by Jehalapeno in

on december 12, 2015 this statement was made by the copyright holder:.

i am presently considering three different routes to publishing crisis of conscience.

i hope to make a decision within days and plan to publish within weeks.. it has now been 50 weeks since that statement.. has the book been published yet?

I can't believe that anyone would say to let sleeping dogs lie and besides, there's other books on the subject. Really? Are they written by former governing body members with great Biblical insight? We're not just talking any book here, we're talking the most influential book in helping people leave the cult. Until this person gets off their duff and gets this book out, long live piracy because it helps people and that's more important than a copyright someone is sitting on. Lives are at stake. COC was a huge help to my wife and I and I'm thankful that someone had pdf files and even an audio version. Changed my life for the better. Put the damn book out and I'll pay for one too, but until then it needs to be available and if piracy is the only option, that's on the copyright holder.

Oh, and thanks Nathan Natas for trying to help the project, along with others. It needs to be readily available.

Jehovah God is Real

by TakeOffTheCrown in

there are many on this site that do not believe that jehovah truly exists; that he is not a real being.

but, he is as real as next breath you draw into your nostrils.. some of you say that there is no evidence that he exists.

yet, none of you can prove that he does not exits.. cofty, (you come to mind), i appreciate that you have stated, without reservation, that you do not believe that god exists.. yet, you cannot prove it.. hope in jehovah..

Actually, as one of Jehovah's loyal servants you should have nothing to do with us, so why are you here? Says more about you than it does us. Shame on you. What must Jehovah think of you?

This thread is like reading about Jehovah in the Bible. Lots of words from someone claiming to know something without any facts or ability to answer questions or challenges. I guess Jehovah is real then, assuming this is. You have me convinced! All glory be to TOTC!

So then, is Allah real too? If not, what's the difference?

Hard to be completely respectful and the JW attitude

by scratchme1010 in

recently at work they conducted an mbti test for me.

for those who don't know, the mbti test is a personality test used by organizational psychologists in companies and organizations.

it is supposed to describe the best way you communicate, the best way of giving and receiving feedback, and for managers that test is supposed to explain to them the best way to manage their employees (i'm over simplifying, i know).. my profile came up as some kind of introvert (and when i was told that i said "what?

Well, if I remember correctly I too am an INTJ. I also shared that "devil's advocate" part of your personality and the negative and sarcastic tone, though I've worked hard to tone things down so as to better be heard by others. I also find you to be one of my favorite posters, so welcome to the club.

I believe that the JWs foster such a personality, even the literature having an air of superiority and mocking tone. I also believe that it attracts people that naturally had that to begin with.

I'm really sorry about what happened to the collage you made. I felt a little gut punch just reading it. I'm also sorry for your loss.

That One Defining Moment That Changed Your Life.

by new boy in

it seems that many times in life there is a moment or an action that changes your whole world.

it could be just a look that someone gives you.. many times it can be something rather small.

something hardly noticeable by anyone but you.

1. When I was 7-8 and my parents bought a house right next to a JW family. You can guess where that went.

2. International Convention of 2014 in Indianapolis. We left early on the first day, my wife in tears, and felt such relief as we drove away from the hotel after retrieving our stuff to head home. We discussed on the way home how we just didn't fit and could never go back, and we didn't .

3. May of 2015 we drive to NYC to see my DFed brother and come home to be shunned by family .

4. September 2, 2015, our disassociation is officially announced and we start our new life.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! The same two wonderful families that adopted my wife and I last year will be our families again today, and we had to turn down other invitations from the other "unrighteous" people in the "wicked world". Oh, the horrors of humanity loving on one another.

My mom contacted me last night...

by HereIgo in

as i have revealed in other threads my mother and i havent talked in over 2 years.

she has been keeping her distance, therefore staying loyal to jehovah.

she found me on facebook.

The brainwashing is so evident and so sad. I'm sorry. My family is the same. Whatever happened to making a defense of amyone that asks of you? Why doesn't the same apply to god?

Official Increase in the Number of Jehovah's Witnesses You Shouldn't Trust

by David_Jay in

reports are coming from witnesses that, once again, the number of memorial partakers has risen considerably this past year, 2016. while confirmation is still to come on the exact numbers, the current explanations given for this increase surely causes a dilemma.. imagine the roman catholic church publishing each year the number of members who it felt were mistaken about what they believed in, that this same number of members was likely suffering from problems such as pride or even mental disorders or something along this line.

this number, by the way, was in the thousands too and growing annually.

what would you conclude, therefore about the catholic church and its admission?.

How long before they cherry pick a new scripture and use it to portray this influx of new anointed members in this time of the end, whether as legitimate or not?
