Three Comments & An Ass-Chewing

by piztjw in

so, normally if i go to a meeting i sit and don't say a word through the entire ordeal.

however today i just could not keep my big mouth shut.. it was funny that i even got called on....three times none-the-less.

of course 99% of the sheeple just sat with blank looks on their mugs this morning.

Don't Miss the Meetings - Hebrews 10:24, 25 Re-examined

by Oubliette in

i recently got an unsolicited lecture from a well-intentioned but nevertheless misguided jw friend.

the gist of it was that i needed to go to all the meetings or i would miss out on "everlasting life.".

i responded that i do not need to go to meetings to have a relationship with god.

The "Assyrian", the "seven shepherds", the "eight dukes"

by bats in the belfry in

.. .. .. .

will become whatever the wtbts needs them to become.. .. once upon a time they said this:.

1943 the watchtower, april 15, page 124.

Dis-member... maybe you have to teach dubs how to care first? Perhaps that's the first step in thinking for oneself. Caring about your heart, mind, life, family, friends. I think one skill WTBTS teaches so well is complacency. You just learn how to sit there and swallow BS. complacency eventually leads to abandonment of self. Forget about feeling alone. When you're a jw, you learn that nothing matters, not even oneself. Everything is of, for, about Jehovah. How could it matter what I think or feel if I am just a speck of dust on the rim of a bucket? (I'm thinking of that text in Isaiah.)

So really, Dismember, what did you expect they were going to do with that information? Those that leave jws behind entirely by waking up to TTATT are those who saw sparkle of light or tasted a morsel of life... freedom to be.

2013 WT CD Library?

by blondie in

jw

will the wts be issuing one (or has issued onne already?

) or will the www.jw.org online library be the future?.

There will always be people who posess the original. They will not be lost. WTBTS can hope and pray for that day when the past they created iscompletely erased, but it will not come.

Witnesses: Why The 1/19/14 WT Lesson Is Dangerous

by Apognophos in

today's watchtower lesson touched on the history of hezekiah's reign, and then made a surprising modern-day application.

having used my time before the meeting to research the underlying material instead of highlighting my magazine, i personally found this to be an upsetting study, and decided to put this warning here in the hopes that some active witnesses read it.. the most important thing i want to say to you is that the actual flow of events in this bible account were severely misrepresented, and that there are some disturbing implications in the distortions that were made.

1. hezekiah's father ahaz makes himself a vassal to assyria out of fear of their overwhelming might (2 kings 16:7, 8).. 2. upon becoming king, hezekiah rebels against assyria (2 kings 18:7).

Ok... so Mom did the robotic JW thing and people in my home country know about me...

by ILoveTTATT in

so.... i went out all day today... just wanted to get away from the sh!tstorm that was created yesterday.

anyways... i come home like an hour ago, and my dad told me that mom called my aunties in central america and told them stuff about me, and also she told the elders of her hall... the elders want to meet with me, but i think that it will be at my house.

i am curious about your ideas about:.

BlackSheep-- I hear you and definitely agree with you. The reason why I say he should leave home asap is bc it seems that none of what's taking place is on his timetable. Maybe if he were to go and be his own man in his own space he won't have to worry about mom or the elders constantly hounding him. I don't know, just a thought. I do like what jgnat and others suggest about how he should talk to.his mom. Im not advocating movng out so that he can avoid the situation. All I'm saying is that he could slow things down by moving out.

what tools does a duped person have?

intellectual damage is done once you are indoctrinated.. your emotional ties to your "spiritual family" form a bias to free thinking.. .

why should you make your life better by first making it worse?.

MOVE OUT! You've stalled for too long. Just leave! And continue with your family ties still intact and your ILTTATT self intact!

I know from experience that it still takes courage to act even if we are being forced to act by the other party. I had to move out of my house -- with 2 kids, 2 dogs, and 13 years worth of history-- in less than 30 days. It seems like you really have no other choice but to move.Wouldn't that quiet things down immensely? Stop dragging your feet and take the type of action that the situation requires. Please, just get out!

Much sympathy to you. You can do it. You sound smart, focused, passionate, and dedicated. Good luck!
