  i rang london bethel and asked to speak to someone about the recent case in the british press about a jw child sex offender.

  the lady at reception asked if i was a witness.

  i replied that i can't see what that has got to do with it i just would like to ask some questions.

  Nice post Thomas

  As far as I'm concerned it's always been the understanding of the JW's that Elders were appointed by holy spirit ,and they don't like it being brought up to them and I'd bet you'd get alot of different answers .

  I questioned the local elders about one of them who was made to step down after it was discovered he had commited adultery .The thing is though he had done it 14 years previous to his owning up ,and he did it before he was appointed an elder ,which was not long after his adultery.

  They invariably look down at the floor searching for an answer.

  blood fractions not allowed

  by pippy in

  i just spoke to a friend who was a witness years ago when we were kids and she told me an interesting thing.

  when she went to the hospital to discuss things due to her being pregnant and going to have a baby at this hospital , they told her that the brisbane and gold coast hospitals were no longer going to offer jw's blood fractions.

  they are sick and tired of all the unclear sayings and that ppl dont even know what they will accept or not , and they are having so many problems that they have a new form to be filled out.

  I think the issue is more clouded in QLd because they have different paperwork handed out at the JW meetings to the other States because Qld'rs have different state laws.

  anyone writing about Dave Madzay obviously never new him!!!!!!!!!!!!

  by donna4174 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i am writing because i am tired of people talking about rumours that they heard about dave madzay,he was the kindest , most intelligent man i ever new, yes he was df but only jehovah can judge him for things he did, no one else.he was an elder very high up in bethel who gave the most wonderful talks, helped many people,brought a lot of people into the truth and yet when he died not one jw attended his funeral.

  how sad that a man who was so high up in bethel could be treated like this...........i was brought up in the truth until i was 15 , and turned away because of how dave was treated, even though dave had jehovah in his heart right up until his last breath and did everything he could do to be reinstated but sadly never was.........................i know i knew him

  2. beliefs

  we see alot of topics on the board about the end of the wbt$..i don`t think that will happen in our lifetime........so..lets change our focus..kingdom halls are getting fewer and fewer jw`s in them..congregations are being dissolved and kingdom halls are sold off..many jw`s are very unhappy and we see alot of them on this board.....the wbt$ is a billion dollar organization,they will survive for along time to come..........how about the jehovah`s witness`s?.......with fewer and fewer members..information about the wbt$ on the internet..and..some very depressed jehovah`s witness`s looking for a way out of the cult they are in.....will the "jehovah`s witness`s" survive?...outlaw

  I think the org will change as it always has according to the times.

  One thing it has against it though is TIME ,after all it is a belief based on foretelling an inevitale ending....so if it does'nt end surely their comes a point in time where the twisting of scriptures must end ,and people will get deflated in faith for that brand of religion .So to survive it must lose it's history and re-invent a new one .In part this has been done for it's hard to get older publications and the JW's are kept distracted and busy with the new stuff and discouraged from reading and questioning the old.

  This site like others is a strong weapon along with time to expose the JW religion from with-in and that's where the damage occurs ,I believe , not so much to ordinary folk who hear about them on the news for they are just another religion to them .That's why the GB has always fought so hard to fight any free thinking and questioning by labelling it apostate .

  To say they will disappear is a hope only in the short term ,but they will change for they will in time drag up scriptures like this one from time to time and focus on it in their KH talks,Their Assembly talks and literature ,and this will push the rank and file to try again when they feel low on energy.................................

  2 Pet 3 : vs3,4

  For YOU know this first, that in the last days there will come ridiculers with their ridicule, proceeding according to their own desires 4 and saying: "Where is this promised presence of his? Why, from the day our forefathers fell asleep [in death], all things are continuing exactly as from creation’s beginning."

  They know their arsenal well and have always used it according to the times,but eventually TIME will defeat the org as we know it today and as it has been.

  This is sickening and along those lines I asked our old book study conductor whether DNA from a rape kit be acceptable as a "witness".

  He did'nt know so he researched it and told my wife some time later it was {the trouble here is I don't know if this is WTS policy or him just reasoning on it}

  Still a problem is whether this stands up as only one witness or covers two witnesses because it is forensic evidence.

  This leads to interpretation does'nt it ,as forensic evidence was'nt around in bible times so how is it now the WTS can bend their 2 witness rule based on their understanding of the scriptures and put aside two living people needed as evidence in favour of forensic evidence.?This to me shows they have it wrong, for they are now twisting their own rule ,they say they get from the bible, in favour of a modern procedure .This does not mean I agree with the 2 witness rule ,I'm just exposing their hypocrisy. Damn I feel disgust for that scum.

  Is it The Truth? Does this answer work?

  i know that a jw that wants to believe in the wts will not listen to any form of logic or reason.

  however, could the following reasoning reach the thinking ability of a few jehovah's witnesses?.

  BrentR ..Had this procedure and it was extremely painful for little benefit and short term - L3,4,5 and two disks in the neck as well .The surgeon then suggested a year in traction in hospital getting bolted up but I said forget it .

  Injuries 18 years ago ,had injections about 12 years ago but then stumbled on a procedure called (excuse spelling) percatanecous myotomy ,which entails having the nerves severed in the muscle tissue ,but they heal and relieve the pain like nothing else did. And then over the years saline injections to the back ligaments which make them stronger to support the damaged area. PM me if you want to know more. I was a cripple ,but work regularly in the building trade now.

  Erandir .....It is only a "what if" I would not like to hear of a event like this in reality ,but I am surprised that in a big city like New York with so many WTS prominent buildings and the activity of them and by whom ,that someone has'nt tried to take exception to the GB.

  I guess they would seize the opportunity to martyr them , but then ,how many non JW people around the world knew that Rutherford and his cronies were in jail and who knows or cares now?
