You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Oh so your an apostate as well SMH
I grew up with the right family to speak the truth. Unfortunately, most get blurred from the worlds darkness:(
Most of my family converted on over to J.W. after being blind for so long. I am a believer 100% but am not doing right by my 0r our creator sad to say BUT @least I know the truth which helps me cope with this false system we currently live in.
I do hope you come back to your senses ;)
EDIT:
I'm so sick of ppl saying cult, come on! Get real! If J.W.s are a cult then every business out now is a cult. Ppl who are die hard sport fans are a cult. Cult is just a group of ppl believing in the same thing. @steemit is a cult. You choose what cult(s) you would like be involved in. I am done. No more words from me. Waist of time and again, I hope you get your head straight.
Ppl who talk crap about J.W.'s sound ignorant cuz nothing is ever TRUE. ppl just get sick in tired of doing the work is all!
Pls keep religious beliefs away from Steemit unless you have something good to say. Take care!
Would you read some thing with an open mind and read it without prejudice? http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/18/us/28-million-awarded-in-jehovahs-witnesses-abuse-case.html
I've heard it all mane! I'm burnt out with false info. I already know the real. I will read for your sake in explaining to you WHY it is false. But I won't reply right away as I am busy elsewhere@the moment.
I'm watching tuts and reading @the moment. I'll def get back in touch ;)
lol ok enjoy your down time.. I was in the same boat as yourself remember that my friend.. I was raised into it from birth and spent 25 years in it... i went through all the apostasy marches outside the Assembly back in the 80's.. i remember the born again christians waiting outside the hall every sunday as we left for the field service.. so yes, i have been on your side of the fence and i've also reacted in the same way... i've was guilty of shunning my cousins because i was told they were worldly association... i also remember how we were told not to have an education or strive for a high paid job as Armageddon is just around the corner... After i left i felt so alone with feelings of guilt and fear that i was a goner on the big day... then the beautiful thing called the internet and education came along... My fears and guilt soon subsided when i delved into the real workings of JW's... not from apostate sites but from real sites with real people.. you are told not to listen to anyone talking ill against the org... the information laid out from a non biased view point clearly marks the Jw's to be categorically wrong in their teachings.. When i read the information it was like someone turned a light switch on.. im not here ranting on trying to have a go at you, i'm a very passive guy with a great sense of humor . Everything i write or say is not intended to dis-sway you from your faith but what i'm trying to do is maybe, just maybe make you think for yourself.. you have your own mind and from what you said previously i have the feeling you are on the fence a little.... you believe in what they say is 100% true.. but what if you found out not all of what your're told is correct? ;-)
If you really want to dig deeper than what you were told, pleas please please look up and read all about the Sumerian texts. The bible ia a virtual blue print of the tablets yet the tablets were wrote a thousand years before the bible.. If talking religion scares you or makes you nervous my friend try researching where the bible came from....
How about asking if I already have!? Ppl nowadays more than ever NEVER ask IF but instead assume. Like I stated earlier, I've been thru it ALL, I heard it ALL and yet, I'm a firm believer ;)
Me calling you an apostate was me just joking by the way ha
Again, I will have a read later on so that I can put you in check by not having to EVER come here again with these ridiculous topics ;)
lol no offense taken.. im new on this and am trying to speculate my lite coin that's all... my topics posted were not meant for jw eyes as i thought you guys shouldn't be on social media sites (said with tongue in cheek ;-) ).. so what topic can i think of that will generate some likes and a few cent along the way.? 2 guesses lol religion and history... if you came across it and it offended you in anyway i apologize :-)
See again, you thought we shouldn't be on social sites, ok!!!!! We 0r they strive not to get involved with things our creator disapproves of. You have to know how to filter out the bad in order to use for the good ye dig!
They strive to teach their youth to not fall in the trap of all this filth going on especially online such as dating sites & what not. I'm not even dedicated and I choose not to do certain things based off our creators wants & needs. I NEVER joined dating sites and or order hookers and such ha
I do other things I shouldn't I know, but@least I'm aware of what's going on with the traps ;)
And no, I haven't yet checked the article you linked. I will 2mrw. Waist of my time right now. I can't believe you have me writing this SMh
Education and learning new things expands your consciousness .. If you think its a wast of time or you don't want to have information in your head that makes you think well i feel genuinely sorry for u... You have been conditioned through constant brain washing tactics my friend... maybe one day you will sit down and actually does some proper research on the bible and are true origins...
Here you go again! Don't write me no more please because you obviously are not listening to me. I'VE BEEN THROUGH IT ALL my fellow human! I'VE HEARD IT ALL! Same crap ppl like yourself say OVER & OVER AND OVER!
I feel sorry for you because if you had 0r will do your thoro research, you would have come to truth but instead you come to a false state of mind, wanting to break free from feeling bound to rules you simply wish not to follow, which is ok if that's what you choose.
I was brought up to choose for myself, not to believe because of what I was told and so, from there I've been on it! I know the TRUTH!
I debated the greatest debaters out there(world)!
Ppl come up with the craziest things to say when it comes to J.w'S HA!
Told you not to write until I gave a reply back from having read your link BUT you just couldn't wait to talk more crap before me doing so. I've been busy lately with running multiple business. Give me time please, thank you....
And why do you label me an apostate? Because you are "trained" to do such things... I have a beautiful family and a fantastic life. but that was only possible after i left... Does that make me mentally diseased? There is a fantastic world out there with fantastic people... All i suffered while i grew up in it was repression and fear.. When i left i had no idea how to live and survive in "the world".. sure, i made a few mistakes along the way but tbh i've never once looked back despite the emotional blackmailing from my closest family.. The facade of witnessing door to door teaching false misprinted versions of the bible and not to mention the failure to point out to potential witnesses, that once they are in and they bring their family along on the ride that they could loose family members if they decide to leave somewhere down the line. Imagine if on a bible study they actually told the family involved that they would have to label one of their own family member "mentally diseased" if one of them left... hmm makes you wonder about that word called "cult"... please do your research on the witnesses or simply look at some of the testimonies of ex members.. Not all that leave are instantly thrown into a life of misery like the society tells you.. Not all that leave are bitter individuals and they go on with their lives without disturbance to any Jw's.. the reason? Those individuals actually feel sorry for yourselves.. they left many people they grew up with and loved but when that person decided to leave they are cast a side and labeled a diseased person.. Is that fair really to make a person feel so small? A haughty attitude is frowned upon i thought.. peace :-)
And it's not even like that! You don't want to associate yourself with killers IF your not one, right?
0k, same difference! Family 0r not and we are all family to be technical anyway ha!
PPl always say this afterwards after hearing of the rules(creators). They complain "IS THIS FAIR"! Yes its fair! LIFE itself isn't fair when bad things arise, correct?
0k!
There is one NIKE and the rest are simply imitations. Same with religion, creator - 0ne true belief and either you find it 0r you don't! but don't come here talkn crap cuz you don't fully understand.
The bible can be very symbolic thus creating the wrong idea(s) into those who are reading alone 0r simply not understanding....
Hi tradz.. I take your comments on board as regard the viewpoints of others on here... I'm 47 and i left it like i said when i was 25 but thanks for saying i sound young lol... i left due to the hypocrisy tbh.... i fully do understand things my friend. I know all the literature and whats about to be released months before yourselves do in fact.. and i also know what theme and programmes of upcoming conventions.. i never took my finger off the pulse but that doesn't make me a bad person or a person with any bad intent or malice.. what i do do though is simply warn people of the perils in following a false organization thats all. I once led a double life and often said to myself the same thing as you do... i won't leave our conversation with a bad taste in anyone's mouths, but all i will say is, i wish you all the best in your life and hope you find happiness in what you do... peace brother :-)
Correction, I said "sound young" and young you are! YOu see, we are babies when starting to learn something new and as we grow in knowledge, so do we grow in understanding.
2nd, I've already found happiness in learning of Jehovah's ways, my son, my music, crypto - I've been rich since my inception ;)
Due keep in mind that even J.W.'s have spies and ppl trying to purposely spread false information. Keep your ears and eyes OPEN
Take care and I will report back 2mrw so, save your replies till then ;)
You sound young indeed lol
That is the problem right there, exactly what I am talking about! Nowadays the new religion is "no religion" SMH
This is the reason why Ja-rule left it behind along with other knuckle heads who feel like they are missing out on life.
Let's take an example of this platform/investment - The ppl who hold will benefit the greatest right, while those who turn their cheek will suffer greatly when the time comes that every horder of STEEM and whatever else coin/investment for that matter, hits a level that makes us very wealthy.
0k!
Same situation with this topic - the whole point is to endure till the end shunning out bad behavior, following the commands that the creator has given us. Either your a believer 0r your not! Moments you are enjoying can still be accomplished while doing the right thing?
It's not for everyone best believe! It's for me but I CHOOSE to do bad in the meantime till I get my head back on straight. Don't come here putting J.W.'s down becasue Y0U couldn't hang 0r do not fully understand yet. I'm not for any other belief yet, do you see me talking crap here @steemit about their beliefs, no!
There is a time and place for everything my fellow human! This will indeed be the last convo here@stemmit about this cuz it's pointless to a certain degree as this can motivate others to research more in-depth.
Later
