  When did you notice the yearly pattern of JW life?

  by truthseeker in

  2. friends

  how long was it before you became aware that your activities as a jw were the same this year as last year?.

  discounting the regular "5 meetings a week" and "saturday field service", let's look at the average year in a jw's life, beginning with the september service year... september.

  if you haven't been to your district convention you will this month.

  for the purposes of this thread i am a dub.

  a 2nd generation, dyed-in-the-wool, sincere and genuine jehovahs witness (just like i used to be).

  Is there a difference between a "wrong expectation" and a "false prophecy"?

  by booker-t in

  as many of you posters know by now that my mom has been a devout jw for 40 years and just cannot accept the fact that i am no longer a jw and feel that i am being deceived by apostates and will be destroyed at armaggeddon.

  well the other day we had another knock down debate about "false prophecies" and the wts.

  my mom insist that the wts are not false prophets but merely had many "wrong expectations" the same as other bible writers and disciples of christ.

  Hi Booker,
  

  I fear that Londoner is correct.

  The only way your mom is going to see the real light is if she looks objectively at the borg. I showed several former friends (their choice, not mine) the SEC filing for Rand/Regi US and all the UN info right from the UN website. I have talked with WTBTS Australian Branch Overseer Don Maclean on several occasions in the past from my shortwave radio station and they know it. When I showed them the Hansard transcripts derived from the Australian government's own website with Don's participation as the WTBTS NGO representative they just looked at me and said "So what, it's still Jehovah's organisation and we have to be loyal to the organisation." They will go to their graves believing the WTBTS is God and nothing will change that unless they are extremely humble. It was very difficult for me to believe all the documentation staring me in the face because I knew that if I severed ties with the borg I would lose all of my friends, my family would probably never talk to me again, my children would call me apostate and worst of all 'where else is there to go'. Well, everything happened just as I feared except for the most important and that was I found truths in the Bible that the WTBTS is doing their best to hide from their flock of 6 million + members and another 8 million + prospective members. When it comes to a choice of either giving loyalty, allegiance and faith to God the Father and his Son, Jesus Christ or allegiance to an organisation that, from all available evidence never had the approval of Jesus, completely controls and directs the thoughts, actions and fears of millions of people too many are afraid of man and therefore will cling to the borg and by doing so will still have their family and friends to enjoy in this present life. My ex-wife, when presented unrefutable evidence of the WTBTS's apostate doctrines, actions and practices asked me if it was alright with me (as if I am to judge any human) if she stayed in the borg because that's where all her friends and family are. It just goes to show what kind of hold Satan and his demons have on the world. YES, without a doubt, the WATCHTOWER BIBLE and TRACT SOCIETY is a principle agent of SATAN. I will more than likely be banned from this site for these comments as I have been banned and rejected contact with my family and friends but that is of no consequence as loyalty and faithfulness to the God of the Bible and his Son, Jesus is of far more value than anything that this world can offer.

  P.S. - If you can obtain a 1995 Awake Bound Volume point out the discreprancies in God's promise found in the box on page 4 'Why Awake is Published" between articles prior to December 1995 and the rest of the year. Without any doubt, the WATCHTOWER BIBLE and TRACT SOCIETY has deliberately attempted to make the the Word of God appear invalid by their apostate publications. In doing so, they have not only denied Jesus but also have implicated all those innocent people who still subscribe to and promote their blasphemous and obscene activities committed in the name of God. How dare that they have the audacity to condemn any other group who desires to worship God according to what is set out in the scriptures when they deliberately distort and twist those very scriptures with their despicable demon-inspired translation of the NEW WORLD TRANSLATION of the HOLY SCRIPTURES to justify their failed prophesies and doctrines that are so very far removed from the Good News of the Kingdom that Jesus and his loyal followers of the early church promoted and preached to the Roman World.

  By relegating everyone in the borg except themselves, including the so called 'remnant' of Memorial Partakers, to the inferior position of putting their faith in the WTBTS instead of putting faith in God's Son, the Governing Body of the apostate religious organisation known as Jehovah's Witnesses has in effect partially, if not completely, fulfilled Jesus words found at Matthew 24:15 and Mark 13:14 They have made the followers of the WTBS spiritual prostitutes by denying them access to God the Father by means of His Son.

  My ex always wanted me to go in business with the brothers. Translated = get your whole life involved just in case you find out this crap ain't from the real God of the Bible. We'll put your skanky a#$ out in the cold, cold world without a dime if you mess with the Borg. None of the brothers could quite figure it out. Now some of them want out but "where would we go?" seems so appropriate for them because they're either too far in debt trying to make ends meet and make 5 meetings a week, 20+ hours of FS, studying the watchtower Bible with the family. and clean at night and on weekends. I still can't figure out what made them decide this is the WTBTS's org and not God's. They didn't have enough time to keep up with all that 'spiritual food' they were choking down let alone research the Borg's world wide operations.

  Touching on missy04's idea; what would your main points be?

  by groovycat. in

  2. friends

  missy04 suggested a 'counter jw tract' for people being lured into the borg.

  now, remembering that a tract is 'small and informative' and meant to 'whet the appetite' (appetite?

  ... make me sick more like), what do you think should be included?

  I have to agree with you, Fairchild. My 4 cats are loyal, don't scream at me, love to be hugged and cuddled, are cheap to clothe and feed, don't have bad breath or take up a lot of time in the bathroom.

  Besides that, I don't think they'll tear my heart out anytime soon.

  Fun & Games in the KH - Sunday Contest - WT December 15, 2004, page 24

  here is a pleasantly distracting activity to while away the hours the next time you are at the kingdom hall.. match the marrieds.

  on page 24 of the december 15, 2004 wt magazine is a picture of the 117th graduating class of the wtbts school of gilead.

  only one couple are actually seated together.. the first person to successfully name that couple wins the prize.

  I can't go back to the KH and the WTBTS killed forgot me when I DA'd from them so I don't get the latest propaganda. Do they still hold the graduations at the Queens Assy Hall... you know, the one with all those pagan Egyptian paintings and symbols on the front of it? I bet 'Ol C.T. Russell gets a big thrill everytime they meet there.

  Never been on one. Only went out with one girl since I quit the WT and she's 30 years younger than me. Nice girl, brains, looks like Kim Bassinger and helped me put the rest of the story together about the FDS and the WT. Just wasn't into searching deep things about biblical history, languages or technical crap like me so I let her break my heart and get hooked up with a Primitive Baptist minister. Oh well, with all the Amens and Praise Jesus' they do at their church, not to mention 'That 'Ol Rugged Cross' song they sing, I'm glad she found someone on her spiritual level. But hey, maybe that's what I need... an online dating service. Especially if its as therapeutic as this site.

  did anyone actually enjoy singing the kingdom melodies at the hall?

  some of them were fun to sing, some of them were corny.

  my brother use to sing them loud but without any sound coming out of his mouth.

  I liked Christian Dedication but... it and all the other 'pump yourself up to go out and tell lies to the sheep in FS' songs are soooooo self-serving compared to some of the ones I hear like 'Amazing Grace, How Great Thou Art, Holy Holy Holy and others that praise the real God and His Son since I started attending meetings at (OH GASP!!!, you dreadful apostate scum) a Christian Bible-believing church.
