  While a JW, Did You Ever Let On That You Were "Going Apostate"?

  by minimus in

  i never did, although i did tell my former bible student/tennis partner that the bible does not condemn celebrating birthdays or recommend celebrating anniverseries.

  he told his jw brother who told his elders who told my po.

  when the po asked me about the conversation, i told him he asked me some questions and i truthfully answered., i said, "nothing i said was wrong or incorrect".

  I had let it be known to a certain extend and thus I had a bad reputation as a weak brother.

  If you think you are mature at 28 wait and see what you will feel like at 48 you will say at 28 I was so immature.

  Does anyone think the WTS is actually a 'front' organization?

  i've been thinking about this for a little while and it appears that this is a possibility.

  although i cant say that there is solid evidence, it looks as if the clues are there:.

  - clandestine involvement with the un as an ngo.

  It is plausible that there is something fishy going on behind the scenes and there may well be a secret agenda to be pursued by the top echelon, Russell did have suspicious connections with free masonry and the occult and published a book that was dictated by a demon and even after his death he wanted masonic symbols by his grave, Rutherford was a spiritistic channel and even in the 1950's the WTS was using the services of Greber.
  
  It is also strange how they relegated Jesus to the background put jah on centre stage and became very works oriented, something that smacks strongly of judaism.
  
  We can't know for sure but there are good reasons to suspect something very untoward is happening behind the scenes and that a lot of money goes somewhere else.

  It takes time to get disentangled from the complex of ideas cunningly instilled in the mind by the WTS the fear of the world, of the big A, of jah. If we are to be kind to him that would help to break down the complex.

  Traitors and heroes.

  the whitewashed history of the watchtower society in nazi germany.. the man who became leader of the german branch of the watchtower society after the war is without exception portrayed as a beacon of virtue and faith, standing fearless against the nazis:.

  *** w89 5/1 12 jehovah has sustained me as a friend ***.

  many of the loyal ones, among them erich frost and konrad franke, who suffered much for the lords sake and later became branch overseers in germany, returned alive from the fiery furnace of persecution.. .

  i dont know if anyone else noticed this but on june 14th a friend in need was silenced from kwins post "it took only 13 hrs...." for being a pain.

  i just noticed a new member that goes by the name of dennis joined on june 15th and is spitting the same pro-jw stuff that afin was.

  so it appears our friend has evolved.

  Indeed a lot of staunch JW supporters eventually saw the light on the net and joined the ranks.

  Disassociated on the basis of doctrinal disagreements on blood issue, last generation, and the FDS ie the GB, claiming to be an untouchable sacred cow.
  
  Could not understand why its wrong to accept blood that someone gave willingly and without any harm to himself the 1914 date was arrived at through a ridiculous process by an ignorant man (Russell)amateurish in religious matters, and the GB being imperfect men that inevitably make mistakes could not be above criticism.

  It will probably be hard to determine whether he is the same person with a different username and perhaps IP or another jw (or jw sympathiser) that decided to bash the apostates and put some extra time on his fs report for the business headquarters in Brooklyn.

  ... and confess to them that you have being willfully going against the directions of the faithful and discrete slave by visiting evil apostate websites like this.. perhaps they will lovingly extend to you discipline that can yield peaceable fruit.. .

  The WTS talks in that article about people who were guilty of wrongdoing. The question is how do they define wrongdoing. It is often very arbitrary, whimsical, and calculated to promote their own selfish interests. And what is wrongdoing today may be correct tomorrow without any apologies for those that had to suffer sanctions due to a wrong concept of wrongdoing.
