probably the best way for anyone who takes a glancing interest in this organization is to.
openly examine and review this religion from the ground up.
where it got started, what .
I did too Bella, as soon as I worked out that the 1914 thing was total crap. And the whole house of cards that is JW/WT theology and history came tumbling down.
So many lies !!!!!
The thread title talks of the corruption of the WT, which could lead one to think that at one time they were pure, if simply mis-understanding scripture.
But CTR was not lilly-white by any means, nowhere near as bad as Rutherford true, but from the very start it has been a dishonest scam.
congregations that are disbanded?
how many times it has happened?
not counting the congregations that are disbanded due to low activity, but the ones that are disbanded because they are out of control?.
That is what happened to the Faversham congregation in Kent some years ago Cedars, just down the road from me.
It was absorbed in to two other congs. maybe three. It wasn't very large, but was dominated by one Elder,which is what stopped it growing, 5 minutes in his company and any sane person legged it !
hi.

Big Wobble WELCOME to you and Mrs Twisty.
Your experience is so similar to my own, so I can empathise with you all the way. if you want any advice please ask the experts on here, if you wish to keep certain details off the site, and out of sight, then PM me or any on here, we are here to help and support.
Just one small piece of advice, do not do anything in a hurry, even trying to talk with your wife, you may wish to ask advice first.
There is no hurry, you are now free, and can do what you like at your own pace.
At first when I was at the stage you are now, I was on the verge of Disassociating myself, I am now very glad I did not, I also came close to being DF'd, becase I was too outspoken, again, I am now glad I did not go down that route.
Welcome again, you are now on the right road, the turnings you decide to take are up to you. We will happily be your SatNav.
i watched the nicolas cage film the knowing http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0448011/ last night and i'm sure.
that the pictures of daniel's prophecies of wheels within wheels were from watchtower literature.
i don't mean the newer publications but old pictures from the earlier books on daniels prophecies.
Wheels within wheels is Ezekiels prophecy Chap 1v16.
so i had my second random jw visit since i left.
the last time i was sick and couldn't really talk back but i was pleasant enough.
i took the magazines, but they never returned.. attempt #2: a father with his poor miserable looking son.
They've been getting soft for decades, the ones who actually knew the teachings of the religion and could make a half decent job of defending them, or presenting them, were dying out 20 or more years ago.
Your modern Dub is usually one who has grown up in the religion, so has never really listened to what they are actually teaching, has never lifted a book and read anything, and has simply peddled magazines and run away. Those who have been suckered in since the eighties have just been given a superficial grounding in the propaganda, they have no depth of knowledge.
You expect a JW to go toe to toe with you on doctrine ?You need to bring back Freddie Franz, he would give you agood debate at least, totally nuts, but entertaining.
i used to be able to say the term "the truth" with no issue.
that was whether i was speaking to jw's or not.
now all i can say is the "witnesses"(catching myself before saying 'witlesses').
Amazes me too Ding, they at least could make the effort and say "I was in the DECEPTION for X years"
How on earth can anyone who knows TTATT use the expression Troof about anything to do with the JW/WT set up ?

A verbal agreement ain't worth the paper it's written on.
I don't see the tenants getting away with this, and I just have a gut feeling that a guy who refused to put in writing what they asked, they say he fobbed them off, if he ever said to them they could have the tenancy on the terms described, and we only have their word for that, I reckon he thought about it afterward, and decided not to give it.
So, his wishes would be that the property returned to his family.
That wish should be respected, it has more merit than the tenants vague claim.

It wasn't that long after I left that I simply HATED to hear it referred to as the "truth".
The reason being, not just that it simply isn't, in any way, but mainly because this was one of the main "Thought Control" triggers that the WT used to hoodwink us, and to keep us trapped inside.
when and where do they publish their stats?
is it only in their yearbooks?.
2.4% is still a downward trend, albeit very small, the previous reported growth figure a year before was 2.5%. So, even on their massaged figures, growth is slowing down.
It must be a sign that the end is close ! ................. just as it would have been if the growth was on the up.
the blood issue has been an ongoing arguement between the roomie and me.
not heated, by any means, but she keeps qouting back established wts reasoning on the subject.
"it's feeding, jason.
Yup, LWT's letter is worth a read every so often for me, just so I remember to express my thoughts in a similar way when talking to Dubs.
Just on the "It's feeding" comment, how stupid is that ? if a man is dying of malnutrition, you can give him as many BT's as you like, if you don't give him food he will die, it ain't feeding !
Try putting that in a kindly LWT way to roomie.
