  Just for the record, the criminal is not named Brendan Foster. That is the JOURNALISTS name who has written this article.

  (The OP sort of looks like that is the criminals name)

  I grew up in that circuit! At the same time.....

  It is comforting to see the Australian Royal Commission is yielding results.

  2017 Convention Video To Be Shown Regarding The 1975 Failure

  no mention whatsoever that it was watchtower themselves that strongly hinted towards this date.

  instead they blame those who "put their trust in a date, not jehovah".. let's recap... .

  OH MY!

  Wow...the shameless arrogance and conceit of the writers (and GB) is mind-blowing!
  

  How dare they try and re-write history and skew the reality....

  If the GB would just own their own mistakes instead of shifting the blame......

  3 missed calls from my jw brother last night.

  i didnt answer because he's actively shunning me and when he does ring it always to preach to me about how we're so close to the end and how i should "humble myself before the mighty hand of god" .

  he then texts me saying "we need to talk".

  Wow....

  Now if that sort of conduct doesn't scream "CULT!" , then nothing does....

  Seriously, the idea of rushing back into the arms of an abusive tyrant who will beat you or kill you if you don't obey, is not healthy....

  Abusive spouses like that are prosecuted by the law,but religious deities who do that are "worshipped"

  If Jesus had to choose his earthly organisation NOW, who would win?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower

  we all know that the society claims that jesus invisibly chose the bible students (forerunners of jw) in 1919 to be his organization here on earth.. yet, as we know, so much of what they then taught and did was wrong according to current teaching and practice.. the reply witnesses will give is something like "they were the most sincere seekers of truth blah blah...and jesus could see their potential".

  so, pretend for a moment that the current organization and the 1919 organization were both in concurrent existence at the time he invisibly came to choose.... which would he choose?

  the current or former?.

  i just wanted to share a quick thread to remind us all to never give up hope that our loved ones who are still mentally trapped in the org may one day wake up.. when i first starting waking up i never thought my wife would also awake.

  i have always loved and respected her ability to think and reason, but i assumed that the hold of the organisation would always have its grip on her.. but slowly, and with patience, i shared some things i had learned, and the results have been amazing!.

  my dear wife, who posts here under the name "unstuck" is so fully awake along with me.

  The current has morphed into something very much like that which the former organization used to criticise, so who would Jesus choose?
