  95 Un-Truths - celebrate 500 years since Diet of Worms

  by Anthony Morris DeTurd in

  well hello friends.

  you may recall the article we published about martin luther: https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2003686#h=1:0-44:51. at the end of this month it's exactly 500 years since he nailed his list of 95 objections (un-truths) to the door of the catholic church, kicking off the reformation...for which he was invited to the diet of worms (judicial committee) and excommunicated.. also at a similar time to this commemoration, i have been invited to attend an event of the vast apostate army here in warwick (5.11.2017).

  i'm worried that someone may compose a list of 95 untruths about us, and nail it to the gates at warwick!.

  can you still record the talks at assemblies?

  by greenhornet in

  years ago my parents would record these talks and play them back all the time.

  when they both died, we cleaned out the house and found 50 plus cassette tapes of recorded talks and they were labeled the year and the speaker at the time.

  that was in the year 2000. we just gave them to there jw friends because i did not want to keep them for recording of music.

  Thanks to Darkspilver for posting those verbatim guidelines.

  They are indeed the exact spiel announced at every convention now.

  It is truly amazing that it takes "Satan's worldly system" to point out the flaws in"Jehovah's spirit directed organisation"!!

  Where were you Jehovah while these thousands of cases took place worldwide?? Sleeping, or In the toilet perhaps? (1 Kings 18:27)

  Outside JW World They Barely Exist

  by Farmer Jim1 in

  2. friends

  is anyone else staggered by the fact that outside of the organization most of the general public seem to know very little or nothing about jw’s?

  when i was in i was led to believe that 99% of the worlds population had been giving sufficient warning, knew what it was all about and were stubbornly sticking to their immoral ways.

  the reality seems to be that the entire jw universe is barely noticeable to the masses.

  When I was in the first stages of waking up, I made a friend in the local community and shared some of my religious background. He is a devout Christian who attends an Anglican church.

  he made one comment that stood out to me just like the opening post. He simply stated that "nobody even knows or thinks about Jws."

  It stunned me to think that "we" were not well known! I had been raised all my life to think that the very earth revolved around "us" as witnesses!

  That really helped make those cracks in the ice of my faith get dangerously big!

  A wave of momentum!

  it certainly has to be one of the most exciting times to live in as an awake ex witness!.

  the wave of momentum we are part of as thousands awaken from the hold of the society is a joy to be a part of.

  the internet helps us to see that we are not alone.

  The internet helps us to see that we are NOT alone. We are NOT the only ones to recognise the facts we have learned.

  I wanted to thank the hundreds of online ex witnesses who have been brave enough to share their stories via videos, webpages and the like. Those who have put their faces and stories out there to help others.

  The more of us that take this brave step, the more the wave of momentum will build.

  Sure, be cautious if there may be personal consequences. But every story shared, every video posted, every effort put in, can help so many more people!

  Hey, if just one life can be saved from the cult, it is all worth it! But you have NOT just saved ONE life, but potentially THOUSANDS!

  Thanks for the hard work that has gone into all you do!

  JC letter of invitation. Do they always get signed?

  by StarTrekAngel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was just shown a jc letter from a friend and i noticed that the bottom of it was signed by tree elders.

  the letter specifically stated that it was an invitation to a "judicial committee" due to the brother having a marital relationship that was not aligned with bible principles.. i am asking because i remember reading experiences of brothers who demanded their jc be arranged over certified mail with signed letters to which elders refused to do.

  since they could not get this done the matter was dropped and no dfing ever happened.

  And of course, only a high control cult would have a specific set of guidelines and directives printed in a book just for elders, that seems to override the bible....

  “There’s nothing out there in the world for you...”

  by Jules Saturn in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  how would you guys react if or when you were told this phrase by a jw while having a conversation?

  another phrase is “this world...” or “this system, like gum will chew you up and when it’s done with you, spit you right back out.”.

  one i’ve been personally told was from a convert that had told me “whenever i speak to young ones that want to know if the grass is greener on the other side, i tell them i was a part of it.

  Every high control cult like group has their own variation of that expression.

  It is the usual Fear Obligation and Guilt used to try and lock members in physically and emotionally....
