  My old KH had a personal visit from me today!

  by moshe in

  i was on business in the area of my old congregation ( i live out of state)- the one i first got baptized in back in 1973. they were just getting started on their discussion before service- it was 9:03 am and i just impulsively turned into the parking lot and decided to pay them a surprise visit.

  i just walked into the kh and looked at them for 30 seconds.

  i didn't recognize anyone and finally they asked me what i wanted.

  How can they sleep at night?

  The Bible answers that question at 1Timothy4:2 "Speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their conscience seared with a hot iron." [ King James Bible] They have done this so long it doesn't bother them.

  What really made you exit the Jw's

  by KAYTEE in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know its a question that has been asked a thousand times, but what really made you exit the jws .. for instance, my wife and i, having found out about the u.n., 607bce, failed prophecies etc.

  gave all this information to my wifes brother, along with many so called friends.

  we came out but the brother and friends stayed in.. the only reasoning i can put on it, is that we made an effort to find out for ourselves what was the real truth, the others were told and given written evidence - but still didnt make a decision.

  My Son is the reason I left. He quit going to the meetings and finally his wife also. they had a 3 year old and I wanted them back in so when he told me he had a problem with 1914, I was going to prove to him the Society was right. I done a LOT of research and found out the Society was wrong. I couln't believe it at first and didn't want to since I had other kids in it. But decided to go with the truth and got out. My son and his wife were labeled Apostates. They haven't done anything with me so far except come out to talk and that has been about 3 years. My other kids still speak and are nice to me so thats the only thing good about not being DF. They will not speak to their brother but he and his wife are enjoying life now. All of my daughter-in-law's folks dropped them. Her Dad and brother are Elders. She lost all her family. It was hard at first but she has made real friends now but I know she misses her Mother.

  S Eight, Watchtower, January15,1970 states "all of Matthew chapter 24 was fullfilled upon Jerusalem in 70C.E." Matthew 24:34 Jesus said "Truly I say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur." He was talking to his disciples when said that so when he said "this generation" they under stood it meant their generation. Paul said at Colossians 1:23 the good news was preached in ALL creation. So the end came in 70C.E. after the preaching work was completed The Watchtower Society says Matthew 24 has a greater fullfillment but Jesus never said it did. Where did they read it had a greater fullfillment? They never.

  coolcat, miss meetings now and then and service. Little by little just fade out. They will think you are spiritually week. If they call, tell them it's not a good time. If you have caller ID, don't answer. They will finally leave you alone. I haven't been to a meeting in about 3 years. The last time they called me I told them I wasn't bothering anyone and I didn't want to be bothered. I am not DF. I still see my kids so if you have family just fade.

  hey... ex-witnesses.

  when i read all your df stories, i do not notice one thing which seems strange.

  why do you not counter-witness before you are df and shunned.

  Gil, same happened to me as Lovelylil. There is no way you can talk to them when you are labeled an Apostate.

  Texas is nice. I live on the outskirts of Waco. People here are nice and speak in person but they are very rude when it comes to driving.

  they always used this as 'proof' that other churches were only in it for the money.

  Not unless they have "a new light." They are supposed to give willingly.

  The 144,000 ... is it correct to say that they are "saved" in JW doctrine

  by kwintestal in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  reading 'the god delusion', dawkins says on page 258:.

  hartung draws attention to the two verses in revelation where the number of those 'sealed' (which some sects such as the jehovah's witnesses, interpret to mean 'saved') is limited to 144,000.. i would not myself used the word 'saved', i'm not sure exactly sure what word i would have used because i don't think the jw's beliefs regarding the 144,000 can be summed up with one word.

  kwin.

  Always thought the Society used Rev. 2:10 to show they had to prove theirself faithful to death.
