3 missed calls from my jw brother last night.
i didnt answer because he's actively shunning me and when he does ring it always to preach to me about how we're so close to the end and how i should "humble myself before the mighty hand of god" .
he then texts me saying "we need to talk".
Let's see....enjoy life now, die later or spend eternity with a bunch of delusional nut jobs. I'll take the dirt nap. Lol
No man knows the day or the hour, but your sister has the inside track on Jah's time table? Your other sister must have a hotline to heaven, she already knows Jah's gonna destroy you. You can't make this sh@t up.

no mention whatsoever that it was watchtower themselves that strongly hinted towards this date.
instead they blame those who "put their trust in a date, not jehovah".. let's recap... .
LURKERS; IF THIS PISSES YOU OFF AND YOU ARE STUCK IN....VOTE WITH YOUR WALLETS!

This is happifying. What this shows us is, WT is hearing a lot about failed phophecy. Yes, they did push the 1975 thing. Our family was there at the time and will back it up. Not only did they blame others, they made sure they used the resurrection weapon. This is what keeps so many going back. Waiting on Grandma, Grandpa, mom, dad, kids and friends to return. It is a powerful weapon that works on most who have endured loosing a loved one.It is the only tool I think WT has left. These are desperate times for WT and it shows. Look at their theme for the 2017 RC...Don't Give Up? Really?
i think the finished mystery book probably contains the stupidest beliefs ever recorded!
almost any prophecy publication but especially anything to do with revelation, is unbelievable!
.
That the "Elders" are chosen by holy sprit! Not!
may 15, 2017 to all bodies of elders re: regular pioneers.
uk version.
I think it is easier to get into the FBI then becoming a pioneer. Rules, Rules and more rules. Only the "exemplary" may apply (or at least look exemplary). Spiritual by day a prescription drug abuser by night. lol
He must be exemplary (God...I hate that word).
Non "exemplary" brothers (the ones who get less than 10 hours in and can't seem to tow the WT line) can clean the toilets, clean the KH, come to the spring clean up, take the speaker out to lunch and donate for "kingdumb interests." Even though we have been taught that every task within the org is an equal "priviledge." Brothers who can't cut the mustard will have to sit out on "holy privileges."
I have always told my spouse that if the put a dirty toilet on the stage, during the assembly, all the Brothers would be rushing to the stage to clean it. It's all about "being seen." "Ok, looser Brothers, you can do the dirty tasks but we can't USE YOU for the important tasks."
WHAT A CLUSTER! There are 4 people in this family that can not be "USED" anymore! We voted with our feet and our wallet! Happier than ever!
on http://avoidjw.org/2017-regional-convention/ you can find the talk outlines of the regional convention this year.. i looked into the final talks each day and found these releases to be announced:.
on saturday:.
new magazine-size book entitled "lessons you can learn from the bible".
Don't forget David. He was "Jah's friend." He was a murderer & stole another mans wife. Lot's wife turned and looked at her stuff. So let me get this straight...Jah spared murderous/wife stealing David but Lots wife turned around and BAM...DEAD. Makes sense. lol
i've been lurking for about 3 months now and thought i'd better finally sign up.
you have all been an immense help to me as i have come to realize that this isn't the truth so i want to say a great big thank you!
what a crazy, emotional ride it is to finally face the truth about the doubts that i have carried for many years.
Stumpy
"We had big plans for the future and wanted to leave the past where it was."
Our thoughts exactly. Thank you for your comments above. I believe it was one of the most up building and well thought out posts.
My spouse and I are on the same page you are. Move forward, enjoy life (it truly is short and fragile).
Thank you again!
this was partly discussed in this thread: https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4853755331739648/these-common-jw-beliefs?page=2#!#5701815683252224 but i wanted to delve into the topic of yoga even further.. it seems watchtower have no clue what yoga actually is, or what it can achieve.
i myself dont practice yoga, but i do meditate and see the benefits of that.. here is an artical from watchtower 2002 with my commentary:.

"As far as books for children, they have pretty much given up recruiting adults so they need to stay current with new exciting stuff....or at least new."
Yes...the adults are not falling for it anymore so they have to go after the born ins. It's the only hope WT has (until those little ones figure out it's BS...most likely when they turn teen). People are leaving and dying, it's there only option. Door to door and cart witnessing are not working. Too many people are Googling Jay dub ya dot org and finding out the truth. IT'S A CULT!!!
