  Faced with the reality of mortality

  by stuckinarut2 in

  how have you all coped with facing the reality of our mortality?.

  most of us were raised to firmly believe we would never get old or die... so here we are now having to face the reality that are getting older... we are going to die.. sometimes it really pisses me off that we were never helped to comprehend this most basic of facts.

  we were given a utopian dream as a "fact", and hence never taught how to face our inevitable futures.... thoughts?.

  The Extremes of The Watchtower Bible and Tract Scoiety

  by The_Seeker in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have been reading through the posts over the last few days and something occurred to me, an epiphany, if you will.

  people don't leave the jw's, especially those raised in the religion, simply because it is easier for them to continue to believe a lie even when faced with the truth.

  the ability to think critically is something that most jws lack, we all know this to be true, but i truly believe many of them are simply too lazy to try anything different.

  Learning To Believe Again

  by The_Seeker in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was raised a jw and left the organization when i was 18 years old.

  many thought i left because i wanted to live a life full of drugs, sex, and rock and roll, which was not true at all.

  i left because i realized that these people had no idea what they were talking about and were simply parroting what the, " society " , told them to believe.

  Why "fancy dress" and "theme weddings" were BANNED by our Congregation!

  our kingdom hall was in a boring town of 30,000 people so to spice things up me and some special pioneers living with us decided to have a fancy dress up party!

  what could go wrong?

  nice clean fun, and no booze (oh crap!).

  fyijustice authorizes blood transfusion in jehovah's witness patient in es.

  painel politico, friday, september 15, 2017 (via google translate).

  religion does not allow the faithful to undergo the procedure, even in cases of emergency; the judge argues that the right to life overrides this.
