i just wanted to share a perspective related to my experience with leaving the jw.
at this point, i have been df'd since i was 18. i'm 25, happily married with 2 fantastic children.
after being miserably at odds with my parents and extended family, i've come to some realizations as follows.. i struggled with the conditional nature of my parent's love- talking to me until it bothered their conscience, then cutting me off.
That's nice and welcome, unfortunately the cult has stolen the minds and love of so many. They being members of the cult have lost all rational thought and being told thier in gods only true religion has made them arrogant in thier attitude. A person can show a JW the obvious problem with saying god wants us to kill our selves by not taking blood but cows blood is ok and they'll still not get it.
So despite your love your parents probably never get a clue or wake up, so don't risk your kids!!
this notice is not official yet and it should be confidential until released thru the proper channels.
a friend of mine told me about a huge elders meeting in southern california.
the subject was the relocation and dissolution of some congregations; it seems that this is the result of some project that has been going on for some time and is going to be implemented right now.. please let me know if this is happening all over the country?.
It's there last and only way to make it look like thier growing is to make the halls full of people. This will probably help to keep less ones from leaving because there's influence in numbers.
i discovered your website this morning as i was trying to find some information about 'marking'.
you see a very close friend of mine was 'marked' earlier this week and as i know the ins and outs of the situation (as we are close friends) i disregarded the talk immediately as i know my friend is obviously having issues but is no way a 'danger' to anybody else's spiritual health.
basically they are dating a non-believer- hence the talk.
Everyone it seems looks at the subjects in a one dimensional way. Very little empathy at all. It's this very short sited view that keeps so many trapped. Hand in there and remember that Jesus is your master and just because most including the governing body don't follow the teachings of Christ you can rise above it all.
apparently the spanish forum, extj.com, is being shut down coming december.it's pretty sad.
there is still so much work to do to help people in latin america and spain come out of this cult!.
What happened to the effort to make jwfacts.com in to Spanish? Someone needs to step and get after it in this language!
this was first said in 1918 and adjusted to "will never die" in 1920. of course, the wts taught that the anointed had to die to go to heaven; but there was no great crowd teaching then, so they were talking about all non-anointed people on earth.
the wts members were known as bible students then and had been expecting the end in 1914 and it was adjusted.
one date that was stressed at that time was 1925. so i think they idea was that people living in 1918 would be alive to see the end in 1925, which of course did not happen.
I have the book that's tilted Millions now living will never die. I think it was printed in 1920
i just received the following message from a friend this morning.. barbara.
eloise dupuis, 27 years old, died at the hotel dieu hospital in lévis, quebec, canada, wednesday, october 12th.
she died because of her religious principles.
Really sad can't have blood unless it's cows blood. This cult is just plain sick !!!!
i can't tell you how many times i have heard this while growing up as a witness.
every time i questioned hypocrisy in the org i was told " well we are imperfect" and its was beyond annoying.
at what point does "imperfect" turn into just not christian?
The Bible said Job was perfect, so why can't we be perfect?
here is something i found interesting:.
biblical scholar claims the story of jesus christ was a hoax designed to control the people.

I believe there may have been some real people that became characters in the writings that became the passion of Christ or better known as the gospels. But one thing to consider when thinking weather or not jesus was real. Part of his famous sermon on the mount was found in old writings from or near Babylon. So why would the son of god be quoting from an old religious saying???

I believe Atwill is incorrect. It's of my opinion that those that have said there's a connection with the God Serapis and the guy they now call Jesus. To many of the dots connect and the Serapis cult became very popular in the Roman Empire before and after the guy named Jesus.
So anyway Serapis was the foundation God and all the gods that were atributes to him and thier characteristics became who we now call jesus.
in their sick and twisted bubble that they live in, the jehovahs witnesses clearly have no idea about the logistical nightmare of disposing of 7.5 billion corpses.. when i heard an elder once say that it will be a joy to clear away the wicked from the earth, he actually had a smile on his face.. can they even begin to imagine what 7.5 billion dead men, women, children & babies looks like?.
"let the eye feel no sorrow".
sick bastards..
Could you imagine all the maggots and flies, it wouldn't take long and the amount of insects, spiders and all manner of animals trying to eat flies would be off the charts.
