Well first, don’t you know yet that Jehovah does not deal with or use the Jehovah’s Witness organization? If how they treat each other is any indication of how they match up to the scriptures admonition of “you will know my people by the love they show each other”, well, that pretty much knocks the ball (them) out of the stadium.

Is Jehovah Telling the Governing Body to Shut Down?
by metatron inis the governing body haunted by the thought that jehovah is telling them no and shut down?.
rutherford is reported to have sought cash and rationed coal as a test of jehovah's will.
knorr reported on getting an unexpected windfall of cash when they sought to buy the towers hotel.. but from where i sit, jehovah seems to have become very ungenerous towards these would-be theocrats, in recent years.. they dumped subscriptions.. they cut literature.. they went to paperbacks.. they cut magazines, by my count, for the third time.. they laid off bethelites.. they sold off brooklyn buildings.. they sold off printing/binding equipment.. so, now their latest 'litmus test' of jehovah's will is to simply dump the magazines in one lump and tell people to only take what they need.

A Very Solomn Warning!
by wannabe ina very solemn warning!.
how many people today really understand the bible?
would we believe that, some or any, for that matter, of the mainline religious leader's of christendom's great system of religion, understand the bible well enough to teach it to their flock's?

“solemn warning” well first to name your post in this manor smacks of arrogance. My first gut feeling was that you are a extra sanctimonious Jehovah’s Witness, who feels he can gain some brownie points with the almighty, and their-by earn his way to salvation, apart from his “amazing grace” he shows to all humans.

Getting into Arguments with JW's...
by ForbiddenFruit ini'm trying to fade away, but i sometimes find myself in discussions or arguments with jw family/friends/white haired virgin elders.
now, i usually have them beat on things but i'm not very experienced, so i was thinking if you guys could help me put together a list of completely unanswerable questions to pose to my jw friends/family/elders so they can stop bugging me.
if i keep asking them questions they simply cannot answer, then they might leave them alone.

Basically being a Jehovah’s Witness and worshiping Jehovah is two different things entirely, now that I am out of the influences of the Witnesses, I feel I can worship god in spirit and truth unfiltered by the Sociality. Why should the conscious of a few men rule my god given conscious, that god gave to each man and women. I guess it boils down to the fact the Society's chief aim is to be a cult and make us all puppets rather than true Christians. anyone that can not see this fact just needs more time being abused by the Borg.

Yes it is hurtful to talk to family or friends about anything because it seems it always ends up with hurt feelings, them trying so hard to count time on you, or make me feel like basically shit. I hope I never did that to anyone when I was a Witnesses.

Yes the song had a nice melody. “Make the truth your own” it’s a stupid statement the doctrines are owned and conceived by the Watchtower Society most are not even mentioned in the bible, so how can you make it your own, unless that means to give in and be Absorbed by Landrew, brain washed, give in.

What a contrast in outlook there is betweenthose who are part of the Christian
congregation and those who are not!For goodreason, then, Jehovah tells his servants to attend
Christian meetings.Just think what would become of you ifyou were to abandon the protective environment
of the Christian congregation.When the Witness magazine’s says stuff like above “Christiancongregation” it just makes me sick, or that Jehovah is talking to them only and they are somehow special, this kind of talk is an example of mind grooming. It reminds me of the scripture referring to the last days that they will be self assuming, haughty. There is a complete lack of humility with the printed material.

What Do You Value in your Life Now that you Exited the Witnesses ?
by flipper ini was talking with a friend of mine on the board yesterday and the discussion gave me the idea for this thread !
( thanks friend !
) and it seems as we were talking the thought came up that many of us when exiting the mind control of jehovah's witnesses we really come to appreciate the freedom to think how we want and be able to have access to other views which helps us to have a broader scope , or broader world view than just the tunnel vision of the wt society.

I value many things, but here are a few beginning with the most important:
1. Relationship with my daughter’s ,grand kids and friends during the holidays, we did not have spontaneity in our lives being a Witness.
2. Utilizing my own conscious rather than the prearranged collective conscious’s of a bunch of Wankers in NYC.
3. Not having to look over my shoulder anymore worrying what some elder or fellow worshiper may or may not feel or do if they see me light up a Lucky Strike, or anything else I feel like doing.
4. Go to the Casino and play Bingo and enjoy every Friggin moment of it.
5. Not have set through those boring assembles anymore listening to stuff I knew was bullshit all along but my dad made me go anyway, now I am fifty six I can easily tell them to past it on their own walls.
