  i have been researching the wt since i briefly posted on this board and i have come to the conclusion that the wt is nothing but a man made organization.

  i have been researching the wt non stop since december.

  hi everyone, i have a friend, who wants me to attend the meetings again.

  he has said that the faithful and discreet slave are inviting those that have not attended for awhile, to come to the memorial, and then there is going to be a special talk in april-may, and then they want us to come to the convention in the summer.

  which apparently will be about welcoming those who once were involved to come back.

  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?

  First off, there is only ONE scripture and it's a parable. It's a great example whether we are talking about a job or taking care of someone's house...but that is all it is, nowhere can you find that a group is designated as "The Faithful and Discreet Slave", it is an assumed title, and with the responsibility that they claim goes with it, it's a pretty arrogant assumption to make...isn't it?

  Fantastic music site I just discovered! FANTASTIC!

  by nicolaou in

  just type in a song that is typical of your tastes and the site will create a 'station' that continually plays music you should like.

  fantastic to have in the background if you are surfing, even better if your pc is the heart of your music system.. it does not play requests, that isn't what it's about, although your original selection will end up in the playlist.

  by the way, did i say i think this is fantastic!.

  The fade...

  it is funny how the fade works...how easy it is to do.

  i remember when i lived back home, people always knew what i did and who with, but when i moved away they couldn't keep tabs on me anymore.

  i was kinda bad right before i left the area, so i assumed everyone just figured i left the organization.

  It is interesting the stages we go through, isn't it? I remember being so passionate about getting people out when I first learned about The Lie, but I gave up a big part of my life for the time I was that way.

  The good thing is I met a lot of great people who were in various stages of recovery and it helped me to see where I wanted to go with things. I don't even know how to describe the way I feel about it now, so most of the time I don't say anything, because it's so foreign even to me now. I guess I finally feel at home with myself...that's a good way to put it.

  Looking back even on this post now there are so many "I's" in it, in the past everything would be rewritten because I thought it sounded selfish, and most of the time if speaking to someone who doesn't know everything it would be changed. But now I know it's ok for something to be about me for a little while, it was always about what everyone else thought I should do and be and think for so long...why not my own motives for a while?

  It doesn't mean being selfish, but continuing to learn who I am...because I never really knew me before.

I was kinda bad right before I left the area, so I assumed everyone just figured I left the organization. It was true but at the same time, no one really asked me or called to check on me. Maybe it's because the Org keeps everyone so busy they don't have time to think of such trivial things like how their family members are.

  Last time I went back finally allowed me to let it go...they are all like nobody to me now, when I saw them, it was like seeing a bunch of people that I went to school with or something, not family.

  It feels good to be free, I never thought I would get over the hurt of "family" not giving a sh*t...I guess now it's my turn.

  Same for the truth...no emotion whatsoever about it. It's almost impossible to describe the peace of mind that comes with that.

  E-mail response from an old dub friend......

  okay, so i suppose i asked for this...but regardless i'm ready to puke!

  last week i e-mailed an old "dub" friend from another city.

  she's had some health issues and i hadn't heard from her for a few months, and wanted to know how she was doing....her brother also recently got married and i asked about that as well.

  You can tell by the e-mail she is way in...you probably will be wasting you time responding if you try to reason with her, she may delete it as soon as she gets that apostate feeling.

  It's hard to look at family and friends in the eyes when you see them staring at you like you are a murderer or something...I was angry the first time I saw it...now I feel pity for them. They just don't know any different and aren't strong enough of character to really examine themselves, much less the organization.

  They're elders....they don't follow any rules, even their own.
