  i “unwitnessed” at work yesterday.

  in case anyone doesn’t know, i retired last year from the post office.

  after being home for 5 months, i got bored, so i went back to work where my husband works.

  LongHairGal,

  Most likely they were Mormons. Two young guys with backpacks and saying they are missionaries is the norm for them.

  Everyone is missing the main point. slimboyfat is the self-proclaimed font of all knowledge and you are forgetting to bow down to him.

  Chill out slimboy. You're making a complete ass out of yourself.

  Hailstone message.....June 23 WT

  by mikeflood in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  new jun 23 wt....elders to follow gideon example, even if instructions doesn't seems practical, gideon reduced army by 99 % and he obeyed, it could be changes in theocratic direction similar to this.

  what that means?.

  elders will need the courage to follow instructions "may relate to delivering a symbolic hailstone message...".. in another section "major world events may raise some from spiritual slumber".

  I remember over 30 years ago, Watchtower had the tract campaign where we delivered a new tract about every othe month. If I am correct, this was to continue until the "end". Hmmm, what happened to that message? Most likely, it was just psychological conditioning to keep us busy and not think about what we really could be doing with our time.

  dear friends,.

  i think you all know me as a person who has always strived, despite my imperfections to only ever wanting to be and remain in the “truth”.

  it is in fact what i so desperately want for my son ashton and my baby girl honey bee, to be lovers of truth and grow up to be a loyal servants of jehovah god and his son, jesus christ.

  It is good that you have seen through the deception of the organization.

  I have doubts that anyone at JW headquarters will read your entire letter because it is much too long. They will determine in a few paragraphs that is negative information about them and just discard it.

  The two Kingdom Halls that I attended back in Pennsylvania are now a town's borough building and police station and the other is a church of some homemade denomination (Shekinah Temple). The main KH in Pittsburgh's Oakland area (Central Kingdom Hall) is now a Islamic Center.

  Ex-Jehovah's Witness recounts her disfellowshipping and family estrangement in today's Huffington Post. A poignant read.

  a thoughtful read in today's huffington post.

  it reminded me of how glad i am that 1st gen and i left the cult together and worked on keeping our closest relationships alive.

  it wasn't easy.

  Another heart wrenching story from the family destroying religion. So glad I got out over 20 years ago. I hate this cult.

  How did you find Jehovah's Witness meetings?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i personally have only attended a handful of meetings at kingdom halls.

  i did not enjoy any of them nor was i impressed by anything that was conveyed.

  perhaps others did not find them boring as i did.. nadia viotto has this to say about her experience.

  I found the meetings boring even when I was fully indoctrinated. Many of them were led by, and participated in by people who were unqualified to be speaking in public. It was like the original "Amateur Preacher Show".

  People in that position sometimes make comments like: “I’ve seen what the world has to offer and it’s nothing compared to the truth”. I wouldn’t begrudge her, or others in her position, if that’s how they see it.

  Yes, after they have amassed their worldly fortune of $250,000,000 in Serena's case.

  Front row seats watching the collapse of watchtower

  by Indoubtbigtime in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i’m a pimo ministerial servant and i won’t fade because i want to keep my front row seats watching what happens next few years.. my predictions are that this current governing body will slowly die off and the current younger helpers will be the next gb.

  they will eventually have new light that they were wrong about 1914 and the overlapping generations.. the new light will be something on the lines of the last days are now because of king of north king of south pushing each other etc etc.

  they will do their very best to burry old literature and try to change the past trying to make it sound like they were right all along just as they have done for 150 years now.

  Collapse of the organization? Not for a long, long time in my opinion. You are spot on about young ones leaving as soon as they can. I believe the diminishing number of WT members is the real cause of consolidating the Kingdom Halls and selling them off. The WT could see the handwriting on the wall a long time ago and came up with the strategy of reaping the real estate rewards by stealing these building that were built and paid for by the gullible believers. I once was one of them.
