  Are ex-JW still gullible or serpent-like?

  by BEROEAN in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just wondering if ex-jws find it hard to trust others since their bad experience or are they still gullble souls?

  just wondering because some of the stories i read about past experiences are off the charts!

  some of you, your childhoods, your parents are seriously jacked up!

  BEROEAN,

  Cut the bullshit, you are not fooling anyone with your holier than thou sh*t, except maybe yourself.

  Do yourself and everyone else here a favour, LOOK IN THE MIRROR when you point that finger.

  Your other posts have been derogatory, and have absolutley no upbuilding measure in them whatsoever.

  You have had nothing nice or kind to say yet.

  When you do have substance, humour, witt, kindness, warmth or good advice to add to this forum, please post it.

  If you are going to behave like a troll, you will be treated like one. You, the person, are welcome, trolls are not.

  Assembly Hall shakedown - Columbia SC

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  from someone who attended:.

  there was a big elders meeting in columbia sc on saturday june 9.. around 240 congregations, 2000+ elders.. the society wants to build a brand new assembly hall in columbia, sc, to handle the huge influx of jws moving to the us southeast from up north.. they expect to have it done in 34 months (finished by april 2010).

  total cost estimated to be approximately $8 - 9 million.. they want to have the whole thing paid for by the time the building is done - no long term loans.. they "strongly suggested" that each of the 240 congregations commit to supporting "their share" of the expense.

  Nothing ANGERS me like the Watchtower Society (and all it's subsidiaries) does.

  To: Bethelite Brothers, Governing Body members Lurking, DO YOU NOT SEE THE GREED????

  What do you think JESUS would do if He was here on Earth right now, and saw the money that the Society was raking in from the poor brothers and sisters?

  I think there would be some Rope-whipping, table turning, and some strong language using the words:

  ''Pharisees! Hypocrites! Thieves!''.

  Apocryphal Books

  by Black Man in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i've been starting to read the apocryphal books (just for the heck of it and pure academia), you know, those books that were deemed unsuitable to be considered as part of the bible canon by the religous bureaucrats back in 317 c.e.

  at the council of nicea (constantinople).

  i think the bible and the apocryphal books are probably a bunch of crap, but can someone school me on them?

  Sounds like something the OLD god would do...

  (2 Samuel 6:6-7)

  But that was before he had a mother.

  My thoughts exactly.

  about the watchtower society or his/her lifestory,.

  Really Now - NO Treachery?

  by compound complex in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  friends,.

  was it an article in the 15 july 2006 watchtower wherein it is stated that jehovah, jesus christ, the holy spirit and the loving spiritual shepherds would not permit treachery to occur within the christian congregation?

  if so, why have my jws been defrauded and deceived - with wt sanction, some cases being brought to their attention - with regard to large sums of money, not to mention other assorted atrocities?

  He stopped reading our Christian literature and eventually told the elders of the local congregation that he no longer wished to be one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Within a short time, however, Emanuel came to realize that the teachings of Jehovah’s organization were correct after all. He contacted the Witnesses, admitted his mistake, and was reinstated as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. As a result, he again became a happy man.

  At first I thought, they were making up a bullshit story, then I thought, I bet Emanuel missed his family....

  ADVICE PLEASE. No lit for ex-JW - I have to put an ultimatum to my wife.

  by jambon1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if it is true that it has been announced that ex-jw`s are not to get the study watchtowers, then i must put an ultimatum to my wife.

  i look through the wt's at the moment to gauge any radical teachings that i may need to counter with my 2 kids.

  if my wife rewfuses to give me the 'secret' wt's then im afraid that it is the end of her taking them to the meetings.
