  What Does the WTS say is the mark for survival of Armaggeddon--Baptism

  if you have not yet come to know and to accept as a way of life the righteous decrees of jehovah, you have no time to lose.

  you must act quickly if you are to stand before jehovah’s executional forces with the mark of true christian identification.

  This made me puke even as a teenager. WT 63 2/15:

  Thus the more colorful the personality the more difficult for the holy spirit to saturate it fully. The colorfulpersonality has more need of self-control and must in particular guard against the snare of creature worship. Richness of personality seems to work against spiritual-mindedness, as the colorful person tends to lean more on himself, even as those who are rich in material things tend to put their trust in them instead of Jehovah God.—

  If shunning were no longer a JW policy, how many would leave the Org?

  by HiddenPimo in

  additionally - if this shunning rule was removed and everyone was made aware of the dirty secrets of the org.. (e.g.

  csa-arc / un membership / malawi - mexico contrast / etc.).

  would those leaving be higher?.

  I would sometimes get the occasional witness approach me and tell me that they were now going to shun me. I would always ask them what I had done to make them do such a thing. Not one of them could answer!

  Of course the actual "sin" committed is never mentioned when a DF'ing is announced. This gives the opportunity for one to exclaim: "What? You are going to pretend that I don't even exist and you don't even know the reason why? Are you content with that sort of justice?"

  Exit one miserable and confused dub...

  I never actually enjoyed being a witness much. I detested meetings and door to door work. I just regarded those activities as essential to my surviving armageddon. I was always full of guilt and ready to confess to anything so that I might be "clean in Jehovah's eyes" and not be destroyed. I had classic fear of abandonment symtoms. But all the same, I just didn't want it to be true. I guess I was subconsciously looking for a way out.

  The crunch came after one particular group night. We were studying a book - I forget which one - that was trying to interpret the prophecies of Ezekiel. It was just so stupid that I wondered what the hell I was doing in such a daft religion. I became a disbeliever overnight.

  I'd been in a grim marriage to a JW woman. I'd been "on the rebound" when we'd met. My life at home was shit.

  Within a couple of days, glimmerings of possibilties began to surface in my mind. No more meetings. No more door to door work. I could smoke a cigar. I could buy a gold Dunhill lighter and grow my hair long. I could play snooker and gamble on the outcome. I could go to a boxing match. I could get drunk. I could visit discos, x-rated films, celebrate Christmas and birthdays, join a squash club and, particularly, catch up with some recently disfellowshipped old friends.

  So I did all those things. I enjoyed them all hugely at the time.

  I have no regrets.

  Going To The Meetings To Give A Witness

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  e tricki've been tossing around the idea of perhaps going to a meeting in the future just to check things out i'm in no hurry this could happen months or years from now.

  i would like to give them a witness about some of the problems i see as a newly interested person checking things out.

  maybe just hanging back after coming to the meeting late and casually talking with people as a non pushy interested in what going on after some internet search led me to jw.org.

  Tried something similar many years back. I think that the smell of cigarettes, my shoulder length hair and the mini skirted bosomy lady alongside might have given the game away.

  this is a follow-on to my earlier post 'the slain of jehovah'.

  so we're sat in a cafe with my old friend of over 40 years, together with his wife.

  actually, it's 50 years.

  WT 1983 March 15 had this to say:

  As already stated, it is not for elders to "police" the private marital matters of couples in the congregation. However, if it becomes known that a member of the congregation is practicing or openly advocating perverted sex relations within the marriage bond, that one certainly would not be irreprehensible, and so would not be acceptable for special privileges, such as serving as an elder, a ministerial servant or a pioneer. Such practice and advocacy could even lead to expulsion from the congregation.

  Too damn funny! Parents pleading for their kids to return to Jehovah because the 8 Pharisees will now permit you to receive a blowjob, how priceless!

  it IS incredible. As Desirous of Change pointed out, many courting couples around that time were indulging in BJ's because they thought it was some sort of halfway-house for which one couldn't be disfellowshipped.
