this was one of the things i thought about while i was beginning to think for myself.. who has the more intimate relationship, the coworker of a man who calls him by his first name, or his child who calls him dad, or papa?.
all the emphasis jws put on jehovah blinds them to this simple truth.
what if one of us walked up to our father and said, hey bill!
While i was in for 32 years and read the bible always wondered why Jesus and the apostles never used God's name.
As Jesus was being crucified he called not on Jehovah but on " Papa " or Father.
The watchtower introduced Jehovah in the NWT approx 235 times which goes contrary to what bible itself says not to add or subtract.
so i was talking to a substitute co, he and his wife recently returned from "the school for christian couples" .
anyways this couple has delayed having children in hopes of entering the circuit work, and have been sub coing for a couple years.
they both have well paying, good jobs.
All the brainwashed JW's follow blindly the GB and sacrifice their whole life and the GB enjoys the luxury of living like kings and served as
kings at Bethel.
Nice setup they got going for themselves!
i'm thinking this site will be shuting down due to gb policy so grab them while you can.. http://www.centralprint.net/jwtalks/covisits/docovisits.html.

Don't have the stomach to listen again to the crap of the watchtower, not even for 30 seconds.
it's some kind of funny... i was the perfect little ass, even that i never believe it all.. there was something that doesn't sound right... but, i was little, i was with my family, i never believe that my family will make me adopt a cult.
well i get batized in my mid teen years, i was the exemplar, ms at 19, even serve my time at bethel.
get married to a pioneer, start a spiritual family, get my 2 kids.
Oh yes God killing billions of people because they don't know a thing about jesus or the watchtower...what a loving God!!!
i have a theory as to why elders' wives gossip so much.
i believe a big part of it has to do with the conversation running dry (between themselves and their elder husbands) after so many years of marriage.
since they don't get to spend too much "quality time" together (because of the elder husband's hamster wheel schedule), when they do have some intimate time alone, the elder's wives will invaribly attempt to engage their husbands in any kind of interchange.
If it's confidential "elders stuff" you can turn them in.
We had one elder removed because he was telling everything to his wife and of course it would get to the other sisters right after.
i've seen a few postings of a possible "next date" for dubs of 2034. based on an article they published comparing the last days to the days of noah.
preaching for 120 years.
however, i noticed a little tidbit from wiki about age:.
Nothing is letdown to a brainwashed witness.
Whatever the GB says, they accept it as "new light".
I believe most witnesses don't even know or realize or give any thoughts on what's going on with all the changes of doctrines.
Most will die as witness as we have seen since 1870.
hello everybody, even though i don't post a lot, i visit and read the threads on this site quite frequently.. wanted to give you a little update and ask for some advice at the same time.
since my exit, about 2 years ago, everything had been almost perfect.
i was living on my own, making new friends, elders from my old hall weren't bothering me at all, i was enjoying life.
As mentioned i would concentrate on your parents by wisely instilling some doubts about the watchtower, false prophecy, new light and so on.
Your brother is too young to understand what goes on in the watchtower.
Good luck!
someone once quoted gandhi to me, but i don't actually think it was gandhi, saying that man can only be happy when what he says, what he believes and what he does are all in harmony.. how many of us led lives that meant all three of those were at loggerheads whilst jws?.
i came out as gay when still a witness, to my family first and then my friends.
they were all accepting of me, to varying degrees, but accepting.. i even asked the elders for help.
If you have found happiness with your partner and you have moved "countries" to be with him, i would not worry about your family.
There is no best way to handle your situation, once you let them know that you are living with someone, it's going to be up to them how they want to treat you. They already know you are gay and continue to talk to you so it could be since you are far away
they will treat you the same.
It's good to let them know your situation and not hide what's going on in your life. Just be happy.
You have already "faded" from your previous congregation, most likely the elders were happy that you moved so i would not worry about being DF.
They will not come after you after so many years.
by 'actively vocal', i do not mean openly criticising the articles and pointing out the inconsistencies or flipflops (not footwear, reversals).
i do mean letting people know that you're finding it hard to understand the new truth, and the fact that there is therefore old truth, or falsities, (is that a word?
it is now), therefore if there are falsehoods (that's the word, of course), then that puts into doubt the extent of jah's involvement in the preparation/dissemination of it all... (and making it clear you're not saying they aren't gods prophets on earth, just that you're not sure, don't know).. the reason i ask is cos i'm finding it hard to completely fade without an external reason.
Just tell everyone that you need some time out to figure out Jehovah and how he dispenses "new light' and why?.
Why so many changes?
Sorry but i have to say that there is no easy way out when you're sorrounded my JW family and friend but it's not easy to stay in once you realize it's a bunch of lies.
Wish you the best
