  What do you think will happen when all the FDS die

  by termite 35 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm not planning anything..... but when they all pop off, what are the rest going to do?they think the ns will come before they all die, so how the heck will they cope with it ,scriptually speaking/ surely cause a few to 'desert'?

  there was a thread a few days ago about elders being up graded to fds status by some out of context crappily applied scripture;do you think they'll explain the absence of god's action with' the fds is still here!.

  or will they work everyone up into a horribly humiliating fever pitch of protelisizing ,the like of which we have yet to see?

  JT and now with the shift of the GB from officers to NONannointed dude everything is in place for what will be the BIGGEST CHANGE IN WT HISTORY IN MY FEAR.

  My thoughts..
  JF Rutherford has been dead some 60 years. They STILL believe in a Great crowd....that 1934 was the last call for the annointed.....using the Name Jehovah to the degree they do
  ....much of his crap is still taught today after his death.

  The same goes for pipe dreamer Freddy Franz..disfellowshipping, blood, and all the other crap he either came up with or had a great part in....is still taught and he's been dead some 10 tears(is it ten?)

  My point is the foundation has been laid years ago, for the doctrinal belief structure they now have. They will change some things when the FDS finally pass away.....they change things now while they are alive.
  ...what will be different? What types of CHANGE do you guys feel will take place?

  Just one more thing....wouldn't it be nice to send Ray this thread as there are so many comments about how his book(s) have aided so many out? I know he hears of many stories but more is better.

  Ashitaka......it's 5:15 am and you just made my day!
  What an awesome event in your life! If I found out my wife, or daughter and her family, mom, sisters, aunts, whoever......were planning on reading any two of Ray's books....I would have a stroke!

  This is an awesome example to all on the board to see one as yourself, and now your parents, make this break! People are floored when they here of someone leaving the dubs as they are one of the toughest nuts in the cults to crack

  I want to go back to all your previous posts and see how you slowly had a mind change with some help from all of us here.

  This makes me want to help others here even more! People REALLY DO leave!..........Thanks so much for this great news!

  If your family/friend(s) left the dubs..which way

  by gumby in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after seeing how many paths each have taken here.....do you wonder which direction those who you know still in the borg would take?.

  would they remain believers, become atheist, agnostic, eastern beliefs,wicca.....whatever?.

  i haven't a clue which way mine would go, and i don't think any of us probably know for sure which way those we know would turn.......however... take a guess.

  If they do leave...I would'nt get too excited of what they choose at first. You go through so many ups and downs that you don't know what to believe at first.

  Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story

  by ozziepost in

  the story begins...... the april 1 issue of the watchtower seeks to paint the followers of the wts as being superior because they don't pray the lord's prayer!.

  note how this is presented:.

  millions regularly recite jesus' model prayer in church.

  'Oh great Jehovah who art in heaven..hallowed be thy name'
  It just wouldn't fit anyway!

  Also ....forgive us our debts as we forgive OTHERS'.
  Who are the OTHERS they forgive? Certainly not the world!

  Another bloody risk

  by Earnest in

  1. watchtower

  the london times of 6th march 2002 reported :lung fear may lead to curb over mothers giving blood.

  the national blood service said yesterday that it was actively considering restrictions of blood donated by women who have been pregnant because it can trigger a fatal lung condition in the recipient.. four people are known to have died in britain in the past four years because they have received blood from donors who are mothers.

  the same factor is thought to have caused another ten deaths.. women who have been pregnant produce antibodies to protect themselves from the foreign cells of the foetus, and the levels rise with each pregnancy.

  Sorry folks!!! I goofed. I was wrong!
  
  I asked my wife again if she had gotten it from the society and she said no. I said I thought you said last night you said you did and she said "I said, I didn't"

  My mistake, and again,I apologize!

  This however dosen't take away from the mindset of a JW. It would be just like the society to arrange it this way if it were from them.
