  An animated walk through of Watchtower's history

  by The Old Testicle in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  170 years of watchtower history.

  this video was made using material researched from their own publications as well as outside sources.. this wasn't produced to bash the organisation but provide a background to its origin and path to today.

  the organisation's falls on the merit that this is factual and not sensational.

  MIDNIGHT MASS on Netflix is extraordinary (horror)

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i will post a **spoiler** in a few minutes.a 7 part horror movie on netflix titled midnight mass blew me away and i thought i mightrecommend this limited series (only seven parts.first of all, there is a word never ever mentioned by anybody in this horror drama.that is for a good reason.

  a very good reason.

  i won't mention it either or i'd ruin part of the build-up inside the plot.suffice to say, this horror story is a very fresh take on a well-trodden path we've all been down many times (if we are fans.

  Feels more like a cult

  by Walrus in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so i grew up around this religion and never liked it.

  nothing ever made sense and nobody ever clarified anything if i asked them a question.

  i'm 17 right now so you'd figure oh only one more year until you can leave.

  Update again

  by Akid48 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i don't know if anyone remembers me on here but i'm here to do an update again.. well, i'm 15 going on 16 soon i still remember watching my first video on youtube and learning that all the jw teachings are false and everything that follows.

  crazy times, i have chosen to just focus on school and just trying to be a kid well a teen now but you get the point.

  i'm not really mad about all the jw stuff i've come to accept that i couldn't have done anything to prevent it i was born into a family that was already into the religion.

  Motherly Love, that "Unbreakable Bond"

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my father died a couple of months ago.

  he'd been ill for some time and had many health scares and heart troubles over the years but always managed to keep on going.

  then one time he didn't.. i'm glad i got to know him again and spend some more time with him after so many years missed because of the wts but those years will always be lost forever.

  Meeting Days Felt Different?

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i dont know if it was the same for you, but for me when i was a jw meeting days seemed to have a black cloud hanging over them.

  on thursdays i knew i would be going to the meeting that evening.

  that i would be getting into my meeting clothes at 6:30pm, leaving the house at 6:55pm and be sat in the kingdom hall from 7:15pm-9pm, then milling around for about half an hour before finally getting home for 10pm.

  Has this quote on hatred been true in your experience with JW's?

  by Wasanelder Once in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i came upon this quote relating to the results of hatred: .

  "i imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.

  has your hatred of the organization been an effort to avoid dealing with your pain?

  Becoming a jw actually made me a much more worldly person.

  by lancelink in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was raised a catholic from birth to age 15, that's when my dad started to study with some jw's that came to our door.

  i was too young/ naive to notice how my lifelong friends were slowly being replaced with so called " outstanding spiritual youths".. anyway, there was randy and kevin, the sons of the po from the hall, everyone thought that they were the most spiritual people i could hang out with.

  these guys taught me the fine points of :.
