Who Will Be The Next Member Of The Governing Body To Defect From The Corporation?

by frankiespeakin in

while it may seem unlikely which of the currant governing body members do you feel would be most likely to defect?

i know it is a loaded question.. what about wealthy anthony morris iii?

or mark sanderson or geoffrey jackson?

Common guys this is the Pinky Ring club now. Even if one didn't agree he'd probably just suck it up and go with the flow.

Why give it all up? They're in a "club", they'll be getting apartment type houses at Tuxedo once it's completed. Things are a lot different in Ray Franz day. Who knows, maybe none of them agree on the doctrines but all agreed to keep appearances and enjoy what they have!

In Franz day people had more character. They actually cared about people and wanted to some what do the right thing. Today, it's all about money, inside and outside of the JW club.

Letter to a DF Parent

by thedepressedsoul in

thank you for raising me in this religion, this religion that when people get disfellowshipped you have to cut off all communication, even family.

thank you for making sure all of my friends, work partners, family and 99% of my life was centered around this organization.

thank you for taking the time to study with me, read the bible, making me excluded from all school activities and friends so that my whole social life was surrounded by jw.

Desirous, what's wrong did I hit a little too close to home? You sound like a person who can't admit when they're at fault. Big tough guy online. Probably a quite little shit in real life.

You need to get over your rage, you hold a big grudge against the WT and family who don't talk to you when you were the one who joined. Please allow me to provide you with a quote that may help you on your journey.

"Resolve today to forgive anyone who has ever hurt you in any way. Let it go. Refuse to discuss it again. Instead, get so busy working on something that is important to you that you don't have time to think about it again. "

This post had nothing to do with me, I wrote it for whinny people like who who get all hurt when people won't talk to them, to see the other side of the coin. Get over it!

You should be desirous for change.

Man if I took people to court as much as the WT does do you think I'd have any privileges in the congregation?

Tax exempt should be taken away from religions. There should be some things that are exempt but not everything!

I want to thank you. Thank you for raising me in this religion, this religion that when people get disfellowshipped you have to cut off all communication, even family. Thank you for making sure all of my friends, work partners, family and 99% of my life was centered around this organization.

Thank you for taking the time to study with me, read the bible, making me excluded from all school activities and friends so that my whole social life was surrounded by JW.

Last of all I want to thank you for getting disfellowshipped. Thank you for putting me in that situation and then trying to communicate with me, expecting for everything to be normal after you raised me in this god forsaken religion. You centered my whole life around this! You made me 100% involved with no outside contact and expect me to just throw it all away because you decided to get DF. You don’t even have the courtesy to at least get reinstated so that I can easily talk to you! You expect everything and every way that you raised me just to go out the window after I have made my whole life around this religion! You don’t understand, I can’t just walk away! I now have a JW wife, responsibilities, friends and family all with expectations!

You don’t understand that you put me in this situation and now YOU expect me to give it all up and have nothing just so I can talk to you! Thank you for raising me up this way, centering my whole life around this religion I don’t even believe in so you can just walk out and leave me holding the bag!

Do you realize the situation you put me in?

Thank you.

hey guys,.

so, something amazing happened recently.

i recently met with an old and very good friend of mine.

thedepressedsoul

I see what you're saying Desirous but he stated that he just wanted out and to not deal with them or try to get around anything. That's why I just suggested being who you are, stating what you believe and let them do what they want.

They are still lying, even though they revised the FAQ.

by DATA-DOG in

do jehovahs witnesses feel that they are the only people who will be saved?.

many millions who lived in centuries past and who werent jehovahs witnesses will have an opportunity for salvation.

the bible explains that in gods promised new world, there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.

thedepressedsoul

Yea I love seeing their FAQ completely ignore the question and try to get around it as much as possible. Almost all of their questions are true and yet they try to redefine wording.

It's funny too because all their FAQ is what people think of them. They're the only ones that don't feel that way.

Bible says money is the root of all evil and yet JW can't work with out it.

If the bible is real it is for small christian groups that do their best to live by it's standards how fits their conscience. None of this multimillionaire organization printing it's own materials telling you what is wrong and right.

If judgment day comes Jw and groups like them will be saying "look at the powerful works we preformed in your name" while the small humble christian groups are saved and people just trying to be good all around.

Let it begin....

about time..... "teachers, councillors and social workers in england and wales who fail to protect children could face up to five years in jail under new proposals.. the new measures, being unveiled by the prime minister, would see the crime of "wilful neglect" extended to cover children's social care and education.. there would also be unlimited fines for individuals and organisations shown to have let children down.".

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-31691061.

when they so cleverly predicted to us all that the world would turn against them, something that has not happened despite over a 100 years of taunting power and opposing religious figures, now it is likely to begin, they failed to mention that it would be due to rampant paedophilia in 'gods earthly organisation'.what a wholesome enviroment to grow up in and raise a child.. we have heard it said many times here that the jw's won't last as they are so entrenched in trends, so opposite to modern human progress, culture and society, they stand out as more extremist and inhumane by the year, mocked regularly in the media now.

thedepressedsoul

Who would have though, big A would be caused by JW touching kids!

For some reason when/if Jesus comes, I don't think he'll be fighting for JW. It's funny hearing all the JW say they're persecuted because of pedophilia. What happened to all those years of mocking the Catholics about how they weren't the true religion? Now that it's happening to them it proves they're the true religion?

These people are whacked!

My wife is frightened about the end/ What to say without sounding Apostate?

my wife called me at work saying she is scared after reading today's daily text.

i don't read it anymore, therefore i went online and found this.. tuesday, march 3 .

those days will be cut short.matt.

thedepressedsoul

See the funny thing about humans is when they look to the past they tend to remember the good and forget the bad and when they look to the future they think doom and gloom. I try to see the good in both.

There will always be world problems. & honestly if god exists and if he has a judgment day, it's not going to be in the JW favor so you're screwed either way.

Do what you know best and believe what you know to be best. If god has an issue you can ask where he was the whole time, make your peace and be happy about yourself as it ends =].
