  Coded,

  I won't sue you for being gay if you won't sue me for being straight.

  Well, mostly

  Angst and the Jehovah's Witness Mindset

  by cofty in

  there is no typical jw personality type.. any of us who were in the religion for a number of years will remember all sorts of individuals.

  there is as much variety among jws as there is in the general population.

  some were arrogant and judgemental but others were humble and kindly.

  Best OP ever. Sadly the same end of time nonsense is still alive and well amongst so many in our group. As Elsa said, "Let it go. "

  We are in the best time ever. FMF said it well.

  New Spiritually Weak Label: Not Using Tablet/iPhone

  by Doubtfully Yours in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  with last night's meeting it became official: here in the states is a must to keep up with 'jehovah's org' that one fully jumps on board with this tablet/iphone crap.. so, now, all of us that up to this point have refused to follow the wtbts in their electronic/wireless revolution will deal with the browbeating from the 'spiritual' ones.. already receiving lots of grief from hubby and rest of the family/close friends when seen at the meetings with paper publications.

  damn it!!!

  am i alone in this resistance???!!!.

  “Even if this wasn’t the Truth, I need the structure.”

  by Londo111 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i remember many years back a fellow ministerial servant saying this to me.

  he felt that even if jehovah’s witnesses were not the only true religion, the regimented routine of meetings and field service and the strict rules and enforcement provided a beneficial structure for his life.

  at the time i thought if this wasn’t “the truth”, i’d have no need for all that “structure”.

  Ditto Londo,

  People who need someone telling them what to do, what to think and how to behave are pathetic weaklings better suited for the ash heap of our species ' DNA history.

  Karl Marx was thinking about them when he made his opiate and religion remarks.

  Now I have to go projectile vomit.

  I am pleased for the lucky bastards who have been spared my bible bashing.

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am seven months without bible bashing, without door-knocking, or standing by a trolley cart looking like a prat.

  and i feel the real winners are the " lucky bastards" who haven't been told about jehvover.

  furthermore they are spared super pious me telling them what they can and can't do.

  The Rebel,

  You are on a role; don't stop. Isn't that the best-est feeling EVER, not having to bother people with our arrogant nonsense. Plus we get to sleep in, go hiking, stay out all night . . . . . Saturday mornings rock.

  Prince died? Perhaps that's why I've heard the doves crying the past few days.

  Why bring God when you can do it yourself?

  by elbib in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when under temptation, one can easily deflate it by simply changing his thoughts and choosing his associations wisely.

  (philippians 4:8, 9; 1 corinthians 15:33) then why did jesus teach us to pray to god: “lead us not into temptation”?

  (mathew 6:13) .

  God is no different than drugs, alcohol, food or whatever else that weak minded and undisciplined humans have turned to in an attempt to rationalize/excuse or 'help' them when the real and only problems are:

  A Lack of Personal Accountability and Personal Responsibility.

  Until we accept that each of us does have the internal character and strength to make better decisions and overcome or mitigate our predispositions and/or desires, we will never reach the potential locked in our DNA.

  The two most powerful forces in the universe are personal accountability and personal responsibility. The devil didn't make you do it. It is your fault. There are consequences for each decision you make, and there is no imaginary person in the sky who can help you.

  If some of you would start repeating this as a mantra and then applying it in your lives you would be amazed at the changes and improvements.
