  please have a look at the "watchtower" -style pins and pendants.

  with a link to this website http://jeffreydesign.com/index.php?main_page=index&cpath=7 aside from the fact that it really ain't pretty, how pukeworthy is this??

  Attn: WTBTS! What are you so afraid of? Hmmmmm?

  i suspect that you have entrusted a few "spiritually minded," "faithful" brothers to quietly monitor the so-called "apostate" websites in order to do damage control later on via the form of "new light.".

  well obviously the development of the internet has been a tremendous thorn in your collective side.

  guess what!

  I agree with everything said. If you have the truth as you say you do, it can't be overthrown because it is from God.

  Read your own translation at Acts and see what a wise Pharisee Gamaliel said about this.

  Do you have any wise Governing Body members I hope you do and I hope they think about this.

  (Acts 5:33-40) 33 When they heard this, they felt deeply cut and were wanting to do away with them. 34 But a certain man rose in the San´he·drin, a Pharisee named Ga·ma´li·el, a Law teacher esteemed by all the people, and gave the command to put the men outside for a little while. 35 And he said to them: "Men of Israel, pay attention to yourselves as to what YOU intend to do respecting these men. 36 For instance, before these days Theu´das rose, saying he himself was somebody, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined his party. But he was done away with, and all those who were obeying him were dispersed and came to nothing. 37 After him Judas the Gal·i·le´an rose in the days of the registration, and he drew off people after him. And yet that man perished, and all those who were obeying him were scattered abroad. 38 And so, under the present circumstances, I say to YOU, Do not meddle with these men, but let them alone; (because, if this scheme or this work is from men, it will be overthrown; 39 but if it is from God, YOU will not be able to overthrow them;) otherwise, YOU may perhaps be found fighters actually against God." 40 At this they gave heed to him, and they summoned the apostles, flogged them, and ordered them to stop speaking upon the basis of Jesus’ name, and let them go.

  Does this mean that if I become active again, I won't have to help people and be kind? All I'll have to do is drive around for two hours every Saturday and knock on a few doors instead? I think I'll become active again.

  NOOOOOOOOOT!

  I was an elder that was deleted because I disagreed with the blood issue. Said somthing about it and that was it met with all the elders and the CO they asked me a bunch of questions for several hours and then told me I was no longer an elder. That's all I needed to realize what an oppressive group I was in. Ordered C of C and showed my wife the book and within a month we were rapidly fading. It was easy, they got rid of me so now they don't bother me. It's great having our freedom.

  i am shocked and saddened by the things that i have learned from this website and a few others i've seen.

  my grandma was a witness and my mom started to study seriously when i was 8 yrs.

  i was baptised at 13-way too young.

  State Truthful Facts About JWs That Make Them Look Bad, Weird, Foolish

  by minimus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  you don't need to exaggerate the foibles of jws to get the point across that they are not "the truth".

  can you state some facts that show that jehovah's witnesses are not "normal' and that their religion is weird and simply abnormal?.

  I am standing by for part two, Tell them from what you read in the pamphlet they gave you it seems like they believe only JW's will survive armageddon.

  Then ask, does that mean God is going to KILL inocent men, women and children who are not Jehovah witnesses?

  The Watchtower Society is drop dead gorgeous.

  by edmond dantes in

  2. experiences

  sometimes in my mind i go back to the beginning of my jw experience which for me was a very long time ago when i got really excited when the awake and watchtower came through the letter box after i paid for a yearly subscription, just to cover the printing costs you understand.in those far off days long gone in my gullible inexperienced just finished school days i really thought here was a religion to believe in ,to trust,to tell the entire world about and to show others the pretty pictures of the new world as depicted in the books and magazines.at that time i would have literally given my life in order to get through armaggedon.i really thought it was the greatest and only true religion on the planet and in my naive young mind i thought we were living with all the other brothers and sisters in a truly new world society,no more fighting for your countries wars,no more adultary,lying ,cheating,envy, money grabbing, murder etc.just the thought of holding on untill the big a .

  and i couldn't for the life of me see why everyone who i spoke to about it wouldn't believe in the message of the watchtower.i thought the assemblies depicted how we would all get along with love in the new world.thats how daft i was.. then one day a seed of doubt entered my mind which at first i dismissed as the devil leading me astray this devil concept was also backed up by a brother , a congregational overseer,telling me it was so.i thought he was right until i discovered that due to his doubts he had stopped going to the meetings ,and then i was introduced to another brother who was classed as spiritually week even though he had refused to go into the millitary and went to prison, he came out of prison with doubts about the so called truth.i thought to myself how can someone be so convinced about his beliefs that he would go to prison for it and then suddenly realise he had been wrong.. then i gradually grew wiser and older ,the scales began to drop from eyes as i witnessed at first hand a hell of a lot of hypocrisy within the so called clean organisation.i went on to learn about beth sarim and the many changes of doctrine which resulted in new light and many, many examples of the lack of true love and care within the so called new world society.

  all they were interested in was how many hours you managed to put in each week and whether you were in the clique.the list of reasons not to believe grew endless until at last just as you can fall out of love with someone the love evaporated it just vanished into thin air never to return, and i wonder sometimes where does love go when it drops down dead.. and i realise that without true substance being in love with something or for that matter someone is a figment of the mind.. .

  It sounds like you fell in love with the WT organization's teachings. This quote from Echart Tolle in his book "A New Earth" page 88, seems to be fitting.

  "Falling in love" is in most cases an intensification of egoic wanting and needing. You become addicted to an idea somebody else has about life or rather your image of what life should be like. It has nothing to do with true love, which contains no wanting whatsoever. The Spanish language is the most honest in regard to conventional notions of love: Te quiero means "I want you" as well as "I love you." The other expression for "I love you." te amo, which does not have this ambiguity, is rarely used--perhaps because true love is just as rare.

  I changed these phrases to match the feeling for a group instead of a person the real quotes say this

  "you become addicted to another person"

  or rather "to your own image of that person"

  The next thing I heard the woman say was "The only thng I think about when I come into this restaurant is that all these people are going to die". I couldn't resist, I turned around and said "do you know somthing I don't know is the food that bad here?" I turned back around and she tapped me on the shoulder and said "maybe I know more about the Bible than you do" I said "You might and then again you might not" she agreed and then I said, "that's quite an assumption to make" I then turned around and we waited for our meal.

  I heard the man say to her, "You were probably speaking to loud" don't know what she said at that point but it just figures that these wittlesses are about as judgemental as any human could ever be

  No suprises there

  This just happened today.
