My sister called! I've written her a letter...
by Confession ini was working in corpus christi this past weekend, when my sister called out of the blue on sunday.
she, like the rest of my family, is a very zealous jw, and since i am recognized as an apostate, i haven't seen nor spoken to her in about four years.
i was completely shocked that she called.

Great letter, Jon. Your letter to your mother really helped me as I started my exit from the WTS back in April/May of 2008. Much appreciated.

I just sent an email to the governing body
by Awakened at Gilead ini sent a link to my new video and told them that they were featured in it.
i hope this induces mass hysteria at the tower office.. i guessed the addresses, and i haven't gotten any error messages.
so if you want to send a message to the gb or anyone else, the address should be:.

This is so funny!!!
by hihopes2008 ingive them the "mark 17" faith test!
mark 16:17-18.
"and these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.

It's strikes me a bit childish too. Particularly the 'yelp for joy'. So you got one over on a couple of young girls, big deal. And how were the young girls intruding in your space? You tell us you had to drive by scooter to your mother's place in order to do your stunt.

ANYONE actually understand the 'Revelation Book'? ?
by Latte ini'm interested to know how people felt about studying this book.
i know that they are studying it at the moment in the uk.. anyone feel that the book actually made any sense....what with all the symbolic stuff..etc..etc.
as a child they were studying the 'babylon' book.

What bothered me studying it in 2007/08 was how everything - apart from the last couple of chapters - in Revelation has already been fulfilled in the lifetime of the WTS. I used to sit and think how improbable it was huge universal issues were fulfilled in a tiny group of people in North America in the early 1900s. I used to think, what if they're wrong? What if most of this was still ahead?

KM 2009 - misrepresentation on blood transfusions
by truthseeker inin the feb 2009 km there is a 10 minute part entitled "answering questions about blood transfusions".
notice the part i've highlighted in red.
exacty what transfusions do jws allow their children to have?

But JWs do receive blood transfusions, don't they? Blood fractions are transfused, therefore they accept blood transfusions. This is just another case of the WTS talking out of both sides of its mouth.

If it is indeed the "Remnant" that is SO important
by purplesofa inwhy is it only a few of them and not all of the remaining annointed,that make the rules for the organization to follow?.

Quite how the Governing Body, a group of men specially selected from among the 'faithful and discreet slave' or anointed class, can claim to have 'special insight' when they wrote a magazine article which made it clear that the anointed class (who make up the FDS) do not have any special insight.
When does that change? When does someone from the FDS or anointed class get that 'special insight'? Is it when they get their HQ office? How does it happen? How do they know the 'insight' is 'special'? Where exactly does the 'insight' come from?
All valid Qs, IMO.

I'm sorry, but how is the leadership - GB - of the WTS held accountable by the R&F?

An old dub 'friend' writes to ask 'What Happened?'
by willyloman ini got an email from an old friend from my jw days.. our families were close for several years before they moved to another state.
afterwards we kept in touch by phone and visited each others homes a few times.
before we left dubdom in 2003, we had seen them just once in several years.

Probably not a good idea to put anything in writing. But if he's asking, why not have a phone chat? It could be he's got some issues he's trying to work through.

If Jehovahs Witnesses are the one and only true religion
by purplesofa inthen why would satan still prey on other people that are not jw's?.

Good point. Why does he blind the minds of the unbelievers if they already don't believe?
