  do any of you find it weird that a lot of the ex jw's here and at other sites are in there 30's??.

  it's like the jw's have lost a whole generation..

  How To Repel Jehovah's Witnesses at Your Door

  by WTWizard in

  the doorbell rings, and it is jehovah's witlesses.

  this is not all that unusual, but in this case you have made it clear that you do not want to be called on.

  there is a no trespassing sign prominently displayed on your door, and they know you are absolutely not interested.

  Become one and say you need shepherding ,that ought to scare 'em off.

  If that fails and you are male , just stand naked at the front door while stroking your appendage and say how wonderful we are made.What a kak

  Do Jehovah's Witnesses REALLY Love Others?

  by minimus in

  think about it---witnesses proclaim that their identifying mark is love.

  they are the "most loving organization in the world".

  they personify christ and are the only "true christians".

  We have one dear old delusional sister still loving us though she has to do it secretly for fear of the elders.

  As for the rest well I compare them to the TV show BIG BROTHER and the housemates....they all gush love to each other though they don't really know each other or really care ..Why? well they know whose watching don't they? and don't forget the prize in the end

  SCULLY said "This is notwithstanding her ability to do so. Why would having a penis make a man more qualified to teach than a woman?

  Well a cynic would probably answer "Well because she ain't got the balls!" I just thought you left ya self wide open there LOL ,but if i think about some of the most stimulating scriptural discussions I've had ,most would be with women especially ones up in years who've put alot of thought into what they believe.

  When I was a JW I used to puzzle about men being the only ones in charge and able to teach as say Elders and MS's do.Frankly alot of the leaders were absolute dropkicks who were heavy drinkers and cowards who failed as to the biblical qualifications of a spiritual leader. And yet many women I went witnessing and bible studying and even street witnessing with were great teachers ,comforters and examples and yet alot of men failed miserably in these areas.

  Well I could'nt read all of your post for you see it's pointless for you are wrong ,plainly you talk in circles ,you acknowlege "the thing heard" is needed first and yet that is exactly what I was saying and then you still go on about faith comes first .

  Humility is needed to hear and accept so one can have faith .And to say I'm arrogant -well how dare you, I give you an opportunity to discuss thoughts and you insult me!

  It's plain for all to see here you lack the humility "your" lord requires from all who approach and are accepted by him .You are just another teller of your own delusional stories ,same old tactic ,if you don't agree with someone you just rubbish them go back to the WTS you'll fit in just fine .

  Excellent point Darth ,it does seem unfair that he did'nt realy leave us tour own devices did he?

  It then leads us to our day then ,what if man goes much further in his scientific endeavors like what we see with cloning, grandmothers giving birth to their daughters children etc ? Where will it end and when does God say again what he said at the tower of Babel .Does he again step in because we might crack the DNA code to live forever with no sickness? Will we still need him or will he just kill us all for having the audacity to prove that we can use the brain he gave us? mmmmmmm.........

  Hi Aguest ,sorry to be so long replying ,been busy , I'm not going to anylyze point by point your reply for you are sincere in your beliefs but I would like to say that humility is really important to the lord .

  Not that all approach him on bended knee but that they have a capacity ,even an inner humility that we with our eyes may not see for people may be, say, in an important job for instance and that gives them a demeanor that may hide this potential humility that others wish to extinguish within themselves as a percieved weakness ,but the lord looks for this .

  Scriptually this can be demonstrated by the disciples trying to shoo away the children from the lord but he chastised them for the Kingdom belongs to such like ones ,that is ones willing to humble themselves .

  That is why I disagree with you confessing the lord expects faith first for faith is not gained unless knowlege is given first so a humble heart can respond to it .Otherwise we would be saying the lord is racially prejudiced in the end for he and the spirit are rejecting millions of chinese,indians etcetc for not having faith first when geographically they have'nt been given any knowlege because of where they live and never had the predominance of opportunity that you've had in America to her the lords voice - in other words how could the lord ever call on someone who has never heard of him simply because of their geographic locality! How can that one put faith in him ,you make itsound like it's their fault for not believing in him.

  It's that type of thinking that reminds me of the WTS who say Armaggeddon could be tomorrow and therefore condemning billions simply for their locality.

  letter from my MOM(response to COC)

  purplesofa, .

  thanks for sharing this book with me.

  although i'm sure this book is accurate and these things have happened within the governing body, it did happen a long time ago and even the "annoited" are imperfect men.. after alot of thought and prayer i chose to stay a witness- an active witness to my ability which is now limited.

  I think you've done well Purps ,it must be very hard for her to leave something she sees as helping her through some difficult times.

  She has read COC and the seeds are there and your continued love will help your relationship and even an accord of tolerance is better for now than the spiteful hatred that some spit at their relatives.

  It can't be viewed as a situation that needs to be won for she has her own dignity even through her misconceptions of the WTS and patience is needed to hold your your treasured relationship. Some of us wish we had love from parents even though it's conditional at times.

  I liked your presentation but I'm afraid it does sound a bit like someone just re explaining what the WTS has said. How come it's so unclear what the bible is supposed to teach ? It should be easy to understand for humble people like those Jesus taught and accepted him?

  It seems reasonable that proud at heart would be blinded to the "truth" for Gods spirit would not accept these ,but we have a dilemna of a world with millions,possibly billions ,who seem humble but are not aparently accepted by the Lord and only those that pretend to be humble and are fairly intelligent IQ wise that seem to pick up the power trip that is being a religious leader and then command obedience to themselves in the name of the Lord - should'nt the call be distinct?

  I also question your statement that Ministerial servants are men and women and that you come on here proclaiming clarity of the bible message given to you ,Is this then a hidden agenda on your part on taking to yourself headship that the bible and the lord may not wish you to have.

  I respectively await your reply as just another bewildered ex whose perhaps a little tired of the uncertainness of the promises of religion .

  Did you get offended when people would refer to you as 'a jehovah witness'?

  by Pioneer Spit...oh, i mean Spirit in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  and correct them and say, 'no no you hump, i'm one of jehovah's witnesses', as in, 'i'm not alone fella, i'm one of many.

  you mess with me, you mess with all of us.

  do you not know that at any time i could summon a legion of other witnesses?'.
