"Jehovah clearly answered my prayer!"

by stuckinarut2 in

so the fade is progressing well.... however, it has been noticed by the 'hounders', who i know will be "following up" with us soon i'm sure.. so i have thought of a way of shutting down the questions etc.... if they ask about things like meeting attendance and field activity, i am going to say something like:.

"oh, thanks for your interest and concern brothers.

this means a lot.

stan livedeath

i like it.

the great vacuum in outer space answered your prayer.

just make sure you have that idiot grin and glazed expression when they call--then they will know youre genuine.

Divine Name in the First Century

by freemindfade in

during the watchtower today while there was so much pontificating on the first century christian movement, i was wondering what would happen i asked your run of the mill r&f how paul and others would have been pronouncing the divine name?....

yes god's name, something witnesses claim was so critical.

but the absolute fact of the matter is that no christian was saying the name jehovah at all, period.

as hebrew is read from right to left ----i.e backwards----shouldnt god be called huwie ?

Today's WT

by OneFingerSalute in

so today's wt seems to put out the idea that during early christian times it was god's hand that made the romans build roads, have strong laws, etc.

to make the preaching easier.. anyone else notice that?

some here really banged on about how great it was that god did that, just for them.

by Ashley L. in

i am seriously considering disassociating myself.

i want to do this because i no longer consider myself one of jehovah's witnesses.

i no longer consider jehovah as my god and i am in a new religion now.

i disassociated 40 years ago. i lost my kids.

I've just been disfellowshipped!

by maksutov in

apparently it was announced last night.

i was not informed (for 'legal reasons'), but they phoned my dad and told him.

i understand it is due to my apostate book.

hey Mak---are you aware of our facebook group for Uk ex jw's ?

i like your username--its almost like my real name !

on a sad note--my ex wife--a born in--totally shuns our 39 y o d/f son. she will miss out on being a grandmother to his new baby--due any day now.

What if we could bring down the WBTS?

by derangedjdub in

what would be your plan or ideal reason the walls came crashing down?

stan livedeath

Jehovah's Witnesses and the doctrine would still continue for many many decades.

i dont think it can continue in its present form or strength. us older generation are fast dying off--and the young ones are far too internet savvy so to swallow much cult crap as they grow up.

i'm quite new to this site, & have realised some members have a union jack symbol under their avatar.

i don't.. could we have a "show of hands" from any uk members?

i've already found several by reading older posts..
