many "babyboomers" came into the watchtower society as the result of having studied the short publication the truth that leads to eternal life.

now, by reading the following even shorter publication they can exit the watchtower (or other similar groups) even faster.

real truth leads to eternal life

"Baby, I think its time we move in 2gethor" HELP!!!!!

my boyfriend and i are gettin pretty serious.

before we met he was never in a committed relationship and believed marriage was just a piece of paper that helped during tax season.

then he meets me and suddenly i catch him online looking at rings.

wow..a month..that is VERY fast. Things are VERY new. if he is worth it, then he will see that you are worth waiting for. Imagine if you go through with this and then things don't work out. You'll turn your life upside down with no support and no one to turn to. I'm not saying stay in the org. I think your safest bet is to make a network of friends outside the organization first and start seeing each other openly but living separately where you are not tied to him financially or in another situation you may not be able to escape. Find a middle ground, it is usually your best option.

today i received an email from a 13yo attempting to answer them, which i thought was very sweet.

> cross and actually have it on the watchtower back in the day.

I don't think you should live your life by anyone else's clock. YOu do thing when you're damn well ready! If he isn't willing to wait for you, then he isn't worth it... On the other hand, you can't leave him hanging forever. How long have you been seeing each other?

Jesus' warning regarding groups like JWs

by truth_about_the_truth in

the very first thing that jesus said when asked about the signs of the end: .

matt 24:4: and jesus answered them, "take heed that no one leads you astray.

5: for many will come in my name, saying, `i am the christ,' and they will lead many astray.".

Kristofer

don't forget:

1Ti 4:1	Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
1Ti 4:2	Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
1Ti 4:3	Forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
1Ti 4:4	For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

the faithful and discreet slave....... who are they really?

by primitivegenius in

i was asked.......... since i dont belive what the witlessness do.... who do i consider to be the faithful and discreet slave?

now im not ashamed to admit i havent quite figured that out yet, so my reply was, it could be any minister who truely looks out for their congregation.

so my question is this....... what and who do those scriptures represent?

Kristofer

I think if you look at the parables before and after this, it is the idea conveyed that is important. We are all the faithful & discreet slave. We are all called to be mindful and spiritually ready for his 2nd Coming or our death which is imminent. Readiness is the point.
