  My brother thinks like a pharisee!

  by tsar_robles in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  earlier today i called my aging father to check on him; he asked me if my brother has met my newborn yet.

  i told him 'well, no... i invited him to come over to meet his nephew whenever he'd like but never responded'.. then my dad asked me to let him know he'll be writing to him soon.

  i briefly talked to my brother and relayed the message.

  Um, the question that begs to be answered here, and no one is asking it so I will.

  Why in the hell woud you want such a heartless, cold, pharasitical person around your child? If they act like this, I sure as hell wouldn't want them around me, much less my children.

  To hell with him! The "Witnesses" are his family now, so F**k him!! Whenever he needs love and support, let him suckle off the WT tit of blind obedience and ignorance.

  It never ceases to amaze me how some people will keep going back to the same people, places, organizations to be shit upon time after time! It's like saying, "Oh please sir, can I have some more mistreatment sir? Please sir?"

  Sorry, I just couldn't stand to be around or talk to someone like that.

  Why Guess About Dates At All?

  by Pickled in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i posted this on another thread and realized that it was really off topic, so i made it a separate topic because i would really like to read your thoughts about this... .

  does anyone know if any reasons are given by the wtbts about why they feel it is such an important part of their teachings to keep guessing about dates and the years things are going to happen?

  it seems that it adds nothing to whatever they believe about the bible, and it has only served to create such confusion among their members over the years.

  ******** YAWN *********

  It's really simple: Cults have to persuade everyone that ONLY THEY are enlightened with God's Holy Spirit and divine direction and have the ability to apply and interpret ancient biblical prophecy into and onto your life today!

  Join up now!!! - so that you may too reach and teach and make the TRUTH your own! The end is immenet! The sky is falling! Repent now, leave every other false religion for our false religion....why? Because the FDS says so!

  Cult snag tactic, plain and simple.

  Wait a minute.....according the Revelation: It's Grand Climax at Hand book, wasn't "The Judge's" imprisonment foretold by Danial or John? I mean, wasn't it one of the trumpet blasts or something just like the convention in Cedar Point, Ohio?

  What ludicrous bullshit!! Many JW's would state, "who cares what happened back in 1918, it's old light?" but in reality the Org can't let it go, as it's in the Proclaimers book and also that weirdo Revelation book. Talk about whacked out Bullshit! YIkes!!

  I think some of the writers have been eating too many hash-brownies while doing their so-called "research,"

  PS: April Fools!!! Gran, you are a cold-hearted, easily influenced, mind-controlled lemming who would drink the Kool-Aid at the next Memorial if instructed to do so. I'm so grateful my children won't be influenced by your mindless droning and worship of a man-made organization.

  Bet you thought I was sincere, huh? Have a nice dirt nap you 'ol geezer!!

  lol.

  My last convention: 1994 DC at Veteran's Stadium, Philly.

  Hot, boring, glad to leave. No food served back then, I think that was the first year or so of no food service. Conventions always sucked, but with no food it really sucked.

  I am 28, and already at 25 I was not looking forward to 30. 30 - means half of 60!!! Aaaack!

  Like you, I seem to look back in time at everything that has occurred. I mean, like me, you probably had the "generation that saw 1914 will not pass away" drilled into you, so from little on up you never thought you'd see 20, much less 30 in "this system of things." Now, my whole family has died, and I am the only one left. I have a deep feeling of regret and astonishment that I am still here....that "this system of things," is still here. We were all supposed to be in the New System by now, remember? The year 2000? No way were we EVER supposed to see that in this Old System! But yet, here we are ..... now pushing 2010. I have a young son myself now. No way will I be raising him the same warped way I was raised, always looking forward to destruction of everyone around him.

  I think when you are a JW, getting older is alot harder for the above stated reasons.

  so it hadn't escaped my attention that two weeks ago i was melting faster than a snowman on a lava flow path.. i had to do something.

  i ended up in hospital.

  i hoped this would mean i'd get help, not just medication, which i've tried for 6 months and hasn't really helped.

  Dear Crumpet:

  If I were a JW I'd say you have DEMONS! DEMONS! Run-away!! Burn objects in your house! The psychologist is from the Debil! The Debil! (in the Waterboy's mother's voice)

  But, as a person who loves reading your posts and anguishes when you are down, I'd have to say you are starting down a good path - therapy. While I must admit that one-half of me wishes I'd be on the receiving end of you pulling me off the street for a good shagging, the other half of me sees how spontaneous, dangerous, and destructive this behaviour is and also it is a form of reward or "instant gratification."

  Which ever form of therapy you choose, please make sure you are comfortable with the person you are talking to; that is very important as it will eventually help you trust them enough to truly open up about what has been happening to you.

  I suffered from bi-polar, anxiety attacks w/fits of rage, fits of sexual self-gratification and intoxication, as well as the need for instant gratification in the form of spending money. I am happy to say that through a now healthy relationship through marriage, regular exercise, and organic all-natural medicines, I have for the most part overcome all of my past problems with the exception of some of the anxiety and occasionally instant gratification.

  I truly hope you stay on course and continue your therapy, whichever path you choose. I also hope work and life in general are working out. Have you thought about a change of scenery perhaps? Maybe a new flat in a different part of the country, with new furnishings, etc? Sometimes it takes picking up and rearranging your life to make you have a different outlook on your life.

  Warmest Regards and Luv,

  Wing Commander
