Positive: Learning the truth about Jehovah and Jesus, Satan and the Rebellion, Life and Death, World Conditions, the End Times, the Thousand Year Rule of Christ, the Resurrection, the Destruction of Satan and his Followers, Eternal Life and Peace with God.
Negitive: That God's present day people operate like a Cult!

Keep busy at the Kingdom Hall and in the field service. During your school years, share in the auxiliary pioneer service from time to time.
Only Field Service grows the congregation?? How about the good effect we have on people by living our daily lives as Jesus taught us...The Lamp on the Lampstand??
i have the old '97 version but i want the most current ammo, i mean info, for when i write to my brother soon.
so does anyone know how i can get my hands on the most current version.
(h) spend the rest of your life having your former friends act as if you are dead.Aint that the truth!
my boyfriend and i (or i should say ex-boyfriend.
) have been dating for about 5 1/2 months.
this is not a long time i know but within this time we had both fell deeply in love with each other, it was very fast and very strong, heartfelt and beautiful.
I am not sure what to do at this point. I have tons of his clothes here which I will ship to him- What I am debating on now though is all the love letters, cards, and all the pictures of us together, do I send them to her? I know he is not telling her or the elders the whole truth. Should I send the proof or should I let this go?
Send the proof!
He has spoken to me alot about wanting me to find the truth. We have read the bible together and he had gotten my interest up in the JW faith. While he was in Texas (I thought.) I decided to study a bit with a JW neighbor- Wanting to learn more and wanting to surprise him with what I have learned when he returned.
Accept Jehovah and His Son...Stay AWAY from His people!
so my ex emails me asking how i am doing and that he wrote to me a month ago he is not sure if i received it.
he sent it to two email addresses he must know i received it!!!
he has been emailing me asking me how i am since our break up.
You should mail this back to him.
I feel like whatever you didn't give a damn before now you care how I am. Get the hint I don't call you I haven't come back. I don't ask how you are. He wants me to miss him so I go back to him on what his terms he is a selfish self centered a**hole. He said that he thought I was coming back. Shows me how appreciated I was. There was no compromise nothing to work on. Basically he would never be there for weddings, funerals, holidays birthdays. It feels so liberating when you don't deal with someone elses crap. He acts like what he is offering isn't bad so i should just accept it. No matter what he knows the real deal. He said i would resent him, leave him and feel free. Well there you go he was right. Acting like he was torn with the JW stuff he didn't move on before he met me while he was with me and still hasn't, and he knew he didn't want to move on. Yet I was the only one there for him. The one that cared not like those people who disfellowshipped him 7 years ago. He really needs a lot of help!!
Make the changes so it reads right. Then forget him.
randy was kind enough to recently post my story on his website (www.exjws.net/pioneers/rjjw.htm) the response i received was overwhelming, with many invitations to join this discussion forum.
i won't go into my story, as it is posted and, as long as it is, is really only the tip of the iceberg.
the more i read and the more i talk to former jw's, the more i'm convinced that i have been duped..something i never thought would happen to me, as cynical as i am.
Howdy, from a Yank!
indeed, in his name nations will hope.
paragraphs 10-12.
paragraphs 16-17.
w82 10/1 p. 27 Be as Men Who Are Facing Har?Magedon Unafraid One thing is now certain: if the "prophet" class, the Jeremiah class, is facing Har?Magedon, it is also facing the fall of Babylon the Great. Most of those responsible to instruct the people?the prophets and the priests?were not on the side of truth. Hmmmm????.
Your absolutely right Blondie.
Identify harmful associations and shun them completely.Any thinking, questioning person that is! Anyone who DARES disagrees with the FDS!
What do you think he (Paul) would say to a Christian who watched immoral or violent movies or violent sports (like football and soccer????) How would he counsel a brother (sister?) pursuing friendships with total strangers on the Internet? What would he think of a Christian who spent hour after hour playing video games or watching television but did not have good personal study habits? Why do they pick Paul, why not Jesus? Why are only brothers mentioned pursuing friendships on the Internet?
Guilt, guilt, guilt?.
Another glaring example!
Sounds to me like the WTS/FDS is trying to plug the holes, the faithful are fleeing or at least slowing down. And the ones leaving in droves?"young ones."
I seldom disagree with you Blondie...and I wont here! Thanks for your efforts!
frequently, the watchtower will quote church fathers to try to justify its cult-like version of christianity.
a typical.
example is a recent watchtower that cites tertullian as evidence that christians did not eat blood ( june 15, pg 29).. .
"Adult baptism was not simply a question of religious dogma; it was an issue of power. If baptism was delayed until adulthood - thus allowing a person to make a decision based on faith - some might not get baptised at all. And that's exactly what it means to the Watchtower too, and why they persist in baptizing teenagers.
Wouldn't surprise me a bit!

present-truth chronology stands in a class by itself, absolutely and unqualifiedly correct...." (Watchtower, July 15, 1922 p. 217).
"The indisputable facts, therefore, show that the 'time of the end' began in 1799; that the Lord's second presence began in 1874." (WT March 1, 1922)
I'm sure GLAD they don't think like this NOW!!!
