  Understanding our CURE from ADDICTION to the Watchtower cult.

  by Fernando in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  would it be fair to say many of the posts on jwn are in essence about this?.

  if we could better understand what worked for us, would we be better able to help others?.

  where do basic human needs ("met" by the cult) end, and where does addiction start?.

  I had no cult addiction. But I bear the scars from the self-righteous, mean-spirited behaviour of my parents who were addicts.

  Around the age of 10, I started having my doubts about God due to his complete indifference to the suffering of millions of people, particularly during the Ethiopian famine. During my teens, I learned about more adult topics and information about religion and the JWs that continued widening the gap between reality and belief. I could not honestly reconcile what I was being told with what was actually true or proper/integral.

  My cure was to never get baptized, to be intellectually honest, constantly educate myself, and develop critical thinking skills. I put my life-plan together which included moving away from home once I graduated high school and go to College so that I could get a good paying job. The job I landed was very busy... so much so that I had no time for any religious BS.

  nasa discovery proves the bible scientifically accurate.

  the debate.

  for decades there has been a long standing debate between science and religion as to the validity of the biblical genesis account of creation.

  Jehovah's Witnesses--- A Religion About Nothing

  they say that seinfeld was a tv program about nothing.

  in the end, it was all silliness.. this religion is inconsequential in the big scheme of things.

  it's stupid.. .

  Once my parents became baptized, they became 'do nothing' people because they waited on Jehovah to fix everything. Well, Mom is dead now, and my Dad is fading as the dementia continues to break down his brain. Things didn't get 'fixed'.

  And still... Armageddon has not arrived.

  Lets list everything that has pagan origins!!

  i have a feeling i am going to have to explain to my jw folks why i have decided to allow my children to participate in holidays at school.

  theyll probably be wondering too why i will get together with our non jw family for the holidays.. .

  we know jws avoid holidays because of their pagan origins.

  The word pagan literally means 'country or rural dweller'.

  When one elevates oneself to the position of "God's Chosen", that's when the mediocrity sets in.

  it used to bother me that people would say that about my well meaning religion.

  how do you prove that witnesses are indeed, false prophets?.

  Without the sun, there would be no life on this planet. But according to Genesis, there was. This is a big reason to dismiss the Genesis account

  According to theists he can do all sorts of cool shit.

  Yet seems 100% incapable of doing so.

  The mana account is an excellent example. If he can do it once what is the issue with doing it repeatedly? No normal human father would see his children suffer needlessly if it is within his power to stop it.

  just wanted to introduce myself

  i've been a lurker for quite some time and enjoy the forum.

  i've reached a point in life where i don't argue ideologies anymore so i don't have much to say.

  i've been out for decades and believe i've been mostly de-cultabilized (if that's even a word).. my family is still in and i haven't had contact with them in years.

  Welcome!

  There's so much information out there. Don't these people read?

  Anything published outside of Botchtower is 'worldly' and demonized by the Borg unless it supports their agenda. If material contradicts the Borg, JWs despise it.

  My father came to my house a few years ago (before he went into a nursing home). I had a copy of "Urban Farm" magazine on my table. He picked it up and looked at it with extreme suspicion. The Borg makes people fearful and paranoid.

  

  Yeah... can't you just feel the evil emanating from this?
