  The "Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints" (Mormons ) is just another religion "Made in America" like so many other religions that have sprung up in that country.

  And they are all money gold mines for those who run those organizations, and no "GOD" has anything to do with any of them.

  Those of us who joined them were all gullible when we did and those who were born into those religions and who stay are to be the most pitied.

  Were JWs Right That There Would Be A Time When Governments Would Go After All Religion?

  by minimus in

  they have predicted this for years.

  religions of the world would become attacked by the governments.

  the only difference is when they go after jehovah’s witnesses, then jehovah god will step in and destroy the governments..

  It`s not going to happen in my time or my children`s time or my grandchildren`s time or anytime thereafter .

  And no the JW religion have never been right with one exception when they quoted a communist Karl Marx who said "Religion is the Opium of the people "

  UPDATE: Wife Pretty Much Knows That I Don't Believe

  we had a nice long talk and i brought up some things that make me think that this isn't the "truth" and she somewhat agreed with me.

  i stuck with things i personally experienced or had knowledge of plus all the changes in recent years.

  she agreed on a lot of the points but still believes in god and the bible.

  We are adjusting, right now we have zero social life or any clue how we would go about getting one.

  Just follow your interests ,maybe some you had years ago but were stifled by negative comments from WT/JW. Join a local club ,or even volunteer at some charity ,sooner or later you will meet people who you can relate, to and friendships develop over time .Just don`t expect it to happen overnight.

  If you need any more details just pm me.I can go into more details.

  To gain friends you need to be a friend,and you will find you will have a lot of acquaintances as you progress.

  I always thought the memorial should have stopped at Jesus invisible presence in 1914 but what do I know ?

  Jesus's coming to be at the great tribulation....? Can anyone verify this ? and not in 1914 ?

  waton ,can you verify this ?

  Very interesting if correct .

  I can see a mass exodus from the religion if this proves to be the case
  

  Or an I reading into this more than I should ?
