Honestly, Reniaa, you really do talk a lot of rubbish.
Enforced trinity worship?
Good luck with your unquestioning obedience of the Governing Body, hope that works out well for you.
is there a possibility for jw's turning against the gb, perhaps by boycotting the "meetings" and fs?.
in my opinion, i think we could be heading for something to that "effect"..... i have heard several "brothers" in my cong talking about the "need" to adapt to the ever changing world..... .
are they gonna go mainstream and avoid a possible revolt?.

i woke this morning and realized that i'm really missing the truth, so i've decided to just go back being a jehovah's witness.
things will be different this time.
i'm going to stop questioning and just accept everything i'm told and attend all the meetings.

Funnily enough, I got a text message from Hobo Ken this morning which stated something very similar to yourself. You guys crack me up.
do the dubs think they have the truth answer:yes.
the jw's honestly think they have the truth but we all know they dont because they have several doctrinal errors.
they dont think about it logicaly, if they had the truth wouldn't god help others become witnesses yes,and that means that the jw numbers would go up but they actualy go down.and not to mention all the ''end of the world dates'' that they have proficied.. .

In fact most (if not all) Christian sects like to accuse all other Christian sects as not truly being Christian, or not truly knowing Jesus. Kinda funny to see.Interesting. Evidence?

I believe there are groups within congregations that are part of a revolution, but it's an internal one. I believe that there are groups - married couples, little pockets of friends - who have woken up, mentally, to the WTS and are merely 'going through the motions'. They probably aren't putting money into the box, they are probably fudging their report slips. All they lack is the courage to walk away from family and friends.
I don't ever foresee a time when the WTS will do a Worldwide Church of God.
i wanted to share some very cool (in my opinion) news.
in two months i will have been gone from bethel for 14 years and attended my last meeting 11 years ago.
i spent 11 years at bethel sacrificing all of my 20's to the borg and finding myself at age 32 with no resume or real work experience.. it has been a tough haul with the majority of my energy going into building a career.
That's fantastic news, congratulations.
with the june 15th article (on jw.org) about the slave and governing body, we can see the planned progression of breaking the slave from the domestics.
therefore, lumping the claimed-anointed and the great crowd in the same group for all intents and purposes.
7:9;john 10:16) should not individual members of the anointed and the "other sheep" trust the slave appointed over them?
Slave Class denotes a group who serve, a group who are at another group's beck and call.
Steward Class doesn't carry the same idea.
i was perusing the latest 2008 wt library and i ran a search for luke 21:8 (one of the worst texts you could read to a jw).
when i first ran the search, the library only popped up with one article from 11/1/64 wt and a reference to some book called the kingdom of god is nigh (published by the wt in 1944, but is not found on the cd.
i did find it on the internet, though.).
This was one of the verses that blew my wife's mind and started her speedy exit from the WTS.
you remember the song "you get what you give"?.

did you ever hear the rest of the album?
I researched him a number of years ago and learned he'd been raised as a JW. The title of the album is real give-away. It's cool that he broke free and went on to have a successful, fulfilling career.
this video series on you-tube is one of the better ones explaining the decisive corruption of the organization.
and how people are treated by the organization when they are just simply seeking the truth.. its bit long winded at times but the speakers get directly to the point and makes things quite clear.. the people commenting are all ex-jws of course but they were very close to the higher levels of the organization.. have a watch and listen and see what you think for yourself.......hta.

Bill was great and you can't miss the twinkle of glee in his eye when he talks about the WTS false doctrines.
"What's the fruitage of a false prophet? False prophecies!"
Bill and his conventions really helped us on our exit from the WTS. We owe him a debt of gratitude. Chris Sanchez's testimony along with "Out of the Watchtower into What" by David Reed were real mind-free-ers...
is paradise is a universal archetypal concept?
or has it been the carrot to keep people subjected to rules and laws decreed by treacherous religions and upheld by governments?
the egyptians believed it; that's why their bodies were so carefully embalmbed, organs preserved in gobi jars; possessions included in the burial chambers, including live slaves destined to die to accompany their master; a lifetime spent planning a funeral.. .
Jesus absolutely wants his followers to have the best life possible now. The Holy Spirit he sent from the Father produces the fruitages of joy and peace, both of which help us cope with virtually anything.
Jesus also spoke about the Kingdom of Heaven, something we should be looking forward to.
However, I agree; a full, great life is possible now which will be a mere glimmer of a flicker of a shadow of what we'll experience in Heaven.
