I didn't even know i WAS an apostate!

by GrandmaJones in

i am currently just sick with grief.

i can't believe this is happening to me.

all the jokes i've made about me never "falling out of the truth" and self confidence about my spirituality.

Just wanted to express my respect for someone in their 60's or 70's who has spent their whole life immersed in the Watchtower to then have the HONESTY to admit and accept they were in bull shit the whole time.

Thank you and I wish you well.

If Jehovah God Chose Russell & The Bible Students Why Did He Give Them So Much Inaccurate Information?

hmmm.

either jehovah god (the perfect god) didn't give that information.

it never was the "truth" in the first place..

''I wish I had read these books sooner. They kept me busy reading current stuff, and so busy with meetings and field service that you don't have the time.

All the wittnesses should read Russell. They'd leave in droves.''

Very true. I remember being so bored at the Watchtower study that I would very often go into the 2nd school room where the library was situated. I started reading the older publications and light bulbs were flashing up in my head.

I wanted to shout out ''forget studying the latest Watchtower's, read these books!''

I too wish I had read them earlier in my indoctrination.

Questions From Readers - October 20th, 2010

by sd-7 in

why are jehovah's witnesses as a whole not permitted to read the elder's manual?.

on the first day of the unfermented cakes, well before his arrest and sacrificial death, jesus christ instructed his disciples on how to prepare for the passover.

when he did so, he did not provide advance, detailed instructions for all of his disciples; instead, he dispatched only two of them to find a suitable location, which he evidently had already planned with the householder.

''May we wisely trust in him by trusting those whom he trusts''

Brilliant work

Thank you

WT December 15, 2010

wt december 15, 2010. snippets from this watchtower are below.

keeping in mind that all articles are written with an agenda, to address problems in the organization or to pave the way for new guidelines, look at what i highlighted.

my conclusions are:.

Or an alternative way of looking at it is from the GB's view. Thus

''And before leaving the earthly scene, Jesus indicated that he would appoint US to provide spiritual food for his people.''

''In fact, your attitude toward us is a major factor that will determine how you will be judged during the coming great tribulation. Thus, one aspect of the way you gain a blessing is by giving your loyal support to us.''

Are White Blood Cells Passed to a Baby via Breastfeeding?

by ThomasCovenant in

having just read ''just n from bethel''s post http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/198904/1/those-that-just-one-day-were-not-there-anymore .

i have to ask is it true that white blood cells are passed to a baby when breastfeeding?

if it is true then surely jw's cannot breastfeed..

New article on Bulgaria and Blood Transfusions

by jwfacts in

i have published a new article on bulgaria and the change to blood transfusion disfellowshipping policy during the 1990's.

it outlines what appears to have been perjury by the watchtower society, and also is another example of political involvement.

it is at http://jwfacts.com/watchtower/bulgaria-blood-transfusions.php.

ThomasCovenant

''there certainly can be no doubt that it is [a] direct lie that Witnesses do not face "controls or sanctions" if they have blood.''

I wonder what the European Court of Human Rights would think of this article.
