FYI My JW mom and Alzheimer's

by scary21 in

jw
friends

one year ago today my mom passed away.

she was 91 years old.

it has been really hard on me because i never expected what happened, to.have happened.

I will relate to you a story that my father had of similar, except in reverse. His mother had shacked up with some guy several years after the death of her husband. (my grandfather) This new guy treated my father like crap, hated him, etc, etc. My father went off to Vietnam. When he came home, he wasn't about to take any sh*t off ANYONE, and when this guy made a threatening move towards my father, he was knocked thru the wall. Several years later, and this old guy was losing his mind, probably due to Alzheimer's. Thing was, he had kind of forgotten who my father was and their shaky past, so what happened? This guy was as friendly as could be to my father, freakin' loved him! It was truly comical. My father did right by the old guy, knowing he was basically out of his mind and clueless. But it was truly ironic.

Point of the story: Don't beat yourself up. Those last few months the disease was running the show from the neck up. Period. Get on with life and remember your mother for how she truly was.

"They trampled on my humility."

by Zoos in

it's rare that i bump into someone from the old hall.

but it happened yesterday with one of the nicest brothers i remember.. he came into my place of work not knowing i worked there.

my company is now on his delivery route.

I've thought this for a long time now; the JWdotOrg is run by social retards. Just look at the "Princes among men" like Fred Franz, Stephen Lett, and fat-boy Mark Sanderson? Do those guys look well-adjusted and normal to anyone? No. The dysfunction flows from the top down!

"The Bunker" WT Conventions 2016 (Gag Me)

by Poztate in

in the very near future the gang will be down in a bunker,cellar awaiting the police,military to break in and take them away to camps or executions .

(paranoid much) this is the foretold "prophecy" of the governments turning on religion and saving them for last.since the couple portrayed as simplifying their life by getting rid of a lot of material things is shown to be (about) the same age in the bunker we know it must be any minute now that it will happen.

i have been out for over 35 years and things seem to be getting more bizarre each year.. when did this doctrine really become main stream?

I was born in 1979. Any of you old enough to recall, will remember the WatchTower & Awake! covers and articles that had nuclear bombs, explosions, scenes of fire and brimstone raining down upon the wicked, who were scowling in horror. This is really nothing new, just a re-invention of the same ol' fear and guilt-inducing crap-o-rama, except in a new, more modern decade. This has been in the WT's playbook since the very beginning. Remember 1925 and the return of the holies? Of course not! Most people on here were not even born in 1925, much less remember the build-up and let-down of that year. So it is with my "generation." I was born AFTER 1975, so hence I only remember older ones and my parents talking about the build-up, people selling off their possessions, and the let down, etc.

And really, this was adopted from William Miller (and his followers the Millerittes), who experienced their own "Great Disappointment", which ultimately led to 2 new related American adventist sects being created, The Seventh Day Adventists, and a short while later the International Bible Students. (now WTBTS, or JWdotOrg).

This is nothing more than history repeating itself. Same sh*t, different decade. (and now, millennium!)

If you are a true believer in the bible and Jesus' words, then this shouldn't really come as a surprise. He foretold of ones coming after Him and saying that the "end is near", or that he had returned but was hidden in another room (invisibly? Imagine that!), but to fear not.....because it was NOT the time of the end. Only the Father knew the day and the hour. Not William Miller. Not Helen G. White. Not CT Russell, or 7 old obese men in upper NY state. Not Jim Jones, not David Koresh. Those nutcases are all wolves in sheep's clothing. F'em.

Many are leaving their enforced, inbred and inherited religions, and surprise it's not just JWs...

i want to share this great article from an informative website on religion and how it is an age old play on emotions and why many are fleeing from religion, including you.

the other insightful articles on this website will help to soothe your complex worries and open your eyes to a great reality.. one love.

Be careful what you wish for (in case you want to wake up your spouse)

by nevaagain in

i want to spare you a long post about my background.

because this topic is about something else.a small information is that i knew ttatt before i got married.

but then i somehow pushed it back for quite some time because i didnt want to change my life and it was convenient to instantly meet new people when you move into a new city.couple of years into my marriage and seeing all the changes in the jw my thirst for ttatt resurfaced.

WingCommander

This woman was a total c*nt with, OR without the WT indoctrination. It's just that now after learning TTATT, she feels free and unchained to be her true authentic c*nt-self. Drop her dumb azz like a bad habit. Set her free to roam the earth and contract multiple STD's, before she brings one home and gives one to you!

She's a self-centered narcissist who thinks the world should revolve around her. She has ZERO empathy for your thoughts and feelings, which also makes her a sociopath.

Has she taken out any life insurance policies on you lately, or increased the coverage?

Regional Convention

by raven in

so how many are not going to the regional convention this year?

it will be my first year not attending as part of my fade.. i remember going for all of my childhood into adult hood, participating in stage parts even.. however, last assembly i was already mentally checked out.

i remember looking around and seeing all of people bobbing & nodding at the program talks that had been previously repeated time and time again.. almost seemed like hypnosis.. i also had a hard time with the fact that we're all supposed to be "friends" and everyone had always seemed to be so judgmental.. especially at conventions & assemblies.. things like who had the best outfit for the days, who looked the prettiest, who can snag the single ms brother.. who took the most spiritual food out of the program, how many times can you tally mark jehovah's name.

WingCommander

My last DC was in Philadelphia, 1994, or possibly 1996. Wow, 20 years ago already? Time flies when you get a life? My last Circuit Assembly at the Grantville Assembly Hall was around 2000 perhaps. Bored out of my mind. No one gave a crap about me or my mom. We weren't in their uppity spiritual or economic "cliques", so no one cared, no one missed us. I am more convinced then ever that the cult is filled with social retards. I don't miss any of them, and the ones I do miss were the older, elderly types whom my parents studied with in the late 70's and early 80's, all of whom have long since passed away. Hey, I thought that generation wasn't supposed to pass away? Thanks alot for the lies, WT cult!

i am planning a trip to new york and trying to develop an itinerary.

t will be my first time.

WingCommander

Ithaca is nice. All the gorges, wine country, beautiful scenery, etc. New York State is actually quite beautiful.

NYC is like a hemorrhoid on NY state's azz. It hangs out there, being inflammatory. lol

Sorry Freemindfade, NYC doesn't really do anything for me. I've been all over the world, NYC is a toilet bowl, and it's a whole lot cleaner than it was in say 1986. (Times Square sex shops, anyone?) Don't worry, I hate Baltimore and Philly even more. They are cesspools. Now Pittsburgh? There's a true gem. It de-greased itself and it's image of being a dirty steel town, and is now a clean, thriving, artistic, cultural, modern, tech-savy city. I'd much rather live there.

WingCommander

The Met, The Guggenheim, 9/11 Memorial / Freedom Tower, Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island. The Central Park Zoo is a nice walk-thru.

Hungry? Then you'd better eat at Carmine's in Times Square, which is an incredible Italian eatery with family style (large plates to pass around your table) serving.

Honestly, I've been to NYC plenty of times as I only live 3 hours away. NYC is NOT my favourite US city. I'd much rather visit the much more interesting Chicago, Washington DC, etc.

I've often asked:

If JW's are following in the footsteps of Christ Jesus, and supposedly tending the flock, then how exactly does the "Faithful & Discreet", you know, God's SOLE shepherd on earth today, tend to the flock?

Question:

Where are the: Hospitals, orphanages, soup kitchens, retirement homes, schools, shelters, and other charitable works that would be the mark of love of Jesus disciples?

Answer:

No where to be found in JW-Land. Some "religion", huh? Followers of Jesus, my ass!!
