  How Radicalised are Jehovah's Witnesses?

  by snugglebunny in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  back in the early 70's, the wt stated that all persons who had lived and died would be resurrected after armageddon.

  only non believers would be killed at armageddon, never to return.

  in short, if you died before the big a, you were guaranteed to return.. this gave rise amongst several ex's to concerns that their well-meaning jw parents might just consider the possibilty of having their offspring "lovingly" bumped off so as to ensure their resurrection!.

  Yep... this group is one nut-job at the top away from becoming ISIS.

  I lost a cousin due to the no blood policy. She left behind a husband and 3 children.

  When someone believes that a symbol of life is more important than life itself, they have crossed over into the world of extremism.

  Welcome BYCNL!

  Yes, our family can become mean-spirited, self-righteous, holier-than-thou a-holes. It's been a rough road for me with my folks.

  But now my Dad has dementia and is in a nursing home. No one visits him except me. I don't even think he remembers being a JW.

  (posted for andersonsinfo).

  people are protesting against plans to build a large care home for jehovahs witnesses behind their houses.. homeowners living in the bloors lane area of rainham have lodged objections to proposals by the jah jireh charity, which specialises in spiritual and physical care for followers of the religion.. people living in neighbouring homes say it is too big and its three storeys will dwarf their properties.. .

  what the care home will look like.

  I asked my Dad if he wanted to live in one of the Jah Jireh homes. He said "No."

  Can you discredit "wait on jehovah to fix all evil" elder's padded line even told to victims of pedophiles?

  by PokerPlayerPhil in

  i am sick of being told this same crap after decades of suffering at the hands of wicked men and women, how many of you have had to fight these irrational expectations we are supposed to grin and smile when people are actively trying to screw with us and elders say .

  good it is that one should wait, even silently, for the salvation of jehovah (lamentations 3:26; titus 2:13).

  my life in the organization has not been entirely bad, there were many good people and plenty of jerks like you all experienced in this adventure we call life.

  If you wait on Jehovah to cut your grass... it ain't ever gonna happen.

  Waiting on Jehovah + Pray More = Nothing Gets Done + People Get Hurt/Ill/Dead

  Remember this scripture: kindly yoke, light load, refreshment for your soul...

  by Muddy Waters in

  matthew 11:28-30 "come to me, all you who are toiling and loaded down, and i will refresh you.

  29 take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for i am mild-tempered and lowly in heart, and you will find refreshment for yourselves.

  30 for my yoke is kindly, and my load is light.. do you remember this scripture?

  I feel Matthew 10:35 contradicts this scripture. How can one believe Jesus has a 'kindly yoke' and a 'light load' when he's just stated he's going to turn family members against one another?

  I was born in 1963. I was never baptized.

  My parents weren't 'dedicated' when I was a child so we didn't have the full brunt of what it must have been like for many who were. My Mom smoked and used that as an excuse not to get baptized or go out in Field Serve-Us. Back then Bible Studies were conducted in our home. We did not go to the Hall except on Memorial night and I only remember going once or twice.
  

  I was raised on the doctrines and life was a struggle, due to my logical, reasoning, intellectually honest mind. I remember being told that the end was so close I wouldn't grow old in this system of things, that I wouldn't even graduate high school, and I would definitely not need a job/career. I had a hard time swallowing this story as I got older. Here I am, almost 52 years old, and am now closer to the end of my career than the beginning of it. And yes, I have grown older.
  

  I remember having to justify to my parents every time I wanted to do something.

  The mantra from my Mom was: "What do you want to do that for?"

  I couldn't wait to graduate high school and move away to go to college. I had to get out of the house and away from the JW toxic mind-set.
  

  Despite my Mom's feeble attempts to dissuade us, my younger bro and I did go to 'higher learning'.

  None of us children are JWs nor are any of my parent's grand children. So much for the JW legacy in my immediate family.

  Other members of my family (on my Mom's side) are not so lucky.
