  WHY the JWD SITE IS VITALLY IMPORTANT!!

  by Seeker4 in

  2. friends

  this discussion board is vitally important now, and will become even more important in the coming years.

  lots of reasons, but here's just one from my own experience: .

  for many years i was a super zealous, firm believing jw.

  I also agree that this site is extremely important!! When I started opening my eyes, I first found e-watchman's site, it helped me to begin questioning the Borg...but I didn't stop there, before long I found JWD and although it was scary in the beginning, I kept lurking and reading and researching....and eventually the blinders came off! I don't post as much anymore but always check up on what's going on here and have referred quite a few that are now lurkers and some members on here....soooo it really is a valuable tool to help these poor people open their eyes and join the real world, THANK YOU ALL!!!!!!!

  Love,

  This is great!!! thanks for posting it Dansk. Imagine how many Billions will be lost by the big pharmaceutical companies if stem cells solve these health issues for people, no more organ rejection drugs, diabetes drugs and all the organizations that exist around all the major diseases like Cancer, heart disease etc. that's the reason Bush and his cronies don't want stem cell research!

  i'm thinking this morning at the enormous effort required to leave the witnesses.

  that you all found your way here is amazing.

  you are a select group of strong people, who will not allow life or any organization to knock you down.

  but my dear friend was with most of the day while we went togerther to make funeral arrangements.. that was really hard on me.

  Assembly Hall shakedown - Columbia SC

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  from someone who attended:.

  there was a big elders meeting in columbia sc on saturday june 9.. around 240 congregations, 2000+ elders.. the society wants to build a brand new assembly hall in columbia, sc, to handle the huge influx of jws moving to the us southeast from up north.. they expect to have it done in 34 months (finished by april 2010).

  total cost estimated to be approximately $8 - 9 million.. they want to have the whole thing paid for by the time the building is done - no long term loans.. they "strongly suggested" that each of the 240 congregations commit to supporting "their share" of the expense.

  The organization has also agreed to meet here in 2008 and 2009, he said, and tentatively agreed to hold their sessions here from 2010 through 2013. The number of sessions may swell to four annually, Purvis quoted congregation officials as saying.

  Good one Danny, I guess the BS about the end being so close is just BS, since they have this place booked till 2013, what, weren't they saying last year with all the different campaigns that the end was imminent and now this? I think I will email this to some people. Thanks for sharing Danny!

  Perry, thank you for sharing that, it was very inspiring! We all live in this world yet, each one sees differently, some choose focus on what is ugly and negative, and yes sometimes those things are inescapable, BUT when there is an opportunity to see the grandness and beauty of this world we should take it in and live that moment, this way when life is not so pretty we can close our eyes and relive the beauty and gather ourselves and keep going!

  Thank you for sharing,

  MOUTHY NEEDS YOUR PRAYERS AND/OR SUPPORT

  by Mary in

  2. friends

  our dear mouthy is really having a tough time right now and needs our support and/or prayers.

  as some of you may know, she's already lost 3 of her children in death and the other one to the borg.

  in the last couple of days, she's had to worry about her 2 year old great-granddaughter being in the hospital with an illness and yesterday, her daughter had a suspicious mole removed from her back and was told there is a lump in her breast which has to be biopsied.

  DEMAND THE RESIGNATION OF THE GOVERNING BODY

  by Pistoff in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  in view of the breathtaking mistakes made by the governing body in the last 10 years, the time has come for all with influence in or out of the organization of jehovah's witnesses to ask for the resignation of the entire governing body.

  <br>in the past 5 years alone, we have seen the defacto president of the watchtower society, theodore jarascz, dismiss reporters from the bbc without addressing their questions about sex abuse; they have denied repeatedly that there is a problem in the 2 witness to sex abuse policy; they have arranged the excommunication of whistleblowers in the organization, implying that they are spiritually deficient or worse.

  <br>thousands of members of this fellowship have been sexually abused by family or friends in the group, only to be told that it didn't happen, that they misunderstood it, and if they could not produce a second witness or the accused confessed, they were told that they must be silent or face shunning.

  I really think they are irrelevant, pretty much puppets now, the ones that I think are really running the show is the Writing dept., the Svc. Dept. Legal Dpt., and most of all the stockholder (s) whoever they are, this racket is filling the pockets of someone out there!
