there has been major declines in european countries.. will one of these be the first to have a catastrophic decline.. i predict britian and france falling quickly maybe under 100,000 in a year or two.. when one country fall significantly say britian going under 100,000 will this set off bigger falls here and else where when people start to jump the sinking ship?

Yadirf,

I will not hijack this thread but just this one more post. My point is that JWs think they are sooo elite, so important. The whole world and God revolves around you. I left the JWs thinking something like that. I can tell you, the other religions don't care about JWs, some don't know anything at all about them, for the most part they go about their business being "Christian" (that word is in the Bible) The Watchtower Society is just a small unimportant destructive cult. God never saw fit to mention them in the Bible. Over all The WT just fits in with the general population of false prophets, liars, false teachers, etc.

Yadirf,

Sorry to disappoint you, but the Watchtower is not important enough to even be referred to in the Bible.

Sleepy,

AT the ex-jw convention in Penn., there have been several ex-jws from Japan coming for the past few years. They are working hard and successfully. They seem to be determined to help the JWs there to see the falseness of the WT. I think Japan is a likely candidate.

Friends we are too unbalanced.

well sometimes we are.. look we have the knowledge and experience to help a lot of people.must of us have one time been jw's and understand how many think.so lets not put them off by being too negative.. when we were witnesses most of us were quite happy .

we tried to be good people , to put into practise principles that many people think are good.

we did this sometimes even when we didn't want to , because we thought god would hold us accountable and because we cared for people .

IMHO

Romans 3:10-12 Amphlified Bible:

"As it is written, None is righteous, just and truthful and upright and conscientious, no, not one. No one understands - no one intelligently discerns or comprehends; no one seeks out God. All have turned aside; together they have gone wrong and have become unprofitable and worthless; no one does right, not even one!"

I think that scripture should humble all of us, Christian, JW, or otherwise.

Sleepy,

The "Faithful and Discreet Slave" aka "Unfaithful Indiscreet Slavemaker Class" claims to provide the "food at the proper time" That food coming from the bible is certainly good and benificial. But The "FDS" mixes deadly poison with the food. That makes them guilty, but, the average JW, even though they may be fooled, still carries that poisoned food to everyone they can. There is some responsibility on them also. (most of my family, children,grandchildren, sisters, their families, etc. are still JWs)

DF'd 4 smoking........feel unworthy;yet....

i was df'd 6 months ago for smoking cigarettes.

i really reached out for help but had a hard time breaking the habit.

maybe i should have been disfellowshipped, according to why it is done.

borgfree

Iwish4truth,

I am very glad you are free of the unscriptural control of the WT. Use your freedom to really research the WT, you will then be free forever.

YoYoMama,

One of my favorite quotes. I will use the NWT but my preference is the Amplified Bible:

John 16:2,3 (2) Men will expel you from the synagogue. In fact, the hour is coming when everyone that kills you will IMAGINE he has rendered a sacred service to God. (3) But they will do these things because they have not come to know EITHER the Father or Me.

INDIANA posters

by dubla in

friends

i was talking on the phone about a week ago with a poster from this forum, and when he found out i was from south bend, indiana, he asked me if i had gotten together with the group of indiana posters that were having a small gathering (around bloomington i think?).

the truth is, i havent had one-on-one contact with too many from this board up till now, save some frequent chat room visitors, so i didnt realize we had an indiana following.

after my name appeared on the whos who page, i did get emails from a couple people familiar with the area, but i would like to get in contact with the rest of the indiana posters.

I was born and raised in Richmond, Indiana. Was in a congregation in Indianapolis for a while in my teens. I know some ex's in Indiana. I now live across the border in Ohio.
