Thanx for the reply everyone. It is sad that men (especially the Governing Body) busy themselves so much with prophesying and figuring out the prophetic meaning behind each and every scripture. We are of course supposed to just love one another and God. That's it. Plain and simple. Yet, I guess the Society doesn't want to do such an act for it would go against everything they believe. "Why would God give love to everyone, I don't get it. Everyone should die, except me of course, cause I'm perfect."

Well, although loving God and thy neighbor is the only thing that should matter, we still have to contend with the witnesses and groups like them. So, til then, I'm going to keep reading my scriptures and at least prove that the Society is wrong. While still loving them of course.

Oh and Agent 1of1. Try to stay away from lead candles.

Should We Form A Committee?

by Englishman in

dansk recently asked us to write and protest about the erection of a kh in bury, lancashire.. many of us did just that and the newspaper concerened emailed most of us asking for permission to publish our comments in it's weekly issue.. it was also suggested that maybe we could also write to df'ing committees to protest at their actions.. so, we're wondering, should we form some sort of committee to co-ordinate operations such as this on an ongoing basis?.

if we did that, who would be interested in playing an active part?.

any suggestions as to how such an operation should be run?.

I have a question. Do we have in mind to help the ones stuck in the "borg"? I know that by letting the public have more awareness about the Witnesses will help, but I believe that in some way if we can let all the ones in the organization know about the Society's falseness we can bring it down harder. Like the Trojan Horse. I know that this idea is way hard to do, because many of us have tried to let JDubs know about it. But, if somehow we could figure a way together to undermine the Rank-and-File publishers' minds, then we could bring down the whole foundation of the WTS. We all know that the main foundation of Jehovah's Witnesses is not the teachings from the Bible. It is however, the persecution they receive from such ones who would try to stop their preaching work. Other people will see their "genuine" faith being tested and feel that this may be the right religion.

I know for a fact that when I was in the "truth", that when I saw people picketing the KHs from being built, I felt that we were indeed being persecuted. This made my faith stronger and caused me to be even MORE diligent to preach the good news.

All in all, I do believe if we are to even bring this "Corporation" down, we would have to reach to the Witnesses on the inside. I know this is nearly impossible, but it's just my observance.

The JWs finally found me home and awake!

by Eyebrow2 in

well, it has been about two months since my mom visited, and started asking the locals to stop by the house.

i was either asleep or out every time they came by.

anywho, i was actually on my way out with wallet in hand when i answered the door.

Love what you said that you'd like to have actually done. I thought for myself that if they were to ever come to my door, I'd tell them that Satan actually has a hold of me and he's threatened me and my family and that's why I can't go back. Then I'd start speaking in a different language and throw myself on the ground and go into compulsions. I'd love to see their reaction.

Have You Ever Heard This Explanation Why 144,000 is a Literal Number?

by Had Enough in

jw
friends

the speaker said tonight (yes i went to the memorial to appease my worried family .

well he said its very simple....the scripture talks about the lamb and the 144,000. it doesn't say lambs as in more than one....no, it says lamb referring to the "literal number of one lamb".. so thats how we know that the 144,000 is a literal number and not symbolic like all the rest of revelation.. ok....now am i going bonkers...or has anyone else every heard that explanation before?

i know i never have and that doesn't make any sense to me at all.. had enough

Recently they've changed their views on incense and have said that it's up to one's conscience. Of course, as long as we don't stumble anyone else.

I thought this was pretty cool...

by FirstInLine in

about 4 days ago i am leaving my driveway to go to the gym.

its about 11:30 pm.

i have a long driveway that two other houses share.

I heard that if you buy a couple of canisters of shaving cream and dip it into liquid nitrogen it'll freeze the cream inside. Thus you can cut the outside canister off and leave the cream frozen inside the car. Once the car is sealed up, not alot of air gets inside, so the cream will liquify, expand a bit but not too much. Once they come to their car and open it, because of the sudden exposure to the air, the shaving cream instantly blows up. Now, this is what I've heard, never been able to try it yet, and probably never will be able to. But if there's anyone that would be perfect to try it on, it would be those punks.

beauty, brains, money....no luck!

by AuSet in

my sister, who is still in, has just recently graduated from college (four year university) with a good degree and has landed a great job.

its likely that she will never meet a jw man who is completely compatible with her, as she is educated, smart, and makes more money than about half her cong.

combined.

Recently I had gotten out of the "borg". In the "borg" I was discouraged from even dating a girl, since my mother was overprotective and wanted to let me at least be single for awhile before I decided to settle down. Turning 26, I've been able to hang around some "sisters", but sad enough I've never been able to date them. And even sadder, I've never even kissed a girl yet. I'm freaking 26 years old and I haven't even kissed a girl yet. Right now, you might think that I'm not that good of a looking guy. To the contrary. Many sisters have told my fleshly sister that I'm cute but they didn't want to date me. Wanna know why? They thought I was too spiritual. ??? If only they could see me now.

What I want to say is, I know how your sister feels. I am actually smart and handsome according to my family and friends, and I always wanted to find a sister that was smart and funny and we'd be able to discuss about subjects that most guys wouldn't even think about. However, I had never even come close to finding that sister. I've asked a couple of them if they'd like to date, but they then say they already have a boyfriend. This has confused me many times, especially when they would look my way during meetings and we'd have eye contact for a bit. It's a very disturbing game, the game of love, and especially now for me, since I'm not a witness anymore and I will never go back. It will be hard to see "worldly" women as ones not being from the devil. But I figure that it'll work out some way or another.

As for your sister, tell her from a witness that used to know (at least when I was a witness) that even a guy feels that way. I've always wondered if there would be the right sister for me and if God would direct me to her. It never happened and I'm actually glad it didn't. Cause if it did, I would most likely still be a part of the "collective" and be stuck with a wife who would probably not be able to change her views. I am glad of the decisions that I've made now, and I will be glad with the decisions I make in the future. Tell your sister that she is a wonderful person and that's all that matters.

Yes, I have read up on those too. What I find funny is that, while looking up this information, most of these articles that they referred to were from the 1960s or back. When I decided to look up the information in the Watchtower Library to confirm its accuracy, lo and behold, it wasn't there. I always asked myself before, why the Society didn't have information that far back. I thought maybe it was because they didn't yet convert it to computer, or maybe there wasn't enough room on the CD. But now seeing that there were "false prophecies" from those articles, I now know why it's not accessible to the Witnesses.

(Thanks for the reply)

Hot Off the Press- WE ARE NOT ATTENDING THE MEMORIAL-FIRST TIME

by wednesday in

i have been feeling nervous all day.

my hubby has been out doing yardwork, so we hadn't talked too much.

finally we talked.

gods vigilante

For me, being the first time I'm not going as well... I feel a bit of a nag on me as well. However, I remind myself that because I've been indoctrinated for so long to believe that I need to go to a place to serve Jehovah, then I'm going to feel that way. But, did Jesus ever go to a place to worship Jehovah? Many times he went off by himself into the mountains. Did he go back to the temple even though that's where he had attended for most of his life? No, he showed us that it doesn't matter where we serve Jehovah, it matters how we serve him.

I hope this has helped you a bit.

It will be a first time for me as well. I decided that I will, instead of going, read the whole passage concerning the passover. I have a feeling I'll get more out of it then I ever have at the hall.

Continuing in my endeavor to find the truth I found something quite interesting about the "faithful and discreet slave". According to the Society they say that the faithful and discreet slave mentioned in Matt. 24 : 45 refers to the anointed ones who have been appointed by their master over his belongings. Thus giving the the great crowd "their food at the proper time".

The Society says that Jesus Christ's second coming had taken place in 1914 and so they were appointed over his belongings at that time. However, according to vs 44 of Matt 24, just one scripture before vs 45, it says "at an hour that you do not think it, the Son of man is coming." If this were true then the "1914 prophecy", presented by Bible Students at the time, could have never taken place because no one knows the hour in which the Son of man is coming.

Yet, as many people know, the Society refers to the hour as being Armageddon. Yet, if that were the case, how did the "faithful and discreet slave" get appointed over his belongings, when in fact it can't take place til "after" Armageddon?

If anyone has any other thoughts please let me know. Thank you.
