Great Tribulation and Trump

by TakeOffTheCrown in

please, let's discuss this subject without attacking one another.. it appears that trump has won a victory that no one expected.

is it possible that trump may play a part in the great tribulation?.

there are some who believe trump is one of the most unqualified of men to ever be elected president of the united states.

This OP is a new JWNET low. Could some of you BE any more effingsttupid?

And Takoffthecrown (yes, take it off. it is clearly too tight and is impairing what few brain cells you have) you've been given so many excellent responses as to why this OP sucks the big one and yet you find The listener"s remarks about Obama's possible Hail Mary to thwart Trump "very interesting?" WTF?

What legislation do you think he could pass in the next 2 months? Wars start? He could have all the Ds and Ts from the White House keyboards removed. Yeah, that would show him.

In case you missed it Obama is a man of class and grace. Yet, as I recall, Obama WAS the anti Christ in 2008. You probably bought into that delusion too.

I tried. To not attack that is. Clearly I failed.

What Percentage Of The Governing Body Are Pedofiles?

by Brokeback Watchtower in

the reason i ask this is because we heard reports that greenlees was kicked out of bethel because he was one and then we heard reports that another one, jaracz i believe was one all though it sounds kind of iffy to me.. 2 out of i don't how many total gb seems kind of high so i'm thinking that perhaps the percentage is quite higher as this would explain to a degree why the gb have written in clauses to keep the organization from reporting them to authorities.. it is true that part of the reason they remain silent to authorities is because of the reproach it brings to their precious corporation but i think that is only a small part of the reason and perhaps there might be a bigger reason maybe quite a few have been over powered by their darker side and have engaged in this behavior but because of denial and delusion they will not confess and willingly encourage cover ups.. just speculation i know but i'm starting to think that there is a very dark side to all of these guys hidden by their persona(jungian) that is making them stoop so low as to implement these very bad policies..

Having consensual sex with adults is not pedophilia. For that matter, having non consensual sex with adults is not pedophilia.

Enforcing policies that protect pedophiles also does not make them pedophiles. Disgusting criminals, yes.

Unless someone has evidence that any of the current GB are pedophiles, this is trash.

Newly out, am I shunning them before they shun me?

i have indeed made the truth my own, and i am never going back to jehovah's witnesses.

the fact now is that talking about this religion with someone who believes it makes me sort of angry.

it raises my blood pressure.

DJS

schnell,

Our hearts are with you, as most if not all of us have been in your shoes. The consistent advice I would give you or anyone else in your situation is to make the cleanest, quickest, safest and quietest break possible from this vile, evil cult.

You only have so much physical, psychological and emotional energy, as do we all. They will be much better utilized moving away from this ambition robbing, conscience stealing, family destroying cult as quickly as you can.

Focus your anger toward positive endeavors. I know it is easier said that done, but it is possible. All of the anger, frustration, emotions, etc. that you spend on the cult, its teachings, practices or adherents will essentially be a gigantic waste of time.

The 'rewards' of any potential gains in trying to speak to dubs or change ANYTHING about your circumstances are miniscule when compared to the 'risks' to your own emotional and psychological well being. Plus you are wasting valuable time that will be much better spent charting a new course of happiness and prosperity for you and yours.

Breaking up is hard to do. Good luck.

i really hate all these "what if" posts

by nowwhat? in

all these hypothetical questions about the organization's demise or what if god did this or that don't do anyone any good.

personal experiences.

info and insight about your congregation, circuit, area and the watchtower itself is what we need.

DJS

Ditto Sparrow. I think we all know the 'whys' and 'what ifs' are part of the healing process for some. As for me, the only whys and what ifs I asked myself were how could I be so blind, stupid, and gullible. It never occurred to me to play what if and why with either the DarkLords or the DarkTower. Geesh, there are many more vile, evil, effed up cults than they.

And like Scarlet, after I figured out why, I said never again. But I didn't waste precious time lamenting the time I wasted with this nasty, brain killing, ambition robbing, conscience stealing, death dealing cult.

Those who get stuck in the 'whys' and 'what if's' need a jolt back to reality, self reflection and, as Jean Luc used to say, Engage No. 1. Warp Factor 4. Whatnow?'s OP is that jolt.

Now if we can get the molly coddlers, enablers, blame shifters, excuse makers, infantalizers and victim makers . . . .

Yes, most of us do ignore them, and as far as I know this is the first OP on this topic.

Whatnow? saw an opportunity to assist, whether he knew he was doing so or not. His post will likely accomplish 1000 times more than all of the enablers, molly coddlers, blame shifters and victim marinaders will ever accomplish in helping newbies and those not so newbie.

I believe the vast, vast majority treat noobs with kindness, understanding and patience. But too often too many infantalize posters. Not everyone telling you sweet things is your friend, and not everyone telling you things that hurt your feelings is your enemy. Sometimes it's exactly opposite.

Nowwhat? is correct.

But so are Viv, schnell, doc, scratchme, blondie and just about everyone else. This site advertises support for those exiting the cult. Sometimes that support should, no must, come in the form of a wake up call. That is what Nowwhat? has done.

Someone who routinely posts 'what if' OPs is suggestive of an emotionally stunted or immature person. We of course know that. All of us. It was 'normal' for us to play what if when we were children. Adulthood and being able to successfully assimilate in the world around us requires a good grasp on reality.

Constantly posting what ifs also strongly suggests our dear former brothers and sisters are stuck in neutral and are not advancing beyond the post-dub malaise that can affect just about all of us.

It is part of our responsibility, IMHO, to point these things out - as Nowwhat? has done- so that those stuck in neutral and in need of self reflection and yes, more emotional intelligence can move forward.

Nowwhat? has done these a service, and I thank him. He also did it in a kind, gentle manner - unlike that other poster (I won't tell you his name but his initials are DJS) who has been known to bitch slap people into reality.
