"What do you enjoy about being Jehovah's Witness and what do you enjoy least?"

I will answer the second part. For all intents and purposes I was born into the religion. It was all I knew. In 1974 I pioneered in the small town that I lived in before going to 'serve' at Bethel. I tried to contact as many of my ex- schoolmates as I could to warn them about the coming war of Armageddon and placed Truth books with them and witnessed to some of my ex-teachers. One fellow took the Truth book from me and said I believe you Sparky1 and thanks for coming to see me and warning me. When I walked into my shop this morning at 8:00 am he was standing at the counter. I HATE THAT THE WATCHTOWER SOCIETY MADE A FOOL AND AN ASS OUT OF ME! It has been over 40 years and still no Armageddon.

"the Kingdom work is expanding at an accelerated pace"

by Londo111 in

if recent intel is true, there is only a .23% increase worldwide in 2015. .

notice what is increasing is not the average publisher count, according to the above watchtower quote to spin the bethel downsizing, but the work.

"the little one will become a thousand and the small one a mighty nation.

"Accelerate, accelerating, accelerated ? How in the Hell can I fit this chart into my next ranting and raving on JWTV.Org? The numbers on the new Worldwide Service Report just don't add up. I've got it! Jehovah's chariot is changing direction and velocity and is now backing up to take a better look at his organization. That's it! We just can't know what is going on at this time from a 'human standpoint'. Shit, I'm going to knock 'em dead. LISTEN, OBEY AND BE BLESSED!" -Tony Tight Pants

I just did a Google search on Eugene Walker. Some of the titles of his books look to be similar in content to that other ex-Witness self help guru Firpo Carr. Take a look for yourself:

Can you prove that WT policy of shunning is unscriptual? Will soon be discussing with somebody, give me all your ammo!

by EndofMysteries in

will soon be discussing w/ somebody still in about that.

i want to make sure i am not missing anything good.

so any scriptures, articles whether wt articles or secular about effects of shunning, etc, or your arguments against how wt interprets their scriptures, etc.

If you are talking about the disfellowshipping policy ,here is an interesting tidbit from the Bible. The only record of a so-called disfellowshipping is found in 1st Corinthians and it involves a man that committed fornication with his step mother. The only record of a so-called reinstatement is found in 2nd Corinthians and it involves the same man spoken of in 1st Corinthians. Both books were written in 55 C.E. and so the man was disfellowshipped for less than a year, possibly only a few months for the sin of fornication or adultery depending on your viewpoint. You will find very few examples in the modern day Jehovah's Witness religion of anyone disfellowshipped for sexual sins being reinstated in such a short period of time. If anything, Jehovah's Witnesses policy of disfellowshipping is unscriptual in its harshness.

Silent And Sweet Rebellion Going On Within JW Organization!

by lsw1961 in

after 1975, the vast majority remained as though nothing has happened.

but some left the organization.

however, there arose a third category who did not leave the organization, but brought a new view into their heart: jws are right in their core cause (gods kingdom as the solution to mankinds problems) but may or may not be right in their supplementary teachings, hence are not bothered about changes happening in this unimportant area..

"I have never heard anyone uttering the word bullshit or shit among JWs."- lsw1961

You must lead a very sheltered life. I knew a long time Elder that frequently referred to his sons as Shit-birds and I heard the word shit at Bethel more times that I could count! And I have it on good authority that Nathan Knorr had a VERY salty tongue behind closed doors. If you would like to contact me apart from this forum I will adjust my tinfoil hat to your frequency if you let me know just what that frequency is.

You had better turn up you thought vibrations device to its highest level. Apparently no one here is on the receiving end of your hocus-pocus bullshit.

Since all the worthy ones in "all nations" are going to be saved, there is no need to leave the JW org.

lsw1961, if you really believe that, than this statement would be closer to the truth:

Since all worthy ones in "all nations" are going to be saved, there is no need FOR the JW org.
