Yep, I Gave A Public Talk

by mavie in

can we see the fulfillment of this today?

these are just a few of the prophecies recorded in the bible which have seen their fulfillment.

another evidence of divine authorship can be found in the practical guidance the bible gives.

I only ever gave the 1 whole PT(did a few half ones.)...at the age of 29 ..."godly view of sex and marriage..." shudder.

anyone else care to comment on the watchtower's media site response to the pedophile issue?

i know this has partially been covered, sorry.

They have effectively silenced so many people, women and children generally. This is the tip of the iceberg as we all know. Their crimes include but are not limited to , child abuse, allowing pedophiles, rapist's, and wife beaters to run amok in the congregations.

What a pile of complete pony

I dont understand the hate...

i grew up as a jehovah's witness.

my mother was uneducated and so we moved every 2-4 years as she tried to find stable enough work to support a child so ive attended many kingdom halls and have known many witnesses and many elders.

i've never gone back to the witness organization and never will.

The world is full of good and bad people. The Witness organization is no different. There are literally millions of genuinely good and decent people that are Jehovah's Witnesses. And from my extensive experience with at least 12 different congregations and thousands of people I can assure you that the mix is probably 99.99 to .01 in favor of those good and decent people. And yet, the people on this board would have you believe the number is skewed in the opposite direction. I call bullsheit.

Troll or not i agree with that 100%.

just watched the part about jehovah's witnesses - it was very brief and didn't go to any side, very neutral, possibly more positive than negative.

anyway after they showed that; i got in contact and offered to share my experiences with someone from there as they asked for anyone interested in doing so, to get in contact.. please please please do the same!!!!.

bbc.co.uk/theoneshow and get in touch!!.

I saw it..it was nicely done.They came accross as just a bit annoying and not the monsters many make them out to be.

I was glad it was balanced.Thought the elders wife looking adoringly at hubby was a bit cringey tho.

Disfellowship Reversal ?

by AlphaOmega in

i have read of some annecdotal evidence that in a few cases, a disfellowshipping can be reversed.. this has applied in the case of not following the correct procedure and other circumstances.. can anyone provide any links or scans or stories of this happening ?.

i believe that there is a case that was mentioned in the watchtower of two missionaries that were wrongly disfellowshipped and had it revoked.. many many thanks,.

ao.

Do you ever get nausea when encountering JW stuff

by Sirona in

i thought after 7 years out i had done a pretty good job of getting my mind free of the jws.. then yesterday i went on youtube and typed in jehovah's witness.

after watching a few apostate videos, i came across a pro-jw video of a convention.

as i started the video and they started singing "we thank you jehovah" i got a mega wave of nausea and felt like i had to switch the thing off.. has this happened to you?

fleaman uk

not so much nauseous,but when i see the "mags"or hear jw speak ..i cringe a bit and feel glad im out ,VERY glad!!

savemysoul made a good point that i have heard often.

semi/full blow racist remarks are usually started off with "i'm not racist but..." then add some blanket statement afterwards.

so is racism now the new gay?

feelings of guilt

by confused and lost in

as some of you are aware i am in the early stages of doubting the wts as the only channel of truth.however i am assailed by feelings of guilt.am i being seduced by the words of disgruntled witnesses or ex-witnesses or am i truly doubting !

!maybe some of you felt this way in the early stages of your "defection" from the wts.sometimes i feel as though i am rejecting god and his organization but other times i feel so strongly that the wts has misled me and is acting to control my "loyalty" by vieled threats of destruction at armageddon.you see prior to becoming a jw i had no religious affiliations.i knew nothing about the bible or god.so for 20 yrs i have only known watchtower teachings and un-learning 20yrs of this is making me so indesicive.am i doing the right thing or not ?

my only solace is prayer.i have prayed to god to show me in some way what the truth really is.i must admit that these prayers have been the most heartfelt i have ever said.have others felt this way and if so how did they deal with it ?i would truly appreciate some feedback.
