so i usually get dressed for school at my job.
i couldn't today so i figured i'd drive by my parent's house and ask if i could change there seeing as they live two blocks from my house.
as i am pulling up to my parent's i see a familiar face.
""a life worth truly leaving" haha classic!
I have a feeling that ....... sooner than we think, the JW.org aka Watchtower...... will become a laughing stock! The witnesses will think they are being persecuted but the truth is, people will be disgusted with them. All their dirty laundry will be hung out for all to see!
Then .........you can bet your booty that you will be sooooooo glad you were smart enough to the hell get out!
Congratulations to all who made it and just hang on tight!

one of the biggest missunderstanding and unbiblical teaching of the jw's is that jesus is michael the archangel.
here is what proffessor anthony buzzard has to say about this:.

after listening to the hearings of the australian royal commission into institutional responses to child sexual abuse, i am no longer content to have simply walked away from the organization.
as a matter of conscience, i do not want my name linked with the organization in any way.
i know this letter has been posted previously, and i thank the author.
Sail away ......... this feels so right to me. Thank you for posting it.
If and when I go that far, and stand-up that strong ...I will run it past my lawyer and perhaps have him draw it up. It will be worth every cent me thinks!

at 20:00 - 21:30 in his testimony, mr. geoffrey jackson - in answer to mr. stewart's question about the governing body claiming to be god's spokespersons - claimed that it would be presumptuous of them to say that they were the only spokespersons which god was using.
mr. jackson doesn't seem to know what he and his fellow g.b.
members - and the providers of his lifestyle, the wtbts - actually teach as "bible truth.

watchtower owned.....4 congregation assembly hall , on a small island ?
Joe .....thanks .....I saved it too!
please enlighten me as to where and when...
When they invented the new lite of the overlapping generations, and basically let the older ones know that they were going to DIE. Instead of "this generation will not pass away" ...it was, we were going to die in this system!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So of course the older ones were SHOCKED & wanted some answers. They said in the watchtower to ...................stop your complaining, stop whining like the isralites, Jesus must have meant 2 generations!
So basically shut the fu$$ up! They don't give apologies,,,,they don't give anything! these buggars just take!
well its been a while since i've posted on here but i guess i just need someone to talk to.
i've recently turned 16 and i guess life is just starting to hit me like a ton of bricks.
i'm still not sure what i want to do with my life.
BlackWolf ....16 is a difficult age, you are expected to be mature when really at 16 how much experience do we have? Not much. Sounds normal so far. The biggest problem is being programmed by a cult! They try to control every aspect of our lives. Congratulations on waking up as far as you have. You are doing very well. Gather your thoughts, get organized and take one thing at a time ......and do some creative thing to expand your horizons. Don't rush ....Armageddon is not coming. Research...goggle is your friend Sending you a huge hug!
a summary for you guys of the rather lengthy discussion about peoples ability to leave the organisation:.

And yet.........they claim they have NOT BEEN PICKED yet!
"
But now, the teaching is that Christ has YET to finally approve the Governing Body in its role as the composite slave. With this in mind, you would expect the Governing Body members to exercise a bit of humility, and not try to second guess the decision that Christ is due to make in the future during the Great Tribulation when he finally arrives to inspect his slave class. Instead, the Governing Body boldly makes Christ’s decision for him in advance. Note what is said on page 25…
“In view of the foregoing, what can we conclude? When Jesus comes for judgment during the great tribulation, he will find that the faithful slave has been loyally dispensing timely spiritual food to the domestics. Jesus will then delight in making the second appointment – over all his belongings.” (w13 7/15 p.25 par.18, bold mine)"
