I'm gonna go with (a) there will be no Armageddon, and (b) if there truly is a loving god, he/she would never punish a victim.
As Flipper sez, Peace out.

Will JW rape victims die at Armageddon as apostates?
by Zoos inmany jw victims flee the "truth" after elders have raped them and covered it up.
doctrines aside, there would be no reason for one of these young victims to conclude the watchtower environment is god's arrangement on earth.. does the organization acknowledge this irreparable damage or will it write these victims off as apostates, slated for death at armageddon if they choose to get the hell out?.

by The Searcher inaccording to the letter (link below) out of 705 kingdom halls in spain, 295 are being disposed of.. if someone can translate german/spanish, it would throw some light on the specifics.. http://www.bruderinfo-aktuell.de/index.php/brief-zum-koenigreichssaalbauprogramm-in-spanien/#more-948.

JWFacts is right, of course. Rented halls were just a cash drain, so let's build brand new halls which the WTS owns (thanks to all the volunteered labor). The real estate portfolio of the bOrg keeps on increasing, while the pockets of the bOrgians keep on getting emptied.
Ought to be a law against it...

University Application Personal Statement dilemma - Should I mention my jw past?
by will-be-apostate ini am applying to chemical engineering course in the uk through ucas (a lot of things changed since i've posted last time).. i have a lot of skills i developed while regular pioneering, like public speaking skills, ability to reason (even if it's bs), presentational skills etc.. i feel it would boost my personal statement a lot, but i'm also afraid they would say "this guy beleives in god, and loves science, he must be creationist.
away with him".. how could i mention that i gave interviews front of thousands of people and did voluntary work in my hometown without giving a bad impression?.
i don't want to go into details and start explaining myself that "however i don't beleive in god", or something like that.

I already had my degree, and decades of solid work experience, but in my resume I listed 20 years of public speaking experience, volunteer work in the community, etc. Never, ever mentioned that it was church-related as that will awaken any bias someone may hold.
Just put your skills in general "volunteering" terms...I was never questioned and sailed through every job interview after leaving the cult, receiving job offers without having to fight for them.

Remember that we all know the WTS uses LABELS to push people apart and prevent rational thought.
Having this history may explain why various posters take sides and label each other as if there is only ONE RIGHT SIDE to everything.
Can we please learn from our history and stop insinuating that someone with whom you happen to disagree is wrong, stupid, or paranoid?
Allowing others to have freedom of speech even when you disagree helps us all to gain perspective and knowledge.
Just sayin...

"Witness To A Load Of Elitist Nonsense"
by smiddy inan article that appears in todays heraldsun newspaper 11/10/14 by tom elliott , heraldsun.com.au .....(.victoria australia).
breifly it is about a response to an article he wrote a couple of weeks ago as a pro-atheist and the respnses he received from religous people .
he also has a spot as host on radio 3aw in melbourne .. he then talks about the up coming convention at etihad stadium of jehovahs witnesses and some of their weird beleifs.. he then talks about a 21 year old girl who defends the shunning process on his talk back radio program which he didnt appreciate.. overall an interesting article if you can read it wherever you are .. i sent him an e-mail in relation to his article , if you read it you might like to do so as well.

So I'm going through a really difficult time right now.
by scaredtospeak ini was publicly reproved last year and the elders have taken their sweet time in reinstating my "privileges".
it's been six months and i can't answer at the meetings or participate in the theocratic ministry school.
in all honesty- i don't care about the privileges.

Scared...you will always find caring friends here, so I'm happy you found this site. I have daughters a bit older than you so I empathize with your situation.
Most importantly, remember that you are a wonderfully unique being who has a right to bloom in this world. This "religion" of your mother has nothing to do with your personality or your purpose. Try to take a step back and realize that your mom has been misled into thinking her way is the right way. Allow her to have her beliefs while realizing that they really have nothing to do with you. Hard as it may be, try to have compassion for her delusions as that's her reality right now.
As for you...learn to love yourself and remember that you are a precious person in your own right. Find strength as you walk down the paths you will discover as you find your future.
Many hugs for you!
