symposium: beware of apostates!.
satanhuman apostates also of interest ..... the truth brings "not peace, but a sword" .
Good stuff here. So- if you want to F*** with their heads- dont display any of the "characteristics" of an apostate:
-dont be bitter
-dont claim to be a Witness
-be clear that you dont want to affect their faith.
My family cant figure me out- I dont match the standard list of any of the categories- stumbled, apostate, unrepentant sinner. Just dont wanna anymore.
i wanted to share with you all information that you may find helpful in your quest for real truth as it pertains to god and religion.
"jesus" is just the latest sun-god in mankind's long history of sun-gods.
a belief-system which in itself stems from mankinds first true religion, worship of the sun and stars.
When the people who made up the "jesus" stories put their ideas in writing- they borrowed heavily from other "god" stories that surrounded them. Christianity as a movement cant be looked at in isolation from the cultures it grew up in.

there is rumors that in this years dc nwt will be released and also new tracts.
any other rumors about new releases?.
I cant imagine who they got to act like a scholar and translate! Now that Ghengis, Franz, and Schroeder are all gone- there's not even anyone there that acts like an intellectual- much less knows ancient biblical languages...
since i've been off work this week because of spring break, i've really been missing my grandma.
when i have left wt (i'm fading and april will be 6 months) and i told her about january, she has been shunning me.
i told myself "i will respect her wishes/decision..etc" this morning i woke up and said "to hell with shunning!
I have decided to ignore my family's shunning and call them regularly to say hello. They of course do not answer- but I want to be clear that the decision not to communicate is theirs- not mine!
i'm a born in, baptized as a young teenager, whole family is jw.
i just recently woke up after the new understanding of the fds was announced and it seemed to me to smack of power-grabbing.
i started looking at all the websites we're not supposed to, and now i know why.
Start to develop a social circle outside of the organization. Have people over who are not witnesses- neighbors, work associates, relatives etc. You have to have a social safety net before you can feel comfortable leaving.
I agree with what everyone else has said- go slow. Read up on the paranoia, loaded language, and social pressure that keeps a person in the cult. Being an irregular meeting attender helps- it gives a person a few extra days to not be drilled with JW doctrine.
Good luck to you.
i'm sure alot of you have noticed, the influx of new jwn members with "postitions within the cong" this is amazing, i myself am still an m.s.
working to get removed.
lol my wife (who has been really supportive throughout my fade) asked my why i am doing i decided to fade?.
Former bethelite, former elder, former MS, former pioneer.
Now- enjoying the unbelievable lightness of freedom. I occassionally remember the heaviness of slavery- but try not to dwell on it. My wife and son came with. Still have parents and siblings in who are very conflicted over how to treat me though.
Welcome to those of you who made the leap- you will never regret it. Those who are still "fading" good luck to you- the sooner you make the break, the sooner the healing can start.
jesus set the pattern of humility.
on earth, jehovah god exalted his.
pattern of humility?
You can feel the second punch of the 1-2 coming. Jesus was humble....... therefore.....wait for it......
We should be humbly obedient to the appointed slave!!! Now lets pound that into our heads for the next 2 weeks.
things are looking good for me and my campaign.
so we will see..
Congratulations on your courage and your success. I hope to follow in your footsteps one day.
