  Presentation by Paul Grundy (JW Facts)

  by Listener in

  2. beliefs

  i came across this recent down to earth presentation given by paul grundy.

  it's very long but provides a good overview of the jw religion and its dark side.

  it was hosted by "sydney atheists" so may not be an ideal link to send to jws.

  We were in attendance!

  It was a great evening, with between 40-60 there I reckon.

  A great mix of people, both ex witnesses and general public. It was a very cathartic opportunity. A chance to see how those in attendance who were never witnesses responded to the strangeness of what life was like for those of us raised as witnesses!

  Paul did a very good job, both during his speech and afterward as the large group mingled and chatted.

  In fact, the conversations amongst all afterward went on for quite some time... they almost had to kick everyone out!

  Now that is interesting!

  There is no logical reason why they would REMOVE the name...

  June 2017 Watchtower - Jehovah's Sovereignty is at stake if you disagree with us

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  four years ago the watchtower made the following demand.

  all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.

  they are not content with obedience and in the upcoming june watchtower they have this to say -15. how does respect for theocratic headship reveal our love for jehovah’s way of ruling?15 what is our response to divinely authorized headship?

  Great thread.

  Yes, the statements offered as "FACTS" by the articles, need to be questioned.

  What proof is there that "they are divinely appointed"?

  I couldn't find any others on that youtube channel Im afraid...but maybe I have not looked hard enough?

  A good laugh though hey? I give credit to those who made it: "Governing body of apostate witnesses"

  If some witness asks "will you be at the memorial?", simply reply

  "Have I ever missed one?" then change the subject.

  Welcome welcome welcome friend!

  Thank you for sharing your story. Your honesty and openness will be of help to many other "lurkers".

  I relate to your account and circumstances in many ways.

  No doubt you have had an in depth look at www.jwfacts.com ? That site has all the key points of a doctrinal nature, all presented with accurate reasoning and scriptural references. Also, it has many personal stories of ones who have woken up. Many were extremely "in" the organization, and "spiritual" witnesses! (One that comes to mind is Stumpy. His account is great!)

  Please feel comfortable to share in the discussions here, knowing that it helps not only yourself, but others too. After all, doesn't the bible speak of "an interchange of encouragement"?

  PS, you mentioned "tertiary entrance score" Are you from WA by any chance?

  God answers JW prayers about trivialities while ignoring the abuse of little children

  by jambon1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've heard many experiences about how jehovah answers the prayers of jw's - convention items about pioneers gas bills, car repairs, job opportunities.

  now, if this is true, you are actually stating that god has directly intervened in your life.

  taken action on your behalf.
