56Is the world really getting worse?
by Wordly Andre ini don't have to tell you how jw's use the line about how the world is just getting worse and it's a sign that we are in the end times.
what is your thought on the world?
is it really getting worse, or does every generation say that?

Watchtower "shut off the Kingdom of Heaven" for 72 years
by truthseeker inbut woe to you, scribes and pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut off the kingdom of heaven from people; for you do not enter in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.. it took wt 72 years to open the kingdom of heaven to anyone professing to be of the anointed.. .
until recently, a wt article a couple of years ago actually suggested that partakers check their medication to be sure they were of sound mind.. strong talks were given about the qualifications to be one of the remnant.. memorial talks spent more time on identifying the little flock than the meaning of jesus' sacrifice.. .

Strong talks were given about the qualifications to be one of the remnant.
Please tell me the qualifications.
I would like to know if I am a 2 out of 3.
Thanks, Tula.

Oompa...may I add to your question? How does one really "keep without spot from the world"?
What are the SPOTS?
(is technology a spot? It's worldly. Does that mean no plasma TV and cell phone?)
How do YOU define the SPOTS?

I like making crank calls.
My friends and I used to do that after school sometimes.
We called about Prince Albert, we called with laxative surveys, we called about running refrigerators.......
What kind of prank calls do you make?
That was before the days of caller ID and call tracing.
Don't you use a TTY or TDD phone?

Y'all need to start adding some BLOG material.
Lots of news to be found and gleaned from this website.
I would suggest each website carry a short solitary theme throughout. These are some issues I would like to see brought out into the open for public attention and JWs who are searching.
My suggestions:
Book Review on Crisis of Conscience
The Ped Issue w/ info and links to Official news reports, Barbra Anderson and recent scandal concerning letter from Gail B. Jackson
Families torn apart by shunning
Marital relations must be approved by the elders...(run tell momma when you want to get your way...or....run ask momma if it's OK))
Adult material on sex discussed in front of under age children
the blood issue and flip flops and discrepencies (organ transpalnt not OK. then organ transplant OK......why the change? Did someone on GB need a transplant?)
Political implications of baptism as a contract with organization
The UN scandal, complete with links and commentary and all available info. (library card is lamd excuse, but nevertheless, signature on agreement is beneath paragraph swearing to uphold the principles of UN charter)
Key issues of doctrine and how they can be refuted

Ready to out myself...
by Mickey mouse in...well, to you guys at least.
i'm a long time lurker, still a jw (for how long i don't know?
:-s) and at a bit of a crossroads.. you've probably heard the story before.

Mickey....
what originally brought you in as a lurker?
did you just happen to find the forum from a search engine while you were looking for something else?
were you in search of answers to scriptural questions?
had you heard rumors about a website of "apostates" and decided to take a peek out of curiosity?
were you a "spy" for the organization?
were you looking to flush out renegades from your area?
Can you tell us....how did you discover the site and what was your initial motivation for lurking?
Thank you. Welcome. Glad you are here now.
PS...one reason I ask all these questions is because, according to another thread, elders have now been given the task of "searching myspace" to out JWs that may be posting there. It seems that may give them carte blanc to stumble into other sites as well, like this one. Hope they do and hope some will come to their senses like you have.

The j.w.'s are going to revert back to cannibalism !!!!
ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE, IT'S SCRIPTURALLY OKAY TO COOK AND EAT APOSTATES !

Hubert...you may not be too far off.
Overweight? Sin of gluttony? Give it up for fuel or be DF'd.
Beware, a Norwegian businessman wants the blubber out of your thighs and tummies. Apparently the company is after 3,000 gallons of human fat that is available every week from Southern Florida liposuction clinics. That's enough to produce 2,600 gallons of biodiesel. Now tell me this isn't a heart-warming episode idea for the Entertainment Channel's show called "Dr. 90210," which is about Beverly Hills plastic surgeons. The tabloids could speculate on the celebrity patients who contribute to the first bag of organic fluff.
This is really a great fuel-saving idea. Remember the post about overweight people wasting fuel? Now you can drop a few pounds and fill up your Mercedes-Benz E320 Bluetec in one stop. What's next, harvesting human triglycerides from dead people? Oh my God, it's "Soylent Green" come true. I can already envision Charlton Heston screaming, "BioWillie is people!"

Disfellowshipped
by LadyCCC iniam now as what was announced at a recent meeting that iam "no longer a jehovah's witness" all of my family and friends are witnesses so this will ailenate me from all of my friends and family.
but i feel like i don't want to go back.
i really hate the feeling of isolation and shamefulness while iam sitting in the meeting, what's the point of it all.

My friend just got a certified letter last week that he has been disfellowshipped (in absentia).
His crime is "loose conduct" because he is "alone in house with a female".
The truth? He is very old and sick. His family (all JWs) had no time to care for him because they are tied up with Bible studies and door knocking ...active JW "work" six days a week......so he was released by hospital into my care.
I took him home with me to try to nurse him back to health. I have known him through business association for many years.
His family was behind the Df and I think the purpose was to have the org. officially absolve them of their responsibility because they didn't want to have to look after him.
Does anyone know.....do they cut you off from being able to get publications?
My friend would like to have the new daily text. How can I get one for him?
I wish I could tell him the truth about the truth....but he is so old and I think it would be too much trauma and shock for him to deal with.
I see how it has traumatized so many people here to learn that they have been duped and been a victim of mind control and behavior modification.
Lady CCC, at least you are a strong one, to be able to find your way here and to continue on with your search for REAL truth.
This I do know...it is blasphemy for any human to presume to know the mind of God and to stand in judgment of another person saying you have the authority of God to do so.

WAR IS OVER-IF YOU WANT IT
by proplog2 inchristmas is the time to talk about peace.
jesus is called the prince of peace.. john lennon and yoko ono put out posters that read "war is over - if you want it".. peace doesn't depend on scientific progress.
it certainly doesn't take prosperity and riches to have peace.

Their need to control the lives of others is just as lethal as having their hands around your throat.
A wrecked hopeless life is a death.
"let no man put asunder" goes unheeded as they divide marriage partners.
The mental anguish experienced by so many here when they discover the REAL truth causes needless horrors and regrets.
A wasted life is a death.
Yes, JWs do go to war. They don't use guns. Guns would be a quick kill.
JWs use thought control and threats resulting in emotional torment. It's an effective slow kill. Like poison.
Cults are the most barbaric groups on the planet.
They kill happiness, desire, futures, love, ambition.
It's a war, allright. Killing a family at a time.

The Preaching Work is FINISHED.
Theme "Jehovah's Spirit will not always strive with mankind"
Great Crowd being sealed now. By end of next few years.....Those who are in are IN....those who are out will then be OUT. This is your LAST CHANCE.
Signs of preaching work finished: Bethel on skeleton crew for past year; cutback on printings and publication issues; lack of entheusiam in field work and lying on time cards; rats leaving sinking ship because they see what's really going on...etc
The INNER CIRCLE is forming. Time formerly spent door knocking will now be spent on preparing for the Paradise Existence. Inner Circle activities will replace the door to door work. (keeps them away from strong worldly/apostate influence)
Language Class. Because so many have "gone beyond" wbts teachings and have ventured to learn Hebrew there will now be classes scheduled. Many, (unenlightened to the fact that "pure language" is a euphemism for "truth") believe that "Hebrew" is the pure language that will be spoken. Congo will now hold Hebrew language classes. Of course, there will be a FEE for this (wbts now will raise funds directly through its members without outside influence) Sell all you have and come buy this pearl.
New Old Agenda: LAST CHANCE
