Religious PTSD

by Warren Wilson in

i have been clear now for 22 years but i am still obsessed.

after going on and on about my experiences to friends and family i have finally realised that no one is interested.. they have won.

no one cares about my ptsd or my suicide attempts or my alcohosm.. i have no one to talk to about this but i really need to get the infection out of my system because it is killing me..

Old Navy

You've said it well: clinging to the bad experiences is a killer.

Sadly, learning how to "let go" seems contrary to our intuition and we tell ourselves that it just can't be done. We tell ourselves that the resentments and the hatreds are just too damn deep.

We don't listen to the only ones who really care because they tell us to simply "let it go!" What do they know anyway?

But the solution, the freedom, the restoration of sanity is truly that simple: Let It Go. When you let it go their power over your life ends.

Funny News From My Old Congragation - Elder Fight!

by pale.emperor in

i haven't stopped laughing since i heard this.

a pimo in my last congregation told me that an elder has been removed from his elder position.

apparently he grabbed another elder by the throat, put him up against a wall in the back room and punched him in on the nose... during an elders meeting on thursday evening after the meeting.. the congregation were running round like headless chickens wondering what to do?

Quote from Now What?:

C'mon! every week p.e. has a new story to tell. It's a continuous soap opera of his family and old congregation that never ends.

And a most edifying "soap opera" it is too!! Revealing the sort of Truths about The Cult that all should be made aware of. P.E. is proving to be a Real Truth Warrior!

Mea culpa..

just a few hours ago i took my wife (uber) to the hall with eats she had prepared as the cong are doing some work there.

i had not set foot onto the kh property in years and my stomach went into a knot as i did.

well what happened?

Old Navy

Zeb,

It's difficult and at times seems to be an impossibility; but, it is poison and you must somehow let it go.

They were/are deceived and they knew/know not what they do.

In due time accountability will come due. True, not nearly as speedily as we'd like it, but it shall.

With letting it go comes peace and pity for those who've done you wrong.

God is great, beer is good and people are crazy.

Is Satan Real ?

by jdash in

i've been pondering on this question for awhile now, and i'm starting to think this malevolent spirit creature isn't real.

.

do you guys believe satan is real?

Old Navy

Those who worship Satan tell us that he is indeed real. Some have revealed that he will manifest in certain rituals and ceremonies and that he is very tall and incredibly beautiful. Satan has the power to produce feelings of extreme ecstasy and a complete sensation of deep love and happiness in the hearts and minds of his worshipers.

The Word tells us that Satan is not "all bad all the time." In fact, Satan spends most of his time acting as an angel of light who appears to do good deeds. The Word also tells us that he is loved as much as all of the sentient creation, in spite of numerous flaws, and he too will be healed and made whole. Look at the example of Saul of Tarsus as an indication of how "all things are possible."

We all seem to have a bit of Satan in us.

against a background of continued usa leaks threatening a 'surgical strike' on the dprk (north korea), a move that does not have complete support in the south, the north invoked 'charm' as it's next 'weapon.

here's how the republic of korea's (south korea), government owned news agency (arirang news) saw the north's charm offensive:.

Quotes from _Morpheus:

I dislike communism.
I dislike people lying and covering up the evil that is communism with bullshit propaganda

Communism and its growth worldwide is a fascinating study. As is the study of the U.S. of America and how it has been gradually trance-formed into a replica of Soviet Bolshevik Communism. All of those things we dislike about Communism have now become the status quo in the U.S. and certain other nations of The West. The Planks of the Communist Manifesto are well established.

The People are truly screwed.

Korea is a beautiful, enchanting place with an incredible people. Very sadly, South Korea is naught more than a Puppet of Washington. If there is ever to be peace, unification and prosperity in the Whole of Korea the puppet-strings must be broken and the Korean People must take their destiny into their own hands. The West has little interest in the welfare of The Korean People.

John the Baptist has no heavenly hope?

by Ireneus in

jws teach that john the baptist would not inherit kingdom of heaven.

however, there are problems with this teaching.. john’s mother elizabeth was both barren and too old to conceive.

(luke 1:7) birth of john was an act of “holy spirit.” (luke 1:15) then we find jesus saying: “among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than john the baptist; yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven [“kingdom of god,” luke 7:28] is greater than he.” (mathew 11:11; luke 7:28).

Old Navy

John the Baptist has great significance as does the Lamb of God (Son of Man) and all who followed him as he showed The Way. The Son of Man was the first of the "anointed ones" as his Apostles were themselves the first who followed Him. Those who return to Heaven must first come from Heaven.

Some of the many Angels who sinned have repented. What must they do to prove themselves worthy of re-integration into the fold? Saul, who became Paul, also adds meaning to the process. The Story is truly an amazing one. The Word provides clues (hidden gems) which enable us to comprehend.

What Do You Think of The News Media?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i used to pretty much believe anything they would report.

now, though, i find myself questioning “journalists “, with the realization that much of what is said may be inaccurate or slanted..

Old Navy

The Main Stream Media in the U.S. is the Controlled Propaganda Arm of the U.S. Government Inc. The U.S. Government Inc. is a High Control Cult with many similarities to the WTBorg Cult Inc. In our present World cults are everywhere. Power and Control is the name of the game.

Dutch

why i am proud to be dutch: today the state secretary of foreign affairs had to resign because of lying about russia.. we don't accept openly liars.. g..

Old Navy

The Dutch Foreign Secretary may have lied about Putin and Russia for political expediency and to get on the American Driven Russo-phobic Bandwagon, but when things went sour he had the dignity to resign. Now, if the American politicians who are telling similar lies would follow his example, we'd have a gaping hole in our political structure. It would, however, be a good gaping hole. It ain't gonna happen though.

In the U.S. the politicians have lied about virtually everything for far too long. The American People are literally brain-dead or mush-for-brains after decades of the "same old same old." The U.S. of today exists upon a foundation of Lies and Wars.

The book burning has started

by pale.emperor in

don't know if this is a global thing but i've just been told by a pimo member of my old congregation that a min servant has been given the task of destroying all old books/literature in the kh library prior to 1992.. could be the elders (or even one of them) on a mission to stamp out dissent as my ex-wife used the same reasoning to her elder dad that i used in my jc: rutherfords books containing failed predictions.. anyone else heared anything?.

the ms who's been given the task is a company man.

no hope of him keeping them or selling them on ebay.. they have some russell books in that library too.

Old Navy

One can only wonder to what lengths the WTBorg Cult Inc. will go to distance itself from its false past. Could this move indicate that a re-vamping of The Cult may be in the works? Putting on a new set of clothes to appear to be something different?

Not that it will make any difference of course...
