  .

  old timers on the board may remember that i was the first to mention the november 06 blood insert in the km.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/121104/1.ashx.

  the same very, very reliable source has confirmed that the book study will be amalgamated with the tms and sm.. this same source recently had a long and private conversation with a gb member.

  This makes sense. The less number of nights each congregation utilizes, the more congregations they can squeeze in per Kingdom Hall.

  How to get a friend out of "the truth"

  by St-Jacques in

  i'm sure threads along these lines have come up dozens of times in the past, but i'm not exactly sure how one would go about searching for this topic.. i was approached about a week ago by a girl named eve, with whom i share a mutual friend.

  our friend is someone i knew when i was a witness, and is one of eve's close friends at school.

  now, over the course of high school, eve has been trying to get her friend to realize the truth about the sham that the watchtower calls a religion.

  I was in a similar position. Never been a witness but tried to get a friend out.

  The book Releasing The Bonds by Steven Hassan was a huge help and a good start.

  i am, my dad is doing it, i'm going to their hall theyve just moved there (to 'help' out).

  i figured its the one meeting i can't miss as i upset them by not going to any others at all, also ive made a point of not going to my hall and i won't let anyone know i'm at my dads.

  my dad is actually worried i might 'be apostate' about it, as i once said surely passing on the bread and wine is like saying 'no thanks jesus!

  When you get to the point of criticizing someones worship to God; that's a sin in itself

  I'm not a JW and never was one. I attended one meeting at a Kingdom hall were they spent 3/4 of the meeting criticizing other people's worship of God. By your own comment, the Watchtower sinned.

  ok everyone, who has to go to the memorial tonight?

  check in here, state the reason you have to go, and when you get back, let us know how it went and your impressions.

  for me, i have to go for my family--since i'm doing the fade i figure it won't kill me to go.

  This election has taken many twists and turns so far. So my answer would be yes, she does have a chance.

  I have found on more than one occasion that Born Agains can be unconsciously insulting.

  I'm registered as an Independent in Pennsylvania. We have closed elections and therefore I cannot vote in the primaries. I will be voting in the General elections.
