I'm getting baptized

by BlackWolf in

i know i've started similar topics before but this time i'm serious.

my parents have been constantly pressuring me and after yesterday's watchtower study they asked me if i was going to be baptized this summer... and i said yes.

i probably should have thought about it more before making a final decision, but they're pretty much forcing me to do it anyway.

I hope every answer is the same as mine, DONT DO IT, you have too much to live for.

Are the anointed really "lovely people"?

by purrpurr in

i've personally never met any of those who claim to be anointed but the other jw's who have are always unanimous in their praise of how lovely and what wonderful people they are.

and i don't mean the gb i mean common or garden anointed.

i was told that when they speak about being in heaven that they almost "seem to glow".. is this right?

probably even worse then the normal R&F, disturbed at the extreme, holier than thou in general, nothing great about any of them at all, generally deceptive lairs and very reluctant to share the way they got the calling and the infusions of holy spirit they are supposed to be getting, generally I found them con artists,charlatans, basically liars and quite evil.

I'm still on my JWN holidays but had to pop back to share this experience.

i'm a postman with the royal mail and was assigned to train a new starter yesterday.

my line manager introduces me to 'dave', within seconds my jw radar was on maximum!

in his mid to late 30's, politely spoken and with that haircut - i just knew it.. the post he'd applied for was saturdays only, he said he did a lot of volunteer work.

lets hope Dave could be waking up soon!

JW_Rogue the problem with the psychology behind this and and the massage that the GB hopes will stir the subconsciousness of the R&F is that like most of the lunacy that spews forth from them these days has the complete reverse effect and the GB yet again end up with egg on their faces making complete ass' of themselves.They still continue to haemorrhage members and apart from a bit of growth in 3rd/4th world nations this nonsense only seals the fate of many many more, the R&F are just as materialistic and enjoy the trappings of a nice comfortable lifestyle and a disposable income then any other member of the general public. Have sisters stopped wearing spandex work out leggings in the gym? have jw men stopped wearing tight pants? have the R&F stopped searching questionable online content after warnings that "we" are protecting them? I would answer a NO to all of those issues, how many of the R&F especially from the late teens to thirty somethings would have been silently laughing inside and cringing to themselves when that vid was played to them for the first time? Anyone see the theme from the movies The Wanderers and Assault of Precinct 13?

Gorby says goodbye

my eyes for ttatt opened in 1995 with the generation change and the wt magazine stated "some witness thought that the generation started in 1914".

since 1997, with internet at low speed, i followed h2o hourglass, www.xjw.com and later on www.jehovahs-witness.net.. did a bachelor and post bachelor since then.. now, nearly completed with fading, i feel it's time to go on with my life and do some other things, spending more time with my wife abd children instead of thinking about jw topics in my head.

goal is being a better person and less grumpy at 45.... everything what could be said is already said.

the reality is that the really top quality stuff was kept stored in a paid for ultra secure storage unit, it just looked like they crammed their stuff into a car and trailer, you dont leave the million dollar apartment with every mod con known to mankind in that way, the plasma TV was a 50 incher FFS! These "holier than thou" types know every trick in how how to deceive,spin and bullshit if it furthers their so called spiritual appearance

Suffering and existence of God

by elbib in

many people find it difficult to reconcile suffering and existence of god.

it seems they feel that it is god’s obligation to shield humans from ill-effects of their short-sighted acts..

people’s hobby has something to do with this kind of reasoning!

jookbeard

a dislike from me elbib, utter hyperbole and fundamentalist clap trap.
