  • I don’t know a ton about the religion. I always kinda rejected it when we were forced to go. From my understanding without doing any research right now… Basically it’s their version of the rapture. 150k or so of their “chosen” disciples will get into heaven and the rest are said to have heaven on earth. Which the “worldly” people (as my grandmother referred to them, people outside of Jdub’s) would be wiped off the planet. So not far from other crazy Christian fantasies, just with the added flair of shunning your own family members if they leave the organization.


  • hahaha so accurate. I was born without fingers and grew up as a Jehovah’s Witness. They’d tell me I’d have fingers once the “new system” comes along with all this other made up garbage. Parent’s divorced around age 13, mom got dis-fellowshipped and shunned. Once I was old enough to take Earth Science and learn about the universe and age of everything. Something finally clicked like, “oh they’re all full of shit.”

    Never looked back. I guess the unfortunate side effect is, I don’t believe in anything at all anymore.
