onsen time, catch up on some books. I plan on hiking a volcano or two. Maybe I'll try to visit some bonsai masters here and pick their brains for new techniques to beautify my dwarf plants and treyscapes. Enjoy the summer everyone!

  5) You need a new hobby.

  6) You speaketh in a language I don't understandeth.

  I think you should try writing some haikus and poetry. You just might have the knack for it.

  Life after JW

  by bsand20 in

  haven't been on this site since fall of last year.

  i was very active in spreading awareness and getting information to help me cope with the fact that my mother cut off complete communication with me as of jan 2014, but i guess too much of a good thing was too much for me to handle.

  i ended up getting panic/anxiety attacks.

  I go through it to a lesser extent. Forget the crap behind and move forward to your beautiful life ahead! You are gonna have a baby! That is such wonderful news. Now you have a chance to teach your child what real and unconditional love is.

  Why is the Governing Body pushing the very young(5-12 year old) into getting baptized into subservience to the Corporation?

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i think a very simple reason may be because the very young are pretty much the only ones naive enough to take the plunge these days.

  with the internet available to inform people about the deceptive lies printed by the wt corporation it seems that they are getting their member from the less informed population like the elderly and the very young.

  they/gb hate higher education because they loose members who get one and so they are focusing on those that are dumb enough to believe their boogie man bull shit about jehovah choosing their corporation and anybody not a part of it he will destroyed at armageddon.. also we need to consider that they view these young people as a potential free labor source so the sooner you get them hooked into baptism with the threat of disfellowshipping you can get more free labor out of them..

  This issue really sets me into a flying rage. I was baptized at a competent age, even still, I had no idea about the depth or details of the rules and policies of this organization. I mean for those of you who were born in like me, how many of you honestly felt concern over the second baptismal question that we are required to say yes to. Nobody really considers their affiliation with an organization. They just want to get baptized to god and chase girls/guys after getting their new found status.
  

  Whenever I challenge an elder over an abusive policy he basically tells me that I said yes to the second question therefore I should understand the rules, then in a roundabout way I am told to STFU or else. I can't imagine how little is going through these small kids minds when they pledge allegiance to the org. It'll come back to bite the majority of them sadly...

  How do you manage to keep JW friendships after you left the organization?

  by Bonsai in

  2. friends

  it seems incredibly difficult.

  those who leave the org.

  (or fade) no longer have anything in common with jehovah's witnesses, nor do they want to stick around to get radiated by the fear and guilt that saturates every aspect of a witnesses' life.. i've lost all but one of my jw friends quite simply because i can no longer condone the evil things that they condone.

  Wow. I woke up this morning to find all these great replies and various advice. It really helps.

  When I left this organization, I thought I could take some of the good things with me, but I see now that it is just impossible. It takes everything from you until there is nothing left. I still can't believe that my best friend would view the blood doctrine as more important than my friendship with him.
  

  I hate what this religion does to people!

  LOL Outlaw! So I'm learning. My last and best friend who is in just exploded at me when I showed him the article of an African woman who died after refusing a blood transfusion. She left behind nine children. He attacked the writer of the articles motive and he lashed out at me for sharing with him the article. I don't think our friendship is going to survive this latest salvo.

  It's so hard to not burn bridges with these people...
