  How this Jehovah’s Witness feels about the Australian Royal Commission

  by Simple Minds in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i know the arc is old news i know i am preaching to the converted but i had to express how i feel because most of my jw friends and family dont want to hear .

  so this is how i feel.

  i have faithfully served as a jehovahs witness for over 25 years..

  so much negative criticism on Jehovah’s people

  It never ceases to amaze me how people just casually use the term 'Jehovah's People' as though there is even the tiniest shred of confirmable evidence that he chose any people at all.. that this group of cultists are the one's that he actually chose.. when one of their deranged leaders snatched some random scripture from a book written thousands of years ago by who knows who and bestowed it upon themselves..

  If that's not the most nutty, presumptuous, delusions act of self self-aggrandising blind arrogance I really don't know what is.

  This is nothing to do with the honesty of 'apostates'.. this is just about people that lie full stop. And as we all know from personal experience and now clearly from the Australian Royal Commission, the orgs lawyers, their elders and even governing body members lie their asses off.

  Maybe your post title should really read: - "Jehovah's Witnesses" How honest are they? -

  Double life

  by Esmeralda001 in

  2. experiences

  is there a way i can successfully live a double life?

  don't get me wrong, i'm not trying to get engaged in activities that are condemnable according to the *bible* (not the *wt*) standards.

  i figured that the only way i can get the brothers and sisters to leave me along is by pretending that i am an unemployed drop out.

  They will say you have achieved that already by just being here.

  Be aware folks that all these wonderful posts and comments will remain here in this forum for at least the next 20 years at the time Simon's failing eyesight and ever increasing weariness will diminish his moderating and pruning ability .. at which point they will serve to provide great entertainment for the future ex-dubs that gravitate here and maybe will think twice before asking for relationship advice. Just a thought..

  Have we become what we despise so much?

  by Tenacious in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the majority of members who tend to join this forum have been hurt possibly even traumatized sometimes to the point of wanting to end their lives.

  upon joining the forum, new members are welcomed with open arms, welcome messages start pouring in, "likes" are freely given, a false sense of security is promoted where a member is free to speak his mind without having to worry about the wt gestapo.

  again, similar to how potential converts are welcomed and "love bombed" upon entering a kh for the first time.

  You can take the man out of the cult.. but it takes a lot longer to take the cult out of the man..

  Women in this Org are looking for a Father Figure

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is a rant mainly in response to my wife's reaction to the stupid clam meeting last night.

  bear in mind, while i am not sexist, i am also not politically correct.

  .... it is no secret that the women in this organization outnumber the men.

  Ex JW's - Which Christian denomination are you with now and why?

  by Truthexplorer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is a question for ex jw's who have joined another christian faith group.

  the purpose of my question iis to find out which christian faith group you chose after leaving watchtower and what convinced you to travel this new spiritual path you are on.

  i am interested to know because i personally would like to find a genuine faith group where i can feel true christian liberty as i initially thought i had with the witnesses.

  I spent a good number of years investigating and exploring most if not all of the major and not so major biblical based religious denominations.. and found neither God or Jesus is any of them.

  Christian Family Gets 5 Children Taken Away by Gov't for Teaching God Punishes Sin

  by GodZoo in

  1. social
  2. current

  child welfare services in norway have reportedly removed five christian children from their parents' home and placed them into foster care after the parents were accused of radicalizing and indoctrinating their children with christianity.. according to the british-based christian institute, norway's child protection services, known as the barnevernet, seized the three sons and two daughters of ruth and marius bodnariu in mid-november.. .

  although the family wasn't quite sure at the time why their children were being taken away from them, their lawyer discovered that the parents were being charged with christian indoctrination.http://www.christianpost.com/news/christian-family-gets-5-children-taken-away-by-govt-for-teaching-god-punishes-sin-151693/.

  So basically we don't get to hear the other side of the story, and we're asked to take this story at face value.

  GodZoo:

  A little research goes a long way.. I trust you don't expect me to do it all for you.

  Thousands of others made the effort.

  "Thousands of others" is not the same as the "other side"

  Yeah I get that.. but my point was that often people expect to be spoon fed everything on a platter and have all their research done for them.

  'Other side' meaning what exactly?

  How do you tell your spouse you no longer believe in God?

  by Darkknight757 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so i was hoping to get some insight on this subject of telling your spouse that you no longer believe in god.

  for two people who have been jehovahs witnesses for 20 years together, talking about this seems to be real hard for me.

  i still pray with my wife before meals but that's about it.

  You open your mouth and say: "I no longer find reason to believe in God".

  Easy as that..
