  Don't you think that some people are just better off within the org?

  this is my first post, i will introduce myself later.

  first of all, i must say that english is not my mother tongue (i'm spanish), so excuse me if i make any mistake.. do you think that some people simply can't cope with being outside the jws?

  some of them are too worldlyphobic to be around non-jws, too dependent on a fixed set of rules in order to carry on with their lives, too dependent on the hope of paradise and resurrection, too unable to leave their personal comfort zone within the organization.

  Yes

  and some people are better off in prison or a mental health facility or in North Korea.

  If most of the songs didn't sound like funeral dirges, maybe jw's would sing better!

  I think that most fear,as I once did, the realization that all the 'sacred knowledge' that they believed for decades is actually bullsh*t. That is a very frightening prospect.

  Prophecy question as hysteria sets in

  by Isambard Crater in

  a load of j.w's in my family and the congregation i attend as a pimo have been saying the end is very close because the anglo american world superpower is clearly still the king of the south, and russia is now clearly king of the north due to persecuting and banning the religion there and seizing property.. i've forgot what the religion used to teach and maybe still does, about the timing of all this king of north + south stuff, the attack on all religion by the u.n and then the attack on j.w's who will be left standing.

  i mean, i thought jehovah was going to put it into the u.n's minds to ban or attack all other religions, then the attack on j.w's, but witnesses seem to think the end is so, so close because russia has banned them.. it's sad, as some dubs i know have sold their homes and made other big decisions so they can pioneer in these 'very last of the last days'..

  Consider the source, Daniel is the same bible book that tells the whopper of a story of 4 boys thrown into a furnace and come out later unscathed, caged lions that refuses to eat Daniel but eat other men, hand writing on the wall, and a mighty king that eats grass and crawls around in the countryside like a wildebeest for 7 years.

  For decades the borg called the USSR the 'king of the north' and preached about how it will be destroyed and every vestige of it will be forgotten, so when it don't happen--well you're gonna have to pay the price! Or as they say in Russia "tuffshitski".

  Why did the Israelites need a 603,550 man army?

  by eyeuse2badub in

  1. watchtower

  jehober told the israelites at zechariah 4:6 .

  “this is the word of jehovah to ze·rub′ba·bel: ‘“not by a military force, nor by power, but by my spirit,” says jehovah of armies".

  why in the hell did he have them form a 603,550 man army according to numbers 1st chapter vs 46;.

  So I continued to kindly ask my wife on the way home from the meeting;

  if jehober destroyed the entire Egyptian army at the Red Sea

  if jehober sent one angel to slaughter 185,00 Assyrian soldiers in one night

  if jehober sent "horses and war chariots of fire all around Elisha" (an angelic army???) and then blinds the eyes of an entire Syrian army so that Elisha-----alone can take them captive

  why did the Israelites need 605,550 soldiers? sometin' ain't right

  I suppose the big army was just in case jehober got pissed off at the Israelites and decided not to help them!

  why in the hell did he have them form a 603,550 man army according to numbers 1st chapter vs 46;

  "All the Israelites from 20 years old and up who could serve in the army in Israel were registered by their paternal house, 46 and the total number registered was 603,550."

  This subject came up in a casual discussion with my wife on the way home from meeting Sunday. Also I mentioned that if jehober is such a wonderful record keeper and details mean so much to him, doesn't it seem strange that the numbers are all rounded off to the nearest 10. No odd numbers at all?

  2005 Big Announcement (Disappointment)

  by Fred Franztone in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember around 2005, there was an announcement made from the platform that in a few weeks time we would have to remain at the end of the sunday meeting for a big announcement, directly from the society.. i remember all the murmuring, people thought maybe this was going to be related to armageddon.

  everyone was excited, people were speculating.

  only the po in each congregation had any idea what was going on, and they were frequently pestered for information, but sworn to secrecy, which only hyped things up even more.. then the meeting came, anticipation was in the air, the announcement started, you could hear a pin drop.

  For nearly 65 years I've been hearing their bullsh*t that there was going to be a "big", "special", Important" announcement, or arrangement, or meeting which have always turned out to be extremely disappointing. It's all hype to keep the troops stirred up. When things start lagging in the borg, look for a "BIG" announcement to be made and prepare for a BIG disappointment.

  Everything the wt does is "special"--Special talk, special week of activity, special assembly day, special pioneers, special arrangements, special magazines, special campaign. They have cried 'wolf' way too often!

  met·a·mor·pho·sis

  ˌmedəˈmôrfəsəs

  noun

  1. -------the process of transformation from an immature form to an adult form in two or more distinct stages.

  2. -------a change of the form or nature of a thing or person into a completely different one, by natural or supernatural means.

  3. --------Transformation, change, alteration, conversion, reconstruction

  I went to the Sunday meeting with my lovely wife of 51 years and her dear mother who is now 90. The talk was about how the “truth” can transform your life. The speaker gave a very interesting discourse and he used the “metamorphosis illustration” of how an ugly, fuzzy, creepy caterpillar becomes a beautiful winged butterfly. Of course, he was trying to illustrate how the ugly, fuzzy, creepy life of a worldly person transforms into a beautiful butterfly type life once one becomes a jw.

  I began thinking about how that illustration actually fits the life of those of us who have left jw’s. As a jw our life sort of crept along all warm and fuzzy but we never got to spread our wings and fly. And much like that caterpillar that had to go into the cocoon and cease to exist as neither a caterpillar nor a butterfly, so it was for us who left jw’s.

  The struggle to break out of the cocoon was at times gut wrenching, a near death experience for some of us. For me it was about a 5 year struggle in the cocoon. But we made it and now we can spread our wings and fly. It’s a beautiful thing to own your own life. Ask any butterfly.

  I hope it doesn’t take others nearly 60 years to realize that they are the caterpillar!
