  i just finished reading "my christian quest, from jehovah's witness to son of god", by ron frye.

  this is easily one of the best new books i've read in a while.

  ron was a pioneer, a special pioneer, and a circuit servant.

  dear newbies and others somehow unaquainted with our resident grandma,.

  "...the watchtower is determined to doggedly hang on to the lie that the time of the end commenced in 1914. there is no other explanation for the watchtower's persistent and seeming incurable interpretive schizophrenia.

  The Birth of Christ

  by JamesThomas in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  posting this under friends, as it is not about beliefs and religions.

  the birth of christ.

  there is that which is not a separate deity too small and limited to be present, but rather that which is presence itself.. there is that which is not a distant savior whose love is conditional and restricted to faith, but rather is the very presence of unconditional love itself.. there is that which is not a creatural spirit who offers peace for acts of faith, but rather that which is peace itself.. there is that which is not a god gleamed from a book believed by some to be alive and true, but rather than which is all-embracing life and truth itself.. there is that which is not a spiritual-being who some day may arrive, but rather that which is the living present-moment of beingness itself.. there is that which is not a separate lord who is holy and pristine, but rather that which is purity itself.

  A very encouraging post, thanks JamesThomas.

  Its very liberating to know that we all have that accessible within ourselves

  Why can't I just SHUT UP?

  each jw mtg my husb has to attend is a burden for me cuz he always says i start an argument.

  i know its the demand that the wts has on its followers that they cant seem to deal with.

  he'll ask me a question and i will give him my undoctrinated answer and he goes off, then announces i'm starting an argument b4 he leaves for a mtg.

  there is apparently rampant apostacy in my ex kh

  by unbeliever in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my friend called and told me there were 3 announcements last night at the kh saying x, x, & x are no longer jw's.

  they all da'd themselves.

  all 3 sent letters out to a select group of friends and family before they gave their letters to the elders.

  I was just thinking - what if all us faders decided to disassociate ourselves on the same day what an impact that would be.

  Is it this simple?

  by OnTheWayOut in

  2. friends

  this is something i think i can say to the two elders that might eventually meet with me.

  because i am not going out in service and miss many meetings, and because they were.

  instructed to "snatch me out of the fire" by the wts headquarters when i resigned as an .

  Onthewayout, I have privately asked something similar and have been told

  order and unity is paramount

  because god is a god of order and not of disorder

  so all jws must believe the same thing at any given time

  therefore it does not matter if its right or wrong or if its going to change

  so long as everyone believes it at the same time

  be prepared for that one.

  (its a quick step dance imho)
