  We Don't Want to Know Why You're Leaving

  our exit from the watch tower society was fairly speedy.

  within about 3 months, we'd ceased attending meetings and lost all of our friends (apart from hobo ken and his wife).. what was shocking - and only confirmed that we were right to leave - was how our decision was met by our so-called friends.. we were leaving behind people whom we'd enjoyed friendship for over 20 years.

  we were leaving behind friends who were closer to us than our own families were.

  This is the type of love, the true face of the so called love practice in this organization!

  Is this what they call "Agape love"? As a teen I knew it was just a load of crap.

  Elders "BEND" the scriptures

  by Hangin_on in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  did you ever notice that elders tend to "bend" the scriptures when counciling you.... to fit their view of you or of the situation?.

  i wonder what goes on before hand.. if they are going to council someone over a certain matter... do they talk between themselves and decide from what angle they will approach the subject at hand?.

  they complain about false religion taking the bible and making it fit what they want to do in their lives, but i feel that they do the same when they feel a certain way about you or a matter they are counciling you for.. .

  The scriptures are too open for translation and the Elders never seem to be consistent with any one translation. This is the Watchtowers fault.

  For example: Look at KH's in the east and the west and compare them to KH's in the northern central states regarding gun ownership. You could almost cancel a meeting in the northern central states because everyone goes hunting.

  I was raised in the northern states where we were taught that black people (people of any color or race) were our brothers. From what I have heard from former witnesses living in the south, the witnesses do discriminate.

  A very technological world with all of it's communication's capabilities and it lacks severely in consistency. Why?

  no weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; .....this is the heritage of the servants of the lord, is.

  i know the economy is bad and many are suffering for various reasons.

  ""Gomes said, "Most Roman Catholics, for example,

  can't tell where the pope is right or wrong on any of his moral pronouncements, and

  neither can most Protestants. They may disagree with the pope, but they can't

  argue with him. They don't have the theological or biblical muscle to make the case.""

  Gomes should read his own statement a few times, like really, in between the lines.

  I was watching a documentary on the History Channel about figs. It stated that some of the crunchiness in a fig is due to a wasp that uses the fig to breed. Too expensive to remove so they are just ground up and made into finished products.

  This article says otherwise. I wonder who's right.
