Active witnesses? Please help?

by Ahava in

hi,i'm lost and a little sad.

i actually like the jw faith.

some might call this faith cold, strict, dogmatic but they're just trying to follow rules and give back to god.

GB member in The Netherlands for contact with State secretary of Justice

by Gorbatchov in

jw
friends

dutch newspapers report that a gb member was in the netherlands last week for contact with the state secretary of justice because of the abuse cases.

(276 reported now).. no details were revealed.. g..

menrov

I thought the gb members are not accountable for WT nor does the WT dictate the gb. In other words, there is no legal relation. So why did one gb member show up????

Russia Seizes JW Property.

by Lost in the fog in

http://tass.com/world/1002773 .

This approach in Russia sounds extreme but it did not come unexpected. There are laws in a country, rightly or wrongly, but these laws are to be obeyed. The WT had the idea they could get away with their own approach or otherwise change course of things. It did not work. This would be for any organisation, religious or not.

Some or probably most JWs will see this as a fulfilment of some WT prophecy. A few might wake up. Nevertheless, I have seen political parties being dissolved because their resources dried up, people lost interest etc. In other words, if more countries adopt a similar policy, it can have a big impact.

With all respect, but if you trust your God to be your rock, why do you ask others?

"I am so excited to hear the Sunday morning talks at this summer's convention"

by Sour Grapes in

i have a super uber jdub relative who lives several states away.

he is always trying to encourage me since he knows that i stopped going to the kingdom haul.

anyhow, he sends me a copy of the program for the summer regional convention and pointed out the sunday morning talks.

menrov

send it and tell that it is better to know sooner than later... What if Armageddon comes before the convention..he would have missed the life saving instructions

Brother and friends

by menrov in

so, according to wt doctrine, we are brothers, right?

so, if we are all so-called brothers, that we all have one father, right?

if we are just friends of our creator, then we are not brothers.

menrov

So, according to WT doctrine, we are brothers, right? So, if we are all so-called brothers, that we all have one father, right? If we are just friends of our creator, then we are not brothers.

Next time you meet your elders, ask this question: why do you call me your brother (or sister) if I am just a friend of our God?

Have fun.

Lloyd’s new book

by jwfacts in

i see there has already been discussion over lloyd’s new book how to leave the jehovah's witnesses.

this includes discussion around his personality, motives and financial gains.

i have written a foreword for this book, because it is an important topic that has not been covered in such a complete format before.

menrov

I do not like personal attacks at all and I believe each one that left the WT should appreciate the efforts by people like Paul or Zeb or Lloyd. The site Lloyd had helped me a lot, JWFacts helped me and other sites as well. We all have our own personalities (once the WT imposed personality has faded again) and so do all these people have. Even if their efforts helped you 5 or 10% it is far more than anyone in the WT ranks would do to help you to regain your life.

I know hosting a site cost money, providing the contents is hard word and cost a lot of free time. Normally institutions to help drunk or abused people get some subsidy or sponsorship. I presume the so-called exJW sites are funded by their own money. If writing a book helps to generate some income whilst still helping others (You do not have to buy the book, there are still many sites available), who are we to judge? Also to publish a book cost money.

Anyway, I am happy with all the efforts that help people to wake up and re-gain their own lives again.

And they (WT) do not even serve a coffee with cake after the amazing event...such a warm event, showing how the WT is to receive them all and serve all with some nice coffee....
