I copied today's text from a friend to post here, but see it is already up. This is one of the most deceitful uses of this scripture I've ever seen. To state one bible quote as the truth, and then completely contradict it in the written text!! How can they do this and get away with it? I've just been so angry since I read this a few days ago...Why did I ever believe this was the truth?

by D wiltshire inexpectation postponed is making the heart sick.
(text for 4/20/02 wt 9/1/00 19,20a).
certainly, if a person is entertaining unfounded expectations, the heart can be sickened by disappointment.

Aproximately 10 years ago a sister asked me if I had seen Oprah, apparently she had a full week of witness bashing on her show.

"spying", "lurking", whatever you would like to call it.

A Heads Up On Potential Heads Off...
by hillary_step inhello,.
some of you who have 'drifted' from the wts may not be aware than in recent months the wts has required co's to report the names and circumstances of those who have become 'inactive'.
the elders are required to visit each one and report to the co on his next visit as to where they are, who they are and why they have gone 'inactive'.. as ever there may be mixed motives with this arrangement, but it as well to be prepared.. best regards - hs

I think that I received one of those "shepherding visits" on Saturday nite. An elder and another brother dropped by to deliver an invitation to the Memorial. After a few pleasantries the conversation turned weird. The elder asked me what I thought of the world situation, as if I were a householder. After I answered, he asked me the same question again! Then out of the blue asked if I had doubts about the truth. That seemed odd to me, as I have never said anything out of the way to anyone. He didn't shake my hand when he left, which was our custom. In fact, he somehow looked sad or disgusted, probably both when he left. Anyway, I''m following the advice of Patio and others to get my story straight in my head if this happens again. Damn, I wish I could tell this brother some real truth.
FreeFallin,again.

Look how far we have come!
by Joyzabel ini just wanted to share with everyone who knows my hubby (jst2laws) & my situation just how far we have come since last spring.
it was at that time that we started fading, he by stepping down as an elder and together trying to become inactive without much fanfare.
well last night hubby thought he might want to have some fun over at a jw site and tried to get on that site when he realized, and then said to me, that he doesnt know the answers to the questions they were asking.

I'm almost embarrased to admit this, but I never cheated on my time.
I believed that Jehovah saw all and knew all. As a result of refusing to lie, I received many a visit to "encourage" me to go out in service. I was viewed as spiritually weak. I started to drift away when I realized the elders were not interested in my welfare, they were only interested in my report. -
