if doctrinal explanations are missing from the article, it is because they are also missing from the magazine.. i would like to give my thanks again to my source for supplying me with the magazine article weeks ahead of its scheduled release.

it showed remarkable courage, because risks were taken.

I have just realised something else. In the previous understandings the F&DS included women. They have finally closed the door on that because no woman could ever be a member of the Governing Body.

Reverse feminism or what?

i don't really know where to start, but i guess you've all been here before so you'll know where i'm coming from.

Welcome.

Why do you oscillate between believing the JWs are the one true religion to believing they are a cult? For the same reasons a doubting Mormon does.

First mention of "new light" may appear in July 15, 2013 Watchtower

by cedars in

a trusted source informs me that the "new light" about the faithful slave is to make its first printed appearance in the july 15th watchtower, which should be available for download online three weeks from now, on around april 15th.. i'm led to believe that the references to the new understanding are made in such a manner as to suggest the "new light" isn't that new at all, which suggests to me that little or no effort is being made to explain the doctrinal connotations.

my source and i are hoping to get a key paragraph posted at the earliest opportunity.

watch this space!.

Waaaaahhh Nooooo! Run

Shocking Email from a Dear Friend who is No Longer a JW

by rubadubdub in

i received this email tonight from a dear, dear friend who i believed had died.

she was in very bad shape when i last spoke with her over a year ago.. "i'll make this short in case it is not functioning.

besides i'm not sure whether it is alright for you to read it or not.

Poor woman. I agree with those who have said you should reach out to her.

Flipping out at the meeting

unfortunatley, i still go to many meetings as i am working on getting my wife to wake up.

for the most part i maintain my composure but there have been two or three times when i actually have gotten so upset and the frustration built so high that i have come very come close to actually slamming something down or pounding the table in the literature room, or shouting out how i felt!

has anyone else felt this way?

Mickey mouse

Oh yes, I remember the feeling well. That and coming home and curling into a ball sobbing. You can't continue to expose yourself to that turmoil longterm.

When parents disown their teenaged or young adult children, they miss out on seeing them mature.

An offer from the Governing Body

by irondork in

.

the governing body took us along to an unusually high mountain, and showed us all the friends and family members that had been ripped away and they said to us.... .

all these people we will give back to you if you fall down and do an act of worship to us.
