  Jws are in the matrix but reversed, sort of.

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i thought of this lastnight in light of these new assembly videos.

  we have all seen posts about the comparison with the movie matrix but i think it's in reverse, here's what i mean.

  the jw is in the matrix and yes are the batteries for the machine but instead of thier minds being all fun and happy and life being normal they are the ones being chased by the machines living in zion and thinking thier going to die at any moment.

  I expect the GB will be 'raptured' to wherever the money is being laundered.

  Everything will come to an abrupt halt.

  "What happened?" will be the only thing whispered as they stare at their recently sold KHs in confusion.

  The above would not surprise nor shock me. ( at all )

  Feeling Sad After Uncovering TTATT

  by pale.emperor in

  2. experiences

  my initial pangs of unease and doubt led me to research some things.

  well, a lot of things really.

  i've never felt comfortable using the bible to try to calculate dates (1914).

  My way of releasing the pain was to cry like a baby, even though I am a grown man. The pain came out as tears and sweat.

  
  

  This works. Got to get rid of the pain...

  For JW Lurkers

  by mrquik in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  welcome those jw's who lurk here with the purpose of affirming their religion.

  this website was designed for all to express their opinions & beliefs openly.

  many exjw's have pursued all different avenues of belief & you may take issue with those that stray too far from your personal ones.

  A watcher:
  

  Jehovah's Witnesses taught me how to have a personal relationship with Jehovah and Jesus.

  
  

  That's simply a fabricated statement.
  Nobody can prove or show any evidence of a relationship with any non-human entities.

  The reality is the Governing Body taught you to believe they are "Jehovah". Imperfect men. Liars. Sinners. Greedy.

  Plus, shunning is hateful.

  You, along with with all of us, have been deceived.

  I experienced daily nausea for nearly two years. Lost 85 pounds, too.

  It gets better.
  I'm in better shape, as a positive side effect.

  Confusing Opinions with Facts

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in a discussion about the best flavour of ice cream everybody's opinion is equally valid.. in a discussion about the shape of the earth or the origin of species everybody's opinion is equally irrelevant.

  only objective facts and evidence matter.. confusing these two categories is a common feature of conversations in this forum.

  people deserve respect, errors do not..

  The earth is not flat = fact

  What's the farthest one can see with a telescope at sea level? ( in miles. Before the curvature obstructs one's view? )
  

  The earth curves 'how many inches' per mile?

  thanks

  Maybe WTBTS is finally ready to 'cash in it's chips', so to speak.

  Sell everything and disappear.

  What would the JWs do?

  "Take it up with God?"

  I work as little as possible.
  Self employed and semi-retired.

  I worked 10 hours this week. 10-15 gets me by just fine.
  I take time off as often as possible.

  These are the best years of our life!

  The last video in the 2016 convention...

  by problemaddict 2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ...is an epic triumph is emotional manipulation.

  bringing together all of the stories they told thus far and placing them int he "new world" complete with the little boy who was killed in a car accident coming back from the dead.. i have a good friend who is stuck in with family and plays the role.

  he said everyone was crying, and the people next to him rated the videos by how many tissues they needed to dry their eyes.

  I find it cruel that the faithful are being lead along blindly hoping for their paradise all the while giving up a lifetime of hopes and dreams.

  Also, I noted the obvious respect for proper fitting pants in the video.
  

  What was up with the bearded guy?

  Help - I'm going to be conducting the watchtower study

  by Saltheart Foamfollower in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it looks like i'm going to have to take the watchtower study for a while so i thought i'd seek help.. i wont be outing myself or stating anything too controversial, but so far i have come up with the following tactics : 1) ask questions which will get people thinking even if it is about something insignificant - developing a questioning mind is the key to discovering ttat as far as i am concerned.

  2) highlight any extreme points so that some might realise they are extreme.

  3) highlight any good points - helping others in need for example - just because it is the right thing to do.. if anyone has any general comments which could help, please post them here.
