  First posting on here..Hello all

  by London Underground in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just wanted to say a big hello to everyone, my first post on here was actually yesterday but it was deleted.. so will keep this one short to save my precious time just in case its also deleted or lost.. got fed up with years of persecution from within the congregations.

  the lack of genuine friendship & lack of 'christian love'.

  having personally seen many a scandalous behaviour i began doing some research online some years ago.

  Great to see!

  The more cases - the more a spotlight is shone on the destructive practices and appalling behaviour of the Society.

  The way he interacted with the kids that presented the medals was beautiful.

  He has such a personable and warm manner. A true gentleman.

  He is married to a lovely lady. He is known as a sincerly nice guy.

  Need help understanding the Overlapping Generation teaching

  by Jules Saturn in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so this is a topic that seriously boggles my mind and please correct me if i'm wrong.

  to me, the jw definition of the overlapping generation teaching is that the lives of the anointed from 1914 overlap with the lives of the anointed right now.

  david splane used the example of fred franz and how he finished his "earthly course" in 1992 but while he did, he had a lot of "contemporaries" that outlived him and are currently living today.

  Excellent comments from all-including those great WT article references.

  I'm going to keep this content in my file for further discussions with my still-in brain dead family.

  Bumped. 30/09/2017

  Just wanted to bump this thread in honour of the amazing Grand Final victory that The Richmond Tigers had yesterday!

  In what has been an amazing climb to victory, the team has worked so hard to go from the lower end of the league all the way to the Grand Final! Their first Grand Final appearance and victory in 37 years!

  A cohesive and well trained team. One with great ethics and a united bunch of players, coaches and staff!

  Alex Rance played an outstanding game!

  New Light - God chose the Bible students as his org long BEFORE the official inspection in 1919

  by doubtfull1799 in

  was watching this recently done new history of the society - here it is on youtube if you missed it when it first came out:.

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bv82k1z7n_4&feature=youtu.be.

  lots of contradictory and nutty comments - for instance stating one minute that 1914 proved such a faith strengthening event because it fulfilled all their predictions, how encouraged they were, and then a few minutes later claiming the opposite - that many were disappointed and shocked because their expectations were not met!.

  The saddest thing is that the current generation of witnesses has had their orgnasation's history white washed. They now THINK they know the FACTS about the origins of their faith group, but have instead been force fed some adapted and distorted version.

  Shame on you GB! Shame! So much for "speaking the Truth"

  "exjws" and money making Ponzi schemes.

  by Thisismein1972 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  ok i want to pose a question to those who care to discuss this.. imagine a scenario.

  you hear of a exjw writing a book, however, before writing this book this exjw is requesting money to publish said book.

  you go along with it and help to get this book out to the public as you think that it will be beneficial.

  Every new generation of ex witnesses need a book that is relevant from their perspective and time period. As amazing, well written and researched the older books were, they were not written for and from the perspective of today's generation.

  I believe that The Reluctant Apostate is a very good book. Lloyd has done a great job with it.

  Please don't cast stones at me for saying that. While some here may have had personal issues with Lloyd in the past, it is not fair to criticise his work. He has helped many more (particulary younger ones) awaken to Truth About The Truth. And that has to be a good thing! - Saving the next generation of vulnerable born-ins....

  Paradise? Was it?

  by TerryWalstrom in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  paradisewas it really paradise to be in paradise?adam and eve never were held by a mother, never cuddled and sung to with a lullaby nor nursed or coddled with tenderness or any human familial embrace.

  the first humans (adam and eve) never learned to toddle surrounded by brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles and grandparents cheering them on.

  the entire experience of childhood was excised surgically like a trauma patient awakening from an accident with amnesia.adam and eve were never in a neighborhood with other kids forming friendship bonds for life and exchanging dreams and hopes for a future they were building in their community.

  Waking up to TTATT: Blessing or Curse?

  by Jules Saturn in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  if you take the red pill, you'll have knowledge, you'll be awakened, aware of reality, you'll have freedom.. if you take the blue pill, you stay in your bubble, wearing rose colored glasses, and feel security in an illusion.. taking the red pill isn't something that's easy to do.

  to accept that everything around you is an illusion built up on lies or half truths.

  but hey, it might feel good to be aware and break free from this illusion.

  I value Truth and Honesty over any temporary feel-good emotion of belonging to a special club.
