a pimo friend (physically in mentally out) has just informed me that the cult has decided that they want to suppress all old jw org information by removing bound volumes etc from kh libraries.. in reality, all through their history they have claimed divine "new light" as a means of changing uncomfortable doctrines.
this however would mean that new jws, or more likely these days young jws, will be prevented from seeing the old light which had been held up as divinely inspired truth in the past.. truth which would get you through big a and which if you didn't agree with would get you disfellowshipped.. anyone else heard of this?
what might be the reasons (if true) for removing the old wts?.
When I was beginning to wake up over 5 years back, we had a work day at the KH.
The Co-ordinator ordered that all the older books be boxed up and thrown to the garbage tip.
I objected because "we were always told to value our rich spiritual heritage", so I hid the boxes back in the basement of the hall.
I then read many of those books!
That was my awakening when I read the bat-shit crazy stuff the society spewed out! (Old CT Russell books etc!)
ok, so try and follow me here.... according to jw doctrinal teachings, the gb are "christ's brothers".
humans are all "god's children".
so does that make the gb our "uncles"?.
Haha! Love the comments!

According to JW doctrinal teachings, the GB are "Christ's Brothers".
Humans are all "God's children"
So does that make the GB our "uncles"?
BUT, everyone is also "God's children"
So does that make them our "Brothers" too?
BUT, The anointed GB are also called "The Bride of Christ".
So does that make them our "Aunts" or our "Cousins"??
And, if they are "God's children" and "Jesus bride", that sounds very incestuous!
Thoughts??

Brilliant quote Hecce!!
i've always been confused as to what the discrepancy is between the phrases "spirit directed/spirit led" and "inspired".
in the february 2017 watchtower study article, paragraph 12 says:.
12 the governing body is neither inspired nor infallible.
Governing Body: " It is really quite simple....just do everything we tell you, because we are God's channel of communication "
episode 8 - get out of her, my people - it all came tumbling down, is now out.
this is a long one and the next to last in my story.
there comes a point in life when you know too much to ever go back to the person you once were, or to the cult that you once called home.
Thanks buddy!
I only just checked this morning...must have missed it by a few hours!
Keep up the good work!

It is worth watching!
trying not to type swearwords as i write this so bare with me.. my little 3yo attends meetings with her jw mum (who doesn't believe watchtower anymore but is stuck in because she relies on her family for help).
my mum (the one who tells people im dead) had a party for her grandchildren.
that's my 4 nieces and 1 nephew aged from 3yo-11yo.
WOW!
There is little more I can add that everyone has not already said. Simply deplorable behaviour.
Treasure every moment with your wonderful little girl.
Also, treasure the new form that the relationship with your ex has taken as your little girl's mother.
My sincerest Love to you mate!
