  i was told there was new light by a former jw.

  i wanted to verify if it was true.

  the new light claims the annointed class/144k is always male.

  Anointed (144K) = Men and women.

  Faithful and discreet slave = Only men, but also anointed.

  It came in today's mail

  by Virgochik in

  it came today, the dreaded envelope containing my personal copy of "return to jehovah" from my elderly, desperate mother.

  it included a small note asking me to read it over and to let her know what i think.

  she got it at her assembly.. firstly, i'm angry that she continues to push her religion on me, given that i stopped attending meetings over thirty years ago, and very offended that she assumes that i still want to be a witness, which is her choice of religion, not mine.

  If your mother is really elderly and desperate....and you have this relationship with Jesus and are happy......then why are you even letting it get to you? Give you elderly mother a break. Its coming from a place of love. She isn't the watchtower brand. She is just your mom.

  If you want you can call her, thank her for thinking of you, but let her know that you won't read it. I offered my mom a deal once. I'll read whatever you want sincerely and with an open mind, if I can send you some critical literature I already have verified isn't full of misquotes and untruths, and she can do the same.

  We already know where that goes. then change the subject. Talk about life, your family....the things her authentic self want to really talk about anyways. I find the conversations always go JW when there is nothing else to talk about!

  Will The WT Corporation Be Faced With More Civil Lawsuits Be Filed And Won Over Emotional Pain And Suffering Caused By Shunning World Wide?

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  the way society today is become more and more sensitive about social wrongs like child abuse, mistreatment of gay people, discrimination and things that cause psychological harm etc....to me spell doom for the wt corporation in the courts as the record is clear to judges and juries that the wt corporation is an abusive cult that needs the law systems to bring them to accounts $$$$ for their cruel treatments to minors and anyone they deem "mentally diseased" and avoided because they found out the wt corporation is a web of lies and deceit.. i feel we are in the very beginning of the end and the lawsuits will pile up to the point of bankruptcy for these abusive crooks..

  Fox news does all of those things....and they thrive!

  No but really. In the end people shun their family because they are taught that is what God wants them to do. It isn't a crime, and isn't something that can be sued over. We have been down that road before. It would only feed into the persecution complex and fulfillment of the "doing away with religion" thing. JW's will exist, and varying degrees of success, and are trying to re-write their history.

  I don't think we are at a tipping point. Not at all.

  Children of murdered Charleston minister have "already forgiven" their Mother's killer.

  i'm not judging these poor young people, if this is how they are coping with the trauma of losing their mum i can only wish them well.

  i have to admit though that my jaw dropped when i first saw this interview, i couldn't square their reaction with what i understand as 'normal' human grief.. is this religiously motivated form of forgiveness a positive thing?

  should i acknowledge this as something to be said in favour of religion?.

  Their forgiveness s a way of coping. Of course its a good thing. Nobody can sit in judgement of their reaction, they are the ones that just had a loved one gunned down.

  i just got a call from a friend who informed me that a brother whom i've known for a while and is an elder, just found out last night that his wife of 20+ years declared she was gay, and left him..

  i still need to confirm but my friend is very reliable and was close friends with the family.

  heres the thing, she spent 20+ years with this man, has children with him and now decides she wants to follow her heart.

  Christians not knowing the Bible

  last night a young man in a bar struck up a conversation with me.

  our town is having our pride parade soon and he brought it up, the bible and how it's against the bible.

  me being me, i said that i couldn't care less that it was against the bible and that it was a horrible guide for morality anyway.

  This. Was. Fantastic.

  I suppose the question is wether you believe the bible to be "authentic". In other words, do you believe the 66 books that make up the typical cannon are "inspired of God.." and all that. If so and you believe the instances in the bible many here have issue with to be true, than at the very least God has some explaining to do right?

  If not, then its an account of an ancient people not meant to be taken as...errr....gospel.

  Also.........................boobs.

  That is all.
