  reason for leaving

  by winnie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we did not swallow the new light theory at all but it did get me thinking.

  lets presume jws are right and they claim to be inspired by god what does that say about god?is it just a game for him they must be having a ball in heaven changing the rules halfway through a game even if jws were right i would not want to be part of a god that does that.i was raised a jw and to be honest i enjoyed it for me it was a great way of life but there comes a time when in good faith you can not justify to yourself that it is the truth never held any hatred for jws until i left and then i saw them in a different light they by they i mean my family have put all there energy into applying there love towards me by shunning me my wife and there 5 grandchildren as ive said if god is dirrecting them then i dont want anything to do with there god.

  this new light will have little or no effect on jws all thats left is rank and file who if by now havnt left never will and new converts who have no idea what used to preach.

  Encounter with JW neighbours # 2

  by winnie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as i posted in a previous thread, we moved about 5 weeks ago into a house next door to a local elders family (who also happen to be related to us through marriage).. the elders wife (i'll call her mrs m), decided to weed her garden when we went out this morning.

  but we were only gone for 20 minutes.

  to weed a part of her garden, she has to come into our front yard to reach it, which she was doing when we came home.

  ...and now live (joy of joys!

  ) next door to local elder, who just happens to be my husbands sisters father-in-law!

  (and was one of the 3 on commitee for our voluntary dissassociation).. this will now make life interesting.. already they refuse to come out the front yard, and if we 'happen' to go out front when they are there, they run inside!

  Speculation.....

  by winnie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with the settlement of the 17 child abuse cases, now that there is approx another 7000 pending lawsuits (or so i have read), if the wt settles (or loses) these cases if they ever reach the court rooms, what do you think the outcome would be??.

  i think that (i'm praying it happens) this will ruin them financially and be the end of jw's..
