You are a Jehovah’s Witness or you are nothing at all…

by silentbuddha in

this morning i got a call from a friend of mine who i was actually roommates with at bethel in the 1990’s.

he left that organization about 3 years ago.

he was crushed because it was the 10 year anniversary (for lack of a better term) of the day that his brother took his life after being disfellowshipped many moons ago and not being reinstated.

In what decade was it clearly apparent that Watchtower was a high control religion?

by UnshackleTheChains in

i'm just curious to get people's views on this.. the bible students seem to start of as quite a liberal group under charles taze russell, albeit he had some whacky teachings going on.

obviously things began to change under rutherford.

but what decade did it become abundantly clear that the society was indeed high control religion or even labeled a cult?.

1980s is when they became an official cult in my opinion. Franz and others in the writting department started showing them flaws in their teachings and they freaked out . The scandal made them change several rules including how and who to shun. Before this you could talk to those that left and just resigned. People in the halls would even speak up during let say a Watchtower study if the conductor said some thing they felt did go with the Bible. Now all you can did is nod your head yes.

Could You See A Kingdom Hall Getting Shot Up?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i would never want to see that happen but i’m surprised it has not occurred at this point.

there are many disgruntled people who have had bad experiences with the witnesses..

Crazyguy

I’m actually surprised it hasn’t happened more.

If there was a resurrection in paradise

by Sour Grapes in

something that bothered me even when i was a watchtower company drone was the thought of dying and being resurrected in paradise.

would the resurrected person really be me or just a copy of me?

if god could recreate one of me, he could also recreate five of me.

Well here’s is the problem JWs stopped doing what the Egyptians did which was mummify their dead. With out this very important step , not having a body, the JWs are doomed to roam about in spirit form only on the earth, provided their judged worthy. Otherwise their heart is going to be eaten and they’ll be cast off in to the lake of fire, the second death.

So, is God a rapist!?

by stuckinarut2 in

ok, i apologise in advance if this seems irreverent to those who believe in god.. but, the bible says that god (jehovah) impregnated mary.

without her consent.

so that would seem to be rape...right?.

I don’t think anyone here was mean to David. But I will say this if you can’t take criticism or disagreement then you should not post on a public forum. David had some really good comments and people appreciated them. Tell him we wish him the best!!

What the last two woman said during the video may move others to leave. More and more people are getting aggressive and whether you agree or not this kind of activism gives the problems in the cult a voice and I think helps to make ones in the cult realize what their going through is not an isolated incident.

When I was a young man a 18 old girl I knew was raped then dfd for it. I thought this was just a crazy case of 3 elders just being insane so I stayed in the cult. If I would of known that this is a common practice I would of left over 20 years ago and my kids would not have been raised in this evil cult.

Astro-theology and dates concerning Jesus the moon god?

by Crazyguy in

i have done a lot of research over the years in to jesus and how he related to other older gods and astro-theology.

many who have looked in to this before me have stated that jesus is a retelling of a son god.

they talk about horus and quote scriptures where jesus is alluded to being the sun of god as much as the son of god.

Crazyguy

I have listened to him speak several times and like what he has to say but I don’t think I’ve heard him explain exactly his ideas on these numbers etc.

I would also like him to explain why he doesn’t think the immaculate conception virgin birth sons of god the pharaoh, Scenes carved in to the temple at Luxor or not that and why he thinks so.

I have done a lot of research over the years in to Jesus and how he related to other older gods and Astro-theology. Many who have looked in to this before me have stated that Jesus is a retelling of a son god. They talk about Horus and quote scriptures where Jesus is alluded to being the Sun of god as much as the Son of god. I even read some one that stated if you replace the word Son with Sun in the New Testament it will all make sense.

History has shown that the early church wanted to make Jesus part of the Sun worship putting his birth on December 25th and making him part of a trinity which has already been shown to be a pagan idea going way back.

I have also noticed that the writtings about Jesus seem to have attributes to other deities around the area where he was to be worshipped. Connections with Dyonisus, Mithras, and Osiris can be made. There can also be a connection made with older deities such as Inanna and Tammuz.

But there has always been issues with some of the story of Jesus and numbers associated with him. For example do to saturnalia and sun worship by the Romans they put his birth at December 25th when the sun is resurrected. Ok that makes sense but people like those that wrote Zeitgeist mention the sun dying on the 21 and resurrecting on the 25. Makes sense but this happens to Jesus around the spring equinox, not in December. I’m not saying Jesus isn’t represented as the Sun but what about the moon? Could these numbers be tied somewhere else other then the Sun or the zodiac sign of the fish (Pisces)? Why did he die at 33 and why did he die and then was resurrected after 3 days. Here is an interesting idea , could it still be related to Astro theology and this time the moon? He is more closely associated with the lunar deity Osiris then a solar one like Horus or Shamash.

So heres my therory on his being killed at 33. The lunar calendar is shorter then the solar calendar by a few days each year and in order to be reset it correctly, they change it every 33 years. Killing the calendar so to speak. Jesus is killed right after the full moon or on the full moon and then is dead for three days and nights before being resurrected. The new moon is a cycle of approximately 7 days (Passover?) and during that new moon cycle the moon is not visible for about three days. Of course his Sun side still has to be involved so when he’s resurrected on the third day it’s also near the time of the spring equinox when the days are now longer then the nights and the growing season can start once again saving mankind from certain death. I can not find any other reasons that make sense as to why Jesus was killed at 33 and dead for three days in the spring. Other deities have been killed and resurrected after three days and I have never been able to make a connection that made sense. Could this moon idea be the correct one? They don’t call me crazy for nothing. Your thoughts please!
