  I went to my 1st JW 'gathering' in 3 years

  the negative outlook of the jehovahs witnesses made me leave the religion.

  i was a young man (you can read my previous experiences) who was consumed by negativity.

  it made me want to kill myself at one point.. i went to a gathering with my wife recently & i have to say that they are just as negative as i was, but worse.. consumed with depressing tales of misery, depression & general pessimism.. in no way would i be attracted to those people.

  Hi leftchica,

  Freedom feels good doesn't it? They have the power over you that you yourself give them.

  i got babtized at the age of 23. i was not a so called born in guy.

  i started studying the bible at 20, and before that i never heard of the jw-religion.

  so everything was pretty new for me.. to make a long story short: a month or so after baptizm, i felt probably lonley one evenig and got drunk right out of my brains.

  Self medication to keep the cognitive dissonance under control.

  Myself, I rarely drink.

  Is the "torture stake" dogma a reverse idolatry in itself?

  by JWoods in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  witnesses have famously (and gleefully) tossed the usual christain "t" cross symbol overboard after having used it themselves for quite some time.

  one common arguement is that "if christ had been shot by a rifle, you would not worship the image of the gun" -.

  and yet, they do not shy away from insisting on the notion of the upright torture stake.

  Somehow the song, "The old Rugged Torture-Stake" just doesn't have the same appeal.

  In this board somewhere is a thread that shows the image used in the JW publications but the complete image had all types of different Stauros.

  Also leolia wrote a very nice piece. http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/10/92381/1.ashx

  Is it an unforgivable sin to tell an elder to take a acrobatic aerial attempt at fornication with a hollow pastry?
