  You know it's interesting that scripture clearly says in 1 Timothy 5:8 that "anyone [who] who does not provide for those who are his own ....... has disowned the faith and is worse than a person without faith."

  Scripture does say to put the Kingdom first and all other things will be provided. So the question begs, if being a zealous Witness gets you only as far as the Goodwill for the basics, then obviously, somehow their "worship" and putting the Kingdom first as a Witness, is not being blessed by God. Otherwise, Malachi 3:10 would apply where it says in part, "Bring the entire tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in my house; and test me out, please in this regard" .... "to see whether I will not open to you the floodgates of the heavens and pour out on you a blessing until there is nothing lacking."

  Bottom line, God does not approve of their worship when they are putting the GB first, who claim to speak for God, and His Son a distant, distant second. Again Christ says, " I am the bread of life". I don't know but it seems pretty clear to me.

  I had not yet viewed the videos until now.

  Your actions are certainly commendable in the spirit of Paul's letter to the friends in Philippi as he wrote:

  "I want you to know, beloved, that what has happened to me has actually helped to spread the gospel, 13 so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard and to everyone else that my imprisonment is for Christ; 14 and most of the brothers and sisters, having been made confident in the Lord by my imprisonment, dare to speak the word with greater boldness and without fear." ~ Philippians 1:12-14

  The only thing these disturbances do is get you a free ride to the nutty house with a thorazine drop.

  Coming to terms with the Watchtower experience

  by Lee Elder in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it is a challenge coming to terms with your experience as a jehovah's witness.

  if you were born and raised as a jw, and your parents were true believers, the impact on your life is profound, lasting, and largely negative.

  in some cases quite abusive emotionally, spiritually, financially, educationally and yes, even sexually.. i recently watched "trumbo", and was quite moved by dalton trumbo's speech to the screen writers guild in 1970. here is an excerpt that i think is quite relevant to this topic:.

  @ OP - I sincerely appreciate the information you have shared with us all but I have to respectfully disagree with you.

  If you listen to talks and commentary from the GB one can see that they are deliberate in their use of specific phrases that are used to elicit a specific physiological and psychological response. Simply speaking, they are using mind conditioning techniques on the members. Now the question begs, do they write their own speeches or is there someone else behind the curtain we cannot see?

  How My Husband Helped Me See TTATT

  i wanted to write my experience on how my husband helped me see the ttatt (the truth about the truth).

  first, let me mention that he wrote his own experience a couple months ago under the name sanchy.

  for his story please click here….. http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5148261828526080/walking-thin-line-resigning-elder

  He never criticized or put down the organization, GB, elders, etc. Very important since one is so sensitive to that subject when you believe they are directed by Jehovah.

  This is very, very important. Since the member is not able to distinguish or separate God from the Org. this is crucial to them even listening.

  I hope the best for you all, and I hope you all still keep your faith in God.

  Sad to say but you won't find any sympathy for this comment here. The majority of this forum, with all due respect, have tossed the baby out with the bathwater.

  New Light - Two Sticks in Ezekiel - July 2016 Watchtower

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ezekiel 37:15-17 prophesies about two sticks being joined together to become 1. one stick represented the two tribe kingdom of judah and the other stick represented the 10 tribe of israel (ephraim).

  the article explains how the coming together of these two sticks meant the reuniting of these tribes in 537 bce.the modern day fulfillment was previously taught to mean that the anointed had once again come together in unity in these last days.the july watchtower now explains that one stick, the stick of judah, represents the anointed and the other stick, the stick of ephraim, represents the other sheep.

  they further explain that since 1919 god's people have gradually reunited to become one flock.they are now saying that the other sheep are represented by 10 tribes of israel.

  It seems like they are preparing the "other sheep" to start partaking of Christ's symbolic body, the bread and wine, being that to continue to do otherwise would invalidate John's words and the fact that we are ALL part of the Christian Congregation which is represented by the body of Christ.
  

  The GB is finally grasping they are on the symbolic Titanic and unless they start coming clean (SOS call, giving everyone a life preserver, etc.) the ship will flounder. And it will, along with the captain and crew (GB, their helpers, committee's, committee helpers, CO's, etc.).

  It's too late for them as they have deceived far too many sincere people looking for Truth. Not only did they deceive but they were deliberate in their schemes and deceits. This is easily proven by their psychological tactics on the friends.
