HOW to PROVE the ORGANIZATION misled, lied, erred about 1975

by Terry in

the march 15, 1980 watchtower article "choosing the best way of life" contains, on pages 17-18, a partial text of the talk.

in modern times such eagerness, commendable in itself, has led to attempts at setting dates for the desired liberation from the suffering and troubles that are the lot of persons throughout the earth.

with the appearance of the book life everlasting-in freedom of the sons of god, and its comments as to how appropriate it would be for the millennial reign of christ to parallel the seventh millennium of man's existence, considerable expectation was aroused regarding the year 1975. there were statements made then, and thereafter, stressing that this was only a possibility.

This resembles what my local politicians tell us when we pose questions, no direct answers.

So, why do you really hate the Roman Catholic Church?

by StAnn in

this is actually a serious question.. when i was a jw, i was taught all kinds of things about how horrible the rcc is.

i believed it.

many years after leaving the wts, i began looking into the rcc for myself and discovered that everything i had been told about the rcc by the wts was a lie.

My brothers and I went to the Holy Trinity Church in the South end of Boston. What I hate is evil. When you do a study about the RCC you would find that it's no longer what it use to be. The Jesuits control the RCC. Study the history of the Jesuits, very interesting.

Did Being A Witness Make You Feel Better About Yourself?

by minimus in

some persons need to feel they are validated because they don't have much going for them otherwise.

being a part of jehovah's organization makes them feel special.

being different from other religions makes them feel recognized,.

In the years of being a witness, I never really considered myself, it wasn't until I completed my book, the ABC's of Golf did I fully realize that I never paid attention to myself. In my book, I help the reader to learn to be themselves, and not be copy cats.

When the elders gave me the ax based on their personal opinion did I see the light and so did my wife. I had such a feeling of relief when they executed me because I spoke the truth. This experience was a blessing in disguise for me. In the long run, being a witness did not make me feel good. Each of us need to learn not to be so hard on ourselves.
