  by KW13 in

  for anyone out there who think apostates are bitter, let me tell you...no they are not, and they're not apostates.

  that is a label from jw's.. firstly, my story.

  It's understandable to be bitter when you've realised that you've being taken for a ride.

  .

  and what other measures can be taken against a jw who does something the elders dissapprove of, short of disfellowshipping?.

  (this may sound like a dumb question but i was never a jw)

  Everything that you do for them is regarded as a privilege, not just major things as giving talks, or answering at the meetings, but reading at the book study, evening turning ON the lights or being the car park attendent is regarded as a privilege, and the crazy part is that many see it this way too, its a privilege to wipe there bums! excuse me ladies.

  Also, you said "a symbol", the WTS has used many pagan symbols in its history, you should have enought sense to put out which symbol are you referring to?

  its seems your were looking for a serious answer to your question, in that case I suggest you ask the Watchtower's Governing body.

  no good asking the Motor Machanic why the Butcher does things in that way, go to him.

  I also have too much too loose, I'm not afriad of being here, its great, but I'm afriad of being caught. Wife is a JW, kids are still in, all family and friends are JW's, its a complete life change if I leave and thats what the Watchtower wants, they call it Jehovahs' spirit that keeps the people in but its not, its the loving arrangment the call Disfellowshipping., its more like a gun against our heads, if we leave they pull the trigger.

  Besides, I find it interesting still being on the inside but knowing the real truth, knowing why so many are stressed and unhappy, how they blame all there depressions on this system but its the Watchtower way of life that does it, looking at an elder straight in the eyes and having no fear. Its almost fun haha.

  When I was at the MTS class, they gave us updates on the revelation book, when some of us gave them out to other JW friends we were told not to do that and to bring them back, what a joke! I think the WT don't really care what the 'Rank & File' are being told, as long as they stay there.

  It really shows the roots of the Watchtower and Charles russel. On the home page there is a special issue regarding their History with a photo of charles russell in the group of men. They still beleive in the Great Pyramid too. The Watchtower Society is nothing but a break-away from them.

  Kingdom Ministry issues

  by kristyann in

  2. friends

  okay, i am not sure about this, even though it's probably pretty obvious to everyone, but what exactly is the kingdom ministry magazine?

  it's something that is available only to active jws, right?

  i know that they don't go around handing it out like they do with the watchtower and awake!

  I am still an 'active' JW, to get the KM you need to be regular in the field or at least like me you need to give in a report monthly of your field work. It is not available to the public and never for sale. To get some info from it its easier to get it from the Watchtower CD, I beleive this is available to the public from the Watchtower Socity. But if you write to them they will send you a copy but someone will call on you hoping to convert you.

  Bizarre JW stories of enduring hardship

  by Vormek2.8 in

  1. jw

  i remember hearing of a faithful older brother who was attacked by vicious dogs while in service.

  even though his clothes were shredded and he was bleeding he continued walking door to door to finish his assigned territory for that day.

  Well, if its true then he was an idiot, he should've gone to the doctor, and I'm sure that any householder would've thought the same.
