The Faithful Steward and it's Governing Body

this will be studied in two weeks time but it's such a special .

Did the holy spirit instruct the GB to create such an image (page 23)?

Basically, what I can gather from reading this article is that the GB are openly stating that Jehovah's Witnesses are a cult.

For those of you that are unsure of the definition of a cult, read up on it. You'll find many similarities with the above article.

Circuit Oversear for dinner..."sorry no time to talk" remember this! Like Jesus is coming!

by Witness 007 in

a sister rang and left a message to see how we are....but i called back the next day and she said...."oh sorry i have no time to talk, the circuit oversear is coming for dinner, can you call back?

" this reminds me of c.o dinners it's a major suck up...like jesus and his apostles are coming for dinner.

the pioneers like this sister always get the c.o to come over.. anyone had the pleasure?.

We used to have them over in each visit (90's). They're basically CO's because they're the best salesmen. I realised something was up when I joined Herbalife and realised just how similar the WTS and Herbalife business models were.

Man made trashy cult.

Unfortunately, religion is here to stay as much of the world need it as a form of hope. If anyone believes that there is a chance that religion has a shelf life, they need their head checked.

Sorry for my naivity, but what is the OSCE? I have a vague understanding of the NGO (that it's a library run by the UN?)

Please do share.

.Who Has the Truth?

by passwordprotected in

- we have the bible as our ultimate authority.

who's authority will you accept as the ultimate one?).

God_Delusion

Password, thanks for your post.

Since I've left "the truth", I have actively spoken much of what you have written above to other active JW's. Unfortunately, they just won't listen. They are brainwashed to a level that it near impossible to break.

It took me 15 years to finally break the wall down.

And as I am sure you'll see, Reniaa will be on here shortly, displaying just how powerful the level of brainwashing is.

I personally do not subscribe to your religious views as I am an atheist, but I can completely understand your clear and very valid points.

What made me take "The Red Pill"?

by God_Delusion in

what made me open my eyes after 30 years and smell the coffee?

and why did i accept the red pill, but my parents and everyone else is content with the blue pill?.

has anyone done any research as to what wakes us up?.

God_Delusion

All great posts.

Cheers for the postcard BlueCanary :)

I have turned to atheism (as you can probably tell from my username). I don't want to get into a God vs. Science topic (although it would be fun, but maybe on another thread), but who of you on here left because you started to realise that the term "God" was man-made?

Just a small point about the first video......who, in their right mind goes hiking wearing clothes like that??

I've sent my copy to Prof. Richard Dawkins. He will watch it, make his notes and I am sure that we'll read about this DVD in one of his new books.

So what was it? What made me open my eyes after 30 years and smell the coffee? And why did I accept the red pill, but my parents and everyone else is content with the blue pill?

I had a chat with my older sister (JW) recently and she was furious at my decision to not go meetings any more. So after her ranting and raving, I asked her if she wanted me to explain why? She let me proceed. So I told her how I felt and that I started to research the WTS and saw that everything told to us was a lie.

I then backed that up by asking her to explain to me the year 1914. She told me that it signifies Christ's presence, or when Satan was cast down to earth. Fair enough I said, explain to me where the WTS got the date from? She couldn't (I mean, who can?!).

I found this funny as I only properly looked into it once I decided to stop going to the meetings. Ironic or what?

So I told her where Russell got the date from. I told her that 607 isn't a real date either. I also explained about the entire 1919 saga.

Do you know what her response was? "Those are just details! Don't you realise that your going to die at armageddon?"

She then told me that if I don't change, she won't be able to speak to me any longer (and I'm not even df'd).

So then, what did we learn from this conversation? She's just as intelligent as I am, if not more so. She's got a great career to and so mingles with with intelligent people.

So please, if anyone can explain to me what makes her brain react the way it does when listening to facts, please explain it to me. She's not the only one either.

I had a chat with my best man (also thought he was my best friend) and explained everything to him. He told me he would look into it. I got a call the next day from him telling me that he didn't look into it and after considerable prayer, thought it best to tell me that we wouldn't be friends if I didn't change my thoughts about God, Jesus and the WTS. He also told me that he wouldn't tell the elders anything as they would certainly df me.

I told him that for the sake of our friendship, wouldn't it be worth listening to me and doing his own research using nothing but the societies literature? He said no and then said he had to go.

So again I ask you, what made me open my eyes? And just to add some spice to the matter, please note that I was one of those witnesses that would have my own child die rather than have a blood transfusion. I was also out on the ministry on the weekends, and felt disgusted at the thought of me being in the same room as an apostate.

Answers on a post card please.....
