  changes in WT cd rom

  by Lot in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  can any one please give me examples, if such exist, of substantial changes in the cd rom vs the hard copies of mags.

  this would prove to be invaluable to me in helping my wife see the deception involved with the wts.

  i say substantial because something that was obviously a mistake of minor importance could happen in any electronic transfer of data.. thanks so much,.

  the problem with that is that it is too hard to prove because how many people have access to the origional Jan 1/'89 watchtower? photocopies and scans are not welcome by good jdubs. ebay???

  a few days ago i had the privilege of being invited to a regular pioneer's birthday party.

  i met her a couple of weeks ago, and even though she knows i am inactive and have serious doubts, we hit it off on a social level.

  so that's why i was invited... .

  a few days ago i had the privilege of being invited to a regular pioneer's birthday party. i met her a couple of weeks ago, and even though she knows i am inactive and have serious doubts, we hit it off on a social level. so that's why i was invited...
  here's the scenario: i show up at the restaurant and there are about 10 other dubs there, all respectable people (that coming from someone who loves to find faults in dubs). there was at least one gift that was sitting under the table (from another pioneer), and they all had a small cake with a candle on it sent to her later in the evening. she blew out the candle (sans making a wish, i'm sure) and ate the cake.

  there was no overdrinking, no cursing, no general mischief. these people are good jw's and good citizens. so why was it okay for them to celebrate birthdays? what does that say about how most jdubs feel about this stupid rule? how would they explain why you shouldn't celebrate bdays to others, when they clearly do celebrate it? how is the next generation gonna feel about not only bdays, but other celebrations?

  p.s. i was joking around all night to the bday girl about how she should attach a mill stone around her neck and throw herself into the sea. I'M STUMBLED BITCH! but i was more comforted than stumbled for some reason

  One of the 144,000

  by out of the box in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i wanted to share this story.. we were (many years ago) going out in service.

  i was in the car with annointed one driving, his wife and the person who had 'brought me into the faith' and my daughter.

  we went through an intersection where this old man (annointed one) was not paying attention.

  well, if it's "how you treat jesus' brothers" that determines whether or not you are in the new system, then you'd better treat jesus' brothers good! i think that is a big motivation in the jw's practically doing obeisence to the 144,000

  Excellent article on WT mind control!

  by truth_about_the_truth in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah's witnesses .

  if you are one of jehovah's witnesses your mind is being controlled by someone else without your knowledge.

  mind control - what is it?.

  How did you get the "troof"?

  by dorayakii in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was assimilated at birth... .

  my maternal grandparents came to england in the early 1940s, and learnt the troof here.

  my grandfather opposed my grandmother for a while, but then he decided it wasn't worth the fight and studied the blue "troof book" and my grandparents got baptised at the same assembly.

  i knew for a long time that i was gonna buy a BMW for my second car, but i wanted to avoid both the materialism AND non-service worthy car speaches, so i bought a four door 325i... it was handsome AND roomy, yet all i got were complaints about how squished it was in the back... i hated having to tell the bitch in the back seat to go fuck herself in service... but i felt like that's what jehovah might have said to her for being a complainy douche bag

  a lot of these brother-owned businesses are jobs that are done at night (such as, of course, cleaning)... well one night of the year, every JW needs off... the memorial... when that night comes, if you only have JW employees, then you are F'd up tha bum

  by You People Are All Idiots in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  wow, yeah i was looking fr the theocratic ministry school oral review questions and i came across an apostate site!

  the site was www.jehovahs-witness.com and was just fill of retarded apostates!

  they were not only using a domain name and header name that denotes a conection with the actual watchtower society, but where using it to blasphem the jehovah's true organization in order to help people break away.

  Preparing for meetings

  by daystar in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i can recall from a very early age, that before just about every meeting, our family would be on edge while getting ready.

  often some of the very worst of our personalities would show themselves.

  we would argue and sometimes be downright verbally abusive with each other.

  **MUST READ** AlanF's email to Knocking.org

  by sf in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is a must-read that, hopefully, will stay an "active topic" for all seekers and lurkers, by bumping it to the top as often as possible.

  alan wrote it in randys {dogpatch} thread regarding knocking.org documentary and in reply to the email mr. engardio sent to barbara anderson.

  however, it is so vital a read that it indeed needs its own thread:.
