Welcome!
I was just thinking of joining up on jwr , glad I didn't bother now!
hi everybody, i'm starrynight from jwr.
that's it... .
Welcome!
I was just thinking of joining up on jwr , glad I didn't bother now!
my initial pangs of unease and doubt led me to research some things.
well, a lot of things really.
i've never felt comfortable using the bible to try to calculate dates (1914).
Yes.
I wanted to die. I thought I'd let everybody down, my wife, my family, my god.
I wasn't 100% sure when I first started learning ttatt, I just didn't trust my own reasoning power enough. Even now, on occasion, my brain flips back into jdub mode and I wonder if I've been fooled by evil apostates! That's why I keep a file of all the stuff I'm learning, written in my own words and with wt quotes as well. It doesn't take much to realise how much they've obscured the truth from everyone.
We're here for you bro, take your time....
i didn't attend the meeting last night, but my in husband came home and was quite shocked because there was a letter announcing that there will be no wt-library cd-rom any more, and..... no more calendar.. he said there was a lot of talking and noise when that was announced.. i didn't expect the calender to go, by the way.
and my husband sounded really concerned, talking about how society is cutting down.
i love it when he says with a tone of surprise in his voice: 'you were right, now they want us to do everyting digital, and throw out the printed stuff.
Hang on, no CD ROM either? I must've missed that. Can you download that online, or are they making everyone use the "online research tool" which is so substandard compared to the CD-ROM .
Yep.
What everyone above said.
The good thing is that this can't be unreleased now. You can't unring bells like this. We can use this when jdubs try to water down the df'ing policy. They're doubling down on the one real control mechanism they have, hopefully because they're haemorrhaging members.
Bastards.
why murder 8 billion non-believers to just turn around and resurrect 20 billion other non-believers?
.
There MUST be a band called Armageddon Genocide.
Carry on.
feel free to drive on if this subject has been posted before.. the 'bible teach' book is usually always on the cult cart so i thought it could make for an an easy intro for some counter witnessing.. just pick one up and start reading chapter 1, if the dubs are following instructions they will approach you.
chapter 1 is all about how great it is to ask questions, par 3 then says -.
"yet, many people have given up trying to find the answers.
When you say it stinks like smelly hypocrisy, I'm almost offended, but I'll assume you're not referring to me.
Otherwise, great idea, it's a current publication, it's straight there in black and white from the gb's own lips, ASK QUESTIONS, DON'T LEAVE IT TO RELIGIOUS LEADERS.
It won't compute , but it may be another thing that starts them thinking....
dear brothers,.

You missed out the new term for governing body members, they're now to be known as
"Coordinators Until New Theocracy Starts"
😁
there are a couple new tabs on the app, one of which is the 'meetings' tab.
can you guess what the other one is?.

i want to spare you a long post about my background.
because this topic is about something else.a small information is that i knew ttatt before i got married.
but then i somehow pushed it back for quite some time because i didnt want to change my life and it was convenient to instantly meet new people when you move into a new city.couple of years into my marriage and seeing all the changes in the jw my thirst for ttatt resurfaced.
Yes, that's exactly how it's played. We all play it differently, and that's fair enough. I choose to not play it meanly because I can get enough mean at any kingdom hall. Because I see people needing support or empathy. If you want to be Biff Tannen, that's fine. I'll be Marty any day. Now where's my hover board?

To be honest DJS, I didn't read his post as asking for help, I read it more as a warning tale of what could happen.
Only he knows his situation, and I assume that since we're not here to help counsel potential suicide candidates then maybe we shouldn't be advising individuals on areas that probably need marriage guidance counsellors, you know, trained professionals.
I didn't say you were wrong about anything. But there are ways and means of putting things that don't involve name calling.
