  i remember browsing this forum the day after i had joined it, and their was a knock on the door.

  i thought it was one of my package from ups but instead it was two sisters.

  To love Jehovah more than friends and family.

  by schnell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i was a believer, i endorsed this idea too.

  i commented with things like "love jehovah more than your mate" or "love jehovah more than your friends".. it didn't occur to me as i was saying it that jehovah is an idea.

  this god concept is an idea that should really pass scrutiny if you're supposed to love it more than anything else.. at best, this means that jehovah is real and you have to love jehovah more than the people in your life, no matter the despicable things he is said to have done, condoned and endorsed in his holy writ.

  That's one of the things that really pushed me down the rabbit hole. The blood doctrine and what a medical person said during a meeting at the hospital got me thinking and doing research. It was horrible to realize that people would kill themselves or family members in the name of a god and a misteaching of an issue. People are so blind and can be led to do just about anything if thier told god said to do it.

  Beelzebub the forefather of JW.org.

  by James Mixon in

  2. bible

  no other individual has been responsible for creating such a large number of none believers.

  people may change faith but they still believe in god but when "most" leave jw's, oh boy they become down right disrespectful of jehovah...so a great game plan by satan, he's a tricky devil.

  to be known as the number one religion that turn folks away from god, that is saying something about your faith.....lol.

  Years of research is what made me an atheist, the JW religion just pushed me to actually do the research.

  Now I'm Convinced There Probably Is No God

  yesterday i made a visit to the museum in my city.

  the top floor is the planetarium, which has a connecting room with a huge dome ceiling where they project lessons and lectures and you have a 360 view of the night sky etc.. this particular lecture explained about our galaxy, and how it's only one of billions in the universe.

  and then we learned about each planet, some of their moons and the sun.

  First time back in a KH in 8 months

  2. experiences

  so... one of my employees is a miserable servant and was giving the pt and invited me to come knowing full well i was faded out, i go along cos i respect him and thought why not, i must admit i was a little nervous headed back there (a neighboring hall not my old one) i saw alot of familiar faces and some old friends who were aware of my fade, all so pleased to see me at a meeting again and i can sum up how i felt about the experience like this.. .

  have you ever been to a party and been the only sober person there and are totally aware of the ridiculous things said and going on?

  that's what it felt like except the party would have been more fun of course,... all these good people, drunk off their heads on wt propaganda and false hopes, the irony was the talk was titled "does your life have meaning?".

  More congregations? One of the strategies they used to inflate the numbers in my city.

  2. friends

  i looked at the 2017 yearbook figures this morning, and it reminded me of something which happened in my former congregation 2 years ago.

  it was a tiny foreign language congregation with at most 25-30 publishers.

  comes and splits a 30 member congregation into....three.

  I disagree if they were to put to much positive spin people would figure it out easily. The numbers they provide are discombobulated so as to keep ones confused just like the watchtower lessons where one paragraph contradicts the last one.

  I believe the other thread that thier going over about the numbers in the new year book is a waste of time. Those number are just plain out of wack. They list that thier still growing but I think those numbers are just a delusion like when they use the word Truth. Everything they publish is bullshit including thier numbers.

  i have had a conversation this evening with a jw friend i have known since childhood.

  he is of the opinion that armageddon will have come and gone within the next 5 years.

  are the jws now pinpointing 2020 as the supposed year?

  Real Estate Business?

  by no-zombie in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i was going over some of the older posts of others and without starting some kind of flame war, i got no idea why people are saying that the society is some kind of real estate business.

  of course its making millions of dollars in its real estate sales but this a one time event.

  its down sizing by selling the furniture.

  It may not have been thier intent at one time but I things have changed. Others would say otherwise.

  Someone posted that thier was a area in Australia that had a major downturn in real estate values during Rutherfords time and he instructed the brothers thier with the Borgs money to buy buy buy.

  Plus we know what happen with Beth Sarim. I think Beth Sarim was the idea originally for a place for Rutherford to stay but then they realized what they had accomplished.

  This maybe can be confirmed in January 14 1975 when instead of spending thier money to tell the whole world that they only had a few months to live they bought the Towers Hotel in Brooklyn New York.

  For me this is the smoking gun of thier true motivation. Plus a lot of thier newer transactions haven't been about Kingdom Halls but nice properties they call translation offices and the like.

  A friend of mine was wrongfully dfd. After he got reinstated he faded away and nothing has happen to him. Another friend saw the light after they mishandled his situation and he walked nothing happened to him. I know of a few others that stopped going for one reason or another and after being gone they are forgot about. I think this is the norm unless you make waves.
