  he's a good friend of mine who will have plenty to add here.

  (he's written volumes on the dubs) having recently attained some much needed freedom he was able to join the forum.. he may be a little hesitant to come forth at first, but with a little coaxing...he's got a good "coming out of the org.

  " story and lots of insight!.

  What are the 5 biggest WTS scandals?

  by AK - Jeff in

  2. experiences

  if any have followed my latest thead you know that i am scheduled for 'termination' by a jc in about two weeks time.. i am deciding what if anything to do about the matter - i.e; da letter, just ignore and let then df me, or some other option.

  one appealing option is writng a da letter, not to the elders, but instead to three or four former friends in the truth, explaining the reasons for my exit, based entirely on conscience.

  i have the base of this letter underway, but would like to list succinctly three or four of the more significant matters of moral interpetude by the wts.

  No Toll In Canaan
  
  I tried to walk the straight and narrow
  On a road both crooked and wide
  Hoping to make it to the river Jordan
  So I could cross over to the other side
  
  But the way was blocked by the righteous few
  Who tried to tell me what to do
  Demanding fees to let me through
  But there ain’t no toll in Canaan
  
  There ain’t no map, ain’t no plan
  We make our way the best we can
  There’s no one path to the promised land
  And there ain’t no toll in Canaan
  
  I watch them marching into battle
  Trumpets sounding, banners unfurled
  Claiming the mantle of a pious nation
  Bringing the gospel to a heathen world
  
  I stood to protest, mourn, and speak
  They said my choices made me weak
  I tried to turn the other cheek
  ‘cause there ain’t no toll in Canaan
  
  There ain’t no map, ain’t no plan
  We make our way the best we can
  There’s no one path to the promised land
  And there ain’t no toll in Canaan
  
  From near and far the pilgrims gathered
  Called by revelation and grace
  Everyone traveled on a different journey
  Seeking redemption in a common place
  
  And some who prophesy and pray
  Insist there’s only one true way
  But it’s getting clearer every day
  That there ain’t no toll in Canaan
  
  There ain’t no map, ain’t no plan
  We make our way the best we can
  There’s no one path to the promised land
  And there ain’t no toll in Canaan
  
  There ain’t no map, ain’t no plan
  We make our way the best we can
  There’s no one path to the promised land
  And there ain’t no toll in Canaan
  And there ain't no toll in Canann

  If you could make and distribute a bumper stick to open minds.......

  by whyizit in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you could make and distribute bumper stickers to use as a tool to open the minds of jws or cult members, what would you put on them?.

  keep in mind that you would like to open thier minds, yet not offend them.

  something that any person could stick on their bumper and the jws would not be able to find reason to label them as opposers or apostates.

  If you've had to sit in front of three older men and describe in graphic terms just what happened with sister so-and-so in the car last night-

  Given a public talk about the trap of recreation and then cut out before the Watchtower to make a tee time- (actually happened)

  in putting some final touches on the letter to my mother (yes the one i've been preparing for about six months,) i came across this article from a 1984 watchtower.

  I just printed it and read the whole thing to my girlfriend. Much of it brought tears to my eyes as I'm going thru the same thing with my family.

  Brilliant work again Confession, Thank you for sharing.
