  Bureaucracy at it best. Busy work except no real KH's being built! Maybe the building work is 'invisible'!

  Do you find it therapeutic coming to this site?

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i read on another thread how this site has helped another user and that for them it has been a form of therapy.. for me yes, jwn has most certainly been a form of therapy.. i recall the days i first came to jwn (in 2004) and couldn't​ believe i had found people who were of the same opinion as myself in regards to the society.

  it was this site that led me to reading ray franz's book 'crisis of conscience' which i read twice within a week.

  it also led me to jw facts that goes into every nook and cranny regarding the society's​ teachings, policies and history.. note: i also visit many other sites and watch you tube videos a lot, but gravitate here most of the time.. coming here to express my inner most thoughts and feelings has helped me no end and allows me to overcome my frustrations.

  I have to agree with all the commentators so far. Without a doubt, this site has become my "go to" site for the latest and greatest shit from the wtbts. I was and elder (big deal--I know) for decades. I was basically a born-in since my mom started us in the jw religion when I was only 4 yo. I spent the late 60's, 70's, 80's, and most of the 90's being a 'golden boy' for the wt. It's a real f**king shock to the system when one discovers that one has been duped for nearly 60 years. The mental and emotional upheaval of that realization put me in the hospital for a month followed by months of therapy! I'm feeling fantastic now! I now own a life worth living. No more FOG. The shackles are off. The freedom to think and say what I really believe is beyond liberating!

  I thank the many here that have reaffirmed my confidence in humankind. I thank the many here that helped me to remain patient in my, so far, successful fade. (Unfortunately, my wife and several of my children still remain captive to the wtbts, but I'm working on that with some success.) I thank the many here for their fantastic research in an effort to reveal ttatt. I thank Simon for his labor, a genuine labor of love for truth! I also thank those who disagree with the value of this site because your contributions demonstrate that it's okay to have your OWN ideas about things even if I think they're ridiculous.

  Circumcision....Perfect Adam....Uncircumcised....1st century Christians...circumcision ont required

  by blondie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know this has been discussed many times, but i was watching a news story about female genital mutilation (not female circumcision) and segued mentally into why the hassle about male babies having to be circumcised, christians especially.

  even the wts flipflops on this...... if adam, the first perfect man, not under the jewish law code, was given a foreskin by god as an aspect of his physical perfection, why then do so many "christian" people have their boy babies circumcised?.

  if a health issue....why did god create the perfect man, adam, with a foreskin?.

  My question is: why would Saul tell (that little f**king weasel) David that 100 foreskins was the price for his daughter? Everyone has to know that David did not circumcise 100 or 200 men. he slew them and cut of their male member! God's "chosen people" were a bunch of sick bastards and sexual perverts! Praise jah all you people!

  Jehovah Witnesses View on medical marijuana?

  by Slade1224 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was wondering what the view jehovah witnesses and the bible and tract society had on medical cannabis?

  i remember as a kid reading in the reasoning book that marijuana was bad and smoking it caused cancer and was worse then cigarettes.

  as more reach comes out we are leaning marijuana can cure certain forms of cancer!

  The medical benefits of marijuana are well know today. It can help people live a better life in many cases. But, as with the incredibly stupid blood prohibition of the incurably ignorant borg, jw's will be prohibited from it's beneficial use due to archaic thinking.

  But as with blood, I do believe that jw's can accept marijuana fractions! So if the current medical benefits "overlap" the old 'getting high' benefits, it's a matter of conscience! Or something like that.

  Was it just me or was something different about the memorial last night?

  by kpop in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this was the first memorial that i declined to do any work for the memorial.

  i was assigned as a parking attendant after getting downgraded from doing the sound and had no intention of doing either task but i had to attend for my family and continuation of my fade.

  i sat there last night listening to the talk and couldn't help but shake my head as my brain attempted to process the bs.

  The thing that was really different for me about the last 3 or 4 memorials is, I didn't really give a sh*t if I was there or not. I go only for my wife. It was just 5 years ago that I gave the Memorial talk to some 350 in attendance at our local high school. I have to admit that I deviated greatly from the wt outline because it was so friggin' boring. I resigned as an elder shortly thereafter. Thank you Jesus!

  Memorial

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what i noticed during the memorial is the over organised ritual aspect.

  for a non jw is must be hard to follow.. for me, i noticed that during the memorial there is no attention for the historical jesus and the historical events.

  it's all about the kingdom arrangement with it's central point, the governing body of jw.. do you noticed this also?.

  I agree with all the comments so far. It really is such a sad demise of something that probably all of us, at one time, thought of as a very special event. It's become such a mundane ritual that most jw's hardly even talk about it except for the "special" invitation (busy work) campaign that precedes it.

  I truly believe that even the gb can see that the enthusiasm that once surrounded the Memorial is waning. Hence, I noticed that a few years back the the term "Memorial season" was born within the wt organization. Am effort to boast morale? Yes, jw's now finally, have a holiday season also--and it's such a joyous season! lol

  Disfellowshipped people are dead people?

  by snugglebunny in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  skimming though my iphone earlier today i came across a fb post - which i now can't find!.

  basically it was a claim that a gb member had stated that associating with a disfellowshipped person was akin to sleeping next to a corpse.. so obviously i'm curious as to whether anyone else has come across this..

  Basically listening to anything that a GB member has to say these days is akin to being "brain dead". IMHO

  If you follow their stupid advise commands on medical treatment, you will likely become a sleeping corpse.

  A State of Emergency has been declared

  by Bungi Bill in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  everybody here right now is busy "battening down the hatches" as they wait for the approach of a tropical cyclone.

  a state of emergency has been declared in the district - the second one in as many weeks.

  (the floodwaters from the tropical cyclone that hit just last week have still not drained away).. so far, the biggest hazard looks like it will be the storm surges from the ocean, and people living in some exposed coastal areas have already been evacuated.

  Whatever the hell you decide to do, remember that 23 loyal, obedient, jw's were swept away to their death in super typhoon Haiyan when it hit the Philippines a few years ago. Where were they? They were inside a Kingdom Hall worshiping jehober! So much for how jehober protects his loyal ones!

  Money and Happiness

  by berrygerry in

  wt has made a number of references to this alleged quote by j. paul getty:.

  “money doesn’t necessarily have any connection with happiness.

  nothing in my wt life brought more stress and anxiety than not having enough money.. this quote makes far more sense:.

  Money can't buy happiness--true. But it sure as hell can buy a lavish new headquarters in upstate New York!
