  It's awfully enslaving (may you all have peace!)... because in one place it (the Bible) says this and in another it (the Bible) says that. How does one know which is RIGHT? Many (including yours truly, at one time) look to religion for the answers, unfortunately, and so are grossly misled. Having the "law" written on one's heart, however, dispenses with the need for that digest... and religion. Sadly, not all have the confidence... or faith... to dispense with either.

  Again, peace to you!

  A slave of Christ,

  Sounds like you haven't done very well in ceasing to be a slave

  Help: Re: Letter to elders NOT to disfellowship otherwise legal action will be taken

  hello there everyone.

  i remember reading a while back about someone on here ( i think) that wrote a letter to the body of elders & headoffice that they should not take any action to disfellowship them as they would be distancing them from friends and relatives and would proceed to take legal action if the body of elders went ahead.. if anyone has that link or can point me in the right direction i'd appreciate that..

  Dear Emma,

  Just wanted to drop you a very short email to say thanks to you and your production team for your piece on Nathan Phillips. I'm also an ex-Jehovah's Witness and was really grateful that there was some exposure on the reality of the Jehovah's Witness cult. Unfortunately Nathan's story is hugely common around the UK and the world. Hopefully your interview will help demonstrate to the public how dangerous and abusive the religion is and how it tears so many families apart (mine included). It would be great if there was more exposure on a national level of stories like these. Many thanks, Zombie

  As far as JWs being DFd if they associate with DF people , I suspect that this is rare.

  Depends on the elders - it does happen though, I have seen it.

  leaving wt - you are by no means ugly. Your hair is awful though, get a modern/trendy hair cut, maybe a bit shorter, textured with some wax or putty, grow some 'designer stubble' (most guys look awful clean shaven, stubble is men's 'makeup') and tone up at the gym and you'd be a really good looking chap

  DA Letter Script - Minimum Requirements?

  by alias in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if i am to write and send the minimal of a da letter, stating that i do not consider myself a jw (baptized as a minor), what do i need to include in the letter to make it valid?

  1. who should the letter be addressed to?

  (do i need to send duplicates: one to local cong, one to headquarters?).

  Apparently you need to sign it too, mine was sent back because I didn't sign it. Seems silly though as any other contract (utility bills etc.) you don't need go sign to end. As far as I was concerned it was a valid letter, but they might send yours back also if not signed.

  So has the wt given up on prophecy altogether or what?

  by agonus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for decades they've produced massive tomes on their own peculiar brand of wt-centric prophecy, but it seems like the production of prophecy-related material as of late has slowed to a trickle, their last prophecy-related book that i can recall was the minor-prophets book released a few years back.

  however that book if i recall was very vague in its exposition, focusing on daily life application rather than eschatology.

  and yet the armageddon-end-times-obedience-"generation" drumbeat grows faster and louder with less and less exposition as to how or when exactly any of this is supposed to play out.

  The revelation book was pretty much the reason I left, so can't be all bad!

  WT articles that make you go, "WTF?"

  by undercover in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  march 1, 2011 wt kool aid edition.... the article: does the bible condemn gambling.

  notice the highlighted boxes.... first the indication that the catholic church does not consider gambling itself a sin... and then challenges that because no scriptural passages are given in proof of their assertion.. the very next column though, the wts admits that the bible does not directly mention gambling.

  so, um, how do you expect the catholics to come up with scriptures if there are none?.

  Why do watchtower photos always have someone dressed like the gimp in the left of that last photo? Chinos and a coloured polo shirt - does anyone in real life actually wear clothes like this??? or is it an american thing?

  "Use the same email address that you signed up for here. Good luck!"

  One of the first instructions on that page. The email address I signed up here with is no longer in use and I can't change it cos the forum doesn't let me edit any details.

  Pretty useless eh.

  i'm hardly the biggest fan but i thought this was genuinely funny.

  he held a mirror up to the overpaid botoxed schmucks and some of them found it funny.

  but i'm hearing there's a bit of a criticism.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvhxzp2spla.

  It's pretty simple, his sense of humour is british - not american. Our senses of humour are not the same, as a stereotype british is sarcastic and dry - americans like fart noises and people who yell and fall over.
