A few years ago I had a mild nerveous 'breakdown'. I was having suicidal thoughts and really struggling with stress and depression. I checked myself into a mental health facility for 3 weeks. During my time there I received needed help from a psychiatrist and a mental health counselor. It was nice to be able to finally talk about how I really felt and believed. It was liberating! The psychiatrist helped me see that I was suffering big time from cognative dissonance. My brain was at war with reality. Now that I have fully embraced ttatt, I'm fine and have a real outlook about life. The "pain was worth the gain"

Different Vibe in hall since new understanding of Faithful slave

by Clambake in

has any noticed a different vibe in the kingdom hall since the new understand of the faithful and discreet slave .

when my wife forces me to go once and while and like to say i wonder what the slave will be this week .

man it pisses her off but she has been hardly actively since the new light.

The faithful are waiting for the next shoe to fall. Those that have been around for a while know that the stuff the GB/WTBTS are now teaching is just a cover up for failed predictions and expectations from the past. So by throwing out a' mind bender', nu-lite every so often there is a period of total distraction to keep the rank and file busy trying to keep up with the new stuff. It gives them something to talk about. imho.

Voices The Governing Body Listen to (Jehovah The Corporation Sock Puppet Included)

by frankiespeakin in

how do the governing body hear the voice of jehovah their corporation sock puppet?

how do they know jehovah's moods?

sad, indifferent, joyious, melancholy, pensive and so forth?

I always wondered, if big J is guiding the thinking of the GB/WTBTS, then why don't they all automatically and simultaneously receive the same information at the same time? Why would they need to 'vote' or have a majority to approve or change dogma? Now that I know WHY, I don't wonder any longer.

Memorial 2014: Wrong date?

by AnnOMaly in

this was meant to have nice inserted pictures and tidy hyperlinks but the forum's being glitchy today.

so unfortunately it's going to be a messy post where you're going to have to exercise your tapping fingers and click on the links to the pics to see what i'm referring to.

sorry about that.. in the article recently studied "do this in remembrance of me" (w13 12/15), there is a box on p. 23 giving the date of this year's memorial and how that date is arrived at.. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2013926.

Really, when Jesus said to "keep doing this", he didn't say when to do it. The WTBTS makes such a big deal out of the DATE like it really matters.

by Jeannette in

have a happy day friends, and don't get fooled.

eyeuse2badub

Hasn't the WTBTS been the doing the "April Fool's" thing now for about 100 years? Being a gung ho JW is like April Fool's day everyday or is it just me?

Does anyone know? Will our disfellowshipping be announced when the CO is here?

by cha ching in

sometime soon, we are to be "announced" as "no longer one of jehovah's witnesses".

well, that's what you get for testifying against "glorious ones.".

question is: will this kind of announcement be made the week of the co visit?.

eyeuse2badub

That would be SPECIAL!

The Battle of Armageddon LOL.

by transhuman68 in

jw
friends

i was looking through a watchtower publication that i bought recently, and found this quote about children & armageddon:.

our theme "rearing children in divine favor" does not refer to the rearing of the children of armageddon survivors in that new world when all surrounding conditions and all forces in operation will be toward helping those who live to do righteousness.

no; but it refers to rearing children who are born now before the battle of armageddon.

As I ponder the book of Revelation now, I think that the writer was on some halucinogenic. Maybe it's just the wild beast in me.

What Watchtower Belief/View Never Sat Right With You?

by minimus in

but their views on blood are just plain weird!

meat has blood in it even if it's bled.

still eating meat means consuming blood.

eyeuse2badub

All most all of the beliefs that went contrary to common sense and/or common customs. Pretty much all of them!

WTBT$ will no longer support Elder's legally....

by Newly Enlightened in

we received an email and are wondering if anyone can verify this little tidbit of news.

does anyone know if this is true or not?.

maybe any elder's on here?.

eyeuse2badub

WTBTS/GB thinking on this is: Why risk supporting those who are willing to do our bidding for free? The soldiers will protect the generals, the generals don't protect the soldiers.
