  Hm, if the entire world becomes a StarbucksMcDonaldsBurgerKingMicrosoftAOLTimeWarner franchise, then the WTBTS is screwed.

  I still hold to my original point - there is just too much FUGGING momentum within the Society, too many people who are truly brainwashed - they are so deeply programmed that they couldn't leave even if they wanted to. They are trapped. Their minds are their own beautiful prisoners. Very sad I'm glad I got out in time.

  Hehe - isn't that funny, the Dubs are urging people to get into the Org in time, but I'm glad I got out in time!

  That momentum won't just disappear quickly, because the Dubs are also breeding. In fact, they EXCEL at breeding. So many Dub families have children that it is a sure fact the Org will probably be around in some form until I am dead in about 60 years if I lead a more healthy lifestyle than I do now.

  In conclusion, the WTBTS is sick, but it is very convincing to people who WANT to believe in something.

  Oddly enough, Jan 30 (today in SA) is my b/day, and I got one prezzie - from this girl I know, a very nice shirt that fits me really well. She has such good taste! Thanks girl! Made my day...it was so weird getting a b/day present, it just wasn't funny. I'v never gotten one, not ever.

  I do party wildly tho, to make up for all the self-imposed strictness I lived under during my Dub days. Excellent!

  my judicial meeting took place on monday night.

  i was a bit annoyed because the meeting centered on my private beliefs - things that i've already spoken to the elders about in the past many times before.

  i don't think i handled myself as well as i wanted to, but i guess i did ok under the circumstances.

  An open letter to all JWs who want to know why we

  by closer2fine in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  believing is something you feel in your heart; exercising knowledge is something you do and actually requires no belief.

  there is no need for an outside group to tell you how to go about doing this.

  i can see that all that is truly required of you is that you believe jesus is lord, that his father raised him from the dead, that you love god with your whole heart, you love your neighbor as yourself, and you confess your beliefs to others.

  I especially liked the last paragraph, thanks for posting this...it cleared up quite a few points for me. Every post that comes onto this board convinces me more and more just how wrong the WTBTS really is.

  No, the WTBTS will never fall. It has too many hardcore zombies at the center. It may shrink, but it will never fail to ensnare people every year.

  It's not going anywhere anytime soon, because the people in it have their little blinders on and are running very hard in their exercise wheels, so they don't notice much that is happening in the outside world.

  Besides, they have an army of millions of free book-sellers working their silly asses off in FS, and that's something no other religion has, really, it's a very strong point towards their continued survival.

  NYT, I'm not even going to start...

  Ignorance of Silent Lambies

  by proplog2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what a bunch of wall paper.

  99% of the people on this forum are hopelessly believers in one sided non-sense.

  i am tired of the abusive language that has been dumped on me by otherwise respectable participants.

  So Proplog2, you're saying that all of those little kids who were so badly abused should just be ignored? Great.

  You're just another person closing their eyes, slapping their hands over their ears, and shouting "LALALALALA!"

  Children get abused by JWs, and the Society covers this up. Explain away all of those documents on watchtower.observer and stuff!

  What if you had a kid and s/he was abused by an elder? Would you say "Oh, it's OK, 99% of child abuse cases are just fiction" and forget about it? I think NOT.

  How Many JWs Fully Buy Into the WT Party Line?

  by Room 215 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those of us with years of acquaintance with the wt and its teachings, it's clear that full acceptance of the 1914 date as the establishment of god's kingdom in the heavens is a non-negotiable condition of remaining in good standing in the organization.

  many of us know people who've been booted out just for expressing misgivings, lety alone outright denying this teaching.

  almost as central, and as non-negotiable, is the teaching that only baptised jws can expect to survive the big a.. .

  Well I don't actually recall any of that, but as far as I remember, JWs invested and bought houses in the same way as normal people. I wasn't in the Troof for long enough to really see anything changing like that, although there were always the admonishments of 'The End Is Just Around The Corner' which stopped striking dread into me about a year b4 I left!
