In the year 1850, did Jehovah have an organization? Why not?

Welcome!

i just want to be a true christian..i love god and jesus christ....all i simply want is to be a follower of christ...a genuine one...i don't want to read matthew 23 and know that it aptly fits my situation...i want to feel refreshed under the love of my father...i don't want to fake anymore...i shouldn't even have felt the need to anyway.... i don't know what to do....i'm tired and all i want to do is serve the almighty god...i don't want to have doubts because that alone makes me know that this isn't what god wants...i just want to truthfully be a follower of jesus...a true one.

gosh....i feel as though my life has no direction...all i want to do is follow christ the right way.... i'm sorry for rambling on....

Jesus came to bring a sword, not peace.

Are you feeling the heat?

Here at the Church of I Don't Know, it's all good. We're even cool with Jesus. Never once has he asked anything of us.

Good luck.

I too have been charged with apostasy! Stunned.

my wife and i got a letter sent to me stating we are being called before a judical hearing to discuss allegations of apostasy!

we haven't gone to the meeting in 5 years.

are the jw's on a witchhunt lately?

Well, IMHO, writing a letter is apostasy.

You can always DA by writing a letter, giving no reason. If they make an announcement, it gives no indication of what happened. However, it's safe to assume that most of the JWs know about your lights. Christmas = Babylon the Great = Apostasy, in the minds of more than a few. You've turned away from true teachings and have joined ranks with Satan, publicly promoting a pagan holiday.

What is your goal?

I would assume that they already shun you. Is that correct?

"We got on the radar and we don't know how. They saw the christmas lights hung outside."

I'm confused.

Blood transfusion DF/DA

by allyouneedislove in

i was reading the following page:.

http://ajwrb.org/currentwtpolicy/callingsociety.htm.

can a jw still be df or da for taking a blood transfusion, if they are not "repentant"?.

JWs can be DF'd for anything that three elders agree upon, including accepting a blood transfusion.

UK convention dramas recorded by American actors - the GB's yearly gaffe

i'm just curious as to whether any of my fellow brits ever pondered how the society can be so stupid as to insist using the us drama tapes at uk conventions rather than having them re-recorded in a british accent?.

as all of us brits know, the convention drama is a subject of subdued derision among uk publishers - and i've been to many a party or social gathering where, at some point, somebody whose had a little too much coke re-enacts a scene from a drama mockingly (typically by gesturing wildly into the air and saying "jer-ho-vah gaaard!!

" in an over-the-top american accent).. what the society clearly doesn't understand is that the dramas really lose their emotional impact with british audiences when performed in an american accent by amateurs.

I'm from the Deep South, so I feel your pain, Cedars.

Anothing thing, going to college is a personal decision.

Yet, we know for a fact, if an elder publicly encourages anyone to attend a university, he can lose the privilege of being an elder.

Rather than letting your light shine, it would be recommended that JW youth put their light under a basket, when they get an education, vote, smoke pot, fornicate, donate blood, vote and attend church functions of other faiths. Unless, of course, they want to become former JWs.

They can vote, they can use illegal drugs, they can join the military, they can run for political office, they can use tobbaco, they can get abortions, they can swap wives, they can participate in interfaith ceremonies.

All of these things are personal decisions.
