This is the sort of crap that wakes people up, thankfully.

Latest CO Service talk: How much do you appreciate Jehovahs provision of the Faithful Slave

by LUKEWARM in

apparently the latest circuit overseer service talks are entitled:.

(1) "how much do you appreciate jehovah's provision of the faithful slave".

(2) "directed by god's spirit in our ministry".

The only way to attain the gift of everlasting life is only by means of the "faithful slave." Humanity must accept these "trees of life"

I thought Jesus was the way, the truth and the life.

Questioning me as an apostate

by God_Delusion in

i am an active jw.

i was born in the "truth" (i really feel uncomfortable calling it that) and am now married to a witness.. for a year now, i have actually come to see that the gb are just business-psychologists.

anyone who views jehovah's witnesses as a religion and not a cult, really needs to evaluate their way of thinking and they also need to look up the definition of the word "cult".. anyway, my parents recently came over on holiday (they live in another country and are also residents of bethel).

i sometimes try to put a non-witness topic out there, guess i need a break.. i was on tv once.

when i was a missionary i was filmed as i gave a talk at the assembly.

30 seconds max.. back here in the states, i auditioned for a reality tv show once, and i made it to the first round, but the show was never picked up.. and you?.

Five beneficial reasons why not knowing the day or hour can help us - another recording from the DC

by insearchoftruth in

did not capture anything but the overarching topics here....but more on the end...... .

five beneficial reasons why not knowing the day or hour can help us.. .

listened to another section of auntbees recording, here are the five points the speaker makes why it is good we dont know......the focus sure seems to be on distancing themselves from the missed dates, while still stirring up a lot of fear and concern about being at the end of the end.

Anyone Going to Church Yet?

i've started attending church, recently.

it feels great to be able to worship with vigor and feeling.

still have the occasional trappings of having been a witness and guilt about goung to satan's house.

We go to a non-denominational church too and we love it. They church really loves having ex-JWs in attendance, too, as they get a kick out of all of our WTBTS inspired hang-ups...

hi i'm dearone i have been reading here for quite some time.

presently am an active witness in good standing with two teenage daughters.

Welcome. You'll find others here who left the Org for the same reasons you did.

Were your kids distressed after time with JWs?

by hamsterbait in

i am asking this as i think testimony from first hand could help people see what danger they leave their children in with jw baby sitters etc.. my friends let their 10 yr old daughter stay the weekend with her jw cousins.. when she came back she was having nightmares, bursting into tears, clingy (as her mother might be killed at armageddon before she got home from school).

and asking explicit sexual questions, (yes they had taken her to the kingdumb hell).

i am repeating this post as it disappeared the first time.
