Jesus tells kiddies not to play wih penis' or vulvas?
by lovelylil in
1. watchtower
2. child-abuse
on the thread about the pdf for the 2003 listening to the great teacher book, i posted about the arguement my hubby and i had over this book when it first came out.

i threw out the 2 copies my kids had and then regretted it because i think this book is very telling about the wt organization and the issue of pedophiles and child molestation.

i wanted to address what happened here too for discussion.. i am not good at copying over texts so perhaps someone else can post here pages 59-60 in this book where sexual content is explained in vivid detail using the terms penis and vulva.

i've been a jw all my life and am thoroughly convinced this is the truth.

but there is one thing that i just don't understand.

many jw's believe that people who get resurrected in the new system will not get married.

Do you condemn the Society's no-blood policy and still do not DONATE BLOOD?

2. medical
it's your decision to make.

it would be as wrong of this community to insist everyone donate blood as it is of the cult to insist otherwise.

Underground Lurker....Coming up for air.....
by Bourne in
1. jw
2. friends
i have been a lurker for the last year...finally got the courage to post.

i guess you could say that i have successfully completed a "fade", although that was not my initial intent.

due to my being in an "unscriptural" separation for a number of months, (that, combined with my paranoia, hence, the alias) i have been forced to go underground.

Do you think the society will abandon 1914?
by B_Deserter in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
it seems to me that they're slowly dismantling the date theology that ties the end times to this period in history.

first, they updated the generation teaching to mean a figurative generation, thus removing the possibility in the near future when all who were alive in 1914 are dead.

then, they abandoned 1935 so the annointed will never die off, and prove their belief that the annointed will see armageddon wrong.

2. experiences
just wanted to share something with you all.

about a month ago i call my very active jw father and ask him a few questions about an awake article (the famous one oct 8 1968) and about the "obedience and submission" article and to call me back and give me some information.. well he did not call back and friday my sister in law calls me and tells me that some jw are saying i am an apostate.

i ask were did they get that from ( because i have not talk to any jw about my findings, except my dad) and to my surprise she said my dad.
