I am not DF/DA but I am clearly a fader who does evil things like gambling, celebrating birthdays and other pagan festivals. I even wished someone happy ganesha day (I work with indians and its one of their gods).

I haven't been to a meeting in years and missed the memorial and will never ever go back. If the suited "shepherds" appear on my door thats where they stay.

I detest this religion and their pompous arrogance. The world is filled with multitudes of people who are much nicer, kinder and self sacrificing than they ever could be. I would rather die than live in a "Paradise earth" filled with pompous pretend do gooders who stab each other in the back and engage in petty rivalry. "I DONT GIVE A DAMN THAT YOU ARE A PIONEER. I HAVE A JOB AND AN EDUCATION. JUST WAIT TILL YOU ARE OLD AND DON'T HAVE A PENSION"

I am always caught in between two trains of thought though.

1) Try and help them (which I have done and it turned into a "friend" stabbing me in the back.

2) Screw them because they have all the information openly available if they choose to live in la-la land let them

@ Joey Jo-jo

Please elaborate. Since I am curious about your experience.

I would make the point however, that because you can't explain something is not a good enough reason to subscribe to theism.

The romans worshipped the sun and moon for example,. because they couldn't explain them.

LETTER TO ELDERS CONCERNING THE NEW ELDERS BOOK.

OUTLAW you are great lol you make me actually laugh out loud...

What a load of self important muppets. I am surprised they are not doing biometric readings and p*ss samples before letting people into this secret meeting.

Any spies that are still serving as MS / Elders that could get a recording of this special event? I think it will most likely be "control the flock more" "don't let them think for themslves its dangerous."

For those still in- why do you (really) stay, and what would it take for you to leave the org?

by serenitynow! in

for the so-called conscious class, those of you who know it's all a disgusting lie, what is the real reason you stay in?

i find it hard to understand how ones who know what the org truly is would continue to be an active jw.

i'm not talking about the "faders"- those with an actual plan to get out as painlessly as possible.

We are here on this earth a fraction of time. To those who are in just for the sakes of others you are wasting the potential of your lifes. You are being untrue to yourself and you are lying to those you apparently love.

Yes its hard to leave, many have only friends in the "truth" but you can get new friends. Better friends. Friends that won't look down on your because you don't share their bullsh*t belief.

I suppose I am lucky most of my family woke up at the same time but I still have to tread carefully because not all my family are out yet.

To those of you with spouses, speak to them about your concerns/doubts. You maybe surprised that their true feelings are quite different from what they project. In my case I was a Ministerial servant giving instruction talks but hated the ministry with a passion and really detested the meetings.. (course I never admited this to anyone) Subtle questions and logic can be the first thread that is needed to unwrap the entire thing (the blood thing really made me start to question... then that led onto other things). Once one pillar of WT starts to crack its not long before the whole thing comes tumbling down.

I wish you all luck and hope that one day you can actually be yoursel and break free of the prison you are in. It's liberating.

How Many Here Actually "Handled The Microphones"?

I was the sound attendant many a meeting... was great you could walk around and use any old excuse. "Just checking the sound is ok in this corner of the hall..."

Microphones were good as well for spotting clevage but you couldn't drift off because the moment you do you dont hear what the speaker has said and then you are like "which hand to choose... emm emm emm " .

Our sound system was a hand me down from a richer hall and was frequently acting up... Funny when people sing without music or try to...

I asked a question.........

by iknowall558 in

20so the one that had received five talents came forward and brought five additional talents, saying, master, you committed five talents to me; see, i gained five talents more.

i will appoint you over many things.

22next the one that had received the two talents came forward and said, master, you committed to me two talents; see, i gained two talents more.

Keep it up and you will be banned from posting. That forum is moderated beyond belief. JWs find themselves so willing to defend and make excuses for this organization despite being the first to jump on Christendom for getting it wrong. They are filthy hypocrites who are happy in their smug little "I'm better than you" world.

You can't tell a JW how corrupt and pointless the WT is. HE/SHE has to see it for him/herself and be WILLING to.

What exactly do Jehovah's Witnesses believe?

by chashathaway in

i hear a lot, both on this forum and elsewhere, about all kinds of things jehovah's witnesses believe.

but i've never felt that outsiders were a good source of information about what faithful watchtowers actually believe.

in fact, i've discovered that the worst source of information about a religion is from those who were members but left the faith.

Keep away, keep away! Too many people have wasted their lives in this cult. Even when you get out, you are not really out... Some of the posters here know more about JW theology than when they were actually members.

Since millions now living will sometime retire.....

if you bought into the lie that "millions now living will never die," has the.

realization that you will very likely reach retirement age, settled in your mind just yet?.

for instance, i never looked to see if there was a 401k plan when i was in the jw cult.

Started my pension at 25. Obligatory in the company I work for otherwise I wouldn't have, since that time I am no longer associating with JWs. Glad I have a pension hopefully by the time I retire compound interest and equities will have done their job!!

qw'vw bwwn brainwashed yo believed thrt 1914 was the year satan was kick out of the heaven having freat anger.

my theory is the year was 1939. he came down with great anger and he like on the past went after the jew (that's another story which i will get into later).

for now, i ask you to look at 1939. jesus spole of of theiir being wars, earthqakes, and food shortages and pestialience.

"There are things the JWs believe which I belived in prior to ever studying with a JW, such as no blood and there being 144,000."

How did you come to the conclusion that "no blood" in the context that JWs teach is a correct biblical stand point.

Eating of blood in the scriptures only ever applied to animals, it was only the blood that was taken from a live animal during sacrafice. An Israelite could eat an unbled animal that he found.... This is scriptural. In addition they could sell unbled meat to gentiles. Why would God allow them to do this if it was wrong for humans to eat blood.

JWs fail to look at the context of the bible and focus on singular verses like "abstain from blood". If you are truly abstaining from blood then you shouldn't eat any meat nor should Christians breast feed their children because each has blood in it.

The blood doctrine of JWs is one of the most heinous and sick interpretations of scriptures that is responsible for countless many dying. Even thinking about it p*sses me off.
