when it comes to a simple matter of no longer believing the teachings of jw's, it appears to me that it's more common for the husband to make the first move to leave the religion.
I don’t know which one leaves first but I have noticed it is much easier for a women to leave, especially if you are a convert or a second generation convert. No one cares about you if you don’t come from a prominent JW family. No public talks, no MS , no eldership. There was a lady in my cong that even skipped the memorial and no one cared.
I think men usually wake you first because they are more exposed to the uginess of it. Too most women it is just a social club.
hello, i asked a new but old friend how many people are still christians after leaving the watchtower's mind control agency, for statistical purposes do you mind if i do a survey and see how many of you are believers?.
please don't post if your not a believer out of respect for this poll, we need to sharpen each other's sword and help build each other up and meet new friends over the internet with faith in god or some other force of the universe.
i asked another person how we can still manage our faith after getting burned by the high group mind control, he had a few ideas but he's not really involved with god because of how life burned him.
The greater point is in a relative short period of time or blink of a second in evolutionary terms, wherever it be 6000,10000 or 40000, this creature called the homo sapien has somehow separated himself from the other creatures of the planet with a certain consciousness and cognitive ability that no other creature seems to have.
The idea that something pointless and random just happened to our brains is just another form of deism.

The majority of archaeologists agree that the cradle of civilization is Mesopotamia Iraq roughly 6000-10000 years ago.
Sorry, this isn't a religious thing. Just a textbook thing. Quit watching Ancient Aliens.

Perfect example of how the WTS never really leaves you. You quoted me out of context.
LoL
The point I was trying to make is there is a big difference between the consciousnesses of man and the origin of the species.

I find anti-Christian literature exactly the same as Watchtower literature. It is twisted and complicated with no real consistently in its teachings and often is boastful and arrogant. It often comes down to a certain type of theism where I don’t really understand what I believe but it is anti-Christian so it must be true. Richard Dawkins born into another life would most likely be the most uber Elder or even a C.O.
The way I look at is the bible doesn’t say the earth is 6000 years old. The 6000 years comes from the genealogy of Jesus Christ in the new testament dating back to Adam. The interesting part about the number 6000 is it the time most scientists agree that civilization began in Iraq. Adam and Eve could just be a parable about the consciousness of man. Who knows?
Instead of worrying about the first 4.6 billion years , I think we might want to wonder about the last 6000 instead.
what a spirited, brilliant speech isreali pm mr. nethanyahu delivered yesterday to the congress against the negotiated nuclear deal with iran which israel fears would make iran a legitimate nuclear power with the ability to wipe out israel.
(http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/mar/03/netanyuahu-congress-iran-nuclear-deal-path-to-bomb).
he also said: if no one supports, israel would defend itself alone.
Any talk of doomsday, Israel, Armageddon etc. must just piss the WTS off.
“ But all about us remember us, the end times. We are Israel. Everyone will turn us “.
I just hope when the average JW watches the news they realize they are just annoying weirdos that knock on your door Saturday morning. The world will end in the Middle East and Israel is actually the Jewish nation just seems like so much like a more plausible explanation if you into that kind of thing.
i have heard that the wt is putting together a clandestine preaching blitz for israel, thought i saw someone comment on it here too.. has anyone heard anything?
.
JW subscript to something called “ replacement theology “ where they believe they either the organization or magical men in Brooklyn have replaced the physical nation of Israel. Not really sure what they believe now, it changes so much.
The problem is a lot of new light seems to be falling in line with the evangelical view where the troubles for Jehovah people first start in the middle east. One major problem , there are basically no JWs in the middle east so………………………….. Lazy assholes, at least make up your own theology, don’t just steal someone else. I know there are people in Brooklyn whose job it is to just watch Christian channel all day and find ideas to steal.

what is your favorite music video?
after shes my cherry pie, i like foo fighters learn to fly
Buddy Holly -Weezer
Gun and Roses- ( all of them). Back in the day I think there was more money spent on a GnR video than some movies. Totally over the top productions.
i met a coworker at my work who was even more commited to his religion then almost anybody i had seen in the jw mids yet.
whenever we went for lunch, he would do a little prayer first, he didnt care if anybody would take notice of him.
he does not curse, never!
I just love how the WTS thinks it has some kind of monopoly on evangelism and clean living. Today there are more Baptists in China or Seventh Day Adventist in India than the United States. I wonder how that happened.
All the WTS really has is drones passing out magazines they don't understand to people who don't want them so their family won't stop talking to them.
although the organization condemns the un as a satanic organization that will turn on jws and try to destroy them, they're not above using the evil satanic image of the wild beast for personal gain.. link to article on jw.borg here: http://www.jw.org/en/news/legal/by-region/south-korea/human-rights-violations-conscientious-objectors/.
pasting text below in case you don't want to click through:.
south korea guilty of arbitrary detention of conscientious objectors.
If you look at the quality of life and freedom between South and North Korea, I have always found they WTS stance on South Korea extremely hypocritical. If there ever was a case for an armed population it would be the nation of South Korea.
Cowardly parasites. They should be sent to the gulags of the North.
