  attended co public talk today, "will you qualify for life in god's new world?.

  the essence in this quote: "it is essential that we cooperate with the fds, that we conform to bible standards and that we ourselves share in preaching the good news of the kingdom.

  " not once was faith in jesus christ mentioned.

  Define your spiritual side

  by JH in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  although i don't go to meetings anymore, i'm inactive, never was disfellowshipped, i still have a "spiritual side to me", something that is deeply rooted in.

  on one side, i see errors the watchtower makes, and on the other side i take what's good about them, and that's why i don't fit in with them.

  i don't meet their standards, nor do they meet mine.

  When JW parents shun their df'd children...and grandchildren

  by Paisley in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this seems the epitome of "lacking natural affection".

  can you imagine being a parent and not being interested in how your own children are doing?

  and what about carrying it even further, having nothing to do with your grandchildren, just because the parents are disfellowshipped?

  Evaluating Raymond Franz

  by greendawn in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  what do you think of ray(mond) franz?

  i have seen here some people critisise him as not being a really heartfelt opponent of the wts, but my view is that he was quite honest about his expressed motives against the cult.

  with his revelations he gave a lot of momentum to the ex jw movement (the apostate organisation according to the jws) and offered valuable assistance to those seeking to shake off the ideological and social dependance on the oppressive cult.
