please tell me how not to think too much and get a good night sleep.
when i was a jw i didn't think too much because i knew everything, but now my mind works overtime.
how in the hell can i shut it down and stop the anxiety???
Too much thinking is the cause of Unhappiness. Certain things get resolved with time. Hence take it one at a time. When going to sleep, leave everything for tomorrow, after you wake up.
After all, waking up the next day is not guaranteed (for anyone) then why worry tonight.
they seem to think that all they will do is enjoy a carefree life with little or no concerns problems or worries whereas nothing could be further from the truth... according to the bible.. without trying to speculate on these concerns or problems during this one thousand year reign of christ jesus ,lets hear what the bible has to say about the end of his thousand year reign.. rev.20:7-10 satan is to be let out of his prison {as if he hasn`t done enough damage in 6000 years of roaming about in the earth at the same time fraternizing with jesus and jehovah in heaven} i digress.. and the reason he is let out of prison ,lo and behold ,is to mislead those nations in the four corners of the earth gog and magog to gather them together for the war.
{ here we go again ,armageddon didn`t solve anything we have to go through another one.
} 1000 years later.. now get this it`s not just some isolated little skirmish with a few hundred or even a few thousand dissenters ,as the bible states they number the sands of the seashore and they advanced over the breadth of the earth and encircled the camp {not a nation but a camp} of the holy ones.and the beloved city.. with that description it would seem the holy ones are in the minority and the opposes apparently were spread over all the earth.. so that description of the bible to me about jc 1000 rule does not appear to be one of living in a paradise , that is not on the agenda until after jesus christ 1000 year reign and only if you are lucky enough to survive another test/war of your loyalty after all you have gone through previously.. i wonder if this realization is one of the reasons why so many now are claiming to be of the anointed because as one of the other sheep you have to pass another test after the 1000 years of christ jesus rule whereas of one of the anointed on death now you go straight to heaven ..
Rev 20: 7 When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison
What is the Bond amount ? If not, has Satan completed his term in prison ? Just Curious

I don't think its worthwhile to analyze these statistics seriously.
After all religions grow, stagnate and die. Its all a matter of time.
All Christendom sects grow tremendously in developing countries. Likewise Islam ,Hinduism,Buddhism and other new religions.
Growth is not an authenticating factor for religions.
i was just thinking at how quickly the process was from pimi - pimo - pomo.
i must of spent about 10 years trudging along in the organization very unhappily.
but from the initial stages of learning ttatt to physically walking out the door the process took about 18 months.
The spark for me started off when a JW friend of mine tipped me about the Wrong dates of 607 BC. Satanic flood gates opened when I did my own research on the Internet.
When I read about the UNO connection, 100% realized how I had been fooled. Stopped attending meeting by then.
Totally it took about 4 months to realize that I was in a CULT. Disassociated a year later.

What about the rest ?? Why is Jah afraid to get reports about his most important work in these lands , if at all the preaching work is done.
as non of you scrooges seem to want to wish anyone else merry christmas , l thought that l would drop in and wish you all .
merry christmas , happy holidays , feliz navidad , joyeux noel , and throw another shrimp on the barbie sheila .
why did the turkey want to join the band , because he had the drumsticks , boom boom .
Was Scared to death when somebody wished me Merry Christmas when I was a JW, because I may have to reciprocate by fumbling with some irrelevant words.
Came to senses now and wishing Everyone a Merry Christmas and New Year.
i googled it and pretty much my understanding is the same as what i imagine.
no one really knows, your guess is as good as the next.
interesting thought to consider imo..
Well, Jesus would have been murdered by any other barbarous manner, which might have appeased Jehovah.
After leaving the JW cult, I did search for any truth I may be missing and found that:
what do you sincerely think?
do you nurture any hope?.
I was raised up as a Protestant. Had muddled up thinking's about heaven and hell and eternal life.
Became a JW and was in for 11 years. Things seemed to get clarified but I always had doubts about God, heaven, eternal life and so on....
Quit JW. Researched a lot about Bible and other religions and found everything to be Bunk.
Evolution is the only thing that makes sense to me now. Living things are born and they die.
Closely watching nature would nail the fact that once a creature dies, that is the end of it, for it. Gone for eternity.
it's almost 2018, almost 100 years since 'judge' rutherford confidently prophesied that 'millions now living will never die!'..
so how many of those millions are left?
well, since it was 100 years ago, all we need to do is find out how many people of age 100 and above are currently living.
Rutherford was talking about the heavenly creatures. Wont be surprised if WT spins it like this.
