  WT addresses the "rapture" teaching.

  by wifibandit in

  2. bible

  look at paragraph 15 of the 2015 july 15th study edition pg 18-19.. http://imgur.com/3wparys.

  .

  basically they admit to teaching the rapture (for the anointed remnant), just don't call it that!.

  They started the verbiage in the late '90's. I asked a few elders...this is the rapture...or everybody is going to be on a bus...or the plane will go down.... No answer.

  A private matter that should be worked out between husband and wife is now public. Sad for this family.

  Heavy sigh.

  Very well done.

  I think any additional insight we can give to anybody about this religion is important.

  They make an "appearance" they care for people...children, couples, elderly, the sick...and now the faded.

  It's easy to print an article/brochure or make a cartoon telling their readers how much they love and care for others but the truth lies in the actions.

  The whole world is seeing how little the WTBS cares and fining them handsomely for it.

  I was invited the first time in YEARS!!! Big cheese from Bethel giving the talk, David Ianelli, Writing Committee...at least he used to be. He really is a good speaker...probably one of the best around.

  But no not going evah! Last one was in 2004, and only went for my mom. It's the worst meeting of the year. I met with some exJW's this last weekend and they said they went last year just to observe if anything had changed. They said people were distracted, using their Ipads etc. He felt the majority was not interested in the discourse at all.

  Well done jw.org!!

  15 Years of Jehovahs-Witness.com

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  yes, today is the forum's 15th birthday!.

  i never thought for one moment that it would survive this long or have so many people post so many great subjects over the years.. it is still humbling when i get pm's or emails from people expressing how the site has helped them and of course thanks goes to all the posters who have shared their experiences and make helpful and supportive comments to others who are in the sometimes difficult process of learning the real truth about 'the truth'.. the site has gone through several different incarnations over the last 15 years running on different platforms, different databases and different hosts but we've been able to keep all the old topics.

  the current site is still being developed and i'm hoping to push another major upgrade soon.. i also may have some other news to share soon about the future of the site so stay posted.. until then, here's the the next 15 years!

  Thank you Simon and Ang for providing this "home." It means a lot. I was scared and obsessed with the conversations going on 10-13 years ago...amazed there was a place to have such discussions. I also have met some of my best friends from this site, from all over the world.

  And as the legacy continues, yesterday I had the pleasure to introduce a newly exited JW to some of my friends I met here. It was their very first meeting with exJW's, and df'd at that. A HUGE step. They were amazed how easy it was to talk for hours with people they never met before. The bringing people together is a great legacy for JWD/JWN.

  Happy Happy Birthday JWN!!! And many mooooorrrreeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Well done Nightline and Candace.

  Kendrick's wife said "he paid for that crime." That would be the 7 month prison sentence for the crime of molesting her own granddaughter. "Thanks grandma." The interviewer looked at the camera when she said that...it was like "I can't believe she just said that!"

  I hope this goes viral. AGain well done.

  by Oubliette in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i recently ran into a jw i knew from a few years back.you know how it goes, a few pleasantries that always seem much more awkward than they really should (not for me, mind you--for him).and then the question, "so what congregation are you attending?

  are you able to make the meetings?

  "i'm thinking: do you always start conversations this way?so anyways, knowing full well the jw-mindset, i decided to have a bit of fun.furrowing my brow, i said, "that's an odd question!
