My story and what I'm trying to do with it

by Ft2188 in

my dad was an elder my entire life and my sister a regular pioneer for most of my life, along with my mother.

ill never forget being 4 years old and staring up at the stars outside and my dad leaning over to and saying "look what jehovah made for you".

my response, "but how do you know god is real"?

Ft2188- Thanks for sharing your story. Incredibly powerful story of how this mind control cult Jehovah's Witnesses can absolutely tear families apart. I'm so sorry that you went through that. But many of us, myself included are being shunned and cut out of our adult children's lives or even our grandchildren's lives for leaving the JW organization. It's really criminal that many of us are treated this way. Your experience was even more extreme having to live out of your car and being homeless. My god.

I really admire you for writing a book and trying to help others who have been through these similar experience. And you are right - it will not only help others by getting their experiences out there too, it will be a healing force for you personally ! Fantastic job. Keep the great work up ! Take care, Peace out, Mr. Flipper

Do you believe in god?

by freakyAL in

i used to be a staunch believer in god.

maybe its technology and science advancing so much thats got me doubting idk.

do you believe in god?

I'm of the school of " I don't know " and I'll probably be an agnostic the rest of my life. It's really not that big of a deal to me. If " he " or " she " is up there as a " God " I can't do anything about it. If " he " or " she " doesn't exist - I can't change that either.

I look at life as one big , long adventure. As I get older I try to set more good deeds on the " credit " side of the ledger - not for any fictitious award from a sky daddy, but because it makes for better relations with my fellowmen and women. Love, peace, empathy, understanding, and compassion is what this world needs more of . At the end of one's life all one can hope is they've enjoyed and promoted happiness inside themselves and others. The whole fretting over the " God " thing to me is an utter waste of time. Kind of how I roll

How do they get away with "New Light"?

by moreconfusedthanever in

one thing that bothers me greatly is the fact that they can change their policies and beliefs and just say its "new light" and no one bats an eyelid.. there are many scriptures such as isaiah 40:8 "the word of god will last to time indefinite.

" or hebrews 6:18 "it is impossible for god to lie".

if he is "spirit directing" the borg then there should be no need for new light..

How do they get away with " new Light " ? It's called mind control. Individual JW's brains have been shrunk into pickled and shriveled WT Society indoctrination storehouses. They are trained never to question WT Society doctrine. WT is always right- in their mind. If they even begin to have doubts about WT being right- they are told that Satan is causing them to doubt or they are evil for doubting. Think " Stockholm Syndrome " and you'll understand why JW's don't question " new light "

Who is "The" Creator ? Jehovah or Jesus ?

by smiddy3 in

is jehovah the creator ?.

apparently jehovah created the "word" or "logos" ( jesus).

and he never created anything else according to bible scripture.. however the first born of creation the logos /jesus was used to create everything else in the material world.. so then isn`t jesus also a creator ?.

flipper

Neither. We create ourselves. Well, that's not technically true either- our dad's and mom's had sex and that's how we were made actually. TTATT .
