  roll call for the benefit of newbies and lurkers.

  Memorial

  by whatisthis12 in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  so i’ve been dating my boyfriend for over a year.

  he left the jehovah witness community and we have been living together for one year.

  he hasn’t kept in contact with his family because he was disfellowshipped and hasn’t gone to any meetings.

  you could go to the " memorial " by yourself. you would be made welcome. then you can experience just what a boring waste of time non-event it is. i doubt you would ever set foot in a kingdom hall again.

  Make the Truth Your Own

  by neat blue dog in

  this is something that hit me just relatively recently.. the phrase "make the truth your own" is a very famous catch phrase in jw culture.

  it was a pet philosophy of daniel sydlik and has been used and is used in talks, literature and song.

  every witness knows this trope.

  How long is a generation?

  by LevelThePlayingField in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  what splain does in his talk and chart illustration is make the leap that a generation can have two groups.

  and in this case the two groups span more than 108 years.

  but no where in scripture is there ever a notion that a generation has two groups.

  Is "fornication" still used by Witnesses?

  by careful in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in 2013 the revised nwt came out and changed the old edition's "fornication" and its related words "fornicating," "fornicator" etc.

  in all their roughly 70 occurrences.

  has the word completely dropped from usage in the witness world?

  Jehovah's Witnesses Exposed in UK

  by opusdei1972 in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  this is a peruvian newspaper where today it has published that 100 witnesses were victims of abuse in the organization in uk and were silenced by the leadership.

  may be those who know spanish here can translate it.

  i think it is very important that these kind of news are being propagated.

  i have to make a token appearance at the k.h.

  once a month or so and this week went to a different hall.

  and believe me they are all still totally oblivious to all the negative news about the pedophiles and shunning that have come under scrutiny by the media and other governments.
