  The Memorial is a fraud

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i received my memorial invite this weekend.. the title of this tract is "keep doing this in remembrance of me".

  those who are used to celebrating mass and partaking of the bread and wine could be forgiven for imagining that the same thing would happen if they accepted an invite to the memorial.. the memorial speaker tells the audience all that jesus has done for us.. this is where the fraud comes in.

  he describes two flocks with two different hopes, the great crowd has the earthly hope and those of the little flock have the heavenly hope.. many of those interested ones who accepted the invitation to attend the memorial may already have the heavenly hope, but the memorial talk shuts the "kingdom of heaven" to these ones.. there is also nothing in the scriptures to indicate that jesus only allowed the little flock to partake of the emblems.. and so the audience engages in a kind of pass the parcel game, with the bread and the wine, not knowing who, if anyone is actually going to partake.

  Everything from the WT is a fraud, if you ask me.

  Thanks free2think

  Dear Lisa,

  What an awful letter to receive from someone you grew up with etc. My sister also sent me a letter expressing her disappointment with me and that she herself always will serve J.

  It's just such an un-necessary loss for both...

  So you know exactly how it feels. Thanks for sharing. Love to you 2.

  Hi friends!

  I can't get over it. What to do??

  I'm still writing her regularly. Kind e-mails and text's but now I feel like writing her a really disappointing one...but I guess that won't change a thing...

  Want to Introduce myself....Hi everyone.

  by ilovelamp120 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi all, i've been reading here for awhile and made a few posts before realizing i should probably introduce myself.

  it's so refreshing to read ppl's thoughts on these topics, which run deeply personal, and i've never been able to express myself freely, so thanks for such a great forum.. i was born and raised a dub, by my "spiritually single" mother (dad was an unbeliever..still is) me and my 3 other siblings all fell away before getting baptised, other than my older sis, who was df'd at 16. unfortunatley in my early 20's a sister "took an interest in me and we had a bible study for 2 years before getting baptized at 24.

  (what a regret) since then i floundered, flopped, got df'd a year later for dum, dum, dum..."fornication and then reinstated 9 months later.

  Am I a Rebel Without a Cause?

  by wobble in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i suppose the first answer i will get is,"well something must have caused you",but my point is that being born in to the jw's,all my life,or rather the 58 years i was in,as soon as someone told me what to do i thought "why should i?".

  i now find that,apart from rejecting nearly all jw views,i am saying to myself "should i?

  " to things that people want me to do.. do you find yourself much more positive since leaving?
