  hi friends,.

  it's been awhile since i've been talkative.

  thought i'd give you an account of my latest family dysfunction.. a brief backstory is that i am an only child whose parents were born in jw's.

  This is very sad and further shows that WT is destructive and without any natural affection.

  Be glad you escaped.

  So, Anglo-American-Russian world power?

  by schnell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  wasn't russia strongly hinted recently to be the king of the north once again, as it tried to shut down the wtbts there?

  and isn't the king of the north said to lead a coalition of nations against babylon the great?

  so why is the king of the north allying itself with one half of the king of the south, the anglo-american world power?

  Ever hear the term: the launching pad?

  When a member of the anointed dies at JW HQ.
  I'm sure we've all heard variations of this.

  Are witnesses even trying anymore?

  by megaboy in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  havent had an encounter with a witness in a while, almost 10 years, though at this point i could run circles around them in the scriptures, this encounter was very strange.

  was eating with my son at a coffee shop, guy comes up using it as an opening.

  i'm use to this because people find my son beautiful so i was open to him.

  they know they are wrong.

  talking to you would confirm that.

  they hope to be right someday.

  Anyone else watching the Leah Remini series "Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath" on A&E?

  by NikL in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my wife and i started to watch this last night and have covered only 2 episodes so far but it is really interesting.. there are so many similarities between scientology and wt.

  not in beliefs of course but in their shunning, of their version of apostates etc.. it was amusing for me to see my active jw wife watch and get all indignant.

  at one point a statement was made that a religion "shouldn't separate families" and she muttered to herself "absolutely not".. i am kind of hoping that jws will watch and see what is being carried on by a high control cult and eventually recognize it in their own lives.

  Another "pull the football away just before you can kick it" comment made by Circuit Assembly's special guest, Thomas Chicky

  2. friends

  i started a thread on this guy's comments about building kingdom halls here.. the guy also said this (again, not a word for word quote, but the gist of his comments):.

  "the primary hope of salvation is the resurrection.

  jehovah does not promise anyone that he will survive armageddon.

  Many, after decades of being told Armageddon was soon and the preaching work was so important will fall back on the old favorite:

  Song Book changes and new light?

  by kairos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was just thinking, did new song books precede periods of jw doctrinal changes?.

  the latest songbook ( 2009 ) came out just before the maniacal rebranding of watchtower into jw.'org..

  what about previous generations?

  I believe the music is more important than we can imagine.
  People like singing and hearing music.

  I you take that from them, not only will they be upset, but I believe that the relearning the songs leaves them confused and subdued for fear of singing in error in front of everyone.

  This sets the stage for doctrinal change. What's one more little 'adjustment', right? Unfamiliar songs leave one discouraged and deflated, as their confidence and self esteem are lessened.

  By the time you figure it out, in my case, many years have passed.

  Think about this: If god is leading this, why does the music suck?

  ---

  Part of my awakening was because of all of the CHANGE.
  If we have the truth, why change it?

  Then there is the dumbing down of all the other things.
  The content of the literature is pathetic.

  It's embarrassing to review older WT mags and books and think that we thought this was not only scholarly work, but spirit directed. Yikes!

  When the last songbook ( 1984 ) arrived on the world scene ( I want this to sound dubby ) did it come before new and exciting revelations from the slave, that won't actually be appointed until after the great tribulation and not until they study the Feb 2017 WT, are not inspired...
