  What is the difference between an active JW and a successful FORMER JW?

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  passionate enthusiasm (where is yours?).

  active jw's are pushing the end times boulder up the mountain day after day with an imaginary goal of paradise for their efforts.

  the prophetic dates roll over them and crush them again and again.

  One thing I did was create a checklist of all the new things I hope to accomplish since being awakened. This has helped me set realist positive goals and move forward.

  good article overall. Key quote is the following:

  Alternative Plans of Action:

  I’ve listed some ideas as to how the Watchtower might steer its ship in the current and coming storm. These are shown below.

  1. They could attempt to legitimize themselves by relinquishing their tax free status and selling their books online to their members. However that will require that they report their income to the public and they have so far been unwilling to do so. This seems a viable but highly unlikely option.
  2. Perhaps, since they have seven million adherents they will plead poverty to them and introduce some sort of “new light” with regard to tithing or making regular contributions. They could tie the rank and file’s level of contribution directly to their individual progress in the organization much like the Scientologists and the Mormons.

  This second option seems much more likely.

  Gerritt Loesch life story .... Total hypocrisy

  by Skinnedsheep in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as written in the july 15 2014 wt.

  what gerrit used to believe and teach.... the roman catholic teaching of apostolic succession claims that there is an unbroken succession of popes in a line extending all the way back to the apostle peter.

  (the church misinterprets jesus words that are quoted at matthew 16:18, 19.

  I swear they are trolling us. I'm fully convinced they are. So he goes from admiring the pope, to being the pope. He worked his way up through the ranks and now speaks for God.

  Describe a Model Exemplary Jehovah's Witness

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is it someone who doesn't drink?.

  is it someone who avidly studies the bible and follows it to a tee?.

  i think a model jw is simply a braindead folower..

  I was using pain killers and alcohol to cope with the stress of being perfect. I stopped both after fully accepting TTATT. My mind was free And the guilt gone. I was no longer putting my life on hold. I still crave pain killers but I haven't used them in months. Who says leaving "the truth" doesn't help you clean up your life.

  Need an Exit Plan Fast!

  my girlfriend cult handlers have gotten to her.

  they suggested she should no longer communicate with someone who's thinking isn't in line with jehovah's organization.

  we argued and she told me to go hang myself.

  Feeling better after a day of rest. Sometimes I wonder if life would be easier if I were still blind.

  Thanks for the support guys! Means a ton. I talked to non JW friend and my non JW cousin. I'm not suicidal, but I called the National Suicide Prevention lifeline just to get some things off my chest. I'm feeling better and more importantly am in a better position not to do make a rash decision I'll regret later. Eventually I'll have to leave this religion behind, but I need a strategic exit plan. I wonder how many JWs the counselor on the phone has spoken to over the years.
