losch's refusal to appear in court when subpeona'd to give testimony before a judge over his involvement in child abuse cover up and endangerment lawsuit .
i think such conduct should take away his freeness of speech and label him as a supreme hypocrite for giving such a talk about letting one light shine when he seems to be afraid to let his light shine in a court of law.
this man's hypocrisy knows no limits, and is extremely shameful.
Gerrit Losch is the biggest pile of excrement/feces/s**t ever produced by another human. And just in case one of your cronies trolls this site. Here it is in your native tongue:
Gerrit du scheiße sind und Ihr Tag wird kommen . Sie können , dass an die Bank zu nehmen. Du Heuchler.
Yes, but it can be described as psychological warfare.
I won't go into a lot of detail due to reasons I can't explain here. Let me say this though; the WTS has methodically physiologically conditioned its members for many years now. And it all commences the moment you accept a book study. The meetings are of the utmost importance due to the reinforced positive conditioning that must take place. This is a form of operant conditioning which is necessary in order to continue the control over the members.
This is one of the reasons the WTS tells its members that attending the meetings is a life or death matter.
I hope this answered your question.
please be aware of everything that is happening around the world at this moment in time.
this goes to anyone, ex-communicated, removed, serving, believer and non.
at this point in my observations i have realized many religions/ideologies know there is some sort "end of time" or a transition into a new order of living in this earth.
i am jehovah's witness, despite some of the questionable teachings, crimes, and other outlandish behaviors of specific people affiliated with the religion.
i know that my relationship with jehovah is not influenced by any outside factors.
i do not condone any crime.
LovesJehovah - I understand you would like to share stories and exchange pleasantries with other like minded individuals. Unfortunately, there are some problems with your approach. The Bible is clear on sexuality, smoking bud, and worship that is tainted.
You do know that Satan also transform into an angel of light for the purposes of deceit, right? (*hint*car+water+moon).
I also still believe in God and His Son and that in the future we will live as originally planned. I agree with many of the members on here regarding the Biblical discrepancies and God qualities that seem barbaric at a minimum. Yet the Bible's message when taken as a whole, does offer hope to those with faith in Christ and what he did. Instead of promoting love of God, you should promote love for Christ and God. Jehovah, someone else mentioning, is a Catholic monk's error and thereby the name or pronunciation came into existence. The governing dummies have taken the mispronounced name of God (should be Yahweh) and have mentally enslaved members to THEIR interpretation of the Scriptures.
To come on here and try to get members (forum/JW) to say something positive about the name 'Jehovah' is going to be a tough sell. This is due to the abusive nature in which the governing dummies have taken that name.
While I respect you as a person, you can't pick and choose to start threads imposing rules without actually owning the site. Just saying ;)

I haven't read through all of them but you must have said something positive about the Organization.
Just a shot in the dark. :)
okay i was talking to an elder and he said me going to university was a bad idea and i should have listened to the society and not gone.
but i said that when i went to university the watchtower was saying it might not be a bad idea to go to, as long as you do it for the "right reasons", don't associate with worldly people, and keep clear of "damaging ideas".
but basically they said it was okay, in this "changing world" and job market to go to university.
The elders and spiritually anal retentive brethren will initially frown upon college enrolled/seekers then come around and try to use them for the nice things they acquire later on DUE to that college education.
Hypocrisy knows no bound.
a new montra that was recently adopted by the wife and i is this:.
dont give them more power than they deserve.. here's why i say that, and i point this to those of you still in the congregation, still trying to decide what you want to do.. recently, our family had a little family reunion gathering of sorts, and we were in the company of some extended family that were either df or da, to varying degrees.
we made it very clear, to any and all in attendance, that we wanted to be respectful and kind, despite any previous perceptions about our "status".... and that our feelings on a lot of things had "softened", and "changed" over the last 2 years.. i am being purposefully slightly vague, but i think you get the point.
Great thread & you did the right thing. ... i was just thinking of how to respond myself to elders when they question you for not being at all the meetings & service? Any advice?
Use their own stupid logic against them.
Pull out the 2014(?) yearbook and show them the GB opening letter where it clearly says that no one is master over our faith (quoting Paul's words) but rather it is of OUR doing.
Simply speaking: Shut the hell up and mind your business!
my middle brother called me a couple of hours ago.
our youngest brother, josh, who was 38, was found by his friends in his apartment.
he hung himself.
I'm so sorry Rich. May you have inner peace as you and your family deal with these horrible news.
Those snakes will pay one way or another. They'll pay.

Sorry WiFi Bandit, I could only stomach until the halfway before I began to feel nauseated. So I guess Jehovah's holy spirit went on vacation for a full 75 years.
My apologies guys, but at this point in time I must call it the way I see it:

The more recognition and acknowledgement members give the elders the more they believe it. Therefore, my point of view is to do the complete opposite. The more prestigious the title the less I think of you. I treat the lowliest friends as if they were royalty.
