  Invisible Rulership - one of the dumbest things I ever believed in

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  having now been out of the cult for a few years, it really shocks me about some of the nonsense i used to believe in.

  like for instance, christ ruling in the midst of his enemies, but doing so invisibly.. let's let that one sink in for a minute.

  you've supposedly got a king who is ruling for a kingdom, but it is an invisible rule.

  Yes, so very strange. Michael the archangel standing and then standing up. Ugh. And it was all sooooo significant!

  All their stupid inane unsupportable teachings. How did we ever come to believe in it so fervently? Ugh.

  I had a very wise friend tell me that the religion must have given me something I needed.... And perhaps that is true, but they extracted a very large price.

  ...

  Other inanities:

  - that it is really better NOT to preach as people who don't hear "the truth" are said to be given a resurrection rather than the poor saps who refused a paltry magazine and now merit everlasting destruction.

  Just ugh.

  Their terminology is very weird and unsettling: they use the word "reactivate" about those who are inactive, and near the end of the video, Sanderson says how wonderful it will be for those ones to become "re-activated" ....

  Their coverage of the Phillipines hurricane disaster, sorry, I mean their coverage of themselves looking for a positive spin on the Phillipines hurricane disaster, was shockingly discompassionate toward those people who had lost everything. I couldn't believe how much time they spent and how much they spoke about THEMSELVES and the trial they had putting all their coverage together and trying to keep a positive theme.

  You could see some of the brothers and sisters and even those poor children looking so shell shocked and trying to smile and put on a brave face to the heartless & inhumane camera operators.

  Good to hear, jtg, I am glad this will be sent to the ARC! - thank you.

  I think others should send as well, to ensure it absolutely reaches them ? You know how the police or emergency recognizes a call as genuine when it begins receiving many reports and calls all at once...?

  dear mentally diseased apostates,.

  we are happy to report to you that we are tired of waiting around for jehovah to do his his whole "armageddon thing" and have instead taken steps to expedite the end ourselves.

  we are very confident as "guardians of the doctrine" that we can accomplish this by dismantling the wtbts and its subsidiaries which will, in turn, force god's hand and bring about the coming of jesus riding on a white horse out of the clouds with a sword - or skulls - or scales - err, whatever .

  Brilliant!!!!! Beautiful!!!

  I love the satire - you did this perfectly. At first, I thought it was going on a bit, but it only got better and your sharpness, wit and biting sarcasm are wonderful!!!

  You, sir (ma'am?), are clever and an awesome writer. :D

  You have an insightful and groovy way of using sarcasm and succinctness to capture reality. May I share this? And credit you as Coded Logic..? I absolutely love this.

  I was around 20 when I was converted, as you say. Was coming out of a terrible series of traumas and bad shit. I too was brought up in a religious home but did not like our church. Enter JWs.... so shiny and clean and happy. Or so I thought. I got snared very fast and had no idea it would take close to 30 years to get out. I came to believe it all totally.

  I heard that there were very few people at his graveside service, about 3-4, and they were his "yes-men", not even his wife and son attended.
