Today's Text - Justifying The Increase Of Annointed Ones!

by Divergent in

thursday, august 31. jehovah knows those who belong to him.—2 tim.

2:19.. in recent years, we have seen an increase in the number of those partaking at the memorial of christ’s death.

that trend contrasts with the decrease in the number of partakers that we saw for many decades.

There weren't hundreds of thousands of Christians in the first century.

how do you know that slim ?

Ex-JWs In The Dating Scene - It's A Whole New Game

by pale.emperor in

since leaving watchtower it still strikes me as odd how little i knew the real world and how it works.

i thought i knew how it worked but it turns out i didnt.

as jws we were always "courting with a view to marriage".you go on one date with a girl and everyone's expecting you're gonna marry her?

WTBTS of Britain selling another Kingdom Hall

by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

while having a sojourn in se england yesterday (bank holiday weekend) i noticed this a few meters from the entrance to richmond park.... .

this is the kingdom hall of the richmond park congregation of jehovah's witnesses.

i checked the website of the estate agent (bonsors) and there is no mention of the property or the price.

it looks more like the kingdom lock up industrial unit of jehovah's witnesses. its a disgrace. no wonder the mothership wants rid of it.

as ive mentioned before--the local kh near me has sold--asking was ££ half a million.

i had a nice old couple door knock a few weeks back,---so i asked them what will happen to the money--they replied it will be used to build halls in africa.

half a mill builds a hell of a lot of mud and straw shacks.

How to disorder a JW (family) chat

by Gorbatchov in

we all know the moment that a nice family chat is moving to the propaganda game.. sister in law saying that jw.org is the highest ranked website, cousing saying that the new hq is energy neutral, aunt stating that jw have the best education.... what can we say on these moments?.

that br splane just likes these new light ideas?.

that a jw.org video stated that jw use the name jehovah because people recognize this name?.

if a bro started using the name yahweh would he be branded as apostate ?

Let's talk about Blood again....

by stuckinarut2 in

i know we have all talked about this topic before, but for some new ones on the forum, or to refresh ourselves, i wanted to start this thread.. the society likes to go on about the sacredness of blood, and how it should not be transfused etc.. they liken it to a symbol of life itself.

something that should be respected and therefore not transfused.. but, what is more important: real life, or a symbol of life?.

an illustration came to mind.. if we give a bunch of flowers to a loved one as a symbol of our love for them, are those flowers more important than the love itself?

stan livedeath

it was the blood issue that got me out of the cult. back in the day--the society "suggested" we each make our minds over about this.

well--in 1971 my-then wife--a born in--was preggy with our first. i thought long and hard about the blood transusion issue should it turn out that way. i realised i could never risk my child--or my wife's life--even if god commanded it it was then i faced the fact i did not believe in god anyway--and therefore had no business being a witness..

i remember the day i quit. i was supposed to do the sunday public talk that afternoon. a phone call--and a visit to our congregation overseer--a former branch servant i had a lot of time for---i explained my feelings to him--and he suggested i back right out for a while--and think it all over. he did my talk that afternoon.

Trouble in paradise!

by Confusedalot in

just for fun, some thoughts about the paradise teaching:.

will all the carnivores be transformed anatomically?

if a lion is transformed into a herbivore would it still be a lion?

dont worry--the watchtower is full of shit.

chapter 23.

in 1970 i saw a move that changed my life forever.

which looking back, would have been a total blessing from god.

Sounds like a lot of misfits end up in Bethel (excluding you new boy).

This would all make a great sitcom.

the whole jw cult is one great big sitcom. if a film were made about it--not that many joe publics would watch it--no one would believe it. total farce.

My return to the WT...a terrible mistake

by JustHuman14 in

i haven't posted for quite a bit, decided to share my thoughts on this one, so it is a reference topic for anyone who decides to return back to the org, knowing all about the tatt.

being way for quite long for almost 15 years and all wt's activities, i have missed quite a lot including the "new light" latest updates, i found it quite hard to follow up what was going on to the meetings.

new songs, wt broadcast, videos, internet (so wt now is in favor of the internet) cartoons, and everything seemed completely new and weird to me.. reason for going back it was the severe pressure from close family members to return back to the "truth".

human 14--you have decided to go back--? so--not reinstated yet then ?
