Whoa.....

The "tree" with the birds in it is the WT?????

a lot of people are in a little fuss about the generation change, which as far as im concerned, doesn't change anything, it could be step one of a bigger adjustment down the track, but on its own, its been done.
but at the annual meeting of the wtbs, there wasn't 1 but 5 changes of thought, the light has literally exploded.
one that has caught my attention is the the change on the dragnet of matthew 13. if you have wt 92 6/15 read it!
Whoa.....

the generation seeing the sign .
' previously, this journal has explained that in the first century, "this generation" mentioned at matthew 24:34 meant "the contemporaneous generation of unbelieving jews.
not the whole magazine, but this is the new light article.. .
I read the article and it is sense-less.....they contradict themselves in bringing up the apostals....The apostolic age was less than seventy years....only a twit...like I was for forty years....would buy into this convoluted muck....

there's so much 'new light' coming out recently but i wonder if any of it really hits home to the average dub.
i think a good deal of those who leave do so because of a lack of real, honest love.
they get sick of the judgemental attitude and the continual grind.
ALL the research I did that led to my confrontation with the Elders was accomplished with the Society's publications; I did NOT go onto any boards or other "apostate" material. The WT's own material, if viewed as a JW would study and evaluate other material is damning enough.
I can NOT understand how someone could read C of C or other "apsotate" material (like "The Gentile Times Reconsidered") or post on boards like this and stay "in." If I had of known the full depth of the material available and read it, as many do here, I would have been forced to tell the GB to stuff it.
I know many stay in for a variety of reasons. The WT taught me one thing very well: The Truth is worth dying for .....loyalty to Truth is loyalty to God.
The trouble is: The teacher demanded the student to break this primary rule as a pledge of loyalty....yeah, like that would fly....
We all have to make our own way in Journey....I wish those well that can know reality and live in harmony with the insane: I could not do it.....
With you in this Journey,

mrs. flipper here.
what is up with all these hostilities lately?
did the watchtower sneak subliminal art onto this site to "divide and conquer" us?.
Mr. Flip,
Thanks for the feedback....you know I usually post on getting home when Mrs. Williams and Levi are asleep....hey...it is this or porn and there is NO comparison...THIS is so much more interesting. :-)
I was just sorta freaked as everyone you mentioned is so cool...
Wishing you and the Mrs a good night's rest...that is where I am headed after a bath to wash this hatchery muck off.
Take care,
In this with you,
V

Mr Flip,
I was not aware these posters were not posting....I enjoy all the ones mentioned......JK666...no more??? Snakes and the rest...no way...
If there are "issues" I say bury the hatchet.....whatever is going on.....we need these guys....
My take,
In this Struggle with all,
V
as much as i hate to make a new topic for a low-life like you - you need to read this.. there are people in this world who are born to hate and to suck the life from others.. those people are the blood-sucking parasites that thrive on hurting, and abusing others.. those people are rapists, pedophiles and sadistic sociopaths without any moral fiber or conscience.. you are among that classification of sub-human vermin devoid of empathy love or compassion.. you can quit telling eryn to die already.
you can quit telling her that she can shoot herself in the head just because you are a friendless person without anyone to love them.. you are pathetic.
people like you disgust me.
E,
Hey, kiddo....if it ever goes off the curb into the street....I hope we are on the same team....
Best wishes in your endevors for your friend...trip and all...I do not know the details, however, will keep you both in prayer and hope.... I am happy she is blessed with a friend like you....
In this Journey,
V
over the past month i have been helping out at a church on a discipleship series on jw.
the point was to have someone there to teach the members jw doctrine with the end goal of them being able to witness to them.
4. after reading the scripture i would then ask, "if jesus said all authority has been given then does that not mean that he had power when he spoke this?
You have spent a lot of time and effort in your work and I do not want to be discouraging.....
As a JW in a discussion with some one....I would take back the conversation in two minutes and the person trying to talk to me would not have a chance...this happened too many times.....
There is no way an experienced JW will fall in line with the format you are using....an in-experienced on or a kid....but a publisher with several years of field service....no way....
My take,
V
a couple of days ago i asked for advice because the elders have got on my case and wanted to come and see me.
my jw son and his wife are the only ones who know my feelings on the borg.
i also told them some home-truths about the wt, so i wasn't sure if they had turned me in or not.
With you,
V
i picked one out that kinda sucks.. i should be "livingdeadgirl" that would fit.
it's also a really great rob zombie song..
Your name is cool....avatar,too...
My take,
V
i've been around for awhile, but never registered for fear of giving my personal information (yes, that's how much the borg scares me.
i was raised in the org, and left when i was 18. i realized that every religion firmly believed that they were correct, and that forced me to re-evaluate the religion on its merits, as opposed to my insistent belief.
needless to say, i saw the man behind the curtain.
D,
No advice...too late to think...just wanted to welcome you and wish you the best...
Keep posting!
