a poster on another thread reminded me of when there was a 15 min.
break between the talk and the wt study on sundays.
the break was supposed to be to allow jw's time to drive their bible studys home from the talk.
Hey you guys nostalgia rules...How about forming the the retro 50s/60s tribute religion repreaching the old light.
Think of the fun and discussion s regurgitating the old beliefs !!..Everyone welcome 15 min interval for those wishing to escape !! Lol
hi everyone, im begining to notice patterns of mental issues in the congregations and among the witnesses as a group.
do you think this is a trend in the entire world or is it exagerated in this organization?.
.
How realistically can a persons mental state not be affected by the brainwashing drivel fed to them.
How does a person who cannot think for themselves, question beliefs , be in fear of demons, shun loved ones , accept noooo light even though their previous hopes are shattered.
Women be in subjection to overbearing ass ho.....ls and Not be mentally affected.
I have witnessed the deterioration and currently in a situation family wise because of it.
I am not qualified to diagnose, but that's my take on it through experience.
day after day jws are constantly fighting with me over the internet that the nwt is the most accurate translation and then they prove it by quoting scholars from the watchtower magazines.
they tell me i'm biased and there rendering of john 1:1 as "a god" is approved by scholars but i have researched there so called "supporters" and i have found they have tooken what they said out of context to twist the scriptures to there liking.. .
dr. julius r. mantey (who is even recognized by the watchtower as a greek scholar since they quote his book on page 1158 of their kingdom interlinear translation): calls the watchtower translation of john 1:1 "a grossly misleading translation.
Amen Phizzy !!

Im tired of the significance given to this claptrap.
These mind games concerning scripural translation and meaniing will keep interested parties wrapped up in a maze of deviation which detracts from the important realities of life.

about a week ago my adult daughter called me crying.
it seems her beloved expensive cat had jumped out of her second story window and disappeared.
"oh dear!
Purrrrfect ending I'd say.
that was a statement from my dyed-in-the-wool jw pioneer mother in trying to analyze why i faded and left the jws.
my answer was to say: "if i have to make something real to me, chances are it wasn't real to begin with.
" .
If you don't make satan ' real 'does that not balance and annul the concept of good and evil being outwith our control
when a person comes to that realisation they are in a position to deal with lifes positives and nagatives within a format of reality not delusion.
gods kingdom rules!

measuring the great pyramid of egypt reveals exact prophetic dates.. _______________.
that was the crackpot theory of so-called pyramidologists.. among the men who promoted this silly idea was the founder of the watchtower publishing corporation, pastor c.t.russell.. he did not originate pyramidology, but he copied the work of the astronomer royal of scotland, professor charles piazzi smyth.
as well as another fellow named john taylor (the great pyramid (1859) and built a grand bit of humbug theology.
New religion ..1930s?? Who was anointed in 1919 then? Same old crew same skewed religion they just changed pyramids for some other fantasy.
as a kid i only collected comic books until around 1962.. my collection was very important to me and i had emotional excitement at the release of a new comic--but--i made a date with 2 girls.
on the same day and didn't have any money!
(not thinking it through, you see :).
Hi terry yes I was a collector of musical records mainly 50s/60s, but have long since stopped.
I still have most of my collection in boxes under the stairs, and have hauled them from pillar to post still can't bring myself to part with them to the annoyance of my good lady.
Are you a collector of jw related stuff , as you always have a lot of info'to hand. It must be in your psyche to hoard stuff.
That being said your posts are always interesting.
Best wishes.
