good day to all on this discussion board.
i am "godbless" and i am new to this discussion board.
i live in westmoreland, jamaica.
I believe Jehovah God and Jesus Christ both are using me
You and thousands of other crackpots from the dawn of civilization.
I'm not trying to be mean, but there's ample evidence that JWs NEVER were a special chosen people from the beginning. Like OneEyedJoe said, JWfacts.com is a great place to start pulling the curtain back. There's nothing special back there, never has been.
this is my first post to this site, im pale.emperor's brother:).
first of all, i've left being a jw in june.
since then my family have tried to convince me it's "the truth" and force me to go back even though it's my own decision.
Hi Dan, so good to hear from you directly. After hearing your brother's heart wrenching story I feel I know you somewhat already. I'm sorry for both of you but also happy and hopeful. Look forward to your future input on the forum.
just seen this announced on reddit:.
ken cook was announced today at morning worship as the new member of the governing body.
i dont recall him from the broadcasts, but he was formally a helper on the writing committee as per https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/governing-body/.
Well they take turn hosting so no doubt he will too.

Wow, this is unusual. There's no record of him at all on Watchtower Online Library or jw dot org, aside from the old list of GB helpers. No mention, let alone a picture.Interesting that he hasn't been very prominent up until now.

Just redirects to this post.
much has been said about “fake news”.
regarding the witnesses, they would always ask, “ did you hear the latest”?.
since the witnesses claim to have the “truth”, can you express anything that turned out to be truly “fake news”?
Sadly it seems that JWs are extra predisposed to swallow fake news, and on Facebook I've lost count of the 'satire' links and inaccurate memes shared by them as truth without doing any research.
so my cousin phoned and told me my jw sister was taken to hospital with chest pains and it may have been a slight heart attack or possibly she's starting with angina.
now as some of you know my sisters and brother have had little to do with me for 29 years.
we've met at funerals, or arranged them, but i just thought today what if she did die?
Just always try to do the right thing. Don't get sidetracked, make a dig or bring religion into it. Just demonstrate how a normal person would act. That will be good for whoever reads it as they don't see it that often with the folks they spend time with. Kill em with kindness.
i just thought i'd share this story from my past.. back in the 80s i remember the big problem seemed to be about music.
(today, it's tight pants, i guess) the organization, society, whatever they were calling themselves, were always going on about the music we listened to.
disco, heavy metal, the whole "backwards masking" thing...couldn't escape hearing or reading about how satan was corrupting us unless we were listening to kingdom melodies or elevator music.. i was assigned to wtf in the late 80s and remember one of the articles stating that "young people know that the rhythm of rock music is the rhythm of sexual intercourse.
Except now JW Broadcasting has Christian rock. The original song "Let's Keep the Pace" could be interpreted as having a sexual rhythm . . . But then again so can anything if your mind's in the gutter.
today is the four year anniversary of the last time i set foot in a kingdom hall.
it was the day of the kool-aid issue of the wt!
“at that time, the life-saving direction that we receive from jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.
Happy anniversary, or should I say birthday, in a way 🤗
