Thx, Awakened,,I enjoyed the video and the noted past quotes from WT literature that the FDS in the past was explained as the GB and 'all' other anointed as well.
What perplexes me, I've talked with a few former JWs about this 'new light' about the new WT July 15 explaining now that the FDS is 'only' the GB now, no longer including the rest of so-called anointed partakers. They thought that it was 'always' just the GB. How did they ever get it that way?
"the rick simons case is truly exceptionaland for that, rick received the honor of the 2013 trial lawyer of the year award.
this case, involving the jehovahs witnesses, was originally referred to rick by my good friend and pretty much the first client of cogent legal ever, ed casey.
ed referred the case since rick had done a number of church molestation cases in the past, and there are issues with those cases that make them difficult.
"The Rick Simons case is truly exceptional—and for that, Rick received the honor of the 2013 Trial Lawyer of the Year award. This case, involving the Jehovah’s Witnesses, was originally referred to Rick by my good friend and pretty much the first client of Cogent Legal ever, Ed Casey. Ed referred the case since Rick had done a number of church molestation cases in the past, and there are issues with those cases that make them difficult. Number one among them is how to handle the huge anger that a jury will feel against the actual perpetrator of the crime, and how to focus that anger on the actions of an organization that was in the best position to stop such crimes. It may sound easy, but it’s not. Rick received the highest verdict ever, $28,000,001, for a single plaintiff, thanks to his hard work, empathy and ability to tell the story of his client and the defendant."

so i have some interesting news about the special assembly day.
normally at the assembly, my parents pay close attention and take turns taking notes.
then after the program, they enjoy socializing for some time.
Wow, may more JW parents start standing up for the kids!!

I think this is just about the first or main question, we have to ask ourselves 'honestly' before we can move on away of JWism. The Org always told us we were 'happy' because of Jehovah,,the WTS,,the Meetings, Field service,,new world,,blah,,blah,,blah,,finally something happens & we can honestly admit,,no, I m not happy &&& and after questioning ourselves and re-analyzing,,we finally realize it's not 'our fault' afterall either....
i'm about 4 months into my fade- things were going ok at first.
if i didn't get ready to go to the meeting or fs, neither did my family.
recently, hubby has become more sensitive and now will take the family whether i go or not.
The kids (sorry, don't know ages) will soon be jealous of you not having to go. If you can be mentally stimulating and fun with them, they will get drawn to the positive attitude and interest you show in life. If they come home repeating something said about you by a JW or husband, like you don't love Jehovah and will be destroyed at "A" (like what happened to me one time), I just smiled and said "No, God isn't going to do that to me because I love God and "you," forever with all my heart, so there!" And gave a tickle. Keep up your good-heartedness, love and joy of this life and they will follow. It would be 'very' rare for a child to be drawn to JW life if they truly have a choice.
our congregation is rationing regular bibles like they're gold bars.
i was told that bethel is out of stock!
anyone else hear about this?
People don't 'need' a Bible anyway. The WTS quote the parts of the Bible they want within their own books to prove their point/lie. Reading the Bible on their own without the WT would be a waste of people's time and money and in itself not enough to learn WT 'truth' anyway.
wow so here we are, april 25th.
3 years ago to this day something within me made me google my former religion.
it was all the the years of doubts concentrated into one all nighter to have the veil drop like a sack of shit.
dear gutted,, Just to let you know I "like" your comments and the process for us that we relate.
We will never 'feel' top of the most knowledgable of the world. the most righteous, the 'only' good or the 'only best' anymore. Nor do we 'want' that anymore, as it was only a 'lie,' a falsehood from the WTS.
Therefore, we grow better in peace and non-judgementalism, one day at a time.

I saw a site selling paperback Bibles for a few dollars each. I don't think the WTS wants to go through the bother, even if they could get a few dollars "donation?" I don't think even 'legally' they can "suggest" a donation amount, right? Printing Bibles is too much of a risk for them, money wise. Better for them to build assembly halls and kingdom halls to get their money increase.
have the faithful followers been informed of the new light yet?
i know its going to be in the july wt (i think) but i dont remember how far in advance those get released.
would someone who doesnt read this forum know about it yet?.
It's a new light of a lie in the first place.
last night my husband and i watched a special on the history channel about the knights templar.
about two weeks before i showed my husband the 607/587 blunder.
first off, he didn't even know that 607 was relevant to jw teachings.
If most JWs don't even know, that "607 BC" has been an important year to the WTS preaching it was the destruction of Jerusalem, the beginning of the so called 2,520 year prophecy pointing to their 1914, to be the beginning of the end of this system, then, no wonder, when the WTs changes anything, they don't get it, because they never even believed it before. Amazing, what they don't even know about their own religion and teachings.
