the wts turned out to be right and in the next couple of years the great tribulation broke out?
would you have a change of heart and think "yeah maybe the were right all along!"?
would you even consider joining them again?
What if armaggedeon was just a warning and it could be changed by seeking world peace? What if armaggedeon was just Johns bad nightmare? What if?....What if?....What if???? This is why I left the B'org in the first place. Too many fairy tales to scare little children and cause widespread paranoia and guilt amoung the desperate souls who were just out to find the real truth, and got sucked into the spoof-troof.
Just Venting

who has heard of the illuminati?
and the secret plans they have to rule the world?
geeesh...does anyone believe this?
Illuminati? Just a bunch of rich guys hanging out and having fun and scaring the paranoid. Can you see them all assembled in a darkened room with big chairs and red velvet curtains....watching the sports channel and eating popcorn and drinking beer, farting and belching and laughing.....? Too much fun!
Hugs!

perusing the insight books years ago it occured to me how many names of bible charactors seemed prophetic.
that is, their name matched to the story they appeared in.
"achan" for example means "bringer of trouble" and sure enough he was.
The names in this story have been changed to protect the guilty and............

if you think theocratic warfare is a conflict to terminology, the institute of american dialect has coined the term "theoterrorism.
" simply put, it is the killing of civilians for religious purposes.
another formidable reason why theocratic governments do not work.
Theoterrorism.....hmmmmmm
What if the WTBTS felt that they needed to help things along a little to get Armaggedon going so that things would proceed as they "foretold"?
Interesting thought.

at first when we joined, we all choose a user name that would identify us.
we also had the choice of puting a picture next to our user name.
often, some change the picture for a better one.
My username is here to stay too. It was given to me by children I used to babysit. They said I was the aunt they always wanted. *blush*. The loved my homebaked cookies and my Oz state of mind.

many of us are or were witnesses because we were born into the religion.
others became witnesses because they really thought it was the truth.
so many wish that they never had a jehovah's witness come to their door or their parents' door.
I would probably be sane.
i'm aware of many couples where the man, usually the breadwinner, can no longer tolerate following the wt party line anymore.
i myself am the only breadwinner in my family and although my wife works hard to appear as the staunch jw, i never berate or hold it against her in any way as do most other men i know in similar situations.
she knows how i feel about the wt so she almost never asks my opinion on soceity related matters.. but, what of the couples where it is the woman whose fallen away but finds herself totally dependent upon her staunch jw husband for support?.
Hi out4good,
As a female whose spouse is a JW, I found that when he became disabled and unable to work I became the breadwinner for our family of 3 children. At the KH we were a picture perfect family. At home life was hell. He tried to control me by controlling the money and by verbal and mental/emotional abuse. He often "preached" at me telling me how wicked and evil I was because I was too tired to go out in service, or to attend meetings. I was working 40+ hours per week and coming home to a filthy house, cooking and then cleaning and laundry until the wee hours of the morning. Oh by the way I also have lupus all the while. He constantly rode me about the virtues of the capable wife and told me that I was not one. He was at home on the computer all day, or watching TV and doing his studies for the meetings. Leaving my then 13 year old daughter in charge of the little ones as soon as she came home from school, until I came home. I never with held the goods from him because then I would not be upholding bible principle to render his due.
He left us 2 years ago and went to live with his mother. The elders said that there was nothing they could do to help the situation while he was there but to allow him to be the head of the house and gave me a long counseling on being submissive. I quit going to the KH after he left and have not been back. He is still in good standing and a member of the super fine apostle club.
