  What was your turning point?

  by jeanniebeanz in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what was it that was the real eye opener for you?.

  for me, it was after watching the video, "jehovah's witnesses; a non-prophet organization," and the point on how the org puts itself in a place between jesus and mankind.

  a position which does not exist scripturally.

  When one of my mental therapists asked me if I was aware of a condition called cognitive disonance. I looked it up on the internet and it described exactly how I had been feeling about the WT's death-dealing spiritual feeding program for 5 or 6 months. Then I saw a blank billboard in Knoxville, TN. with this painted on it:
  

  607 BCE ?

  I pointed it out to my ex and she went all white and started shaking ( I think she knew all along just wanted to keep getting her ears tickled by the bros.) so when I got home I went to the internet and typed in 607 BCE What a wake-up call that was. I quit the meetings altogether then but it was still about 18 months before the whole puzzle started fitting together. Then I called 2 of the 'prominent ones' in the cong and told them the FDS was an evil slave and they could either bail out or crash 'n burn with the WT False Prophet. They all stayed for some more 'meat in its due season' while I started searching the pages of a real Bible. When I get up enough nerve I'll post my name and congregation but I'm still a little shakey because of all the therapy and de-programming I've gone through for the last 2 years. Although, the therapy kept my mind intact until I found out the Jesus of the Bible is 180 degrees out of tune with the WT version of Him.

  How did you feel about "apostates" when you were a devout JW?

  by booker-t in

  when i was a devout jw i would literally look at "apostates" picketing the assemblies and want to spit at them because i hated them that much and felt that they were of satan.

  i remember one time i saw an "apostate" walking from the assembly and a friend of mine an myself were actually talking about confronting him and telling him off.

  i just cannot believe how much i hated "apostates" when i was a jw.

  My closest JW 'friends' always referred to apostates as scum who had forsaken Jehovah's organisation and I'd better not talk with or associate with them. I could never understand why anyone would turn their back on such a loving provision as the FDS.

  My closest REAL FRIENDS now are called apostates by my former 'friends' who are being decieved by an evil slave.

  Let's do something big for this year's memorial !

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  enough of the wts intimidation and getting away with all sorts of crap.

  we, "the people", have more power than they, "the establishment", do.. this year i propose that we make ourselves heard and noticed.

  that as many people as possible protest at their beloved memorial - the one event that is "most sacred" to them.. i am not suggesting that we disrupt or do anything illegal but simply that we exercise our right to take up their offer of free wine and make a statement.. go, drink.

  Just a thought...

  Research the Illuminati symbols, rituals, etc.

  I may be wrong, however (theocratic double-talk here), don't the Illuminati meet once a year for a memorial where they pass the wine and bread around and by not taking it they deny Jesus?

  Just something I heard once?

  Reinstatement procedure

  by Pebbles RC in

  2. bible

  does anyone out there know the procedure to being reinstated?

  i have been df'd for almost 5 years now and i'm considering... possibly getting reinstated.

  however, i have been to a few meetings in the last few weeks and i am constantly ignored (i thought the elders were allowed to talk to me... there are at least 10 elders) also, i enquired about getting a bible study and was told that i could not have a bible study because df'd people do not get studied with.

  Check out the WTBTS fully before you grovel at the feet of the Pharisees of the WT.

  Better yet, burn the apostate watchtower mags and find a true Bible believing, Bible reading church that displays true christian love and that keeps on seeking the Kingdom.

  Someone should sue the WTBTS for the mental anguish and guilt they have caused during the past 100+ years.

  When Armageddon comes to the WTBTS it will be a time for rejoicing and praising the Lord.

  Brother,

  Don't take anyone's word for it. Go to your local library and look up all the evidence that contradicts everything the WTBTS stands for. 607 BCE, etc. I admit, it is hard to believe but after 6 months of denial and trying to prove the facts wrong I had to make the conscience decision to sever ties with the WTBTS.

  Read your Bible and compare the Kingdom Interlinear with it everywhere worship is in the NWT Christian Greek Scriptures then look at the word obeisance and ask yourself why is obeisance inserted for worship in every instance where the scripture pertains to Jesus. The WTBTS is and always has been against Jesus.

  It may wake a few up but most of the dubs around here only want to deny to themselves that Jehovah's organisation could do anything wrong. Even when they saw that Lloyd Barry and Don Adams names were both listed as representatives for different years. The elders accused me of apostasy and lying when I brought it to their attention. Then when they called Bethel (read your bible and see what kind of center for religion that place came to be) they swallowed the library pass hook line and sinker without flinching. I pray for the unsuspecting sincere witnesses who are caught up in the WT's deception that they'll jump out of that sinking ship before it goes down. Hopefully, they'll find out who the real Jesus is before it's too late.

  If you take a good look at the origins of the WTBTS and its leaders its obvious whose approval they had and continue to enjoy. No small wonder they don't want the dubs to read all the literature published since the 1800's.

  Would they really be the 'Good Samaritan' of Luke 10:25-37 if they came upon one of us confirmed apostates lying in a ditch half-dead? I hope to never have to find out.

  I just wonder how long Poipoi will be pioneering if the bros. find out she is on the internet having such a good time with all of us instead of out selling placing literature and slaughtering feeding the sheep.
