This newly leaked letter PROVES the WTS are hypocrates and do not speak the truth.
by Dunedain inafter reading this newly leaked letter, something profoundly "hit" me.
myself, being born a "witness", and most of us here, who have learned their teachings for years, know of the "importance" the gb/wts always placed on the watchtower and awake magazines, themselves.. from the magazines inception, from back in probably the 1920's, or somewhere that far back, the wts claimed that the preaching work, and specifically the distribution of these magazines, were a sign of the times, and a fulfilment of bible prophecy in these last days.
they would compare the watchtower magazine to a "stinging scorpion", claiming those magazines fulfilled that verse in revelation.

Perry:
"I have long seen similarities between the Armstrong organization and the Watchtower."
They both had their 1975 fiasco.
"At some point, the GB are going to have to jettisone the dating of second coming at 1914."
Not necessarily. They'll simply forget the "Generation" teaching which weighs like an anchor on their ship of false prophecies.
"When that happens, the general membership will be allowed to have a relationship with Christ through the New Covenant like they did in the beginning."
So long as they're tied in to their 144,000/great crowd teaching they will make the 144,000 seem as elite as possible and thus restrict the Ransom sacrifice to them. Also, Jesus has been a cardboard figure to them for too long. He's merely an afterthought in their prayers.

How did your close JWs react when they found out you know TTATT?
by ivanatahan ini'm not sure if this topic has ever been posted (surely, i believe it has), but it would be interesting to revive such a topic and hear your stories!.
when my parents heard my first rant (after they told me to be home schooled when i was caught kissing a girl) they entered into a long depression that continues to this day.
my father suffers knowing his once amazing family is now divided, and my mother is equally angry.

When my "best" JW friend found out that I maybe disfellowshipped (for apostasy) he returned all but one of various items that I had entrusted with him for safekeeping. Several years after my disfellowshipping he, without letting me know, placed the last remaining item at my door almost causing a person to trip over it. -

I tried downloading it an hour ago but I encountered problems. I think that the best thing that video provided was the IRS link. If someone had edited the trivial and erroneous stuff out of that video (GMO and alcohol consumption) it would have been more palatable for people that don't want to watch an hour and a half of anything. -

The GMO issue, regardless of its merits, is too trivial to include along with the military involvement. I believe that he could have saved a lot of his and our time on the video if he had just kept it to defense issues. -

At the 14:38 mark: "They forbid you to drink and they forbid you to smoke". That's where his credibility went out the window. Mind you, the Watchtower's investment in Boeing is definitely noteworthy but that alcohol statement and the triviality of some others undermines the rest of what he has to say.

Why would the judge have control over the shock belt? I would imagine that it was the bailiff who would be in charge of security. -

Does Anyone Still Believe in God?
by LaurenM indo any of you ex-jw's still believe in god?
even with the new rebranding/softening of this religion, i still don't see how people can believe in him.
the god of the old testimate is an angry murderer who approved rapes and slavery and killed thousands of men, women and children.

"The one thing that still sticks with me that the Watchtower organization gave me is a vision of paradise. I think that is where humanity should be heading."
