  i learned this past week that my wife is now awake.

  i just shared the pbs newshour segment with her with no comment other than something along the lines of, "jw story on pbs.".

  she is furious at the arrogance of these men.. thats what happens when you get a momma angry!.

  so, i'm visiting family this week who are all jws.

  yesterday, it started with one of them talking about a co giving her some points on time keeping for service.

  she is now writing a letter before she drives to service, so she can count her drive time.

  Same here. immediately after the FS meeting ends, I notice some pioneers starts to call up their Bible students or RV, chat a little with them,ask if they are at home., or any small talk. Deep down, we know they are starting to count time. Why does the preaching work deteriorate to merely counting hours instead of making your hours count. Does the true God look at your time sheet, I mean really???

  Can your pervert the meaning of scripture even more...

  by never a jw in

  2. bible

  for a while i have shaken my head after learning how jw's interpret (rather corrupt the meaning of) matthew 8:11. i thought it couldn't get any worse.

  i was wrong.

  the following is an extract of the march 2015 watchtower in pg 27. the writer is explaining the meaning of mathew 25:31-46. enjoy!.

  This WT writer must have written this article under duress from the GB. You could not have interpreted the scriptures this way unless they under influence. Pretty scary. Utter nonsense!

  Is it worth it trying to wake up a friend and my parents?

  by Mr. Self-Destruct in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my situation right now is trying that how my friend and parents that the jw's are not the true religion.

  i've shown numerous examples of flip flopped doctrine, false predicions, the validity of the jesus choosing the bible students in 1919 and more.

  but it seems that although the recognize these mistakes they ask me, "aren't you happy the organization is making progress?

  Congrats. You are so young yet you woke up. We spent 20 yrs in Borg and we woke at 39. It took us few years to join the dots to be fully awake.

  Lita not easy. It takes time n patience. Keep up the good work. Ask them if they love the real truth? Read Captives of concept book. It will help. Stay Awake!

  2. friends

  hello one and all.. the local jws had a booth set up at my university today and something just came over me.

  i went to a computer, found a list of failed prophecies, printed and stapled it, and walked over to the middle aged woman and the 10-ish years old girl.

  the woman said "if you are interested in anything, take it for free.

  do jws even read and absorb mathew ch 5 and 6 ?

  by sowhatnow in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i mean its says right in there not to pray in public, or babble on, how many 10 minuet long babbling prayers have you endured ??.

  where in the bible does it tell us anyone prayed for a large group of people publicly, or even in front of the family at their homes?.

  it says in vs 14 to be forgiving, how can disfellowshipping someone be forgiving?

  Jehovah's Trumpet - Dangers of Superstition

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the latest blast of "jehovah's trumpet" warns us about the irrational nature of common superstitions.... the article then goes on to provide counsel on the dangers of the domonic attacks that often result from unwisely purchasing second-hand objects.

  the risk is demonstrated by recounting the real-life story of poor sister lemming and her new ministry bag.. genius satire as always!

  please take some time to read the community comments.. .

  Finally sent that letter, but not to mom...

  by Odrade in

  2. experiences

  no not that letter.. so we hobbled along with the family relationship.

  my parents (super-devout, highly involved and connected in jw-land,) spoke with me occasionally with that sad mopey voice.

  at one point about 6 years ago, my mom quit speaking to me.

  When Was Jerusalem Destroyed By The Babylonians?

  by Smart in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  can someone explain in easy to understand language what this argument is all about.

  i am not that clever.

  i am hoping to talk to the elders about this as well as whoever is willing to talk about it on here.

  I did some research on the date of Jerusalem Destruction during my awakening process. I wonder why does WT teaches 607 BC while all other sources states differently. There is absolutely no support to believe this date. 607 BC is plain wrong and if you research further, CT Russell took this date from Adventist teaching. Error passes on from one to another. Click link below to see what major encyclopaedias says about this momentous event.

  http://www.jehovahswitnessblog.com/faqs/was-jerusalem-destroyed-in-607/

  607 BC teaching is important to calculate 1914 as date of Christ’s return teaching. If 607BC is not the date of Jerusalem Destruction, then 1914 is not the date of Christ return. As I mention prior, last days had actually began much earlier (Acts 2:17). It begins when Jehovah pours out his Spirit at Pentecost, 33CE. The scripture is that simple and clear in its teaching. Don’t be fool by complex calculation methodology that was inherited from the Adventist religion.Search the name “Barbour”.
  Below is the time ruler that I formulate while during one of my Bible Study session in Oct 2013. Upon close examination, I know that something is seriously wrong with the Watchtower teaching.

  TIME BAR

  Something that I learn recently is about 1914. This doctrine was slowly adopted in the 1930s after death of Rutherford. Previously, CT Russell and Rutherford believes and taught that 1874 is the year of Christ return and 1914 is the year of End of the Gentiles times and Armageddon. Do some research on Watchtower history, brothers. Be like the Boreans and you will learn that WT is not directed by the Holy Spirit, not now, not ever in past history.

  The original society’s books are available in actual scanned docs. Research it. These quotes are not fake!

  “Our Lord, the appointed King, is now present since October 1874, A.D., according to the testimony of the prophets, to those who have ears to hear it: and the formal inauguration of his kingly office dates from April 1878, A.D.” Studies in Scriptures Series IV (1897) p.621

  “The Scriptural proof is that the second presence of the Lord Jesus Christ began in 1874 A.D.” Prophecy (1929) p.65

  “From 1874 onward is the time of the Lord’s second presence, as above stated his circumstantial evidence fulfilling prophecy is what constitutes the physical facts, and is proof corroborative of the Lord’s presence since 1874. … His presence beginning in 1874, he has carried on his harvest work from 1874 forward” Our Lord’s Return (1929) pp.27, 33, 37
  “HARVEST” is a term which gives a general idea as to what work should be expected to transpire between the dates 1874 and 1914.” Studies In the Scriptures – Thy Kingdom Come p.135

  In 1914, the Bible Students are totally clueless of Christ return!

  You may quote Acts 1:6 to justify that Jesus’s apostles has wrong expectation. Read the verse!
  The apostles merely ask Jesus in private if he is restoring the Kingdom to Israel at that time.
  That is a vast contrast of one who publicly preach and broadcast their “wrong expectation” via countless speeches and millions of printed pages. If this is not deception, what is?

  I read it and managed to share it with my wife. We woke up eventually and leave the Org. Sad we wasted 20 yrs in the Org. We have our life back and life be so wonderful. We loved our weekends and made new friends. Life is great. COC is one of the crucial tool in our awakening process. The rest are jwsurvey, jwfacts, Captives of concept and the hypocrisy n judgemental attitude of some of my long time friends/ brothers. Thank you for waking us up.
