  what kind of confidence can anyone have in an organization that rejected its founder and first two presidents for the first 63 years of its existence?

  that's 53% of the time they existed!

  any comments.

  Holy spirit is not tuning good at Brooklyn. Maybe moving out from there they will have a better reception.

  We need another EX-GB book. Ray Franz book is excellent. I wonder if all the procedures in the GB are still the same. If not, what have changed? Who gives them the new light to publish? We know is not the holy spirit. Where do they get the crazy ideas from?

  Christ's Fake Brothers - Tomorrow's WT Study

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  tomorrow's wt study, paragraph 4 says this - "the early bible students understood the expression rendered in the king james version "my brethren" to refer to those who would rule with christ as well as to all of mankind after they are restored to earthly perfection.".

  rutherford decided in 1923 to change this teaching, and create an elite group of christians.

  for 92 years the men running the wtbts have perpetuated & embellished this false teaching - especially so during the past three years - and hidden the bible truth about christ's brothers from millions of people fearful to question the org - created doctrine!.

  Is there something in the Bible that says that a reproved brother can't give a comment or prayer at meetings?

  I know you fellow apostate brothers would give me an answer for that one, specially elders.

  When the shepherd takes the lost sheep back to the flock, will he have that sheep separated (disfellowshipped) from the rest for a year or two as a punishment?

  As someone said: "Let's review it, It's a cult"

  When was time to sing, I listened to her beautiful voice. But then I heard her say to her husband: "this man sings too ugly". As a matter of fact I do. As soon as I heard her say that, I turned around to her and I started singing louder.... LOL She was all pissed off, she couldn't go anywhere cause we were sitting in the middle of a row... LOL

  I still remember that and I laugh imagining her face... LOL

  What have you done on purpose to piss off someone?

  What triggered your doubts / awakening?

  by Tornintwo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i am sort of new here, used a different username for a while but things got 'difficult' at home so i've since been lurking.... what i would be really interested to know, if you don't mind sharing, is what it was that triggered your doubts and initial research which led to awakening, was it a bad experience, injustice, changed doctrine?

  for me, it was seeing mistreatment of young ones in the congregation, they're under so much pressure and as soon as they go even slightly astray they are shunned, either informally (as bad associations which pushes them further into the 'world') or formally - with elders dying to throw the book at them so they even lose their family.... ...then reading about child abuse issues in the press.... ...which led me to silentlambs.

  ...then jw facts, this forum and coc, wham!

  JWs and their views on Sex

  by campaign of hate in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the past i have read on this forum that the wt have a say in the "bedroom" of couples.

  i thought that was a bit overkill at first, but recently i have come to conclusion that this is true.. the control administered by the wt cooperation on ones sex life is not on only intrusive, its damaging.

  they control every aspect of ones thought and action, thus leading most down a path that said corporation wants them to tread.. this path is to get married young, and then eternal loyalty the the organisation.. so how can an organisation force you to get married young?.

  I know of an elder that prays before having sex with his wife. That is what he told his student once when we went to conduct a book study. Always pray, any moment, even before sex.
