Just wondering...

by molybdenum in

for those of you who are "out" forcibly ( disfellowshipped) or voluntarily ( dissasociated) is there anything.

that you actually miss about the witnesses or meetings?.

Honesty

Yes.

Hearing all about how Jesus appointed the FDS in 1918/1919.

Of course, after the July 15 JW bible is studied even the JW's won't be hearing about 1918/1919 either.

Anyone ever written an ''Assertive' letter to GB ?

by *lost* in

curious.. if not would anyone like to help me pen a very 'assertive' letter ?.

just for the hell of it, see if we get a response ?.

Honesty

It's more effective to call the Service Department, tell the brother your name and congregation number,

and ask him to give the GB a message:

Goobye, False Prophets!

Search for the Truth Rewarded

FINDING little satisfaction as a lay preacher in the Presbyterian Church, a gentleman started looking for God’s true church. He drew up ten requirements that he felt the true church should have. He already had an accurate understanding of the unscripturalness of hellfire, immortality of the soul, and so forth. For 30 years he conducted this search. When contacted by one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, he began firing his questions, such as: "Who is the little flock? Who are the 144,000 and the other sheep?" Getting satisfying answers, he agreed to a Bible study. After three months he said to the Witness: "Well, Brother, the true church of God is Jehovah’s Witnesses." He is now 71 years of age and happy that he has found the true church after a 30-year search!

What about your vow to Jehovah?

by a watcher in

did you get baptized without being dedicated?.

why did you allow men to come between you and jehovah?.

why were you serving jehovah at all?

Honesty

"Did you get baptized without being dedicated?"

No.

"Why did you allow men to come between you and Jehovah?"

Because I believed the Watchtower's bullshit.

"Why were you serving Jehovah at all? Out of love, or for other reasons?"

I wasn't serving Jehovah, I just thought I was.

It took me 45 years to figure out the Watchtower's scam.

i work very hard through the week and the only time i can reply is in the early morning hours, i read the respones on my iphone through out the day, if there was a way to log on with the phone, i would.

Honesty

"I am not prepared for this".

I wasn't either and I quickly found out just how unprepared I was.

I tried to make it go away but it wouldn't so I did.

Have been out for about 10 years now.

One of the best decisions I ever made.

Welcome to the board JJ.

I hope you help loads of JW's find out TTATT.

Anyone here been Dfd for 'apostacy'?

by Julia Orwell in

just wanna know.

i'm doing the fade but i reckon my big mouth could get me dfd.

i know plenty who've been dfd for fornication/adultery, but never met one dfd for speaking the truth.

Honesty

Julia:

You have to get your thinking in line with the Faithful and Discreet slave and stop looking for flaws in Jehovahs organisation.

That sentence is a good indication that someone has been drinking gallons of kool-aid.

JWism is just an updated 21st century version of Peyton Place.

Moral dilemma: to tell my husband or not to tell him...

by Julia Orwell in

jw
friends

that his jw best friend he hasn't seen in ages is coming for holidays from where he now lives overseas.

this jw friend was instrumental in getting my husband into the cult before we met.

i heard from a jw from my old cong who just emailed me.

Honesty

Been there done that.

Tell him.

He'll eventually find out you knew and then he will never trust you again.

It's time for some more TATT..

What does hubby think about Michael the archangel being Jesus?

After making purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.
So He became higher in rank than the angels, just as the name He inherited is superior to theirs.
Hebrews 1:3-4

Michael is the only angel that is called an archangel in God's word.

Archangel means chief or principal angel.

If Jesus was Michael the archangel then He would have already been higher in rank than the angels before making purification for sins.

Bethel doesn't look after it's own

by ekruks in

it's not only springsteen's latest song that is inaccurate, but bethel certainly doesn't look after it's own.. i know it's very easy for us to what to criticise bethel after our experiences, but if we are reasonable with the wbts and approach this with an open mind, can we conlude it's fair how bethelites are treated?.

i know with any company if an employee breaks the rules, they have to leave.

being fair, i can't wave a finger at bethel for telling those who break rules, sin, etc., to leave.

Honesty

Jerhover will take care of them.
