Finding our true identity after spiritual abuse in the Watchtower

by Faith after Deception in

i personally find that when you’ve been around toxic people long enough, either in a family environment or as part of a cult or a highly controlling church, (or worse, both!

), you tend to get a very twisted view of your own identity and also human nature in general.. in a religious context, you may end up feeling that you are a “lowly worm” and that in general, people can’t be trusted.

since all you’ve known of relationships has been painful, complex and tiresome, it can give you the impression that this is the norm and that’s all you can expect .

Thank You Giordano.

Not to mention that 1.75 deaths globally per second are just looked upon as "I told you so" "It's Satan" according to the 'Bible' ,,Yep makes heaps of sense,,,,,

How many deaths per second will it take for the supreme deity to do something?

If we are made in his image and grieve when one human dies or one animal dies and jesus moaned when his mate died, how can he look at what's going on and do nothing.

Is he really real or a figment of religious humans' imaginations ?.

Just my 2 bobs worth.

Yes, faith is what it is. If it works for some, good. If it doesn't work for others (realists), good.

Well Done Atlantis and thank you greatly.

Explains the serious 'three elders' huddle' perusing a letter before last nights meeting.

An elders son who is also pimo told me, as we were downing an ale post meeting, to wash the bullshit down at the local pub,"they must be shitting themselves, they've been told again to destroy evidence".

From Melbourne Australia.

"Timing is everything" The Qld decision has them worried now I reckon. Wow.

Fossils fail to provide a connection

by Doug Mason in

page 24 of “the origin of life” cites henry gee:.

a second, more serious challenge is the lack of proof that those creatures are somehow related.

specimens placed in the series are often separated by what researchers estimate to be millions of years.

Can you explain the arctic ice cores showing no sign of a global deluge?

I'm no uni student but i do have a healthy brain with a bullshit detector.

P.S. as i don't have access to the records you claim, could you please paste references to your arctic claims.... I'm happy to learn and admit errors in my thinking.

What is the financial situation for a couple who live and work at Walkill?

by rickroll in

i have a married cousin who has moved to work at the walkill farm.

what is the financial situation of someone like this?

i would assume they do not build social security or medicare.

jonahstourguide

Here in Australia the 'envelope passing' does happen.

The prime beneficiaries are the co's. Blatant disregard for the tax laws regarding 'gifts'.

It's time the tax office here took a good look at the so-called charity status of jws.

Like sending 18 million dollars last year to the parent company in usa ?!!?

Saw a post on reddit...

by Biahi in

many exjw’s don’t remember their birthdays or birthdates, some actually guess and are off by a year or two.

i’m always proud to say my age, and i’m a woman, here’s why.

i thought i would be dead in 1975. i turned 16 in 1975, and i thought god would kill me because he knew i hated being a jw, even though i hated it, i thought it was ‘da troof’.

jonahstourguide

I was a 23 yo male in 1975 Biahi.

Paranoid about dying in da great conflagration that was going to be armageddon cos I was masturbating.

I'm still happily enjoying ALL solo and non solo forms of stress release. . Despite the non arrival of arma.

Apparently the new armageddon is just round the corner!. I'm not gonna hold my breath.

We were duped and fooled by a bunch of nutcases in Brooklyn (Crooklyn).

jtg

Edit,,,,, most jws where I live send each other congratulatory messages on their respective Birthdays. Lots family springs to mind.

Failure to report confession of child abusers offence created in Queensland, Australia

by naomidangerlee in

this happened in queensland, australia, today.

i am proud to be a member of the australian labor party and have worked in politics for the last two terms of their government in queensland.

.

jonahstourguide

Great news.

Especially given qld jws had the worst case of cover up, (as far as we know to date) of child abuse.

Great work and keep it up. I am aware of some in other states.

jtg.

P.S. I knew the guy, Jackson, that wrote the 'when the dust settles' recommendation letter.

Not to be confused with the jackson that believes 'only spokesman for god' would be presumptuous'.

Thank you Doug Mason.

For another thoroughly informative and logical project. Timely in that some 'ubers' in my neck of the woods

are pushing the use of said brochure.

JW visitors addicted to JW.org

by NVR2L8 in

how things have changed!

a childhood friend and her husband stayed with us for a few days and, except for when we went sightseeing, they spent most of their time on their digital devices viewing and listening to content from jw.borg.

a few years back i recall a stearn warning against the use of such devices at an assembly.

jonahstourguide

Yes NVR2L8.

I do recall in early days the demonising of the internet as satan's tool.

Mmmm. They have become an tele-evangelical religion, without a doubt.

Ever heard of this angel power?

by blondie in

jw
friends

https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1961047#h=16:285-23:710. we may also safely conclude that angels, god’s spirit messengers, travel at tremendous speeds.

thus once when daniel began to pray, god dispatched an angel to him in answer to his prayer.

this angel, although coming from beyond the realms of outer space, reached daniel before he had concluded his prayer.—dan.

jonahstourguide

Thank you once again for another gem blondie.

I'm going to use it tomorrow.

I remember that stuff getting shoved down my throat as a youngster amongst

years of fear regarding ectoplasm.
