  this is my first time joining a forum like this.

  i grew up in the jw religion.

  i was baptized when i was 13 and started to fade out at 16 at least mentally.

  Welcome. You've come to the right place.

  There is no 'one size fits all' answer.

  You might start with asking your sister why she wants to go back.

  Jesus clearly stated to treat others the way you want to be treated, right?
  Who likes being shunned? Nobody!!

  To forgive. ( they DF )
  Not to judge ( they DF )
  To show love ( they DF )

  See where this is going?

  If they cannot see this, you're facing an uphill battle.

  When they question you on doctrine ( is the BG directed by holy spirit and leading the ORG or other crazy stuff. 1914, overlapping generations, etc ), say you don't know the biblical answer or understand.
  

  Ask them to show you the truth from the bible. It will soon become evident that they DO NOT have the answers or the backing they claim to be loving followers of Christ.

  The hard part is preventing them from 'teaching you' from the WT publications. Tell them you know what the WT says, but need to see the truth clearly from the bible alone.

  Hope that helps.

  Also, be patient. It may take years.

  I'm getting baptized

  i know i've started similar topics before but this time i'm serious.

  my parents have been constantly pressuring me and after yesterday's watchtower study they asked me if i was going to be baptized this summer... and i said yes.

  i probably should have thought about it more before making a final decision, but they're pretty much forcing me to do it anyway.

  more light for our ex jw members.... http://www.extj.com/showthread.php?27719-the-show-of-apple-jam-by-president-s-brother-the-accounting-chaste.

  in patterson there is a group of brothers, all of them baptized after 1975, a group of them are candidates to all new gb membership, as soon as new places will be included or some members will passed away.

  clear details and info tell us that a new gb will be a us citizen with mexican background.. really funny to see that we can give light to our ex jw family months before it comes public :).

  Gorby says goodbye

  my eyes for ttatt opened in 1995 with the generation change and the wt magazine stated "some witness thought that the generation started in 1914".

  since 1997, with internet at low speed, i followed h2o hourglass, www.xjw.com and later on www.jehovahs-witness.net.. did a bachelor and post bachelor since then.. now, nearly completed with fading, i feel it's time to go on with my life and do some other things, spending more time with my wife abd children instead of thinking about jw topics in my head.

  goal is being a better person and less grumpy at 45.... everything what could be said is already said.

  i'm a postman with the royal mail and was assigned to train a new starter yesterday.

  my line manager introduces me to 'dave', within seconds my jw radar was on maximum!

  in his mid to late 30's, politely spoken and with that haircut - i just knew it.. the post he'd applied for was saturdays only, he said he did a lot of volunteer work.

  Please keep track of your service time!

  Seriously do.
  It would be very interesting if he learns TTATT, how many hours it takes.
  

  I'm guessing, ten?

  you brothers who gave talks do you thinks about the crap you spoke from the platform.. thirty years old, no knowledge what so ever of the world we live in, barely making the grade.

  to graduate from high school, a year and half in jc college and now with schooling of jw higher.

  I don't have what it takes to review them.

  Too painful.

  LEARNING how to HATE is a Jehovah's Witnesses' "Christian" duty!

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  note:.

  one out of every 100 jehovah's witnesses is tossed out and 2 out of every 3 are never reinstated.

  the law of the land and god’s law through christ forbid us to kill apostates, even though they be members of our own flesh-and-blood family relationship.

  Then they take it a step further and try to pretend that shunning=love.

  Thanks for the read, Terry.

  "Make America hate again"

  by MarkofCane in

  1. social
  2. current

  “trump is predicting he’ll be able to do all these things, but his workload will be pretty enormous and his power would be so limited by precedent, by the bureaucracy, by the constitution,” said robert dallek, a presidential historian.

  “even in trade and immigration, where trump says he will make revolutionary changes, congress has a say on those things.

  a lot of people have a say.

  This will be a awakening trigger for many that meditate on the obvious use of funds missing on pages 200-201.

  In smaller print is a HUGE LIE:
  " All donations are used exclusively to support Kingdom Interests"

  There are 8 main components shown under, "Where do our donations go?".
  All areas have been SIGNIFICANTLY downsized or eliminated, yet the ORG is broke?

  They do not include:

  1. Pedophile victim payouts and other legal expenses

  2. Hazardous waste abatement

  3. WT Corp expense account and travel expenses

  4. Investment losses

  --

  There are so many hidden expenses that are destroying their bank accounts from the inside out.
