why i am an angry atheist.
(i never was a jw, but the basics were not so different).. .
i was brought up (raised, for my us friends) in an off-shoot of the plymouth brethren gospel hall culture.
Hi joe...your anger is obviously directed to the hypocrisy of these people, who in essence were ' deceivers '.
You will be content you were able to see through the sham.
The parallels with watchtower are obvious, we can only hope more wake up to their deliberate deception which keeps so many ensnared .
Hope your anger calms and you are able to go forward positively.
Best wishes another atheist.

Read above the outlined section. How prophetic;...conveying ideas by printers ink has furnished the opportunity for much cheating and lying......I wonder who that could be then...Mnnnnn oh yes the wbts.
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.
Best wishes.
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!
the convention book released yesterday....say hi to group 2 of the 1914 generation!!
a graph shows group 1 being fred franz john barr etc...with a group 2 consisting of the current young faithful slaves we "met" the "group ones.
Re the generation graph...., the skid marks are totally appropriate. Smells and looks like sh...t!!!!!
