"Jehovah's organization has never claimed to be inspired." <--- so... according to them the Organisation that originates from Jehovah (aka the omnipotent God) is NOT inspired by God himselve... HOW ON EARTH COULD IT BE A ORGANISATION LEAD BY GOD IF IT IS NOT INSPIRED BY HIM!
................................it's all done with study, obedience and self-sacrifice

One C.O. once said "Brothers to you think all those little quotes in "watching the world " are just for our amusement ?
(In other words there is a message from the WT for us to learn and accept as truth or fact )
"The Watching the World section of the Awake has a clear agenda of which you have already pointed out:
It aids in allowing the Witnesses create their own fear mongering scanarios while at the same time appearing to be merely "reporting the news."
~~~~Sab
If in such little things as a quote there is an agenda... then what of a complete video ?

Oh, dreary life in want of pure motive
Broken trust set up in such sweetness....
shattered dreams found on the hidden side of the leaf
that reveals it's message so sadly clear
trust those that need you
when you have nothing to offer but yourself

It may be of little consolation but your suffering makes some of the rest of us realize how little we have to complain about in our life
it gives us hope in the survival of the human spirit
I am truly sorry for your unspeakable pain and suffering....I wish you all peace & comfort
T here is a reflection of pain in her eyes, as she fights back tears.
Trying to figure out why she has put up with it all of these years.
Innocence gone.

disfellowshipping untruths
by wallievase inif the whole disfellowshipping arrangement is from the bible, where are the scriptures that say you can appeal decisions or that if you are reproved what 'privileges' can be taken away?
or what about the fact that any offense they want can be lumped under uncleanness and used to kick you out?.

As mentioned above a "sinner " is put in the same category as an "Antichrist ." not even speaking to such because of great personal risk 1Jn2:2
This is certainly overdoing it... it is much like inferring that you need a "restraining order.."
which is put in place for protection against supposed harassment, domestic abuse or stalking
No contact at all as if. ....your very presence is a great personal threat .
It is as harsh as saying every crime or infraction of the law is worthy of the death sentence

" I guess I just need to remind myself once in a while that I am making progress, to give myself a pat on the back, and stop grieving over the past." ............WE must all find a way to love ourselves first. The bible thought of “There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving.”—ACTS 20:35. But self-esteem and self-worth must be built first IMHO .........................................................................................................both virtues and vices––everyone has at least eight good traits and eight less desirable ones. Don't beat yourself up––it's a whole bundle and you get to work on the parts you don't like. What matters is recognition at this point, acknowledging which traits you feel let you down in some way and finding good traits that you have probably never even thought about. .............................................................................................................Stop telling yourself negative stuff. Things such as "I am so fat" or "I am so stupid", do not help you, period. They are bad stories that you choose to tell yourself and they do not let you off scot free from having to continue to work on yourself, which is often a compelling reason for maintaining a negative view of yourself. Instead, choose to tell yourself a different, more self-respectful story whenever the negative voice raises its noise level. Tell yourself helpful things, such as "I need to work on my schoolwork harder", "I will get that promotion if I spend more time reviewing my management skills" or "I may be short but I am the fastest and most agile person on this field". these are just a couple of thoughts from this site ...............................................................................................................http://www.wikihow.com/Image:Love-Yourself-First-So-Everything-Else-Falls-Into-Line-Step-07.jpg .......................................................................................................................I have an everyday religion that works for me. Love yourself first, and everything else falls into line. ~~~~~~Lucille Ball.................................................................................................................. P.S I am having the same problem I can't make paragraphs ...it all runs together only dots to break things up

Jehovah's Witnesses are NOT false prophets
by SloppyJoe intonight on the service meeting we discussed why jws are not false prophets.
of the ten minute part two were spent discussing that jws just had wrong expectations and only very minor changes over the years although nothing specific was mentioned.
the other eight focused on the core bible truths that have remained the same over the years.

JW's GB CAN NOT BE FALSE PROPHETS OR THE FALSE PROPHET BECAUSE THEY HAVE GIVEN THAT TITLE TO THE ANGLO AMERICAN, THE LAST WORLD POWER. ~~~~(prologos) Actually there is a shade of meaning that fits this idea Because of the way "prophet" is commonly used, there is a misconception that its basic definition is "someone who foretells the future," but this definition is too narrow. Prophet is better defined as "one who speaks for another." A true prophet, then, is a person who speaks for God, delivering a message that God has ordained him to give In a similar way, a false prophet also may not be in the business of foretelling the future. A false prophet is simply someone who speaks for another but falsely. False prophets either speak for the wrong god, or they claim to have heard from the true God but do not accurately represent Him or His words. At the very least, they speak out of their own human hearts It is true that, if a prophet foretells something that fails to come to pass, he is a false prophet (Deuteronomy 18:20-22), but foretelling the future correctly is not the determining factor when looking at false prophets. The real issue is whether one who claims to be representing God and speaking for Him, is doing so accurately or falsely. A prophet may accurately predict an event or demonstrate supernatural power, but if he is leading people away from the true worship of the true God, he is a false prophet. "Prophet is better defined as "one who speaks for another". In this broader definition JW's below.. w72 4/1 p 200 "Yes, the time must come shortly that the nations will have to know that really a "prophet" of Jehovah was among them. Actually now more than a million and a half persons are helping that collective or composite "prophet" in his preaching work and well over that number of others are studying the Bible with the "prophet" group and its companions." " He had a "prophet" to warn them. This "prophet" was not one man, but was a body of men and women. It was the small group of footstep followers of Jesus Christ, known at that time as International Bible Students. Today they are known as Jehovah’s Christian witnesses" If the prophet's message contradicts what is already established as God's Word, it is evidence that he lacks spiritual understanding. If his words do not line up with God's law and testimony, he is not speaking the truth.

So it seems we have an uninspired organization that receives “new light” from a “particular source” that isn’t Jehovah.

"Jehovah's organization has never claimed to be inspired."
