  it is really sad and shocking that the court did not rule in the girls favor.

  elsewhere posted the link to the court documents in another thread, but here it is again: http://www.courts.state.nh.us/supreme/opinions/2005/berry081.htm .

  The Only True Church

  by danielweatherlee in

  1. watchtower

  .

  does god have a true church on the earth today?yes,and i will reveal it.it is the free will baptist church,which is true in every sense.they preach jesus,they study god's word correctly and rightly divide the word of truth.they are not led by a distant leader,they are led by their local leader chosen by god.if the sign out front doesn't say free will baptist then you are in the wrong church.look for that sign,and then you've found the right church.

  SNEAKY Bastards!

  by Jez in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my husband (non-jw) just called me from work, seems 2 people walked into his workplace, walks up to him and says, "can you put these in your coffee room?

  " at the same time shoving 2 mags upside down into his hand.

  he was busy, says, "sure" (thinking nothing of it).

  As JWs, ever met any annointed ?

  by greendawn in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in your time as jws did you ever meet any of the annointed?

  did they have good christian personalities and what did they think of the wts and its governing body ?

  i met one and he was very unhappy with the way the gb treated him and generally the way they run this society, he told me he wrote them two letters containing a long list of complaints with full scriptural support but he was ignored, first letter got a reply amounting to "no need to write to us" the second one no reply at all.

  "I prayed for you"

  by Scully in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if you aren't a "believer", does it bother you when someone says "i'll pray for you" or "i prayed for you"?.

  one of my colleagues is an incredibly kind and sweet person, and i know she says it because she believes she's doing something good on my behalf.

  i always say "thank you for thinking of me", because i know that's the spirit she's intending to convey and that she cares about the situation i'm in vis-a-vis my jw relatives, but she knows i no longer believe in god (at least not in the sense that she does) - i wonder does she think that a few prayers are going to change my mind?

  A Great WTS Article

  by AshtonCA in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hey all, i have been doing a lot of research on my own now that i'm no longer in contact with my mother.

  i can't believe how much she is still in the 'truth' even though she left 10 years ago.

  everything that she has been "learning" over the last 10 years after our departure really isn't any different than it was when we were still in.

  Help me out with a list of loaded language JW buzz words

  by Check_Your_Premises in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am preparing a summary of methods to use to build rapport with the jw cult member.

  the summary will attempt to follow the methods used in the strategic interactive approach, which is described in steven hassan's book, releasing the bonds.. one of the things a person who has a loved one in a cult has to do is understand the loaded language.

  as we all know the jw have just such lexicon of buzzwords.

  funeral again

  by kilroy2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  well my wife's grandmother died a couple of days ago.

  the services will be on monday, anne ritchie, not that it is not expected she was 90. not exactly a spring chicken.. my problem is two fold, my wife's parents have not contacted her or tried to contact her for quite some time.

  and when they do her mother stops by her place of work unannounced for "a chat", so now that my wife's mother has lost her best friend [donna never cut the cord] she calls my wife for the funeral, i personally do not want her to go, but i cant tell my wife not to go, and i would like to be there to support her, but after my mother died, and i had to sit through a propaganda speech when it was supposed to be about my families loss.
