  was just doing a little research and stumbled across this archive of recorded public talks by co's, do's and governing body members from 1979 up to 2013. a fascinating resource for those who would like to research the doctrinal changes and possible flip flops over the last 30 years... http://printcentralandsigns.com/jwtalks/covisits/docovisits.html.

  What is your purpose or what do you wish to accomplish while a member of this board?

  when i joined this forum i was seeking more people who felt the same way i did in terms of seeing the jehovah's witness organization for what it truly was; a false prophet.. once i found like-minded members i slowly started to open up and participate more in trying to help others that were also exiting mentally and physically.

  today, i offer support to anyone who desires it regardless of what they believe or not believe.. so what is your purpose on this board?.

  support?

  committeechairman once said that he came here b/c official WT info is available here before the local elders get from "mother." So beside the shoulders to cry on, comrades to vent to, and so on, just from an info perspective, this site has great value.

  This is actually how I stumbled upon the site the very first time back some 10, 11 years ago. Reason was I had found out that the elders had a secret handbook. And that set off the very first inkling of curious doubts. Then the floodgates opened up when I started reading posts on here.

  When I first found out about all the discrepancies and scripture twisting I was in complete shock. When I verified everything I was reading on here I became depressed.

  Today, I feel a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders in that I no longer allow the WTS make me feel as if I have to do works in order to be saved. I also do not recognized ANY human authority. I'm more or less, biding my time until I make a complete exit.

  This is very, very true. That hold is what keeps so many trapped.

  The WTS is sinister and now that I've seen what they are trying to do with children and baptism, that speaks volumes. They are trying to trap the next generation so other zombie members can see the "growth" that Jehovah is causing. What a farce!!

  Are The Governing Body Anointed?

  by freemindfade in

  for any lurkers, i just want to put a thought out there for you.

  like me maybe during your life as a jw the "thing" that causes someone to know if they are anointed was always a bit of mystery, except to those who claimed they knew.

  i had heard it explained to me many ways, and like many things i just said "ok, well thats an answer... i guess".

  The way I understand it is they get an overwhelming feeling to be with Christ in heaven as if they belong there. Kinda like wanting to go back home after an extended vacation. I've heard that members will also get the same feeling as they read bible passages speaking of the calling as if they are reading a very personal letter from an intimate friend.

  This differs than the feeling when holy spirit is at work in someone. When the holy spirit is at work in someone it feels like an adrenaline rush where anything is possible. At least its felt like that for me.

  Sorry, didn't even answer the original OP question :-)

  The GB cannot possible have the heavenly calling with the way they have twisted scriptures and continue to promote false dates such as 1914 and the generation teaching, etc. Scripture is abundantly clear on this. Whoever speaks in God's name and it does not come to pass is a false prophet. I believe they are just holding onto power by force claiming something they are not. Power corrupts absolutely.

  In order for this to work and hurt the WTS it would have to be an exodus (no pun intended) from all states, all countries, etc.

  This to include elders, ms, publishers, overseers (if any), etc.

  Support? Leaks? Exposure? Venting?

  Trolling?

  after a long struggle with myself, i did send a sms to my mother this morning, telling her i didn't want to go to the meeting, and that i no longer believe in the organisation, don't really believe in god any more either but i put that out.

  i wrote about three things that i thought are obvious, the overlapping generation that doesn't make sense, the flood an the animals in australia- how they came there.

  and jw tv that makes them look as any other religion.

  I truly wish you the very best. I hope your mom comes around and actually recognizes the validity of your argument.

  Let the bible speak and leave the explaining to her.
