Theocratic "Apostate" WarFare

by mana11 in

there are many things that can be done to make others aware.. perhaps in the following comments it would be good to have suggestions of "direct actions" that everyone can do to have an impact on the wtbts.. .

i suggest as an idea the following if you havent already done so;.

google play app's.

KateWild

Mana,

I applaud your desire to be active and express your views about the organisation, but I personally think this idea will not work. If you put a negative comment for a JW app, all JWs will see it and say "ahh that's just an apostate, we are warned they're bitter".

Our aim should be to help JWs wake up from their indoctrination don't you think?

You may very well be irritated by the comments, but these are fully indoctrinated JWs, I was once like them, but now I am awake. I am awake thanks to activists that did it the right way.

Trinkets and memorabilia is a million dolllar business for many JWs. They are selling all kinds of rubbish and JWs are lapping it up, many have gone jw.org crazy. If there's a demand, make a few bucks providing the supply. Kate xx

November 8th Special Meeting

by Chris Tann in

anyone have any leaks on this three hour meeting we are having early november?.

.

KateWild

Just more adhoc meetings to keep the rank and file keen. Just like many have said it will be the same old manipulation, nothing special at all. I can't believe I feel for it all and preached more each time there was a special meeting.

Zalkin seems to be doing a steady job. It's good to see that jw.org is being held accountable. I am annoyed though at their audacity to keep trying to appeal decisions....it's no good. Kate xx

bluesy country song by a guy named scott snake miller.

lyrics cut/pasted from his website.... .

still wide awake ,heard a knock on my door comin down off of somethin from the night before.. looked out the window and what did i see?a pretty girl waitin for me.. she started blamin the devil for all my mistakes,talked of worship and prayer so i tried to relate.. i guess god could'nt make it so he must of sent her,the jehova witness girl.. she left me a booklet to read when i can i said yes i will surely do that mam.. full of colorful pictures,spiritual scenes i read up to page 23.. it said when the wrath of the lord brings the world to an end if i get my shit straight then i just might get in.. cause i aint on the guest list so i'm takin my turn with jehova witness girl.

KateWild

Good find, it just goes to show JWs girls are part of the public relations and advertising. Some men will turn their lives around for a good JEHOVA WITNESS GIRL. Little do they know what they are really like, breaking all the rules on weekends.

Is It Just Me??

by What Now? in

we're 2 years in to our exit from the witnesses.

we're not disfellowshipped or disassociated ... just inactive.

none of our friends speak to us anymore.

KateWild

Many have a happy smooth exit, but many of us struggle. When we are part of the Org we are involved with a big social scene, bigger than anything else in the community. So you couls volunteer as I have done, or join a drama or knitting club, but it will never be the same as JW.ORG.

My exit has been isolating too, and my daughter has found it hard getting a circle of friends. She is an adult and lives in a different city. But I would never change things. Learning TTATT has been great and the fact I don't have cognitive dissonance anymore has given me more mental stability.

You are not alone in how you feel, it's a terrible cult that practices shunning. I am so sorry you had to go through this in the grocery store.

Take care

A question that bugging me

by wheelwithinwheel in

jw
friends

why it has been deemed appropriate to assign brothers and sisters in each international convention city to spend hours and hours making souvenir grab bags full of knick-knacks.

and to assign other brothers and sisters to spend hours and hours preparing choreography, music, lighting, costumes and props, and practicing and practicing cowboy songs, pop music, dance and jw.org skits.. .

and to assign other brothers and sisters to spend hours and hours constructing giant bibles popping out of jw.org boxes and giant bibles turning into baptismal pools.. .

KateWild

It's all about rebranding of a company and good PR strategies. WT has sucessfully rebranded their property development company to JW.ORG they are making a lot of money and doing well with their charitable status too. Kate xx

Pope says Big bang and Evolution are correct !

by Phizzy in

from the u.k independent newspaper :.

" the theories of evolution and the big bang are real and god is not a magician with a magic wand, pope francis has declared.. speaking at the pontifical academy of sciences, the pope made comments which experts said put an end to the pseudo theories of creationism and intelligent design that some argue were encouraged by his predecessor, benedict xvi.. francis explained that both scientific theories were not incompatible with the existence of a creator arguing instead that they require it.. when we read about creation in genesis, we run the risk of imagining god was a magician, with a magic wand able to do everything.

but that is not so, francis said.. he added: he created human beings and let them develop according to the internal laws that he gave to each one so they would reach their fulfilment.. the big bang, which today we hold to be the origin of the world, does not contradict the intervention of the divine creator but, rather, requires it.. evolution in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation, because evolution requires the creation of beings that evolve.. the catholic church has long had a reputation for being anti-science most famously when galileo faced the inquisition and was forced to retract his heretic theory that the earth revolved around the sun.. but pope franciss comments were more in keeping with the progressive work of pope pius xii, who opened the door to the idea of evolution and actively welcomed the big bang theory.

Theredeemer,

Good questions, each believer has their own set of beliefs to answer those questions. Personally I don't believe that God wrote the bible so none of it is a lesson for us, niether do I believe that God is benevolent or cares about us, I just believe in some parts of evolution that had Gods direction, form a chemistry perspective. This is evidence for me and satisfies me.
