i could not believe my ears when my father told me recently that his circuit overseer (2 weeks ago) said that there are 5 scriptures that the society is going to revise.

has anyone else heard of this?

if any of them have to with jesus i am going to tell my parents to run not walk out the kingdom hall, yikes!

The changes - if true - will have nothing to do with Jesus and or/diety.

The Governing Body aren't interested in proving or debunking anything to do with Jesus.

All the Body is interested in is cementing their position as leaders of Jehovah's Witnesses into the conscious and sub-conscious of every JW. Therefore, if the changes are true, expect them to be related to the authority and position of the Governing Body.

Got to Make an Elder Squirm the Other Day

by xelder in

i heard from a very reliable first hand source that an elder in a nearby congregation was talking about my views of the organization.

so, i called him.................................................................................................. me: hello m. this is xelder, i heard that you had a conversation with h. the other day.

any idea why i might be calling you concerned about what was said?.

Listen to this audio recording of a JW challenging an elder for slandering him.

http://deathorobedience.blogspot.co.uk/2009/06/podcast-8-showdown-at-kingdom-hall.html

Within a few months the JW had been disfellowshipped.

Yeah, the elders tend to come after you...

I remember as a JW having the sort of naivety that permitted me such arrogance; you really believed that people should listen to you and do what you said because you had "the truth".
