  Simplified study watchtower

  by Saltheart Foamfollower in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there seems to be some confusion over what is happening with the study edition of the watchtower - i notice it isn't mentioned in the letter to be read out.

  if, as seems likely, it is going to be dumbed down even further then i think this could be the first step to shortening the watchtower study (to 30 mins?

  ) - it is the only meeting not to have been reduced in recent years.

  Seriously??

  The level of writing style is already so dumbed down!!

  So much for JWs thinking they are the best educated on the planet!

  Well, as ToMo3 famously said once, "Jehovahs people are the thinkingest people an tha planet...."

  At the annual meeting right now . . .

  i'm at the recorded meeting right now.

  trying to hide my disgust sitting up front listening to geoffrey jackson quibble about the pharisaical minutai of sanctification vs. vindication.

  the audience is thrilled that they now have 'permission' to say god's name can be vindicated.

  Oh wow...so GJack was critical of people who were pedantic about getting the whole sanctification vs vindication things correct?? BUT for YEARS we were told to "get it right" because it was "SO IMPORTANT"

  I can remember WT studies about it! I can remember elders and servants meetings about it! I can remember pioneer meetings about it!
  

  Hypocrites!

  SO many things!

  Once the first card is removed...the whole house of cards comes a-crashing down!

  The BIGGEST step? Is first giving oneself permission to START investigating the faith....

  Do JWs wonder why never converted someone that knows the Bible?

  by Counter-Watchtower in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my experience with jws that came to my house started me on a journey of learning the truth about "jehovah's organization".

  it didnt take long for me to stump them with bible questions that show what jw org teaches is not biblically accurate.

  i hope when i lay on them 6 pages of their history (which will later be a counter-watchtower magazine) the light will come on when they read about pyramids and see photos.

  i have opened thesite to relate this part of my day.. yes the jw are such happy people.

  I wonder if she is fuelled by her witness friends playing into a martyrdom complex.

  You know, saying things like "oh, how is your husband doing...is he ok? It must be SO HARD for you to put up with such opposition at home..."

  Then she gets home and has been preconditioned to think negatively of you?

  -My 9 Part Podcast This JW Life & Something For Tomorrow-

  by dubstepped in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those that don't know, i recently did a podcast series called this jw life outlining my life before, during, and after the cult.

  i made it with outsiders in mind so that anyone could understand what life as one of jehovah's witnesses is like and what it does to people.

  i posted about it as each episode came out, but i know that new people will see this and hope that it might help more people as time goes by, so i will post about it every so often to reach out to those that can find help processing their lives or that want to help outsiders to understand what it was like in one cohesive story.. tomorrow i will release episode 2 of my new podcast called “shunned”.

  Daily....

  I enjoy the interactions, and appreciate everyone's input.

  This wonderful community was a life line when I first awoke to TTATT! Especially before my wife also awoke. I found the ability to share thoughts and even to vent very cathartic.

  I am very appreciative of the support and help this community provided me!

  I hope too that I may have been able to assist others who went through similar life situations.

  I understand that we all grow, and that the nature and content of our posts change as we develop into "normal" people and become "ex-ex witnesses"

  Some of the ones who were very helpful in my early days have moved on and we don't see them here anymore... but I miss them and wish them well.

  Writing a book on Leaving Jehovah's Witnesses - suggestions welcome

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i finally decided to start writing a book on exiting jehovah's witnesses.

  i've been meaning to do this for a very long time.

  there are so many books out there and i don't want to repeat what everyone else has written.. although the book will include some basic history of jehovah's witnesses and the usual doctrinal flaws, it's core audience are those who are thinking about leaving, in the process of leaving or have already left.. the book will contain case studies of people who've left and made a success of their life.
