  Nope!

  I didn't even know about these things when I left. I never knew about the questionable 607bce year, the teaching that Christ had already returned pre-1914, the UN scandal, the blood issue, pedophile paradise, Rutherford was a drunk, the cover-ups, flip-flops, deceptions...

  Found out all that afterword. I just about threw my neck out twitching over all the "ah-ha" moments I had after leaving.

  The Chinese Have Asked The USA Bethelites For Help With Their Computers And The Brothers Helped Them Out And Then Asked For A Favor!

  they society wanted these people in china to put a good word for them to legalize the work in the communist land.

  the officials said, they just couldn't get the officials to do that but would put a good word for them anyway.. the sh*t these people dream up!.

  Do the Bethelites possess special knowledge of computers?

  God's chosen people can become experts in anything. Remember how Jehovah bestowed special knowledge to the craftsmen when building the Ark of the Covenant? Well, clearly God wants the Chinese to become his Witnesses so it's hardly inconceivable that he would bestow upon a few Bethelites the internationally sought after skills of computer geekery.

  Not much snow this year. Should be pleasant.

  Who now will issue Judgment Day predictions?

  Apocalyptic appeal will not die out. It makes for great theater with dozens of movies like Terminator, Armageddon and 2012, not to mention the Y2K and Mayan calendar hype. It's too exciting to let go.

  These religious nuts know how to make money off of it as well as Hollywood. That's all they see it as - as marketing gimmick... BECAUSE IT WORKS!

  Who will issue judgment day predictions now? Feel free to hold your breath. I don't think we'll have to wait long.

  I think my faith might be returning. Feeling very confused.

  i've been out the organisation for around 8 years.

  when i first left, im positive that i suffered from some sort of post traumatic stress.

  i was very angry at myself for accepting the really bad parts of the religion that i strongly disagreed with.

  Sounds like you're in a pretty good place despite the confusion. Just roll with it.

  This time let YOUR understanding of the bible lead you instead of having your understanding dictated to you. If you get stumped on something, ask around. Get different opinions. Keep what makes sense and toss out the rest... always ready to reevaluate later if necessary.

  No rules.

  No time slips.

  No theocratic BS.

  If they had a video camera in the GB confrence room we would see them dancing on the table as they dump box after box of monthly publisher time slips, yelling, "Woooo! Woooo! Can you fuh-EEEL the spirit brother? Woooo! Woooo!"

  And don't think for a minute they don't do a little happy dance every time they unload another piece of Brooklyn property.

  Interesting convo at the Barbers

  by Phizzy in

  2. friends

  i went to get my annual shearing done the other day, as people kept standing on my hair.

  as i sat waiting for the guy in the chair to have his three or four hairs trimmed, i realised he was a young jw that i knew.. as he left the chair he had to turn around and face me, so could not ignore me, we spoke briefly and then he went.. the barber then asked if i was a jw too, as i knew the young feller.

  i replied that i had been brought up as one, and a load of questions followed.
