  "No junk mail". How witnesses ignore these signs!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  as we know, many people have "no junk mail" signs on their home letterboxes.

  this clearly means that they do not want unsolicited mail or advertising material.. so how are witnesses getting around this?.

  during the campaign to distribute the convention invitations, when they come across a house with "no junk mail", they are just putting the leaflet inside an envelope and hand writing "to the householder" on the front and putting it in the letterbox!.

  Russian Ban upheld - JWs lose appeal

  the supreme court of russia has rejected the jehovah's witnesses' appeal.. https://jw-russia.org/news/17071719-195.html.

  july 17, 2017 the supreme court of russia has missed the last chance to restore law and justice for the 175,000 russian citizens professing the religion of jehovah's witnesses.

  it took less than an hour of the meeting a panel of three supreme court judges, to leave unchanged the decision taken earlier by the judge yuri ivanenko, the liquidation and ban any and all registered organizations of the religion.since there is no more effective domestic remedies, the believers will appeal to the european court of human rights and other international organizations.. *note: as reported by the jworg source, jw-russia.org.

  Fisherman, are you proposing that Jehovah caused the earthquakes as retribution?!?!

  wow....so he would rather cause many people to be injured or lose their lives instead of influencing a favourable court decision?

  Sounds loving to me...

  Seriously? Isn't that simply ignoring the householder's wishes??

  Where is the proof?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we all know that the governing body claim to be "god's representatives" and the "faithful and discreet slave" that dispenses spiritual food..... but where is the proof?.

  according to the bible (if we just for a moment take it as a reliable source), all of god's representatives in the past furnished proof of their appointment - not just self referential claims or statements.. for instance, moses and aaron performed miracles before pharaoh (such as the snake staffs.).

  other prophets performed signs and miracles such as making the sun stand still, healing sick people, making walls fall down, etc etc.... even jesus performed miracles as proof of his divine appointment!.

  Excellent comments!

  Yes, the ONLY proof they have is their own testimony. And the claim that they have "love amongst themselves"...

  EVERY religious group claims the very same thing though!

  I doubt they will bring in too many more...

  If they do, there is more chance of someone disagreeing with their present directions....and we know they just will not allow that!

  Some Good News About Me (Although Anthony Morris Will Be Furious)

  just wanted to share with you some good news i'm really excited about.

  i have been accepted for university to study psychology and counseling.

  my goal is to become a counselor and, in time, to specialize on treating those who have left high control relationships/groups like we all did.. it'll take a few years before im qualified but studying in university has been a dream of mine since i was 12, which was systematically dashed to pieces by watchtower.. .

  But what have the GB done? What can they point to as PROOF CONCLUSIVE that they have been appointed by the Almighty to tell us all what to do?

  Episode 6 - Life Gets Dark As One Of Jehovah's Witnesses - Is Live Now

  by dubstepped in

  episode 6 of this jw life is now live.

  it is a brutally honest, at times dark, look into what it was like behind the scenes in our lives.

  people don't talk openly about ugly parts of their lives and it leads to other people feeling alone when theirs gets ugly.

  Has anybody experienced a judicial committee in a private venue?

  by Chook in

  2. experiences

  i think getting them to agree to a private place would give you an edge (even if the egde of their sword closer to home).

  if i'm ever hauled before their kangaroo court i will only go on one of three conditions .1 non jw venue .2 with legal representation .

  3 the recording of proceedings.

  When I was being harassed by the elders, I politely reminded them to "respct boundaries, or I may be forced to avail myself of the legal means at my disposal"

  That was a polite way of threatening action if they maligned my name.

  It didn't work. While they never publicly said anything from the platform and never took "judicial action", the elders SURE DID run around slandering my name and character to EVERY member of the local congregation as well as most within the surrounding circuits.

  Im treated as a DF person even though they never took the action.

  I reckon they feel quite proud of themselves really.
