  im kind of new here.

  i was a former member of this site, a little over a year ago.

  had planned on writing a backstory of what happened in the past year but decided to keep it simple.

  i hope everyone else in colorado springs is doing ok, and getting to safety if they are inside the evacuated areas!

  for those that don't know, it is a literal apocolypse here.

  Introducing Mrs Cedars...

  by cedars in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just thought you should know that mrs cedars has finally taken the plunge and joined the forum.

  she was able to log on for the first time yesterday.. though we both "awakened" at different stages, mrs cedars was very supportive and non-judgmental when i first began exploring my beliefs from a critical standpoint.

  she is currently in the process of reading crisis of conscience and aquainting herself with some of the facts of witness history that were hitherto unknown.

  The Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses - Explained

  by cedars in

  i've just finished putting together a fairly exhaustive article that summarizes a number of key details about the governing body that most jehovah's witnesses are completely unaware of.

  a link to the article is below:.

  I agree with 00DAD - I would love to know what kind of education these men have had. Since a lot of them started the full time service in their mid teens, it makes one wonder if they finished high school.

  And thank you so much Cedars! Such an interesting read.

  For NFL fans

  so i got into the nfl in the early/mid 90s.

  back then there were some great running backs - happening onto a lions game late on sunday night over here and seeing barry sanders was what got me into it.

  but it seems the running game is dead.

  I love running backs. I went to a number of OK Sooner games these last few years and Adrien Peterson is the man!!! Keep an eye on him - he is now with the Vikings.

  Governing body member engaged... Again!

  2. experiences

  just found out that the australian governong body member known as geoffrey jackson got engaged to a sister about two weeks ago.

  it really shocked me at first but then i remembered how other members of the gb have remarried in the past like daniel sidlik.

  what made me say "woah" was hearing that the holy bride to be is really young!

  Cantleave..."How cruel, he's off to heaven and will leave her on Earth!!!" You are forgetting Cantleave that the majority of JW wives want their husband off this planet.

  Now That You're Out Of "The Truth" What Do You Do With All The Extra Time?

  life is so short and being a witness is such a waste of valuable time.. now, i do not feel rushed or compelled to be at a meeting or out in field service.

  much less stress!.

  Joined a trivia team 2 nights out of the week. Take Sundays to do NOTHING. Maybe watch the grass grow, but that is it. Socialize way more and with people I actually like. From September - December, I spend every single Saturday in my Woman's cave watching college football all day. Holy B'Jeebers - only 7 more weeks - God I love being a heathen.

  Latest WT: "Refusing to appear before a JC is like refusing medical treatment"

  by cedars in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the latest october 15th 2012 watchtower (page 13).... "because of what they perceive as defects in the elders, some individuals who engage in serious wrongdoing in the congregation have refused to appear before a committee of elders assigned to help them.

  this could be likened to a patient who loses out on the benefits of a treatment because he does not like something about the doctor.".

  sounds like they're now trying to stigmatize those who try to avoid judical action.

  I would definitively take a blood transfusion if needed. However, I absolutely refused to show up at any of the numerous committee meetings they kept setting up my behalf. A blood transfusion could save my life. Telling brother bob, tom and jim what position I was doing it in would accomplish nothing.
