  fading/holidays

  by Drifting Away in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so for those that are fading, i have been fading for almost 6 months now.

  havent been to a meeting, assembly, service, etc.

  i no longer believe it is the truth.. how long did you wait before celebrating holidays, if in fact you are even celebrating them.

  It took me about a year a half before I could celebrate anything, and even then I couldn't enjoy because I was so racked with an unexplained guilt.

  I don't think there is a magic number as when to start. It's different for everyone. It is an amazing feeling when you can start celebrating birthdays and holidays with no guilt. I hope it takes you less time than it took me.

  Canadian Appeal Court decision made the news: Judges can overturn unfair church edicts

  http://news.nationalpost.com/news/religion/alberta-appeal-court-rules-judges-can-overturn-unfair-church-edicts.

  the other day, this court decision was posted on jwn along with a link to the court document, but few expected the media to pick up the story.

  so to all involved, i understand it was a surprise to see the story in print.

  Wow. This is really surprising. I can't see that ever happening in America.

  And I can't see how it would work to reverse a shunning edict. Sure, I suppose they could "reverse" a disfellowshipping, I guess, but how are they going to enforce a "no shunning order". I can't see how they can make a group of people not shun a person. The society would simply change it to a "conscience matter" and everybody would shun the person anyway. And if you don't, they might take away your mike privileges!

  Anthony Morris III Autobiography ... The Real Truth

  by Wild_Thing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the watchtower published anthony morris iii's autobiography last year ... "remembering my first love has helped me to endure" by anthony morris iii.

  i absolutely cannot believe how quickly he became a jehovah's witness.

  in the span of less than a year, he attended his first meeting, studied, got baptized, became a pioneer, and married a jw girl.

  I think all of those bullshit autobiographies that they publish of the Governing Body should be written like this. They'd be more honest and not coated with their self-righteous goo of half truths and lies.

  Science the bible and some telling scriptures

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if one reads about god creating the earth with any critical thinking you'll notice that he created vegetation and the trees before the sun.

  another one that i just read about was the stories about the golden calves.

  one story involves the making of a golden calf by aaron and the other is about the golden calves that were set up at bethel and i think dan.

  If anyone claimed that god speaks to them personally.....

  they'd be viewed as completely mentally ill and laughed at.. so, how do the governing body get away with it?.

  Because they have learned how to hide their crazy a lot better. You don't hear them talk about God speaking to them or coming to them in a dream, they use vague terms like "his holy spirit directed us" and they were just given a "knowingness" that they were anointed.

  What is the Education Level of the Governing Body members?

  by Wild_Thing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i would love to compile a list of the education obtained by the governing body members both past and present.

  can anyone provide any information to get me started?.

  it still amazes me they think they can translate ancient languages with an 8th grade education.

  I think the problem is that we have all misunderstood what they meant when they said Holy Spirit helped them. It was really Holly Spirit, a cute little Bethelite sister that brought them coffee. I bet that Holly was so helpful.

  Well, I hope for their sake, that "Holy Spirit" at least graduated high school.

  The typos I have in there are driving me crazy and I can't edit them! Lesson learned. Only edit when you're sober.
