  It's not about God hurting you. It's about a publishing corporation claiming to be Christian but encouraging 7 million people (plus the other 7 million who come out of guilt) to deny Christ.

  Hi madJW. In terms of following Christ, how do you square away refusing his body and blood at the Memorial?

  John Doe says;

  More emotional based diatribe. I grow weary of the intellectually dishonest.

  Diatribe?

  diatribe |'di??trib|
  noun
  a forceful and bitter verbal attack against someone or something

  Perhaps not reading these threads would be useful.

  Faders are indeed a large army...

  by undercover in

  ...and i think it's starting to show.. i started a thread the other day about being hounded after several years of having successfully(?

  ) faded.

  i've been taken aback a bit the recent developments but i'm making a new strategy...one that depends more on sticking to my guns and laying the cards on the table.

  Or - they're gonna have to circule the wagons, withdraw into itself and plan on having a small core group of believers.

  I completely agree. What's better;

  • 7 million + Witnesses of whom 45% or more aren't "wholesouled" in their devotion to the "slave" OR
  • 1 milion hard-core (literally) die-hard Witnesses who only ask "how high"

  Which of the two groups is easier to control? Ok, there would be less money coming in, but with smaller everything they won't need as much. Plus, how many of the 7 million + actually contributes these days?

  A time of winnowing is coming. Perhaps this year's DC will be the start.

  Not called the Memorial this year?

  by jwfacts in

  2. beliefs

  i just received my invitation to the memorial this year and noticed that the word memorial does not appear anywhere on the invitation.

  it refers instead to the anniversary of jesus death.

  is this a new thing, or is it always marketed as an anniversary rather than a memorial to unbelievers?.

  Interesting that they chose to show Jesus on the cover of the tract alive!

  The trouble with fading as your leaving strategy

  by eyesthatsee in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  whatever your chosen strategy for leaving jws, the fundamental truth is that there is no clean / simple exit.

  the mind control, the manipulation of normal family relationships etc will make any strategy very difficult at times.

  the key issue is to know this ahead of time and be prepared, as best you can.. we've all chosen leaving strategies acording to our personal circumstances, preferences and learning from others.

  If you're a Christian it's probably worth remembering;

  Ephesians 6:12 (New International Version)

  12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
