  Art, you are not "screwed". You are "unscrewed" now that you know the truth. Welcome. Feel free to ask specific questions as they come to you. You have the whole world ahead of you!

  Mass baptism nullification 10/2/16 #unJW

  by rebel8 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i thought i would rework this and try it again.

  i found an old baptism nullification letter here written by poster balsam, and revised it a bit.. i really think we should do a large-scale baptismal nullification request.

  letter and more info here.. i am concerned there is no way to track how many people did it.

  I hate to say it but I once, innocently, called for mass protest to a site or organization and didn't realize it was actually spamming. That is not allowed on here so I assume someone will bring it up and take down your post. Could be wrong but who knows?

  “I suppose it is the nature of things that, as one ages, one is obliged to witness the gradual loss of all that one has ever cared for until the laggard self slips into what is, at the end, an altogether commonplace and so common darkness.”

  From 1876 by Gore Vidal.

  How much of the Society's publications just get stored away in the garage?

  by donny in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  almost a year ago i moved back to the dallas - fort worth area after spending 16 years in the northern california area.

  the area i live in has several nearby parks and walkways and these areas have several "share a book" pods mounted on a pole spaced about 1/2 mile from one another.

  people are encouraged to add books they no longer use to these pods and to take one if they are interested.. i have been diligent on removing watchtower publications from them and what has surprised me is how many old publications in pristine condition are added almost on a daily basis.

  Who hasn't had stacks of unplaced magazines and felt "guilty" for throwing them out? I took a truck full to the dumps when I finally pulled my head out of my arse. So much stuff! Total crap. I knew witnesses that were like hoarders of the stuff.

  I would rather be in the JW cult than the ex-jw cult

  by questioningmyfaith in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have posted one other time on this website.

  just for the mere fact that i wasn't anger and bitter and ready to declare the gb the sociopathic criminals that so many here ascribe to, my initial question digressed to bickering over ad hominem attacks against the gb and not my beliefs that i'm questioning.

  some did give me some help on my questions.

  2. beliefs

  wow this is interesting!

  i think how much emphasis this puts on "loyalty" shows their is an issue.

  they're trying to plug the wholes as much and quickly as possible.

  2. beliefs

  they say you mellow out with age.maybe so but not in my case.l feel its an insult and degrading to us humans to have to live the way we do if there is a god.deep down l guess l do believe theres a god but lm having great difficulty trying to understand why things are the way they are.l dont need a bible bashing from anyone l just feel frustrated and helpless.l just battle on like everyone else but l get the feeling theres a whole lot more to our existence.

  If "He" is so magnificent and so on, I must amount to less than a speck. On the other hand, I am God to me, no one matters more at the first than me because we die alone. Now that said, it doesn't mean I am malevolent, just aware that this is probably my one time around so I try not to waste it, treat everyone else as if it's their only trip too and hope I don't get hit by a truck. Other than that? I expect "Him" to make up for my lack of understanding him since "He" appears to want it that way. If not? Oh well.

  The Kingdom Message

  by truth doubter in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  regarding the unique preaching of the kingdom by wt (new creation, heavenly kings, priests and judges, restoration of paradise on earth etc.).

  the scriptures seem to back up wts interpretation.

  so, although there are a million reasons to become inactive, how can our conscience allow us not to become active in the work described at matt.

  After I spent pioneering 9 years everything I taught was changed and is now considered apostate teachings. Preaching their kingdom is like stacking BB's. Get a life.

  For fun: What should JW stand for?

  by dbq407 in

  judged worthless was one i thought of today.

  .

  because anyone that isn't giving 100% all the time is judged by other witnesses as worthless..
