  Did you know anyone who commited suicide in the org?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  back in 1991, a young brother maybe 18 years old living next to my place committed suicide.

  his father expected him to be very zealous just like he was, but the son never wanted to be like that.

  he was always controlled by his father.

  Thanks for bumping this thread GM.

  These are the kind of threads that wake people up or at least make them see the reality of some inhumane WTS practices and where they lead to.

  What I would like to see soon!

  2. scandals

  i would like to see one or better two members of the governing body get disfellowshipped and they both go off to write books like ray franz exposing the cult to all the sexual scandals, the hidden agendas with the stock market investments, the lawsuits, the laying of long time bethel workers, hidden sins by the higher ups and all the other nasty skeletons in the watchtower closet..

  what would be different today compared to rays time is that we now live in a social media world..

  they would be invited to talk in the oprah winfrey show, ellen degeneres show, the view, dateline.

  I don't believe this would be possible today considering the GB knows the tremendous impact Ray Franz did to their movement. They probably have all higher ups (branch coordinators, bethel elders, committee members, and GB) sign a non-disclosure agreement or confidentiality agreement and extend this 50 years AFTER they leave if they are ever terminated, suspended, disfellowshipped, or made to resign.

  There are however, certain limitations in various country statutes that can make null or void depending on circumstances.

  That's my 2-cents. :-)

  i am not sure if it's true but i heard from a good source that wt has given instructions to elders to postponed disfellowshipping members from wrong doing/gross sin until further instructions given by headquarters.

  i heard some jws were just reproved either privately or publically.

  has anyone else heard anything like this recently?

  "Imitate Jehovah" CA Actually Didn't Have That Theme At All

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  just got back from "imitate jehovah" ca and noticed that the theme was never really used at all.

  all the talks were about family, preaching and getting along with others in the hall.

  they didn't once go over an account of how jehovah acted in the past and how we should imitate that action.

  You know the interesting thing about it all is that's exactly what flushed human perfection down the toilet.

  Because Satan wanted to imitate and be exactly like Jehovah!

  These morons don't know what other shenanigans to come up with.

  Critique of the lastest New World Translation?

  by dontfitin in

  hi, i'm a long-time lurker who is still in due to family.

  i'm hoping someone here can help me.. is there anywhere online that i can find a critique of the new bible revision?

  one of the things that really got me was when i researched about the new world translation and found how there was no basis for adding jehovah's name in the new testament, and then other areas where they translated to accommodate their interpretation.

  @ FayeDunaway - yeah, it truly is tedious work but well worth it. I got tired of hearing those maggots on the GB with other brothers parroting how great this translation was.

  Let's just say that as it stands right now, the translation is an injustice to the writers but more so to God who's Word they have clearly adulterated and poisoned.

  Crazy things said by Higher Rank Witnesses

  by GrownMidget in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it was the week when circuit overseer comes and my relatives wanted to offer the food.

  i had got my school friend, a muslim girl, going into the meetings and she actually progressed and went to the field service, but never got baptized and one day she just disappeared.well anyway, this overseer comes for the free lunch and then when we are sitting in the table with his wife and my relatives, the muslim girl comes as the subject.

  overseer throws out this absurd asshole joke that because their family doesn't like witnesses his father will come with a truck and drives it through the kingdom hall wall and then it explodes.

  Yeah, these CO's are nothing less than gum on the sidewalk for me.

  They come around real quick when they are no longer needed by the WTS. Then they act like victims the little turds.

  @ dontfitin - oh yeah, definitely keeping a log.

  I'll post my findings perhaps in about 6 months or so. I'm going to check the original language and note the intended expression and how this also compares with the RNWT. It may take me about 1-2 years to accomplish the Old Testament given other obligations. I'm working on the New Testament at the moment.

  What causes new light? Embarrassment, unsustainable doctrine, a desire to affirm FDS status or avoid liability??
