"if you are a young person you need to face the fact you will never grow old in this system of things.. why not?
because all the evidence in fulfilment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years...as a young person you will never fulfil any career that this system offers".
may 22 awake!
I had a heated discussion with an elder one who said the "society NEVER said, nor implied anything about 1975"
I told him he obviously had never read the magazines properly!
At the very next work day at the Kingdom Hall, he ordered all the older publications to be boxed up and thrown away in the bin. (Naturally, I kept them)
like this perhaps?
it is pretty cool after all... .
(i took both of these pics and the difference was, well, obvious!).
Id like a giant pyramid headstone thanks...
i'm quite surprised about the new approach of some local congregation brothers respect about my fade.... funny, ilegal and very dangerous in view of the different laws regarding personal data and minorities in spain and in the eu.... i already organized a press meeting with main newspapers in spain.
many has shown interest in this situation.
the fact of that a parallel judicial system do exist is amazing them.
And we see that they are not doubting the "report" from that sister, nor seeking clarification as to whether the accusation is correct!
They have already determined your "guilt".
it's been some time.
wondering if anyone remembers me from the 'old days'.
:).
Hello!
Welcome.
Sorry, I don't recognise your name, but it's great to meet you😀
once again the society is on a push to scare witnesses away from doing any research, or "stumbling" upon any "apostate" material (from workmates, neighbors, or online).
however, the most enlightening, mind blowing and eye opening things are found simple by reading the early publications themselves!.
read how ct russel, (the supposed channel god was using) had the most far fetched and laughable ideas, such as obtaining pivotal dates by measuring the pyramids of egypt!...
Bumped for a new bunch of lurkers...
I was asked the other day what made me first have doubts. The reality is, I didn't have doubts until I followed the societies OWN advice they have said many times, which was "we should enjoy reading the rich history of Jehovah's organisation in the older publications" etc... (There have been several articles about this over the years.)
I did that, and that's where I found so many odd things we were never told about!
Then the extended research began, and that uncovered so much more!....Then the dam wall burst open....
some (especially witnesses) may wonder what brings us to places like this?.
why is it that we have chosen to step away from the society that we once viewed as "the truth", despite the consequences for doing so?.
well for any visitors to this site, or any other "apostate" sites, the answer is simple really:.
Bumped for the new ones and lurkers....

She is the voice of the feral racist bogans!
(Thats like a "redneck" for those in the USA)
Her comments smack of someone who fires off comments without properly thinking them through....
original thread here.
update: so, after the meeting i had with elders a few weeks ago as outlined in my original thread, they met as a body and once again called to tell me that after considering my case they still thought a judicial committee should be held against me and asked to be there "thursday at 7:30".
all of this, i remind you, because of posting coc on facebook.
So now, instead of posting CoC on FB, why not post the "elders" book instead?
hehe
ok so i was stupid and looked at the text for today, i do not know why i did it.
i lost a couple of brain cells and put myself into an even deeper depression over it.
it was just that my husband had it out and i thought what can it hurt, wondering what they are up to.
Yes, the F.O.G is still strong
Fear
Obligation
Guilt
we all gossip.
it is only human.
watchtower actually tries to instruct adherents not to gossip and it can land a jw in front of a judicial committee—some do try to follow this admonition.
In answer to the thread question:
Well, I cant actually say, but I did hear from a sister's friend in another congregation who's husband is an elder, that the CO told them that in another part of the world the brothers did report that there are more that get hurt by gossip each day. But he did say to not tell anyone, but I know I can trust you to not share this news because we are friends...so shhh
