i think this may well have been done to death before,but it still surprised me to find it so close to home.. i t has been pointed out that many jw's can't explain their doctrines,but i never thought that would apply to my sister.she is a super-culty dub,in for over sixty years,and during a somewhat heated conversation at the weekend she kept throwing things at me as "trooves" and i had to keep saying "you need to research that".

for example i told her that according to the wt jesus was only the mediator for the 144,000. she did not agree that was wt teaching,so i just said the above.. it amazes me that i will have to educate her,ex-pioneer and great door-knocker,as to what she is supposed to believe,before i show her the errors,if we ever get down to a proper discussion.

i don't really want to though,i think she and her husband need and deserve the borg.. are you surprised at the ignorance of thir own religion by witnessses,despite all those meetings and hours of study?.

They will be, they are trained to be. It seems strange to me that I used to just 'swallow' the spiritual food that was placed before me. Just accepted what was printed in the publications as from Jehovah himself. How could it be wrong?

When I get frustrated by how the JW's fight tooth and nail defending paper thin arguments, I just remind myself that I was just the same...

Memorial

by Amha·aret in

jw
friends

anyone know the date for the memorial this year?

i haven't got an invite yet!

boo-hoo .

AgentSmith

Find something to do in another city for that day, they will have to assume that you will go to the memorial there. Not giving information is not lying. The WTB&TS says so.

I just sent an email to the governing body

by Awakened at Gilead in

i sent a link to my new video and told them that they were featured in it.

i hope this induces mass hysteria at the tower office.. i guessed the addresses, and i haven't gotten any error messages.

so if you want to send a message to the gb or anyone else, the address should be:.

Have you had any replies or feedback from the society?

An Absolute Must See!

by AK - Jeff in

http://www.atheistnation.net/video/?video/02542/atheist/religulous-full-movie/ .

as most on this forum are aware, and as has happened to many of them perhaps, i have run through a common metamorphosis of jw, xjw, looking for christianity, doubts, where are we now, i don't know?.

a friend of mine, who has gone thru similar metamorphosis, sent me this link.

All very very interesting. Thank you Leolaia for the opposite point of view.

I 'stumbled' across the Zeitgeist stuff yesterday. For a moment it seems that it all makes sense, untill you test what these people have said. The Horus-Jesus thing would have been the ultimate silver bullet if it was all true. Which just goes to prove once again, investigate, find the truth of what is written.

Just because someone (regardless of his/her authority), says its true, does not mean that it is.....and for the lurkers, that applies to the WTB&TS too.

My sister called! I've written her a letter...

by Confession in

i was working in corpus christi this past weekend, when my sister called out of the blue on sunday.

she, like the rest of my family, is a very zealous jw, and since i am recognized as an apostate, i haven't seen nor spoken to her in about four years.

i was completely shocked that she called.
