Resigned being an elder

by subytrek in

friends

i am new here and this is my first post although i have lurked here for a couple years.

i started having doubts about the org back then and my curiosity overcame my fear of so-called apostate websites so here i am.

i just resigned being an elder 2 weeks ago.

Subytrek your path is very similar to mine. I hope that you may be totally free of this religion, along with your family.

The term: To disfellowship in spanish congregations...

by suavojr in

in the english congregations they used to announce that brother x has been disfellowshipped.

but in the spanish congregations the announcement was made using the word expulsado (spanish)= expel in english.

when i look up the word disfellowship, this is what i found:.

In Portugal the ad is simply (example):

"José Carlos Andrade is no longer a Jehovah's Witness."

This applies to disassociation and the dissociation. You never know which was the case.

Trailer for 2013 Candace Conti / Rick Simons interview, now on YouTube

by cedars in

hi guys.

i have uploaded the following trailer for a forthcoming series of interview videos.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8ebwpjm6wa.

the interview, which was filmed on 10th february 2013, was based on questions provided by posters from this forum, specifically from this thread.... .

Calling all posters! What are YOUR questions for Candace Conti, Rick Simons and Kelly Kraetsch?

by cedars in

i am pleased to announce that candace conti, and her key lawyers rick simons and kelly kraetsch are planning a youtube video to answer any questions that people in our community may have regarding the recent conti v watchtower lawsuit.

i have offered to coordinate the gathering of these questions, and i thought it might be fun to do it in a "competition" style jwn thread, with the best answers being chosen by kelly, rick and candace to be addressed in the video.. as you can imagine, there are some provisos to this.... this is an active lawsuit, so for obvious legal reasons kelly, rick and candace will have the absolute and final decision as to which questions are answered and how much information is divulged when they are answered.we need the answers in the next 7 days, so the "cut off" for this competition is exactly 7 days from the time this thread goes live on jwn.we kindly request that all questions are asked in a respectful manner without any malicious or offensive intent.

any inappropriate questions will obviously be discarded and ignored.

Misquotes, Lies and deception in Watchtower Publications

by jwfacts in

i have just finished an article misquotes, deception and lies and would like your comments, proof reading, and any other examples that you think are important to add.

most of these already appear on jwfacts.com within specific articles, but it is more powerful seeing them included together.

there have also been a number of requests over the years for such a collection.

TJ Curioso

Great article jwfacts.

Are Elders waking up to TTATT?

by Londo111 in

the obvious answer to that is: yes!

jwn has a number of former elders who awakened to ttatt while they held their position, and a handful of current elders who help provide needed intel.. .

later, i learned he and his wife had faded, and both of his grown sons know ttatt as well.. .

Questions by JWs in 1976

by Doug Mason in

in 1976, my friend bruce price was in contact with jehovahs witnesses who had become disillusioned through the debacle with 1975. bruce was the leading voice among the sda ministry in working for jws.

at the time, i was a member of the sda church.

although i left them about 25 years ago, to this day bruce and i enjoy a strong and genuinely warm friendship.. so, in 1976 bruce invited me to a meeting with one of the jws who was leading the disquiet in his congregation in dandenong (victoria, australia).
