  The Elders are closing in....my days are numbered LOL

  by diamondblue1974 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  yesterday i spoke to my mother who whilst she lives away is in touch with elders (and their wives) down my end of the country; yesterday she apparently spoke to an elder who rang her for my address and telephone number; she only gave my mobile/cell/phone number and said that he would have to get my address off me directly - wise move.. i think word has got round; firstly i have openly taunted elders that might lurk on this website; secondly (and known to my mother) i have started a relationship with an ex jw who lives locally, a fact they are probably now aware of.

  they also know my marriage has ended some time ago.. i think they are fishing...but for the first time in the years since my exit, i am faced with this prospect without any fear.. for the avoidance of any doubt, i do not recognise the pseudo judicial powers of the wtbts and will not submit to them for any reason whatsoever.

  as the net might get tighter my resolve will only intensify.. bring it on!.

  A NEW Flock book has been released, with notes by a Presiding Overseer

  by Elsewhere in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for several years there has been available a pay attention to yourselves and to the flock book in pdf and html format.

  this book has proven to be extremely valuable in exposing the morally questionable activities of the watchtower society.

  now we have a new version that is even more valuable because it contains the hand-written notes of a presiding overseer, some notes as recent as late 2005. these notes are frequently dictated to elders by a circuit overseer or district overseer in order to avoid liability (the wts can deny every giving such instructions).

  The facts on crucifixion, stauros, and the "torture stake"

  by Leolaia in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  finally, i will look at biblical and patristic evidence bearing on the crucifixion of jesus in particular.

  we need to examine the earliest known descriptions of the kind of crucifixion adopted by the romans and the specific terms they used to refer to it.

  apparently the society believes that crux still meant "stake" in the second century a.d., when tacitus composed his annals.

  587 BC for Total Dunderheads

  by Farkel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if you're a dunderhead on neo-babylonian history (like me) you've probably remained totally clueless whenever the subject of the chronology leading to back 607 b.c.

  since i had nothing better to do today, i decided to finally take the time it takes to understand why dub chronology on that date is wrong.

  this piece of information alone should give you a clue about how bored i am!.

  The ascension of King David to heaven

  by Leolaia in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  there is a rather obscure statement in acts 2:34 that specifies that "david himself never ascended to heaven".

  the obvious question that arises from this remark is -- who ever believed that david ascended to heaven?

  to answer this, we need to look where else but to the pseudepigrapha.

  If All Early Christians Were Preachers...... Who Worked & Cooked The Meals?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the watchtower says that all early christians were preachers.

  you couldn't be a christian if you weren't a preacher/teacher.

  how would you refute that?
