    Compendium of Heresies: help needed

    by DeusMauzzim in
    1. watchtower
    2. bible

    would anyone be interested helping me in fast-compiling a 'compendium of heresies' regarding the history of the watchtower/jehovahs witnesses?

    what i mean is a chronological list of spin-offs, splinter groups etc, including all known bible student movements, as well as newer splinter/reform groups such as the lord's witnesses and e-watchman.. this should become interesting: i name 'the servants of yah' (1925) as an example: a sort of gnostic splinter group in brooklyn identifying jehovah with satan and denying the flood and water baptism, among others... did you ever know that?.

    in case of single groups, just post the name of the group, year of the schism and if applicable/known, the year of the end of the group, together with a (web) reference and/or a short summary.. in case of group lists, post a very short description of the list together with a (web) reference.. let's create the compendium together.

    i have seen incredible numbers of poems on this board since i came here.. the renga challenge, started by littletoe is an outstanding one at present.. there is a topic for humor, and for adult.. i think poetry is so obviously important to many on this board it should have its own topic section.. hb.

    I would like to see a seperate poetry section as well.

    I have a collection of ex-JW poetry on my hard disk.. maybe we could create a sort of anthology together.

    A few years ago, I visited Bethel, and they were just planning to have a new painting on the wall. Of course, it had to be 'approved' of first... Plato's Totalitarian State Art Censure :)

    We can do better than that!

    I've read some of your posts elsewhere to understand your situation better.. I'm so sorry for you that you are just trapped inside.. I know by experience you sometimes totally break up because of this madness.. The wt meeting 2 weeks ago was about the new year's text and the good news that Jehovah is going to slaughter most of humanity pretty soon.. I almost cried seeing everyone I respected (including my mom) plainly state people have had more than enough time to decide.. and then the wt stating people just don't want to serve God. How can these nice people have such utterly brutal and unloving thoughts?

    Is there really no way you just can be honest with your dad and you grandfather and save the relationship? It sounds your strategy is kind of a time-bomb.. I know you don't want to break their hearts but please please think about your own mental health as well. You can only bend so much before you break... Do you think you will be kicked out of the house if you were totally honest with them?
