Tired of the truth... Tired of doubting

by Deltawave in

i'm reaching out here, i've known ttatt for about 3-4 years now.

sadly when i first grasped it i had a total mental breakdown as i was a hard core firm to the core pioneer and 110% believer of my faith.!

now nearly 2years on after my breakdown i still have to attend to please my jw wife.

Hello Deltawave - I can certainly understand your thinking, feelings, and anguish. I've been there and it's not a pleasant place. Take courage my brother! You are actually obeying Jehovah God in that you do not fear or adhere to the false teachings of the WTS. Keep your faith and pray to Jehovah for comfort.

You are certainly not alone at all. Think of Jeremiah, Jonah, Noah, and Lot, and plenty others who were basically in the minority in their thinking and outlook and they were heavily persecuted and ridiculed.

There is no better feeling than to be on the side of righteousness. Be well friend.

First post I’ve seen where a Circuit Overseer is trying to denigrate the Royal Commission. Are these new instructions from WT?

Had you thought of feeling sorry for the G.B?

by The Rebel in

jw
friends

i only bring this to the board, because a friend of mine once said he felt sorry for the footballers who made so much money.

that comment stayed with me, and over the years,the more i thought about that comment the more i agreed with him.. i admit the g.b destroy people's life's and are the sublimation of all that's good in people's life.

there only excuse is a fantazy asylum they claim to believe in.

Tenacious

I feel sorry for them in the sense that they are my fellow man. Therefore, as a true Christian, I have an obligation to love them whether I like it or not. Doesn't take away from the fact that I can call them hypocrites just like the Christ did with the Pharisees, Scribes, etc.

by EndofMysteries in

got a call from a relative that i should go to the meeting this sunday because something major to be announced.

(they were told it has to do with branches closing down, missionaries being sent home, etc).

i said it's probably money.

Another scare tactic and guilt trip to make the brethren send in all they got and to prostitute themselves if need be as the GB is in dire need of money ......*cough*bullsh**cough*

It must be a concern of all the information that is now been leaked

by joe134cd in

i have put up previous posts about this in the past, but i just thought that it was worth mentioning again.

it has to be of concern to them with how quickly information is getting leaked.

hell it even surprises at just how slowly information spreads by offical means.

Tenacious

I would consider a good 'leak' to be something that can potentially be damaging to them. Just leaking information ahead of the official scheduled release date or 'elders only' leaks can help 'if' they expose them for something illegal, unethical, or not biblical. Otherwise it's just getting information ahead of time.

Now, if someone, can pull a Snowden on the WTS, I'll be the first to send them a fine bottle of whiskey.

Looking at the pics of Warwick... I'm chocked.

by StephaneLaliberte in

i am truly chocked and baffled by the number of volunteers they got for this project; especially in the states.

looking at one of their articles on the matter, they stated that a large portion of the printing work was delegated to other locations than ny, thus, they did not need as much space as they did in ny.

also, it was stated that operation cost in nyc were expensive.

Tenacious

People with Confirmation Bias will never see the WTS the way most of us on this board do.

The sad reality is 99.9 % of witnesses will do anything the WTS asks them to do short of going home and taking their own lives.

I went down in the first Round!

by John Aquila in

there is a visitor brother in town and from what ive been told, he has been a missionary for many years and they were having a get together for him.

i took my mom to that get-together yesterday and stayed for a few minutes.

i heard a group around a table with the visitor brother talking about how hard it was getting in the world with so many distractions and that many of the brothers were falling into the trap and leaving jehovahs organization.

Tenacious

The monkeys circling him and catching his drool may have been clapping and cheering.

Yet, I wonder how they will feel when Jehovah starts to reveal and strip away what the WTS truly is. I'm sure they won't be clapping or cheering or screaming.

Instead they will foolishly look in the mirror and ask themselves:

How?

Elder gossip

by Jumongi in

i'll try to keep this short.

my experience at the hall is elders not really engaging in friendship building communication with anyone.

the only time they really communicate with you is to counsel you or tell you where you need to make adjustments.

Tenacious

All the time Jumongi, all the time. The majority of elders, I stress the majority as there actually is some very kind and considerate ones (true Christians), tend to only seek you out when you have done something wrong or to lecture you or to slave over something they don't wish to do.

The elders derive their power from those that give it to them.

No acknowledgement. No power. End of story.

Right everyone watch this video its insane!

by username in

i'm just watching this video.

now bare in mind this guy has never been a jehovah's witness so he has no investment in this cult.. https://youtu.be/_ry-onhbkya.

Video is down for the count. Doesn't matter as many commented on his credibility. I agree. The WTS does not prohibit alcohol. That is unless the we've entered Prohibition again. Hahahaha
