conversation with an elder...i said " did you watch due south yesterday" and he said " ive got far more important things to do".
i mean that comment of his got me to thinking and wondering, and made me see he was missing out on living..and i think that comment was the straw that broke this boys faith, and started my i dont want to be a witness anymore.
kind of wierd how a simple question opened my eyes.. and now as i write this i am watching " the rebel" a 1950s western series, and its great and its even better my 9 year old is watching with me..and there is nothing more important than being happy.. .
"The Governing Body / F&DS are god's chosen channel on earth"
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
etc
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
i am going to throw down the gaunlet.
those who know the truth but stay in anyways are complicit in actions of the jehovah witness organization.
while i am sympathetic to the very difficult choices that they have to make, their unwillingness to confront the jw enables the organization.. some of you may remember my story.
It is not quite as simple as "standing up one day and announcing TTATT from the platform and walking out" sadly...
I am stuck in the rut and find it very hard to seize the opportunity to act decisively...there is so much involved........
But I am thankful for the support this forum provides.
dear brothers:.
whazzup?????.
one year has passed and we have noticed that you have not had any issues with your monthly pledges.
oh, and for the 2015 letter....
"its been 101 years since the birth of the kingdom...hence, as 101 is a nice looking number, expect the end very soon!"
Your GB,
getting to know the warrior who gives peace we can learn something about god when we are concerned with people like jacob, who saw god face to face.
(gen. 32:30) true, moses and aaron, nadab and abihu and seventy of the older men of israel proceeded to go up, and they got to see the god of israel.
24:9, 10.someone who has seen god face to face surely would be able to teach us many things about him.
fantastic thread!
i am going to print this up!.
it will come in very handy!
on a recent thread about the fleecing of the sheeples, one poster said their congo was down to 85 publishers from 102.. the last hall i attended had 80-odd publishers 20 years ago, now only 30.. how much of a decline at your kh?.
Ours just gets larger all the time!
It depends on whether you live in a growth area where new housing is being built, or if you live in a stagnant area...
Its not about the numbers coming in from the territory though...it's about witnesses moving in from other areas...so it all balances up in the long run....
..and if they do "count the time", do you think that they type very slowly?.
Hey Kate,
while I'm still in my fading / exiting stage, I just make up garbage for the report slip anyway!
I do that for my wife's too....I think deep down she loves that, and never asks what I put on there for hers...I just say..."I took care of it"
what i am talking about is the march 15,2014 wt articles on aged and care for the elderly.i mean no disrepect to farts.actually farts are beneficial however,the resultant gawful smell stinks to high heaven.. ask these aged and elderly ones today what advice did they get in the sixies.did they receive any financial planning,pre-retirement advice,plan for medical costs,tax accountancy,debt recovery banking,etc..or you will never get old,no need for education,don't have childern the end is near.now they say the childern(which they weren't to have) have the responsilibity to take care of the elderly.. their advice is more like the resultant of a fart..
They will never provide physically for older ones!
They don't even keep on travelling overseers past 70 now. They just kick them out and say "you're on your own now buddy!"
..and if they do "count the time", do you think that they type very slowly?.
The hours don't matter to anyone except your local busy body judgemental elders anyway....so who cares...
just some thoughts on all the recent things going on.
i'm still recovering from the whole donation arrangement thing.
was speaking to some relatives who are also jw's and they don't really get what is going on but sense in some way that things are not right.
I also can't stand doing talks or parts that are blatent propaganda teachings or just don't make sense...
i still can't believe how manipulative the org was by ensuring that 6 months before all of this money stuff etc came up, that they had that paragraph about "doing whatever we are asked, even if it doesn't appear logical from a human standpoint etc"
they were planning all this years ago, and were just "lining up the ducks" to make to it happen without any resistance!
