wt publications http://www.a2z.org/wtarchive/archive.htm (old).

united nations http://www.randytv.com/secret/unitednations.htm.

newly baptized brothers (not sisters) because the wts needs men to reach out.

LOL!!! Ding's comment is spot on and funny.

Today, an elder asked me if I had studied this WT and I said no and he started having pep talks about how there's a need for young men to serve and I told as I have told before that I don't want any "position" in this org and that's MY personal decision. He then said that means i am opposing Jah. I was like whaaat. I still told him no doesn't seem like opposition to me...he sounded offended.

Why do they like making everyone who doesn't have a "privilege" guilty? Makes me sick. Nothings good enough. You must grow endlessly to your full potential...as if spirituality is a competition

An Open letter to the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses (Elders/ Ex-Elders)

if you are an elder or an ex-elder please add a comment.

i hope that the governing body will see this.

it is too bad it has to be on an anonymous forum.

This is a brilliant letter! Salute to you former elder who wrote this letter. You are honored with the badge of upholding the principles of the bible as against principles of men! Oh what a cult I was born into. :(

How Did A Proven "Fake," "Phony" Arrangement ["governing body"] ...Become The "Faithful & Discreet Slave" Arrangement???

by Littleleslie in

question:.

how did a proven "fake," "phony" arrangement [like "governing body" arrangement]...become the "faithful & discreet slave" arrangement???.

so then if it can be proven, the "governing body" term and arrangement is a farce, a fake, a made-up nonscriptural arrangement itself, (made up and concocted by nathan knorr & frederick franz in 1944) then how can this fake arrangement now suddenly become the "faithful & discreet slave" that jesus spoke of?

crazyhorse

I tried explaining the flawed logic behind this governing body arrangement to my JW cousin and sister and I was amazed at the level of mind control they are in. Every reasoning they gave was because of the watchtower and they didn't even know it. They just couldn't see that the circumsion issue led to an ad hoc committee being formed to address that particular issue. Just simple contextual logic, they couldn't fathom. That tells you the sheer amount of control Watchtower has over innocent peoples minds

for those still "in" what's the mood

by lastchance in

in my area the general sense is bleak.

many are in survival mode.

even at the convention the appearance of the majority was unhappy and tired.

crazyhorse

I'm still in. In my Cong, its all made up of hypocrites and attention-seeking people who come to put on a show in the Cong. I do have nice friends there and yes because I'm a born-in I go to meetings like it's a ritual just like any other christian. It's no different from when I was born except that I'm "awake" to reality.

Welcoming International Delegates for London 2014 IC

by Da.Furious in

i had the pleasure of joining jw's on the weekend to greet the international delegates who are attending the london 2014 international convention at twickenham.. nothing interesting, just waiting for someone with a badge to come through the doors and all will cheer!

the interesting part is how they are behaving:.

1- the overseer: looked really bored, trying to impress surroundings by talking loud and how he can talk to immigration and check on passengers.

crazyhorse

All these nice people being controlled by 7 or 8 men....appalling. The love they think their showing is a "forced love" not a real love

My JW friend turned down the "privilege" of working the literature table at the park. Why?

by MissFit in

i have written before about my jw friend that plays hookie with me on sundays.

we skip the meeting and go straight to lunch and margaritas.

she converted later in life and has been a jw for over 25 years.. she is in her late 70's and has had heart problems.

crazyhorse

I like this old lady!. The metropolitan witnessing thing is pointless to me. All the pioneers do is all day and some even sleep . and at the end they get to write many hours and books just to show they are doing the "greatest work" ever. Smh. Didn't Jesus say not to show your righteousness on front of people?

Give me a reason not to go back

by chukky 594 in

jw

been out now for 10 yrs but life is a mess.

starting to think its because i have no spiritual compass.

why shouldn't i consider going back?.

crazyhorse

I'm thinking you think your life is a mess because your whole life and contacts revolved around the watchtower and because of that strong connection it seems to you you are really missing something. But the thing is, many JWs have messy lives. A messy life is independent of religious organization. But, if you really think you want to go back its your choice. But for me, learning about the real truth has given a sense of inner peace through Jesus. I hope you find that, any choice you make. In the end it's your personal conscience that should guide you whether to go back or not, weighing all the costs and benefits to YOU.

Will the WT get a twitter account?

by bohm in

jw
friends

with the recent success of the website which really seem to be working beyond at least my expectations, will the wt get a twitter account in the near(ish) future?.

those who guess right win the bragging rights.

my guess is no since twitter invite to much discussion, however they will eventually jump on a popular twitter-like social media service when one arise that is more easily controlled..

crazyhorse

Lol. I've also speculated on them having Facebook or twitter. If they really want the preaching work to go on well, they really have to explore these avenues. But as they fear apostates so much I don't think they'll ever do it. They always want to be different .

Hello JWN! Im a 22 yr active JW and I recently realized the truth about the truth. Im from an african country where most people dont think critically and just accept things as they are without questioning. I am a born-in, JW and was also a mindless drone till my time in college. Now I see why they hammer on the higher education thing. All along from childhood I had doubts but suppressed them with: "We are the only ones who preach and light gets brighter and all that stuff..... .But during university I found myself asking lots of questions and I prayed to God to let me serve him with my heart not because I have been told to. All what I have seen with my eyes in the org has proven otherwise from what they claim to be. I am fatherless and the elders have no clue how to provide fatherly love. All they care about is how many hours you put in and what " spiritual goals" you had and how the WT can make use of you. I was surprised only those outside the org were able to show me genuine love and affection. All the hypocrisy, lack of love, fakeness, seeking attention, a**-kissing, politics, double standards, flip flopping doctrines, thought-stopping techniques, and shallowness of elders and MSs have shown me this org is not directed by any holy spirit as they claim. I couldnt believe it when I realized the sheer amount of control I and other JWs are under. One elder even told me He has to be loyal to the governing body. Ugh that was stupid. "They don't even know him to know you". I then realized how the GB has equated themselves with God. What a Shame. I have a lot to write but I don't want to bore you.....bottom line: I'm glad I've awaken and I have an enormous amount of peace in me without fear and guilt. I'm thankful to the numerous websites like this one that have validated my doubts. For now i have to stay in cos the cost of leaving is too big for me to carry. My whole family is strongly in it and there is no way I can convince even one of them of the illusion theyre under. I'll wait till I leave the country or I become very independent PS: any other person from an African country here?
