  I hope you put this behind you by now. I don't care if some elders believe me or not. I know you want the girl and people involved to believe you, but even the polygraph might not change that.

  I have to imagine it's someone who was sure you would get the blame who wrote the letter. That would make more sense than many other possibilities. Could be the Navy guy or someone who has you on their hate list. Or it could be another lady, jealous and would've like to marry an elder, who can't believe she gets to live such a past and still be married to an elder, happily ever after.

  you can all call me jess, i guess you can say i'm a "refugee" from jwr.

  i'm going to try and keep this short for now, i'm in my early 20s, i was born in but never baptized, i've been mentally out for 7 years and fully out for about 5ish.

  despite never having been baptized my fading took quite a bit of time and work.

  A Forensic Investigation disproving Watchtower’s self-made MYTH

  by TerryWalstrom in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a forensic investigation disproving watchtower’s self-made myth(chosen by jehovah as the only true religion on earth).

  [ it all began when joseph rutherford removed four members of the watch tower society board of directors under a legal technicality that equally applied to himself, and then authorized the writing and publication of the book "the finished mystery" contrary to pastor russell's will, the society's official charter, and without approval of the board, and then falsely advertising the book to the public as the "posthumous work of pastor russell".

  JW Witnessing Trolleys. To approach or ignore what is your preference and why?

  by KateWild in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i saw two brothers this morning next to the main train station in liverpool city centre this morning.

  they were not actively approaching anyone.

  what i found strange was that they were from a cong that has different territory, so i don't know why they were there.. anyway i knew them both, and they know i was df'd, i was in my car and couldn't park up for a chat, but i did beep and wave to them as i drove passed and they waved back.

  I remember not commenting on this thread because I went back and forth about what I would do.

  But time has shown me what I have done.

  I have seen the carts more than a few times now and I have never approached. JW's not knowing who lives there have rung my bell and I would say "No thanks" and close the door.

  I just can't get myself riled up for a stranger who will probably use my logic as a confirmation of "Satan's" skills.

  When I wrote my book, I ended with this paragraph that sums it up:
  

  If I had to choose the ending of a movie based on this book, I think I would have a pair of Jehovah's Witnesses approach me on the street offering me their WATCH TOWER magazine. They would go through their presentation and I would simply walk away and say, "No thanks, I am much happier now without it."

  Is it Time to Declare that The Great Tribulation Has Started ?

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i don't really engage in doctrinal discussions about jw's anymore.

  they seem to say some pretty crazy stuff.

  but i have read some threads discussing doctrinal changes and how watchtower is really out of ideas and money at the same time.

  redpilltwice, that's a good question you ask of James Jack. Why not ask?

  Vidiot, I am saying that the doctrine will claim that Babylon the Great HAS BEEN attacked. They can make up some stuff that will fit. Anti-Muslim stuff, the pedophile issues of the Catholic Church. Obscure facts from the news can be used to make up an idea that things are worse than they are against "Babylon."

  TheListener, that's a good point, but maybe as time goes on and they hope to make this seem more real, Dubs just don't figure they will be openly meeting at Kingdom Halls while "churches" are under attack.

  RubaDub, soon, very soon, EH? So I still have time to have children, send them through an education and help them raise their own children.

  atomant, it will be an overlapping great tribulation.

  pepperheart, I hear the stuff is good for lining the shoes of homeless people too.

  a ton of watchtower literature the had in the boot for the isolated hall was destroyed.

  WAIT WAIT WAIT!!!!!! Maybe they remembered all those convention stories from the branch representative and all those yearbook stories. They thought since they had all that literature for the Hall, of course Jehovah would miraculously make their car just float right on through as if it was on solid ground.

  You can't really blame them.

  I remember some pioneer in some backwater location was going to have to come off the list to get food for his family when some big wild animal (big but easy to kill) just ran into his hut and he had plenty of food for that month. I remember some truck with "just the right size" trusses broke down near a construction site for a kingdom hall, so they sold the trusses to them for virtually nothing. I remember.......
