i know that this question has been asked and answered but i can not find the thread.. now that i do not have any family trapped in the cult, i do not have any interest in the seach for goofy proof to a goofy religion.
i know that their own material is the best weapon against them.
who would want a 37 year collection of books and bound volumes?
my wife and I burned them in a camp fire one year in Myrtle Beach, SC
god d&mn i?m mad!
the ?secretary?
of the congregation just called.
good for you...that takes alot of guts....i know when i talk to my mom about stuff i start shaking and stuff too.....but the elders have never called us once in the 2 years since we left...our cards are still sitting in Willow Grove, PA while we are in Auburn, WA.
the pertinent information dealt with confirmation that a ngo by the name of the watchtower bible and tract society of new york , inc. (watchtower) held an ?associated ngo?
this may not seem as an important issue to the united nations.
1) a photocopy of the original 1991 letter from the watchtower to the dpi requesting an application form for ?associate ngo?
I understand your need to let people know what happened, but honestly, it barely made a dent when it was fresh and exciting news 2 1/2 years ago, so whats the point? Active JW's who believe in it don't listen to a word of this stuff anyway, you must realize that.
at this weeks book study (which i attended for the first time in 6 months) the book is "united in worship of the only true god".
in paragraph 10 it talks about the united nation's, and not in any glowing terms either.
the paragraph condemns her and anyone who would be a part of her.
This information is hardly new.....you don't have to make it sound worse than it is, it damages your credibility. they printed something weird...OH MY GOD. thanks for the newsflash.
it's been awhile since i've been on here.
due to death in the family, chicken pox in children and other nasty things.. i posted here awhile ago about things i had found the unsettled me.
i was due to have a visit from two elders and a lot of you gave me lots of help and encouragement.. well, the two elders visited and i have to admit that it was nothing like i expected.. they sat down, and told me straight away that there was nothing i could say or ask that would hurt me.
I remember being at the crossroads.....here's what I think
They try and get people into the religion, using people as one of the factors - "Look at the love of the friends..."..then when you have problems with the "loving" people they say "we are imperfect and all make mistakes"....an answer for everything...
For the record, I grew up in "the truth", was on the fast track to being an MS when I moved 3000 miles away to Seattle. Other than my parents, NOT ONE person has called to ask about us. They just tell nasty rumours and gossip about us. IT ISN'T THE TRUTH.
what i specifically mean, is, sometimes do you feel frustrated that you are bound to xjw things / topics / issues?
once an xjw, always an anti jw type thing?
since leaving the organization in 2002 i've done a pretty good job of moving on, making "worldy" friends, met up w/ some wonderful xjw's (princess and family), and really don't think too much about how much pain jw's have caused me.....but every now and then i find myself compelled to read this board for hours...look up new teachings that make no sense......so in a way i feel forever bound to the xjw world....which i'm not sure is a good thing or a bad thing.

Just who I am I guess....What are your opinions??
okay people, time to guess what new releases they're going to have at the 2004 district convention.
(btw, anyone know the "theme" of the convention for this year yet?).
i'll bet any money we'll get another shitty brochure.
They are releasing a new tract:
Why Jehovah's Witnesses and the people who bitterly oppose them are part of the same blind faith
ok...just noticing the worship the only true god book will end the week of march 8th...what is the next book to be studied?
i would appreciate your help in this matter!

I remember when we studied the Isaiah and Ezekial books, my wife and I would be looking at each other...truly bizarre books, it was as if everyone was on acid eating those silly explanations up....we would always have good conversations on the way home about silly it was.
i got hold of a memo from a jew who watched this movie :
sent: sunday, january 18, 2004 8:56 pm
subject: fw: paul harvey's comments on mel gibson's movie, "the passion of thechrist" .
Hi Princess....how have things been? hmmm...maybe i'll drop an email, its been too long...
Jim Carrey also has the same initials, as does Jarvis Cocker but I don't think they are 33. My initials are JWA which means absolutely nothing.
