Beard's Coming to the Borg!

by DwainBowman in

wt sept study edition, page 17, paragraph 17!

.

Looks like tight pants tony got to oversee a study article.

I don't see the change here though. End of that paragraph sums it up by saying beards offend certain morons and we don't want to stumble them. True preachers wouldn't have them.

Business as usual. Carry on brothers.

Guess who is getting announced as no longer being a JW

not me surprisingly.

i thought i would be the one to go first.

this coming week my hubby is being announced as no longer being a jw.

Does your husband moonlight by chance? I see a side business opportunity for him.

I'd hire him to go to my family's house and do the same for my situation. I'd stand behind him and say "yeah!" every few minutes and then run out of the house before he was finished.

Great job. I need to have that discussion with my parents soon... My daughter is almost old enough for them to play Sophia videos.

I'm disfellowshipped BUT working my way back

i figured i would try this out.

i'm currently disfellowshiped but working my way back.

i was wondering if i am the only one?

Welcome to the forum. You probably are not going to get a lot of encouragement here towards going back to the organization.

Have you researched the witnesses? They protect child molesters and ruin families. They take scriptures and turn them upside down and on their side. They put a few old men on a pedestal and imply that everything they say is inspired by God. I could go on all day long and I'm not sure I would finish.

Do some research. Ask critical questions. Search this forum. Look up 1975, blood doctrine, child molesters & jehovah's witnesses. New generation understanding. United Nations and Jehovah's Witnesses.

YouTube has some great videos and experiences. One of my favorites is exjwcriticalthinking ( or something like that). Watch a few of those videos and then decide if you really want back into the organization.

Being df'd may be the best thing that could happen to you.

Hope the best for you.

This Thing That Was My Mother

by TimeBandit in

this thing that was my mother.

this thing that was my mother, so withered and blackened now,.

was once so kind and loving, but things have changed somehow.. remember when you'd hold me, and soothe my childhood fears?.

Thanks for sharing! You did a wonderful job expressing your emotions and it's so true. It's also quite disgusting and I'm so sorry this is your reality.

My wife just told me yesterday she would do the same to our daughter. Here is our beautiful little baby girl running around playing and her mom can sit there and say she would shun her later in life if it was "necessary". What a disgusting and vile cult.

Has your mom had the chance to read your words?

Today's Text - Fear Mongering, Great Tribulation, & New Light!

by Divergent in

jw
friends

a stupid text which raises many questions -.

sunday, june 26. there will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again.—matt.

24:21.. the earthly part of jehovah’s organization is moving ahead in various ways.

mikeypants

Wouldn't we all agree with the posts from One Eyed Joe and Divergent?!

Does the organization not make all us all gag with every new release and understanding?!

Do we not all shake our heads in disbelief that millions of sheep fully support this organization?

Let us all rejoice in the fact that we lifted ourselves up and pulled our heads out from our behinds!

Judge sanctions WTS - $4k per day penalty for not producing sex abuse documents

by Simon in

judge sanctions jehovah's witnesses.

imposes $4000-a-day penalty for not producing documents in sex-abuse case.

by dorian hargrove, june 24, 2016. a san diego superior court judge has ordered the church of jehovah's witnesses, also known as the watchtower bible and tract society of pennsylvania, to pay $4000 a day for every day that it fails to produce documents requested in a civil lawsuit brought by former parishioner, osbaldo padron, who claims a church elder sexually abused him when he was seven years old.. in a june 23 ruling, expected to be made final today, judge richard strauss admonished the church for willfully ignoring a court order to produce all documents associated with a 1997 body of elders letter that church leaders sent to parishes around the world in a quest to learn about sexual abuse of children by church leaders.. over the course of the past year, the watchtower society and its lawyers have fought hard to keep the letter confidential, claiming that turning over the documents would infringe on the privacy of those mentioned in the letter that were not associated with the case.. in march 2015, the church turned over a heavily redacted version of the letter.

Showed the wife this on her way out the door to the convention assembly regional cult fest this morning. Asked why does she think they are withholding the documents Ceasar is demanding. She said it makes since if they are appealing. Then asked why they would appeal and not just give him the documents to prevent any reproach on God's organization if there was nothing to hide.

The dog barked next door and she drove away.

This is proof that jdubs are being persecuted and Satan is indeed in control over the earth. The end is getting so close now.

Are we not ready to do more to serve jehovah during these final moments of this wicked system?
