  yesterday i was with a group of brothers that wanted my advice on re-roofing a home.

  three of them were ministerial servants.

  all of them are from the spanish congregation.

  I once texted a Mexican friend of mine that I was going over to the Bible Students and that I was planning on DA'ing. I then got a volley of texts back on FDS and light getting brighter plus Math 24:14 on preaching. The poor guy thinks he has it all figured out. This coming from someone with a college degree vs myself the tradesman. His whole family works for him, TTATT would be devastating to him. I no longer keep in touch and hope he spread the rumor as to my being 'apostate' Oh and many come from Catholic backgrounds rank with superstition.

  On edit : Rays works are available online in many languages now.

  They go the the bathroom like us, maybe more so by the looks of them.

  Well fed bunch. Reminds me of an ongoing joke on a local Montreal radio station back in the eighties, they had a thing going where one would ask the other : Salut mon Bill, fait tu de l'argent sur le dos des autres ? ( insert French Canadian accent hehe ) Pretty funny !

  ( Hey Bill, are you making making money off the backs of others ? )

  the feeling that you're never good enough.

  the feeling that you're wicked and evil.. .

  because i'd give anything not to feel this way.

  Totally went away, but I was in only for only a few years and grudgingly at best as I thought they had truth. The way a single man outsider such as myself is related to is not on the same level as a born in. Will always be second class, and besides just thinking about the blatant manipulation is enough to make my blood boil.

  Mind you I spent most of my online time this summer researching and deprogramming myself. Must me multiple times harder for a born in where JW thinking is entrenched.

  What is the most bizarre counsel you received as a JW, from a JW?

  by Funchback in

  there were many addressed to me.

  for example, i once had a sister tell me i was gambling because i liked playing skill crane (the machine where you have to try to pick up prizes like stuffed animals) at the arcade.

  i then fired back a her: "you saw the r-rated movie 'backdraft.

  Not on par with all your stories but I would sometimes go to the hall in my old lifted 4X4 Toyota pick-up on 33 in Mud Terrains that would stick out a few inches and looked pretty agro. Anyhow a brother said I should sell it. Another one told me it looked like a dune buggy.. hehe

  I have an account there. I started it when I began to feel myself slipping spiritually and just couldnt stomach the local devious elders. I thought maybe if I broadened my viewpoint it would help me.

  I started a membership here too.

  Guess which one helped me?

  The folks over there didnt ring true to me. I think they are all striving to "chin up" to the perceived tone.

  Basically they are all trying to out spiritual one another. Im sure some there know that and are unsatisfied but dont know what to do.

  
  

  LOL Millie yeah I was like that too at one point , peer pressure to conform and be accepted

  Jesus foretold corruption of scriptures (rather than apostasy of Christendom)

  by iconoclastic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jws apply the fulfillment of what jesus fold in mathew 13:24-30 in what they call the great apostasy of christendom.

  here jesus was speaking in parable, hence application should be made in its essence.

  jesus sowed the seed (which means he preached the truth), later when it was compiled, selfish writers sowed weeds (interpolated their own ideas), and it became one book where on cannot distinguish what is good seed and weed.

  Look up Arne Jordly's Koine Greek to English translations with commentaries. I don't agree with everything 100% but it's worthwhile reading and very educational. He typically compares NWT NIV KJ to his own as well as the original Koine Greek works used. I think he relied on Strong's works to a degree to put all this together, quite impressive !

  His publications are a good starting point for me to further my Bible knowledge. I have his complete collection on order from the printers in NJ and he is pleasant to deal with. Has spent 25 years on this project so far and is not a sect or anything, his intentions are simply to help people get a better grasp of scripture without any organizational slant or agenda.
