  My introduction/experience

  i have only just recently found this site, in fact only recently gone online to do research of my own about jws.

  before i left i had only gone on my gut instinct, not even realising i was not alone with my feelings.

  the week i was appointed an elder some 11 years ago, i had had to write to a congregation many miles away from me about how unloving they were (more details below).. not long after i started to have concerns about jws, expecially as the message of 'following the bibles message' subtly changed to 'follow the fds', this did not sit well with me.

  [email protected] to the board. It's very theraputic to be a part of this community. We are all related in the faith, so to speak ;-) Many current and former elders here who feel the same as you.

  Thanks for posting your experience.

  why, he even has gone to some meetings at their kingdom hall!

  someone calls with a large wedding tent that they would like to donate and set up in the kingdom hall parking lot for the public memorial on friday.

  i was amazed how people who came that didnt even know whitney, but simply felt a need to be here and comfort the family.

  As Dubs we have it ingrained in us to turn a negative into a positive for the WTS and JAH. No Doubt JWs are a tight group...that is one of the things that used to give me warm goosebumps..ahhh the brotherhood. It is real, a real feeling of closeness but once you are on the 'outs' you realize how stale and conditional it really is. For all these brothers that closeness really helped. No arguing that they can quickly organize things. In the case of this search it obviously helped.

  Had I been a worldly searcher that day that was fed on Larch Mtn, I would have genuinely thought, wow, what a great group of people. I don't think it would move me to go grab a Bible Teach book though ;-)

  I was also bothered by this line: " Why, he even has gone to some meetings at their Kingdom Hall!" Really dip$%it...he was baptized!!! Whenever you start a statement with the word 'Why' it amps up the corny factor. How stupid.

  And the statement about Jehovah not letting it rain...sure, Jehovah controlled the weather so you could pass out more books...but he didn't help whitney when she needed it most. What another stupid thing to say.

  I wonder after all the dust settles if, and how many might be baptized because of this tragedy.

  the northern california circuit overseers been making announcements at circuit assemblies for sisters to be extra careful when shopping and out and about..."remember we are surrounded by satan's system.

  " this has been been in reference to a young sister who went missing in the portland or area.

  well now the whole story is comming out...she wasn't a victim of "the outsiders"...it was her "spiritual brother" who raped and murdered her.

  Sir82...if that's the case, what are the odds some of the notes from a (possible) JC were destroyed? Do you think a COBE would be preemptive, and have the sec shred anything that related to earlier problems with his viewing of child porn?

  hmmmmm

  Communications during Armageddon

  by bruh in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this past wt study on the things that marks the end of the world---made me think in terms of armageddon and what the faithful slave would do if they couldnt communicate with thousands of congregations since the wicked/satans world runs the the modes/network of communications.

  i may not have all the facts as to the infastructure of the worlds communications but one things for sure---with the wicked destroyed at armageddon how does the society oh organization plan to communicate with the rank and file???

  wicked gone means that possibly the internet will not be working, post office will be down, mobile carriers/towers will be out of commission maybe, tv stations will be out of commission.

  Great logical question...except...a true believer, will simply say Jah's Holy Spirit will take care of it. End of story (or thought) for 98% of JWs.

  7 years ago I would have been part of the 98%...this question wouldn't have fazed me a bit.

  Watchtower Corporation enters new business to help sheeples see that the end is very, very near!

  my dad heard from the co who heard from a do that heard from his brother-in-law that heard from the friend of a governing body's wife, that the gb is getting very concerned that "the friends" are losing sight of the nearness of the panda-petting paradise.

  many of these friends are also looking too critically at the "spiritual food" provided by the "faithful slave class.".

  don't tell anyone else, but i hear that the gb has begun testing something new on some of the sheeple.
