April 2017 Study Watchtower encourages you to defy The Society !

by BluesBrother in

at least, that is how i see it... the article "the judge of all the earth always does what is right".

paragraph 6 & 7 .

6 consider the experience of willi diehl.

"simply a result of the misapplication of the organizational guidelines"

Meaning: WE WERE PERFECT WE DO NOT APOLOGIZE FOR ANYTHING,

Indeed a poor workman who blames his tools!

More accurately a matter of throwing the scapegoat (the Branch) under the bus!

Truth was this was a long standing mandate from "The Good and

Righteous Judge"

Who famously abandoned his own wife and son, the family no one knew about,

The founder of Jehovah' Witnesses, serving Jehovah the founder of all

families

Who left His name people to the instruction and care of this man!

And now The Wicked Judge was dead!

I think the CO just knocked on my door.

by schnell in

i can't be too sure, because i didn't answer, but my mother had called me this morning and said this week is our co visit.. it's been a while since i last had elders at my door.

last time that happened, i posted about it, so it was only a few months.. i really don't want to talk with them.

is there a chance i'll be announced as "no longer one of..." after he's left if i don't?.

From what I can make out you don't have anything to worry about if they

don't get the idea you're living /sleeping with someone they don't think

you should

Or have Cupid saying let me be your valentine on your front door,

A reminder:

Don't talk to them, it's "I'm having personal problems I really can't talk" and

don't say a thing

Express yourself elsewhere!

Correct we if I'm wrong but I see absolutely contrary reasoning in this article which asks:

"Would I patiently wait on Jehovah, or would I be inclined to take matters

into my own hands?"

This man went against what the Branch (the Society) was

strongly suggesting (Don't marry) and did what he thought best

Great!

So why can the Watchtower bring us to the above "point" when it is

the exact OPPOSITE of what the man did?

Flip Flops to Nowhere

by Lostandfound in

how long until wt has flip flopped its way back to anything of the faith many of us knew?

who are the now dead ones giving evidence of their non captivity to babylon etc?

i would not recognise what goes on in a kh now and i was in since 60s when we had firm beliefs, now being eroded little by little.

Witness weddings

by dothemath in

recently went to a witness wedding, and after the vows the bride and groom were introduced as "brother and sister".....(then last name).....(then the big kiss).

this is likely not unusual (i've heard it before), but with lots of "worldly" people in attendance it seems out of place to me.. i was just wondering if that's the way it is most places?.

Is it possible to decline preaching in the carts?

by Skepsis in

jw
friends

hi folks,.

i have a difficult dilemma.

since i'm not pioneering any more, i'm reducing my hours wasted at that artifact known as cart or trolley.

@skeptis

Cheers,

Thank you for the update on beards in Europe,

For me there came to be the time to make a clean break

I just figured I'd fade down to one hour a month with minimal

meeting attendance

I tried that then figured that I just needed more faith

So I did my best again

But that didn't sit right

For ministry it's ok if it means driving around in a car group doing nothing

But for me, if I'm conducting Studies and such I can't tell them partial

truths

That amounts to fraud

More so from the platform

"With great power comes great responsibility"

I don't believe there's a painless way to leave this religion

I lost my wife, adult children, grandchildren

That's the carnage that comes from this religion

It's very painful

Some stay "in" for that reason, a kind of virtual prison

Others just accept the pain as a necessary part of their lives

I couldn'the live a lie anymore

Hyper Tech

by IveBeenBitten in

this "world event" is a few years away but i'm in the field so i work everyday to prepare for it.. our technology is advancing at an exponential rate.

shit will hit the fan because of it.. even as a jw i knew this was coming.

in fact, i thought that's what the bible was talking about.
