I had to chuckle tonight while listening to the tie in.

by Leprechaun in

i heard one elder say after everyone tried to sing one of their jacked up songs they have now, he said wow now that is a twisted rendition.. ( think there are a lot of people getting fed up with this direction of worshiping the governing body ) .

Enjoy it.........Daniel Sydlik telling us to get back at "Jehovah's table"

by sspo in

but it's a new king in israel.

"and david proceeded to say is there anyone left over from the house of saul that i may exercise loving kindness to him for the sake of jonathan?

>>>david said: that's the man that i am looking for.

The Governing Body just does not get it, they portray themselves as intellectuals of the scriptures but have missed its basic message and it is staring them right in the face. If they could only shed their deeply entrenched cult mentality that they are so flagrantly showing, then they would put many of their present member at ease, and their past members who have stopped would possibly reconsider. The fact that so much emphasis is being placed on recognizing the governing body in song and study articles, should cause one to pause and take notice.

loving someone vs. being in love vs. infatuation....

by oompa in

help me out here...i guess that there are all levels of love esp in a marriage.

with the tiger woods mess the news is there are many reasons people stay in marriages even when there is little or no love.... i have been infatuated before and i freakin love it!!!

!.....and btw...many a long term romance starts with infatuation...in fact i wonder how many people really in love started with it?

Did You Exit the Witnesses Due to Injustices / Difference with Doctrine-Both?

by flipper in

jw
friends

many of us leave due to injustices committed inside the organization.

i did initially.

i had doubts about some doctrines for years - but not until after leaving the witnesses was i free to be able to confirm my suspicions and see that yes, i did have valid reasons to have doubts all those years .

'Did You Exit the Witnesses Due to Injustices / Difference with Doctrine-Both?'

I guess in my case it was when I went to their so called Judicial Committee meeting” for personal reasons and seen that they are just as messed up as I am, and yet they are going to direct someone else; like their asking very personal questions pertaining to sexual relations and how it was accomplished, I could actually see some of them were getting off on asking the questions that never got answered, I told them you bunch of sick perverts. But what topped off the list was how they insisted that I not go to the legal authorities concerning my daughter being molested by a sick MF’er in the holy Kingdom Hall. *%ing @^^holes!

REINSTATEMENT !

by iknowall558 in

jw
friends

luke 15 : 7 says : - .

"i tell you that thus there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner that repents than over ninety nine righteous ones who have no need of repentance.".

within the organization, the requirements for reinstatement of those who are disfellowshipped are 'repentance' of any any previous actions and attitude ; a demonstration of no longer practicing whatever 'sin' you got disfellowshipped for, as well as demonstrating submissiveness to the elders, the regulations, and the f&d slave.

Leprechaun

(You say) MY QUESTION IS : If these 'requirements' are MET, and the person is reinstated, then WHY are they still put under restriction and not allowed certain privileges until the elders see fit, .... like... - commenting at meetings, being involved in demonstrations, or giving talks in the TMS ? They will of course, like everyone else be expected to go out in Field Service...which we all know is the 'higher' privilege. I dont think its a case that their 'usefulness' is being called into question....so whats the deal ?

Have you ever stopped to consider that maybe the Witness’s are not of god and that god is not really NOT using them as they boast so readily?

Circuit Overseer said from platform ,if you have ever done something and not confessed to Elders...going to die!!

by Lady Liberty in

just had lunch with a inactive jw friend of mine who is well on her way out.

she said that when the she went to the kingdom hall the week of the circuit overseers visit, he said from the platform, that if anyone had done any wrong doing in the past, no matter how long ago, and had never come forward to tell the elders, then they would not make it into the new system, but would rather die at armegedon!!.

i guess after that talk the elders were inindated and they began privately, and publically reproving, and removing ones!!

Leprechaun

"Elder Smelder," I would rather go to a Catholic Priest to confess my transgressions than to a pin headed Jehovah’s Witness elder trained by the corporate jelly brained governing body. Get a life all you lurkers, and wake up.

Should a Christian see the movie "AVATAR"?

by skeeter1 in

jw
friends

i give the movie a 6.5 score.

the scenery was wonderful, but the plot was not zipped up well.

it sort of follows the story-line of "dances with wolves", but in space.. .

Leprechaun

Oh grow some short hairs, it is not a matter if a “Christian” would see the Avatar movie, it all has to do if you are going to be a functioning robot doing just what you’re programmed to do. Let’s face it being a Witness you miss out on most of what life has to offer; I am surprised they have not came down hard on raisin bread.

Why Would Someone Like me Leave the "Truth"? Part 3 Continued

mike and i decided that we would find out where he lived and visit him.

he had moved to completely different area but we were new elders and determined to get our man.

we confronted bro smith on his doorstep after establishing where his house was and waiting outside long enough to ensure that he was in.
