  Observation?

  by dogisgod in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  last memorial i found an invite on my door for the memorial.

  on it was quoted, "truly i tell you, you will be with me in paradise".

  in growing up that phrase was a big deal because the discussion was where the comma was placed.

  Last memorial I found an invite on my door for the memorial. On it was quoted, "Truly I tell you, you will be with me in Paradise". In growing up that phrase was a big deal because the discussion was where the comma was placed. Truly I tell you today, you will be......" vs "Truly I tell you, today you will be with...." Have they removed the word Today from this scripture in their latest Bible?

  If Apostle Paul had been living in our time, would he have written certain things he did?

  by venus in

  1) he wrote woman are not qualified to teach (1 corinthians 14:34).

  in my experience, i have been taught by both teachers—male and female.

  some of the female teachers were too wonderfully effective.

  Undermined is putting it mildly. I view him as the great hijacker of christs message. I'm sure he a Joel olsteen would be pals.

  Freedom from Abuse

  by Faith after Deception in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i hope you don't mind if i share my latest blog post here: .

  one of the most common ways in which people are psychologically traumatized whilst in a cult or religious high control group, is the extreme pressure to “forgive” people who have abused them.

  i use the word “forgive” in quotes, because the concept often goes way beyond the biblical mandate.

  I saw a lot of abuse in my congregations. You can "forgive" till the cows come home. The abusers have to remain ACCOUNTABLE. Forgiveness is for you.....accountability is for them.

  Do You Ever Think Of ALL The Wasted Time Because You Were a JW?

  the longer you are out the more you see how a cult steals all your time, resources and energy.

  we wasted so much because we were witnesses!

  +Yes, I have but its more healthy to look ahead. Kinda hard to do when you never made plans because the world was going to end. You know, painting the deck of the Titanic is what we were told. Now I have to decide who I want to be. Better late then never.

  Hello

  by Jules Saturn in

  1. jw

  hello, i've been lurking for quite some time here on this forum, reading a whole lot and i've finally made the courage to create an account as a form of escape and in hopes to be understood and not feel "mentally diseased".

  little background on me, i am a born in but i consider myself a pimo (physically in mentally out).

  i feel like i've always had doubts but these doubts would sink with the meetings and the assemblies and every other little thing that drowns any doubts a witness may have.

  I think you should get a lovely badge that says "happily fulfilled mentally diseased". It should be viewed as an extreme compliment from people who are brainwashed.

  Last Memorial Experiences

  by NoviceLocs14 in

  2. experiences

  i'll share mine first.... i had never missed a memorial for at least a quarter of a century of my life.

  i was kind of raised to believe that missing the memorial was a sin in itself.. by 2013 memorial season, i was missing most of my meetings (even though i was still technically part of my foreign language congregation), and i had just come off the pioneer list.

  i still made plans to attend the memorial (god forbid if i missed that lol).. i knew that typically our memorials were around 9 pm, since we usually got last priority (being a foreign language hall and all).

  To kill or not to kill

  by Chook in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  how many jws would kill a violent rapist in there home or protect their family with lethal means .

  the one thing i love about the usa is the right to defend oneself with lethal force in their own home.

  it's not that i want to kill someone but better them dead than my children..
