A desperate time for JW as realisation inevitable dawns .....

by Gill in

in time, slowly and inevitably, a lot of jws will realise that they have been conned.

they may deny it at first but eventually a substantial amount will discover that they have lost their lives, their talents and their potential to of all things, a book publishing company!.

so, what will their reactions be?

fresia

Wizard says...I can predict that, either the people are going to get pxxxed off and leave in droves (and more Danny Haszards are on the horizon), or they are going to be so dumbed down by being told exactly what to think.

I think both...we are being dumbed down, the literature and study articles are like for newly associated ones or for complete robots and babies. The biggest complaint is about the boring childish studies.

Afternoon Gill ...so true. There can't be any right-minded/thinking/intelligent adults left who actually BELIEVE this WT crap - I'm aware of longtime (adult) JWs who miss most meetings due to various mental problems...Old JWs, in my experience, just question their own ability to keep up with the Org's changes...and a little like Brooks in 'The Shawshank Redemption' who's institutionalised and can't survive without being organised by the the prison system (tops himself). I wonder how the average age of a dub has changed over the years?

this actually happened to a brother recently he hung himself, couldn't cope looking after himself.

Do Elders pay attention to who's missing the meetings and how often?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

elders are very busy before and after the meetings.

they have many parts during the ministry school.

they have elder meetings after the meetings are over.

fresia

Totally depends on the elder or the presiding overseer may make it a point for the elders to keep an eye out. I find that mostly it depends on the elder, we have one that just sits and looks at peoples reaction to the the talks, he looks around at the brothers all through the meeting like he is suspicious, really is a horror out in field service, especially picks on the single sisters, they have no man to answer to. He's such a control freak.

Disfellowship Reversal ?

by AlphaOmega in

i have read of some annecdotal evidence that in a few cases, a disfellowshipping can be reversed.. this has applied in the case of not following the correct procedure and other circumstances.. can anyone provide any links or scans or stories of this happening ?.

i believe that there is a case that was mentioned in the watchtower of two missionaries that were wrongly disfellowshipped and had it revoked.. many many thanks,.

ao.

I believe that there is a case that was mentioned in the Watchtower of two missionaries that were WRONGLY disfellowshipped and had it revoked.

At the last district essembley they said about disfellowshiping that the elders do not get it wrong, they don't make mistakes, I nearly chocked a close family relative of mine was wronly disfellowshiped.

Bets on when the UN prophecy will be dropped?

by marmot in

now that i'm free to bet, i figured it would be neat to start a pool on when the watchtower is going to change light bulbs on the prophecy about the united nations turning on worldwide religion.

there is no doubt in my mind that this prediction will be dropped.

not only is this the longest-running unchanged prediction in the wt's history (1925 and 1975 had much shorter gestations) it's the last detailed concrete prediction the society has left in its bag of tricks.

fresia

I think they won't mention much about the UN it seems to be a no go zone, they used to really give them heaps but has sort of arsed in the corner.

I noticed on the on those leaflets, a faint little mosque tower almost had to get my binoculars to see it, why is that it was about the destruction of BTG not just Christedom.

A Non-JW account of CT Russell...

by Mad in

jw
friends

>subject: fw: presby.

minister's commentary on bro.

russell.

fresia

Mad...all of your words, thoughts, and actions are dictated by the WTS. You sit there and pat yourself on the back for not viewing Russell as a prophet, yet you accept anything the Governing Body says. If the GB told you to look at Russell as a prophet, then you would. If they told you to jump in the lake, you would. You know it, I know it, we all know it. There is absolutley nothing remarkable about letting the WTS control your words, thoughts and actions.

wrong they are thoughts and actions encouraged by the bible.

Does Goofy Speculation of Prophecy by the WTBS reason to leave?

by Mad in

many leave because of it- yet isn't the truth and the wtbs seperate entities?.

the mad jw.

fresia

Those that leave followed man that's why they left, the failings and mistaks of some prophecies, so what? b/s that stay, stay because they love Jehovah not man. Ps 146: 3-5

It is Gods organization and if one listens to what the bible examples give us for our example about the how God has always dealt with his people, you would understand, instead those that left listened to man and put to much credibilty on the men in the wt that let them down, but God never will or has, one must wait as Jehovah allows errors, faith is the key.

The Question Non-Jws hate to hear! (Unless they're athiests)

did jesus have a god that he worshipped?

Kid A says.....

"Hey- you all are lettin' me down! Where's all the hostility, all the insults?"
Trolls have short life-spans on this board....you are already predictable and boring. We need'nt worry however, as soon it sinks in we are now ignoring his troll threads, he/she/it will simply create a new account (a la Fred Hathaway/Q-bert) to troll with.....At least Brown Boy was amusing!

Who's the troll then, you yourself said you are! nasty piece Kid-A, brother MADs control showed you up.

Did Jesus have a God that he worshipped?
The ignorance that this "question" reveals is staggering

It is only ignorant to those that have no knowledge of the answer.
