  she passed faithful to the end to them!

  by jookbeard in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  just found out (second hand of course) and by someone on here that my faithful jw mum passed away within the last couple of days, dont know the exact day, and what cause, she spent the last few years living with my fanatical sister, she was 65 and survived my father by 10 years, bitter, angry and hateful till the end and never as so much enquired or asked how her 2 grandchildren ever were , they are 5 and 7!

  feeling a mixture of emotions right now, they were lousy parents in all honesty, she suffered health wise so maybe its for the best, dont even know when the funeral is!

  Worst Memorial Talk Ever!

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i honestly have never heard such claptrap being delivered in a memorial talk.. the speaker repeatedly put down the way other religions administered the bread & wine, and claimed that witnesses do it exactly as the bible describes.

  oh yeah????.

  he forgot to mention - when reading aloud 1 corinthians 11:25 - that after passing the bread, a full meal was to be shared, before the wine was passed around!

  I Should Have Just Kept Avoiding Their Videos

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have a 2011 new year resolution to avoid reading jw literature or watch their videos.i am not "religious" about it, and will watch/read excerpts, but pretty much stick with that resolution as it only angers me when i read the stuff.. well, someone posted their video of philippines disaster relief due to a 2013 typhoon as a response to a news article to demonstrate that they are not really helping and that it is just propaganda.

  i watched the video and was immediately able to see what the hell is wrong with jw's and their leadership and, as i figured- i was angered.. so i will post this link, but then go back to not watching/reading.

  it just isn't worth it.. in the video, when they knew the storm was coming, the pre-planned disaster relief people texted elders to warn them to evacuate.

  All Gays Are Perverts

  by Coded Logic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  "scientists may never resolve exactly how much of a role nature and nurturing play in same-sex attraction.

  but one thing is clear: all humans are born with the tendency to succumb to wrong thinking and inclinations.

  --romans 3:23. a youth who desires to please god must therefore conform to his moral standards and shun immoral behavior, though doing so may be agonizingly difficult.

  2. bible

  i had a photo copy of the magazine "the generation that will never die!

  " sitting in my office, he saw it and being the voracious reader he is, he asked me "why did the magazine say all those people would never die?

  " i told him "humans make mistakes, they were wrong by claiming that.

  Federal prisoner, child of active JW, could be my grandchild?

  by FatFreek 2005 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i recently learned of the possibility that my son has a love child and that this child is in prison.

  the child was born in the early 80s.

  i learned that my ex-wife and her parents may have paid a large sum of money to the young mother (and others) in order to keep this scandal out of the press and perhaps out of earshot of the local elders.

  Accept Jehovah's Discipline

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so many times the wt uses a phrase close to that, when they really mean accept the gb's discipline.

  with all of these sex abuse cases and other skeletons in the gb closet coming to light, just like king david, perhaps somebody should tell the gb to take their own advice and accept jehovah's discipline as all of their dirty laundry will continue to get exposed and they need to humble themselves.

  Rethinking "this world", "the world", and "worldly"

  by Fernando in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if all religion is a snare and a racket as per judge rutherford, then has religion maybe lied to us on this score too?.

  could jesus have meant: "if you belonged to the (religious) world, it would love you as its own.

  as it is, you do not belong to the (religious) world, but i have chosen you out of the (religious) world.
