  i really shouldn't be starting any new threads and almost put this one as a reply in the 1928 pdf messenger thread, but it is just too juicy to get buried right away.. i suggest that anyone even halfway interested in jw history download that 1928 messenger pdf.

  it is full of treasures.

  here is one i found on page 7 of the newsletter (page 25 of the pdf file).

  Was this an "Oops" moment?

  by cameo-d in

  2. bible

  god said: "man has become like us, knowing good and evil"....and because of this they were expelled from the garden.. was this an oops moment?

  does this indicate that god did not mean for man to have reasoning capability?

  genesis (message bible).

  Inability to take hints

  when people would say, "i don't understand your beliefs on dfing," or, "i don't understand your beliefs on the end times calculations," (even after these were explained)....i used to think i'm just smarter than them.. now i realize they comprehended it just fine but were trying to say, "i don't agree with you," in a softer way.when people would say, "i'm too busy to talk to you right now," i thought that was an invitation to return.. now i realize they were trying to say, "please go away and don't come back," in a softer way.

  So my mom now knows I'm apostate

  by JWinprotest in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i finally broke my silence yesterday in a discussion with my mom.

  for months now i have been dropping hints here and there that i am not pleased with many things happening in the org, but i would always present it from a concerned jw prospective.

  my wife wants us to remain closet jw's because she has bigger reservations of displeasing her family than i do, and wants to continue playing the game.. yesterday however my wife wasn't around, and for the 100th time my mom was ragging on me for attending one of my best friend's weddings because he was marrying a non jw, and the fact that his df'd brother was there.

  funny jwinprotest......ome of us can just not seem to shut up.....it can get very ugly.......i drove my wife nuts for two years until i finally shut up.

  you will likely find that staying quite, and only dropping tiny hints at the right moment that may cause them to ask their questions works better......you cut loose with both barrels and it drives them closer to the org and jah........i still struggle with it....esp with my dad who is retired and an elder.....i feel stupid for wanting to wake him up when there is no way in heck they could find a new social structure to replace what they have at this point in their life......it has been tough enough for me, but would be much easier if wife was out.........good luck

  i hate to say it but you sound much like me!!!............oompa

  i left the jws one year ago by moving accross the country and not going to a new hall.

  the dubs in my last hall knew i was moving and they know i haven't requested my card for a new hall.

  what do they usually do in such a circumstance?.

  "This Good News of the Kingdom" is NOT Jesus' Gospel

  by Farkel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the wts and dubs like to brag that, unlike all other religions, they are the only people preaching the truth about "this good news of the kingdom" on earth.

  they claim that their most important purpose in life and as dubs is to preach that good news.. .

  they use their favorite verses in matthew 24:14 and revelation 21:3,4 to describe what that "good news of the kingdom" means.

  Apostacloset: BIG NO NO!

  by White Dove in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i made a mistake when talking to a df'd person i used to know in my old congregation.

  she was super pioneer at the time, and i just found her on fb and found out she's df'd.

  i used the word "apostacloset" when explaining that i'll come out of it when the time's right.

  Make Your Case for God's Existence

  by Megachusen in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  quite a few of the ex-jw's on this site are either atheist or agnostic.

  i figured that it would be interesting if the theist side could make their case for god's existence and then non-theists could either debate the points or concede, depending on the arguments given.. so, if you believe in a god, please tell us your most convincing argument for why we should aswell..

  as a severe agnostic........i just cant get past how amazing everything is.....from the atom and molecule and cells......to the amazing ocean and land creatures......to the awesome universe.......and repeatedly incredible orgasms where we usually still mention god a bit............oompa
