  Staying Awake Or Keeping In A Frenzy?

  by AlanF in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we ex-jws know very well how much the watchtower society put us under pressure to believe that "armageddon is just around the corner".

  they've been doing it in one form or another ever since charles taze russell began publishing his nonsense.

  in 1877 he advocated that true christians should believe that christ would "take them home" in 1878. when that didn't happen he moved the event up to 1881. after that he focused on 1914.. the society is still doing pretty much the same thing, building up expectations and then revising them, decade after decade.

  here is your map:.

  1. i suspect the truth isn't what i thought it was.. 2. omg--i realize i've been lied to and duped.. 3. what should i do?--i don't want to lose my wife, kids, family, friends, dog, pet hamster .

  .. 4. what if jehovah's witnesses really do have the true religion and it's simple human error screwing it up?.

  I'm at 6.5 right now. I KNOW I don't believe in gods or goddesses anymore, but I don't mess with JWs or other Christians and try to wake them up

  I had been out and happy to be out for several years when my daughter invited me to go with her to a District Convention a few years ago. Good God I was bored ****less! After that I was not just glad, I was ecstatic to be out of the JW religion!

  All appointed men are being told they have to pioneer now!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  yes, you read correctly..... all appointed men have been told in a new letter that they have to pioneer to "set the lead" whenever there is a "special" campaign month.

  they use some scripture saying that these ones have to show by example.... so for any of us who are appointed and have learned ttatt, it is going to be very hard to fade during this time!.

  WOw! I've seen American Pickers on TV. I would have never pegged her as an ex-JW. Kudos to her for getting out and becoming successful.

  My absolute favorite Watchtower publication is one none of you have ever heard of. It was called "Sound Reinforcement in Pure Worship." It was a handbook on how to set up and calibrate sound systems at conventions. Man, that book was thorough! It was obviously written by a person who knew his stuff about sound systems. Copies of this book were given out at a special meeting for convention Sound Overseers held in St. Louis MO back in the 80's. I still have mine and it's still a good read all these years later!
