  God seems to have alot of failures?

  by purrpurr in

  for an all powerful, all knowing god it seems most of his plans go awry, so why assume that armageddon/ new system will work?

  look at the track record.

  ... adam and eve... went wrong.

  everything he/she touched turned to shit, you know the Big A, releasing the devil from the Abyss etc will similarly be a failure

  What Is The Most Ridiculous Thing You Have Heard From A Witness?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember an elder questioning a woman who had admitted to giving and receiving oral sex from her unbelieving mate.

  he asked her the most intimate questions which clearly flustered her.

  interestingly, she “confessed “ to the elders because her conscience bothered her.

  The map of ex Jehovah's-Witnesses and their friends

  by Roxie in

  i am an ex-jw and a member of this forum (not so active lately ;)).

  in poland, we created a map of ex-jws (and their friends ;)) to find former friends from the organization or to contact someone living close to them.

  many people found each other after many years outside of the organization thanks to this tool.

  Lloyd’s new book

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i see there has already been discussion over lloyd’s new book how to leave the jehovah's witnesses.

  this includes discussion around his personality, motives and financial gains.

  i have written a foreword for this book, because it is an important topic that has not been covered in such a complete format before.

  Lloyd Evans' New Book - Is It Really Necessary?

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so lloyd evans will shortly be releasing his new book how to leave the jehovah's witnesses.

  i do enjoy his rebuttals and the stuff he manages to get hold of and leak.

  but i'm struggling to understand what he could possibly write to merit a whole book.. all info on how to leave is right here on this forum.

  amazing how many still react to Evans being the devil incarnate, he maybe a bit of a Marmite character and I'm sure he'd even admit that he's made mistakes in the past, wouldn't it better to concentrate on the benefits that his book will bring rather than assassinating his character continually? his jwsurvey.org is a truley excellent source in assisting those leaving the cult and thats what we should be focusing on.

  Memorial.. To go or not to go

  so, as some of you will know myself and my husband are in the process of fading.

  haven't been to a meeting since beginning of 2017. .

  we weren't planning on going to the memorial, but last week my mother broke down and said that we have to go to the memorial even if it's the only meeting i go to this year.

  I think its a very important meeting to miss for a variety of reasons, its very much a milestone and loved ones who are jw's and friends etc think that even if you make the memorial once a year there is hope for you, why give them that feeling, miss it because its highly likley youre never show up again in a KH for the rest of your lives, the same is true for me.

  If you're expecting a mass exodus anytime soon, FORGET ABOUT IT!

  i have to make a token appearance at the k.h.

  once a month or so and this week went to a different hall.

  and believe me they are all still totally oblivious to all the negative news about the pedophiles and shunning that have come under scrutiny by the media and other governments.

  personally I never expected some sort of mass exodus, more interested in watching the possible financial meltdown of the Borg, but the exodus continues to be slow but noticeable, even so much as 10 years ago I wouldn't have expected to see the dreadful growth they're experiencing in Europe and a former stronghold Japan, continued KH sell offs,merges and liquidations, unheard off even 10 years ago.
