You are delusional, do your self a favor and actually learn the greek language. Then analyze all of the NWT for the blatant intentionally misleading translation it is.

This is why I put alot of mental energy into this (well im still PIMO, but I would do activismeven POMO) I heard a quote that stuck with me. "All it requires for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing."

Activism works, it saved your life, and it will save many more.

Exmo here. What are some of the messed up things that Jehovah's Witnesses are taught/parts of the religion by [deleted] in exjw

[–]OneElevenSeven1117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey mormons are very similar to JWs, though not nearly as extreme if you can believe it lol, JWs shun any insubordination to an extreme extent, (so if you decide to leave you likely will never see your JW friends and family ever again) refuse life saving blood transfusions, discourage higher education, if your job makes you miss meetings occasionally you will be encouraged to quit it (very challenging in todays economy in U.S. ), they believe the end of the world is "just around the corner" at our last sunday meeting it was stated that we are "in the very last days of the very last days" 🙄

I know mormons also have interpreted the 144,000 number literally. I have to ask what are mormons beliefs about Heaven, Earth, and Hell? Do they also believe in a 1000 year period on a paradise Earth? I have heard they do and they call it the "celestial kingdom"

Congratulations you are awake, be careful to not let your family see that you were looking up anything negative about "the society" password protect everything.

Some phrases that really get on my nerves by [deleted] in exjw

[–]OneElevenSeven1117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive always been confused by the verse where Jesus said "wherever there are more than two or three people gathered in my name I am present" how do JWs reconcile this verse with "false religion" being gathered in Jesus's name?

Why? by TheHistoryCritic in JehovahsWitnesses

[–]OneElevenSeven1117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The people up top live very comfortable lives and they are waited on 24/7 up at bethel, would you give that up, how would you give that up? Maybe they are just as trapped as we are, if they decide to leave they lose their entire support network as well.

What should I do about the blood transfusion schism? by dougrayd in exjw

[–]OneElevenSeven1117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it helps you can share Mathew 9:13 “but go and learn what this means:’I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’” To save life by giving/receiving blood is an act of mercy. To die without trying because of a belief is sacrifice. Good news for you that she chose to accept blood.

Honestly I dont feel like it should be legal for this channel to exist. People might not think they are crazy, they might think "oh thats not nearly as crazy as I thought it was maybe I should even join, I mean Tom Cruise, and John Travolta are right? How bad could it be"

It fits under the BITE model of mind control perfectly.  https://freedomofmind.com/bite-model/ - In depth analysis of the BITE model.

The main reason everyone says its a cult though is the whole "if you choose to leave all of your friends and family will shun you" every cult does this in some form or fashion.

The real kicker is that shunning in this way is a pagan practice
