  The new personality

  by longgone in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i've been thinking about the changes we make within ourselves after leaving the wts cult.

  i'm not referring to how we spend our time now that we actually have some, but who we have become, or working to be?.

  the gb carries on and on about "stripping off the old personality and putting on the new one.

  I definitely 'stripped off the old personality'--the one I developed as a life long jw. Got rid of the superior attitude, the judgmental viewpoints, the 'holier than thou' attitude. I stopped drinking the wt cool-aid, stopped smoking the wt smoke screen, and stopped my drug addiction to the crack (pot), 'feel good' wt drug of everlasting life in a Paradise earth with my very own pet panda and lion.

  I put on the 'new personality' of being the person I was born to be. No more FOG to interfere with living a good life. I'm a kinder, gentler, and more genuine human. I'm a better husband, because I now have time for my wife. No more fu*king busy work of always preparing meeting parts, assembly parts, public talks, elders meetings, sheep herding calls, kh cleaning, CO week crap,circuit assembly days, district conventions, field service, family study. Whew! I'm also , a better father and grandfather, for all the afore mentioned reasons.

  Yes the 'new personality' that I have put on truly is the 'best way of life'.

  Apostasy endorsed in this yesterday's Watchtower Study

  by doubtfull1799 in

  “there may be occasions when it would be good for us to reconsider a choice or decision.

  it could be when the prevailing circumstances change.

  jehovah altered his decision at times when circumstances changed.

  Well I think it's safe to say that most of us here have already adjusted our faulty decision (getting baptized) based on new and accurate information. Interestingly, have mentioned this to my, still-in, wife so many, many times. If wt can adjust there thinking and teachings, based on new information (aka-new light) why is it that forcefully require members to shun those individual members who use the same reasoning?

  She was sweating after the wt meeting yesterday when she saw it in print. Changing your decisions can be a very good thing--so sayeth the wt!

  Lets be honest, not a little leery of the resurrected ones????

  by James Mixon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  maybe i have watched too many zombie movies but i would sleep with one eye open, inquire to see what is your favored menu,do you sleep walk, are your body parts functioning properly (i would hate to shake your hand and it fall off).

  your wife never married after 10 years and now you are back, can you perform in the marriage bed?

  ?it would be hard for me to sleep at nights with someone that have been dead for over one year sleeping next to me.

  Yea the purpose of marriage was "to multiply and become many". So once the resurrection occurs and jehober, in his exquisite display of love for mankind, resurrects everyone that died before Armageddon, the friggin earth will be full. No need for "multiplying and becoming many". No need for marriage, no need for sex. Hell---we'll be in Paradise bro.

  How hard can it be? Read a printed question from the wt magazine and then call on a person who is frantically waving their hand in the air so that the person can then read the printed "answer" from the wt magazine followed by everyone then nodding their heads in approval. Do not deviate from the printed material in the wt magazine. Scold any who dare exceed the 30 second time limit per comment. Do not exceed the 60 minute indoctrination period (aka watchtower study).

  Done, a 12 year old could conduct!

  by Balaamsass2 in

  1. watchtower

  just heard from a silicon valley elder yesterday that a number of local congregations are being dissolved and combined between belmont and palo alto, ca.

  on the san francisco peninsula.

  can anyone verify this?.

  It certainly looks like a true reversal of philosophy for wt. It used to be "Build and they will come".

  Now it's "Sell for they have left".

  Never give up!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i just wanted to share a quick thread to remind us all to never give up hope that our loved ones who are still mentally trapped in the org may one day wake up.. when i first starting waking up i never thought my wife would also awake.

  i have always loved and respected her ability to think and reason, but i assumed that the hold of the organisation would always have its grip on her.. but slowly, and with patience, i shared some things i had learned, and the results have been amazing!.

  my dear wife, who posts here under the name "unstuck" is so fully awake along with me.

  I'm still waiting for my wife to Awake! so thanks. However, I do think that I have made some significant headway. She is no longer the 'go to meeting and service' Nazi she once was. It doesn't take too much persuasion to get her to go see a "R" rated movie if it gets good reviews.

  I agree that it takes a lot of patience to help a mate who has only know the jw way to wake up and see things as they really are. But by sharing small things, little at a time, you may see the wall of defense start eroding.

  I think that the most significant thing is that she has seen me transfer from being an uptight, always worried, seldom happy, constantly busy with 'theocratic' activities, no fun elder, circuit assembly speaker, life time jw to now being a much happier, not too serious, content, fun loving, having time for my hobbies, non critical of others, non judgmental regular human being.

  Can the dead hear?

  by AmyWatson916 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the "what does the bible really teach?

  " book says we cannot speak to the dead (page 64) and that the dead do not hear (page 58) but on page 68 the book has jesus talking to a dead man and the dead man apparently hearing and responding.

  the same thing happens on page 69 when peter talks to a dead woman and the dead woman apparently hears and responds.

  I don't think the dead can hear but I do think they can speak. Doesn't it seem like the gb hears Russell, Rutherford, Knorr, and mad Freddy talking to them from the grave. I think they can hear them saying,

  "Keep up the phony bullsh*t religion--it's a great gig. Oh, and sorry guys that we didn't prophecy that the damn internet would ruin our printing empire!"

  At least the wt now has fresh fodder to start the "king of the north vs. the king of the south" bull sh*t again. Maybe wt will throw in the "wicked witch of the west vs. Sparlock" video!

  HA the good life --Cart witnessing

  by wannaexit in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  on my way home from work today, i saw the modern day pioneers having a grand old time, relaxing in the sun.

  two sprawled on one bench and the other two talking up a storm, with their iced cappuccino, just enjoying the day.

  the two carts were a number of feet away.

  Now that we've retired, my (still-in) wife and I travel quite a bit. Whenever we hit a fair size city, I look around for "cart witnesses". I take pictures of the "cart witnesses" and show them to my wife. I always then ask her, "Can you imagine Jesus approving of this sort of public declaration?"

  She, and even I, am embarrassed by the lackadaisical attitude of the "cart witnesses". I'm thinking of re-joining the borg if I can get "cart duty". I just don't know if I can consume that much coffee during my "service" time. Do they get to "count their time" when they have to go pee? If so, I'm in! lol
