Your story is an inspiration to thousands of faders everywhere. When push comes to shove you have to stand up for real truth. Its a bummer your fade did not go as you planned, but once you were discovered I think you did the only thing you could by hitting it head on.

Your comment "I can't believe I let this religion destroy my family" really hit home.

It is a horribly frustrating situation to have to go through.

You certainly have our support. If there is anything else you need please let me know. You can pm me.

My new goal re new Generation light

by 5thGeneration in

jw
friends

if the 'new light' on 'generation' discussed earlier is accurate then it certainly will move me to continue on in my ministry.. i was slacking off because i thought the preaching work was near complete without growth!

now i can be confident that in 10 or 20 years the society will simply announce that a new batch of brothers have started partaking, the generation will continue and it is a sign that jehovah has provided more time for people to come into the truth!.

another fine blessing!.

Hey 5th,

Didn't you know JOSEPHUS was an APOSTATE!

He can't be trusted!

hello my friends .

well, i just wanted to share our special day with you guys too , because you folks have become close like family to us !

for mrs. flipper and myself being in our late 40's, early 50's, with all the challenges we had over the years before we met, being with the wrong people who took advantage of our kindness when we were both in other relationships , we truly do feel it is a miracle that her and i finally found each other later in life and found real happiness in a marriage.

The Oracle

Happy Anniversary you two love birds!

Congratulations on a great marriage!

A question from my wife: OTWO, what do you think about women on the Pulpit?

by OnTheWayOut in

out of the blue, my wife asks: what do you think about women on the pulpit?.

otwo: why?

(silly little paranoid me.

The Oracle

hey yknot,

I do find it funny that Jehovah created the male brain with 1 set of receptors for the right and left side to communicate, but created women with 3 sets.

This explains why I am "never listening" and I "don't talk enough". LOL!

I must share this evidence with my wife!

This is simply the way I was DESIGNED! How can it possibly, be held against me?

Jan 27, 1937 Golden Age PDF: "That Delusion Called 'Love'"

by cabasilas in

what were jehovah's witnesses distributing door to door 70 years ago?

here's a pdf of the january 27, 1937 golden age magazine (the forerunner of awake!

).this one is real interesting.

The Oracle

good work cabasilas!

It just gets weirder and weirder doesn't it?

Someone else said they couldn't believe their grand parents bought in to this stuff. I wonder in amazement at this as well. I thought my great grand parents were kind of cool. I guess they were in some respects, but did they ever fall for some ridiculous bullshit.

I enjoyed Asteroids.

I would fly and fly and spin and shoot. I loved picking off the little saucers that came out.

Such simple fun. I miss those days.

Jesus came in 1914 and NOBODY noticed til when???

by oompa in

i know the end of mankind was supposed to happen in 1914 with the end of the gentile times.

true christians were supposed to all fly to heaven.

now i forget when fds figured out he came in 1914 instead of 1874. and when did we figure out btg was felled?

The Oracle

It really is startling that most of us here believed all this utter garbage at one point.

I must say I am feeling particularly embarassed for have not having had my FULL awakening much much earlier than this.

Thank GOD for the internet. New generations of potential JWs in the intelligent free world will be waking up WAY SOONER THAN I DID...and thankfully most intelligent adults will stop their studies as soon as they go for that fabulous "second opinion" on the web.

Yippee!

Help needed desperately !!!!!

by confused and lost in

hi,i have just registered here because i need someone to talk to in a way that wont end me up before a jc.i have been reading a lot of stuff recently about the wts being false prophets and the like.i also hate the fact that there are so called "spiritual" men out there who abuse their positions to molest children.i have been a witness now for 20yrs but instead of feeling spiritually alive i feel totally and utterly confused.i do not know which way to turn.anyone out there who feels the same ?

share your thoughts with me ..please and help me unburden myself to someone.

thanks for reading.

The Oracle

Hey Confused and Lost,

You are NOT ALONE! Not anywhere near alone.

There are tens of thousands of JWs in the exact same boat as you - right now.

Among the group here, are people who are still serving in responsible positions within the organization, working hard to protect innocent people and to stop much of the JW madness (child molestation and blood policy to name a couple) from the inside.

As someone currently serving in the position of "elder" I can offer you some current insights on to how to handle yourself in order to avoid disfellowshipping (if that is a concern), or just to help you sort through some of the feelings of confusion.

WELCOME TO JWD
