I`m going for 20899 as more and more JW`s are sick of waiting for the big A in their lifetime and think oh well I might as well go for the heavenly hope.

Didnt Jw`s previously condemn the RC church for having a priest a catholic had to confess to ? as not being christian ?
And now they are virtually adopting the same practice ? confessing your sins to Elders ?

The reason my husband did not take the brother to court was NOT because of "dirtying Jeh's name"... It was a scriptural reason: "do not take your brother to court".
However if any "brother" touches the WT/JW`s eyeball (really their pocket $$$$$ ) they will have you in court faster than you can say what ?
I have witnessed it in a congregation and I`m sure their are plenty of others who have seen this double standard applied .
When "you" are taken advantage of in any way by your fellow JW you are encouraged to just leave it in Jehovahs hands he will right it in his own due time.
When the GB is taken advantage of in any way "you" will be hauled before the courts in no time .
The GB/JW are very selective in how they apply the scriptures.
I`m sorry your husband never took advantage of the DA`s offer to prosecute.it may have prevented more people from becoming victims.
Its just a thought ,
We will never know.

by whatisthis12 inmy boyfriend is an ex new jehovah witness and today i got a message from one of his friends asking if i could delete a comment he wrote on one of my pictures because my boyfriends mom is harassing him about it.

Your boyfriend needs to stand up to his mom and tell her to back off and if he`s not up to that drop him and this religious cult and find youself a new bf before you get in too deep because their is only pain and heartache their.

Spirit directed vs inspired
by Jules Saturn ini've always been confused as to what the discrepancy is between the phrases "spirit directed/spirit led" and "inspired".
in the february 2017 watchtower study article, paragraph 12 says:.
12 the governing body is neither inspired nor infallible.

Jules Saturn
The Governing Body members are masters of speaking out of both sides of their mouth with the sole purpose of confusing the rank and file into submitting to their leadership.
They purposely obfuscate their writings to their members so they can flip-flop between answers they give, any who have an inquiring mind and if any continue to question the GB they will be DF.
It`s a wake up call for you JS and any other lurkers reading this thread.
We have all been conned by their deceitful practices.

over the past few days i can honestly say the convention was relatively quite good.
most of the talks, videos, symposiums were in line with scripture if you have faith in the bible.

How did this OP go from the numbers of partakers at the 2016 memorial
to the overlapping generation change policy
to a homo-sexual gender equality issue
and end up with a WW111 ,Armageddon scenario ?
Am I missing something here ?

Are You Objective About Who You Were As a JW?
by Wasanelder Once intoday there was a jesus preaching head case with a bullhorn blaring "save yourself from the fires of hell!

I was vulnerable at the time of my conversion convinced my then GF to join me who later became my wife and convinced her sister who had kids also to join us.
Only one niece is still entrenched in the cult.
But when I was in I would have died for what I believed the "truth" was back then and my wife and kids ?
That realisation scares the hell out of me now. How could I get to that point. I thought I was a sensible reasonably educated person who didnt fall for scams.

What is it with this organization, Jehovahs only true religious organization in the world today that they have to keep modifying previous letters of instruction that they distributed only 6 months or a year ago ?
Petty things at that
Jesus Christ is head of the congregations and the Governing Body isnt he ? and he cant get his act together after 103 years in the job ?
This letter of Aug 1st 2017 replaces the Nov.1st 2016 letter and this new letter is 11 pages long.? WTF ?
Within 9 months they have to revise their previous letter with 11 pages ?
I think Jehovah should sack Jesus he is obviously incompentent .
Maybe satan the god of this system of things would do a better job ,at least he has 6000 years of experience and we are still here ,and quite frankly the world in general is a much better place than it was centuries ago.
