the public talk was how satan uses his demons to stumble us.satan knows where we live,work and what we do at work and home.his demons use television,music,the internet,movies,sex and apostates to stumble faithful jehovah's witnesses.. the "spiritually weak" are what the demons look for because they can be attacked so easily.these are the ones who don't have studies with their families,watch too much television,go on the internet looking at apostate sites, brothers and sisters who are obsessed with sex,taking too many vacations,the love of money and all the pleasures of this world.that is why the wts loose so many members each year.. what they never tell you the real reason why most members leave are:,.
lack of love,elders as judges arrangment,inconstistency in teachings,1914 generation change,theological dishonesty,scholastic ineptitude,favoritism within the boe,hypocrisy, and false prophesies.. .

Was this a "Special Talk" or from a new talk outline given to edlers. If a new talk outline, can you find out the outline # and I'll post a scanned copy of it (I have most of the current outlines).

An Elder from our congregation gave the talk. It was nothing special. Same old junk. I have no way of knowing what outline # it was. If you have anything on this talk please post it.
the whole objective of the wts is to print as many books and magazines and sell them house to house with free labor from its members.. looking at these other ministries,they too print as many books as possible and sell them to it's members and viewing audience.the donations they take in are in the millions.
some of these ministers are payed a huge salary and live in massive homes which have been shown on television.. my questions are: don't all religions use their members for gains in the name of god?
don't all religions own massive properties,schools,and personal properties all in the name of god?

I agree that there are many small Ministries where they help the homeless,widows,and people who are out on their luck. I even respect Mother Teresa. I just don't like these television preachers where they are just marketers.
As a Jehovah's Witness if you are down on your luck,they have no program to find you a job,find some shelter,feed you or find you clothing.Then I know that they are not true christians.

Don't you think that the Joel Osteen Ministry is like too sweet? It's like eating too much honey where you throw up after. I hate when they make all the members repeat after themselves and make the members look and shake hands with each other. Five minutes of that I'm done.

They are just more hucksters making a living off of gullible people.

I was watching a program where Joyce Meyer was paid a little over $700,000 last year. Benny Hinn has a massive home in California and flies on a personal jet.

it doesn't take long to know every jw belief.
maybe after a few months, you know all that there is to know.. then, every meeting for the rest of your life will be only repitition.
.
My wife always asks,''So how was the meeting?'' I always reply,''It was a repeat of a repeat of a repeat."
if you had your chance who would you want to meet face to face, talk to them, spend some time picking their brain, have a dinner with, get to know better?.
i have many but want to hold off for now!!!.

What a wonferful forum you put together! I enjoy reading all the accounts from all the members.It's nice to know that some people feel the same about the WTS.
Female: Mary
She is well informed.Tells it like it is.Kicks the WTS where it hurts.Shows woman have as much knowledge than these old men in the WTS.Hope she continues being relentless towards these old men who's power and lies went to their heads.
many of us who were once jehovah's witnesses had a measure of happiness in our lives.
for me, i had a hope in the future, i had answers as to why we are all here, i believed in a loving god who looked after me and cared about me, i had answers to all of lifes big questions.. when i found out the truth about the witnesses, i was lost in a great big world and now had no answers other than the fact that what i once believed was "the truth" in actuality wasn't the truth.i now had to start all over in my search for truth.
for me, it wasn't long before i found what i thought was the truth since i always believed in the bible.

It's hard sitting on the fence.Being a Witness,you have to be all in.That way, whatever is said and demanded of you,won't cause any conflict.There are so many in my family who are so happy with being a witness.
When you find out the ''truth'' is a big lie,then you sense a sigh of relief.No more meetings,service,mandatory reading of Watchtower lies,and rules and regulations.
If you sit on the fence because of family like yourself and I,it's very hard.You can't mix the two.You need to be true to yourself and that's where the pain comes in. I wish I never heard of this stupid religion!
