Watchtower Jan,15 2006.??????
by integ infrom watchtower jan 15 2006.
" another fine example for our youths is that of 4 year old "jessica", who wrote to the society to express appreciation for the faithful slaves' counsel regarding what to do if one is tempted to read any of the "poison" of apostate literature; "i am writing to you dear brothers to express my sincere, heartfelt appreciation to those of you entrusted with the administration of carrying out our master jesus' spiritual directive to supply us with our 'food at the proper time'.
as a young one, it is sometimes difficult to resist the great deceiver: satans' crafty acts.

The Watchtower In Crisis: Why They Can't Raise Good Kids
by metatron inif there any single factor that i would rate as the highest priority in raising a child, it is this:.
teach them to be caring, loving adults who care about other people.. we've already noted, ad nauseum, how witnesses are largely impelled by motives other than love in their "ministry".
"pioneer stroll" and fantasies about who's-house-you-want-after-armageddon, there is a further problem in raising witness kids.

Man am I bummed....
by upside/down injust got off the phone with my brother who lives in socal (nondub) and was informed that my dad just had a stroke!.
he's my "dad", not the sperm donor that helped concieve me and my brother than abandoned us so he could "find himself".
he's 74, very intelligent old school retired ex marine, that served in the korean war.

Elder in coma said Jehovah was testing him.
by Es inan elder in my parents congregation passed away last week of cancer.. i dont know if this sounds weird to anyone else, but about a month before he passed away, he went into a coma, he didnt know how long he was in it for.
but when he awoke he said to one of the c/o visiting him "jehovah was testing me, and tellin me i was going to be ok".
so once he awoken he wasnt afraid to die.. does this sound a little weird to anyone, i just feel if it had of been any wordly person saying that god was talkin to them in their coma that the jw's would say it was the demons?????.

The org is going down----I can feel it!
by stopthepain in.
my brother called me today.he is 20 ,3 years younger than me,and out of the religion.he still has fear though that it could be true,but thats another story.. he told me he heard my mother and father talking upstairs.my mother said about the org "ive put 26 years into it,i think i'm done with it,i might just go sunday from now on".this is huge ,because she was a devoted nutjob witness.she made my life horrible for the 1st 17 years of my life.i had been trying to suddly tell her the truth about the troof,but i didn't expect this.i'm happy and yet i want to know where she stands with the borganization.. this along with what seems to be an outpouring of similar stories,i have a gut feeling the jehovahs witness mind control cult is on the brink of implosion.everyone is so burdened by it.the jig is up,gb,good riddance when you fold.the rank and file have had enough.my 2 younger sisters are on the edge of mental freedom.i hope they can fully get free of it.. this is a milestone in my families long and strange trip in mental enslavement!!!!!!!!!!!!

Names given to children
by the_classicist inwhat i've noticed, is that there seems to be a lot of recent jw parents who make sure to name their kids by some hebrew/biblical name.
so now you have kids running around w/names like ezekiel, reuben, isaiah, etc.
there were also a few strange names that i'm sure some of these kids would've been made fun of because of it.. have any of you noticed this?

I am Anointed.
by integ ini have decided after much soul searching that i am anointed.
after researching the process of how one actually decides they are "special", i see that there is no way to actually prove that you are of the heavenly calling.
the spirit has borne witness in me that i am of this special class.

vittvin------I do agree with you saying it will not fall completely flat,due to being able to manipulate poor,humble souls in other poor countries.Also you will have your certain few in well developed countries who believe that they are being persecuted and that the end must be close.But when someone like my mother,who has sacrificed time ,money,her childrens happiness,her immediate families love,and so many intangibles I can't even go on to list right now------that is not good for the borg.She finally I think has realized,to serve god the right way,you cannot slave for 2 masters,you must choose between all false organized reilgion or god.There doesn't need to be a middle man book publishing company for you to find peace.
