In her 60 years as a Witness, Diane Warren, 83, of Camden, can't recall any convention focusing so much on the end of the world. "It's kind of scary because this might be the last assembly. It kept you on the edge of your seat, really made you pay attention," Warren said.
This because Jehovah's witnesses put their faith & hope in a manmade organization.
i was at the one day assembly at the weekend - we are the clay, jehovah is the potter.. this was the first assembly i have been at as a "thinking" person.. one of the talks mentioned how the world can "prime" our minds.
he said - people just follow what they hear, do not question it, believe anything.. and i thought - hmm, i am surrounded by people like that!!.
a young sister i know was up for baptism - when she stood up to say yes to the couple of questions i just wanted to shout "dont do it".
((( So there was no "new light" at this assembly? )))
Not directly but change was hinted at a few times.
Are you adaptable to change, the bethel brother asked? Do we follow the direction of the slave whatever it takes?
Definately preparing for changes.
2 were baptized - lowest in years.
As Jim Jones once said, "it's now time to drink the coolaid"..
Funny..
writetoknow, you can paste in those articles again if you like.
could you just put in the first two for now (the one with the sunset on the right side, and the one about the author's atheist friend?
no one is making anyone read this.
Just because you can’t see something does not mean it doesn’t exist.
"inherently gloomy about the prospect of alabama" because "all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours -- whereas all the testing says not really.".
well would you look at that...one little change and all the sudden no one is offended.
isn't getting offended a choice?
I went on a hunting trip last month for "White rednecks". The white meat is really tender right off the grill. I usually add a little hot sauce to spice it up. I have about 60 lbs. left in the standup freezer.
are there any religious magazines that have similar print run stats and distribution as the watchtower and awake?

Yes. "Demons guide to Gawd." & it's companion magazine "Belial Weekly"
having just read the 'exciting announcements at the service meeting' topic i am one happy apostate!.
i wanted to see how you would put these changes into conversation while speaking to a jehovah's witness?.
for example for myself' talking with my mum recently, she told me that gifts like tongues, prophecy, healing etc have stopped and this was mainly because the ones doing these things were annointed ones.. yes i accept this wouldn't stand as it is because actually, there are still annointed ones but why haven't we an outburst of different miracles now because hey, we are all potential annointed ones...i might start claiming to be a annointed to mum lol, tell her i left because i felt annointed but was forced to leave because doctrine taught otherwise...come next year omg karl is annointed!!!.
Everything about the WTBTS's teachings goes straight back to the demons.
Oh and I am one of the Anointed..
announced at my parents service meeting last night
I have the privilege of teaching two of the classes.
The first class is "Feed Jehovah’s little sheep in these critical times."
The second class is "Taking the lead , your role."
after being raised as a jw, my dad was df'd for the 2nd time in 1994. that year he lost a wife, 3 children, mother and brother, as well as every friend he had made throughout his 40 years of life.
over the years my sister and i gradually started contacting him, but never had a real father/daughter relationship.
a few years ago, during my divorce, he and i sat down and started discussing his feelings.
Wow that just cheered me up thanks..
i've been reading posts on this forum for almost a month now and one of the observations i've made is that the organizations's brainwashing is still deep within the minds of many of the posters here.
feelings of guilt, hopelessness, fear are all residual effects of the mind control.
when i broke free i came across a course in miracles by viking press that helped clear my mind and lay the path for a life of happiness and meaning.
This post does not mean anything...
