i have been on m any different forums, and only carm is similar to this.. all the rest have rather hypocritical trust in god.. this and carm are for those who apostate to the wtbs and to god.. turned off by the gb, or hypocritical examples in the congregation, they drop worshiping god and their belief in the bible... for they know too much,.
that's why scripture isn't discussed, and jws like me, are demonized.. i am cool with that!
maybe some of you will come to their senses!.
My journey in a nutshell.
Raised a JW. Was a JW until aged 50. Then went to a Baptist Church and felt at home.
Then one day I realised that there is no God answering prayers.
I now don't have any faith/belief in God, Devil or Unicorns.
I just go about my business. Faith seems to be the excuse people use when they can't find evidence.
Not everyone feels that way, but I do.
wishing all of you a happy and prosperous new year.
my wish is for everyone to find happiness.
for those of you who are still having to keep up appearances (pimo's) because of family who are still in, my wish for you is anything that will open the eyes of your family members and finally be set free.. tonight here in minnesota, happydad will be celebrating with a bloody mary, right here at home in my sweats.
HNY Dad.
That's another thing the Jobots took from me. The New year thing.
this wt doctrine includes the wrathful mass execution of individual children, babies and disabled belonging to the billions of non-jws... extremist?
"during the war of armageddon, jehovah will execute people, not in a cold, clinical manner, but in a “great rage.” (read ezekiel 38:18.
) he will direct the explosive force of his anger, not against one army or one nation, but against countless individuals living across the globe.
DOC - "Where does an 800-pound gorilla sit?"
The answer: "Anywhere it wants to."
I also like the 'God is like a Mafia boss' analogy.

I really wonder why in 2021, people still believe this garbage.
after a conversation with hubby l started thinking about silly lyrics in songs , of which there are many .bang a gong by marc bolan is pretty daft , although apparently his lyrics are deep .
do you have any favourite daft lyrics?
.
Pete - Cracklin' Rosie you're a store-bought woman
You make me sing like a guitar hummin'
(what does that even mean?? )
Probably use the substance 'crack' instead of cracklin'.....makes more sense to an otherwise forgettable and tepid song by an over rated artist.
A lot of these songs don't mean a thing, they're just an idiotic attempt at slam poetry or failed doggerel.
graeme hammond writes:.
in his 2002 book that examined the behaviour and practices of jehovah’s witnesses, english sociologist andrew holden devoted an entire chapter to the trauma and friction experienced by those who choose to leave the jehovah’s witness religion.
“those who do eventually break free,” he concluded, “are seldom allowed a dignified exit.”.
Why would Jehovah's Witnesses be required to shun members who disassociate themselves?
Because the shunned one can open the eyes of the Jobots. This in turn will mean less money, assets and power for the Governing Body(tm) (Pees be upon them)..
It's a draconian business practice that they pretend comes from the Bible.
witnesses never watch r movies.
but they understand references to wood chippers and banjo music.. other than that the rating system is not worldwide .
Yeah, they do. They just keep schtumn about it.
one of my jw family member had a big get together.
he invited a lot of his jw friends.
there was teenage kids, couples, singles.
Oooh, I'm not sure about all this.
From what I see here in the UK, they're still an authoritarian bunch of robot Jobots.
the watchtower—study edition | march 2020. study article 13. love one another intensely.
if we have intense “love for the whole association of brothers,” we will avoid being partial.
7 jesus urged us to keep treating others the way we want to be treated.
Jesus urged us to keep treating others the way we want to be treated. He added that we should not limit our love only to those who show love in return.
Well, that's 'disfellowshipping(tm)' out of the window then!
Of course, whilst the Governing Body(tm) (P1ss be upon them), are getting money by not allowing Jobots to talk to 'mentally diseased apostates(tm)' who can show them that it's all a scam, then the beatings will continue.
if you think it works, what is your evidence outside of possible coincidence?.
jj - Prayer is nothing more than a confessed sinner, asking God to bend the rules of the universe for his own benefit.
That's quite genius.
I find the lack of believers commenting quite telling. I don't mean that in an aggressive way. It just makes me think that if they were to consider it that it might destroy their faith. I don't really want anyone to be wounded.
The truth is out there!
