Great thread.

Yes, the statements offered as "FACTS" by the articles, need to be questioned.

What proof is there that "they are divinely appointed"?

I couldn't find any others on that youtube channel Im afraid...but maybe I have not looked hard enough?

A good laugh though hey? I give credit to those who made it: "Governing body of apostate witnesses"

The perfect answer if you get asked to go to the memorial

by pepperheart in

i will go next year :-) .

If some witness asks "will you be at the memorial?", simply reply

"Have I ever missed one?" then change the subject.

Welcome welcome welcome friend!

Thank you for sharing your story. Your honesty and openness will be of help to many other "lurkers".

I relate to your account and circumstances in many ways.

No doubt you have had an in depth look at www.jwfacts.com ? That site has all the key points of a doctrinal nature, all presented with accurate reasoning and scriptural references. Also, it has many personal stories of ones who have woken up. Many were extremely "in" the organization, and "spiritual" witnesses! (One that comes to mind is Stumpy. His account is great!)

Please feel comfortable to share in the discussions here, knowing that it helps not only yourself, but others too. After all, doesn't the bible speak of "an interchange of encouragement"?

PS, you mentioned "tertiary entrance score" Are you from WA by any chance?

God answers JW prayers about trivialities while ignoring the abuse of little children

i've heard many experiences about how jehovah answers the prayers of jw's - convention items about pioneers gas bills, car repairs, job opportunities.

now, if this is true, you are actually stating that god has directly intervened in your life.

taken action on your behalf.

Yes, the very notion of Jehovah providing, or protecting, or guiding some situations, calls into question where he was, and why he chose to ignore others!!

Was he asleep at those times?

A witness will say "time and unforeseen occurances befall" ... blah blah....but then why would he allow a busload of witness on their way to a conventions to be killed, but then "direct someone to give a bag of groceries" to another??

Applying just a little bit of logical thought makes the whole issue crumble....
