no, i'm not just talking about the totalitarian regime that is the organisation.

i'm talking about how the jw's will fall, and how it links to north korea.

basically, last night i was watching a documentary on north korea.

family is off to the 3 day convention from tomorrow.

i was wondering if anyone could give me a little update about what is said, and what publications are released?.

it's just i'm bound to be bombarded with it by 'worried' family who want me to go back before the end and i wanted to be prepared for what to expect.. much apreciated.

What are the JW's up to now days?

2. beliefs
so i left around 4 years ago, my family have pretty much left me alone after the first year of harassment, but in the last 6 months i've been hearing about 'the end' a lot again.

so i'm basically wondering if anything has happened?

if anything specific has gone on in the last 6 months (or few years since i've left) to make my family get all zealous about me going back to the 'truth' again?

Hitler and the JW's...

i'm sure it's been asked before, but i'll ask it again.

after watching a ww2 movie, my dad came out with a random line..."what's special is that a small group of people known as the jehovah's witnesses stood up to him.

now, my dad is a strong jw and i have left, so this was a blatant taunt.

If you had the power, would you erase humans from existence?

if you could, would you make it so humans never existed?

because of all the pain and suffering humans have endured for millenia and, in turn, erasing all the glee and bliss experienced as well.. -sab.

just my opinions of course;.

money:.

a common attitude among ex-jw's is that the watchtower will face collapse only when the money dries up - i disagree.

Mental Block...
by ForbiddenFruit in
1. social
2. relationships
hi, i am a male in my late teens... now, as we all know, when you are a jw, even looking at the opposite sex is a deadly sin.

the most a boy can do to a girl without brother 90 year old virgin giving you a lecture, is awkward stares from across the room.

even a mere "hello" is enough to raise suspicions.. anyway, as time goes on, this thought pattern carries itself over, to even after you've left the organisation.. whenever you like a girl, you are scared to make any sort of approach, even a friendly one, in case someone (she) thinks you are a sexual pervert.

i know this is a pointless question, but what if this happened:.

you came home from work one day, sat down, and turned on the tv.

there is a sudden announcement that the un has banned all religion.

So God can sin?
by ForbiddenFruit in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
something i've been thinking of.... god created humans in his image, yet it's possible for human's to sin, so therefore it's possible for god to sin right?.

the jw's will throw the, "but jehovah can never lie", but if it's possible for him to sin then it's possible for him to lie about not lying?
