I too remember the YHWH thing. We used to put a WT mag in the window on the way to an assembly. Now my bumper says "Dog is my co-pilot.

"Accept Jehovah's Authority" - Study Article 24th Aug
by passwordprotected inwhat space does that leave for jehovah?
the theme text is 1 john 5:3 which refers to the un-burdensome commandments of god.
quite what that scripture has to do with authority is puzzling, as it talks about the love of god not jehovah's authority.

Seriously now, I can remember years ago a friend telling me he went to the drive-in with some friends, he stepped out to get some refreshment and when he came back to the car guess what they were doing in the back seat? Both of them were fine outstanding witness at the time. Anyway he said that he never told.---Art

How do I get past the fear?
by Quester55 ini';ve been indoctrinated for a long time.
i have a residual fear that maybe, maybe, just maybe they (jw's) might be right.
but my logical mind says they are so far off into left.

When i first left I did not really know how to explain it, not even to myself. I just knew I had to get out as I could not live like this anymore. so I started to read things as many here have done, like crisis of conscience and In Search of Christian Freedom, Combating Cult Mind Control, etc. Get on amazon.com and type thought control into the search engine and many dozens of books on this topic will come up. Buy a few that seem most interesting to you and begin to read. that's what I did and it worked for me! ----Art

Can i just ask about the public and non public watchtowers..
by dobbie infor those of you that know, is there any difference between the two?i haven't been here for a few months and wondered if the public wt is tolerant and friendly than the witnesses one,and if the witnesses one was more hardline, covering the more controversial things?would just be really interested to find out if the public one has articles more designed to catch householders out, without putting anything in them that could put them off ie discipline (shunning) or blood etc.
thanks!

Preaching to Mask Problems
by WTWizard ini have noticed that the witlesses seem to have more success in scamming people that are having ongoing problems in their lives.
usually they have stagnant jobs, poverty, are having zero success with the opposite sex, or are having major issues with their health (especially mental health).
those people usually fall for the promises that said problems will be removed in the new dark ages, that the witlesses will take care of them, or both.. often, what will happen is that the person will become zealous in studying.

Good tread Wiz: I think I was attracted to the WT because I was born with some medical problems. These people promised not only immortality but more importantly that someday I could be okay. I tried real hard to fit in and do all the stuff but I could not keep up or measure up because of guess what? I had health problems. Have your read Erric Hoffers, Some thoughts on mass movements? some of you ideas remind me of his book. -----Art

I have a JW friend who has been on the fringe for years but still attends just the book study. He tried to commit suicide a while back and suffered Abandonment by his loving and caring congregation after he ended up in the psyche ward.Here's hoping, maybe this move will take hip out!
