Explain the Anthony Morris thing to me

by optimisticskeptic in

ok, so can someone explain with relative brevity what the anthony morris thing is all about.

i certainly don't miss the guy but would like as valid of an explanation as possible without a bunch of paranoid conspiracies that no one can verify.

as best as i can tell from cryptic comments on here is he is no longer on the gb but in a congregation in the carolinas somewhere.

we just dont know.

(where have i read that before )

Forget 1914, the 1975 generation are now passing away!

by nowwhat? in

we still have quite a few elderly here that came in as young families in the late 1960's-early 70's because soon, yes very soon they would enter the new system and never grow old.

it's now one year away from 50 years since 1975. just in the last couple years i've seen them come down with alzheimer's, cancer, brain tumors, becoming invalid etc.

the children of them that are now around 60 are just so distraught at seeing their parents deteriorate.

i was a very active pioneer / servant /blue eyed boy in the late 60s--1975 was getting closer every year. But by 72 i'd decided i had enough--and resigned. Suddenly 75 didnt matter any more.

niv.

gal 3.20 now a mediator is not for just one person, but god is one.

New light on shunning?

by Mikejw in

one theory why tony was booted out was because he was a stickler for not changing the shunning doctrine.

he actually said the words we will never ever change it.. they are slowly deleting all of tony’s videos and now losing court cases and losing government hand outs in places like norway.. it’s looking very likely they will release new light on shunning policy after losing this latest one in norway.. .

what are the odds they coincidentally get new light from jehovah and lighten up their shunning policy ?.

stan livedeath

it would be good if the shunning was relaxed--i would like to see my youngest son again before its too late.

For all JW's: Stop calling others "apostates."

by BoogerMan in

if you don't want to be thrown into gehenna, read what your own faithful evil slave & christ say:.

cj chap.

3 p. 110 chapter 3 - "jesus christ said: “whoever says, ‘you despicable fool!’ (apostate) will be liable to the fiery gehenna.” (matt.

yep--i was denounced as an apostate at their meeting ( i wasnt there ). I didnt know what they meant--but found--in reality--i was finally free of the cult. No more pointless waste of time meetings ( to appease the born in wife ) The truth had set me free! Thank you god X

Bible study

by GregT in

i used to attend the meetings and was baptized about 30 years ago but i haven't gone to the meetings or associated with any one i new from the congregation for around 15 - 20 years.

i want to get back to studying but i am not ready to go to any meetings.

other than the watchtower and awake what book is used these days for people just starting to study with jehovah's witnesses?.

stan livedeath

I don’t think watchtower is dying more like evolving.

ha ha--an excellent play on words.

welcome here. It looks like you really have been long gone.

There is no Awake! magazine any more .There are no midweek group book studies any more. There are very few new watchtower magazines printed now. Many kingdom halls have been sold off--the money goes to "the society"

Very little door to door work is done--and the witnesses no longer have to report any hours spent..

In so many ways its easier than ever to be a JW.

One cant help feeling the watchtower as a religion is dying.
