Every time I think I have a grip of the extent of the dishonesty of the society's scholarship, the floor gives way beneath me. I need to explore this a little further...thank you, thank you.

Hi, guys: Can you explain what's going on with the "j"?

Oompa, in another post a while back, you've referred to a letter you got from the society regarding the use of "Jehovah" in the Greek scrips. What was that about? I'm not trying to hijack this thread but I get the feeling I'm missing something (which wouldn't be the first time)...

This is the last post I'm allowed until several hours go by ... and I'm using it on YOU, Oompa (but you're so worth it...!)

Who really is the slave? The Governing Body!!!

by Ultimate Reality in

with the june 15th article (on jw.org) about the slave and governing body, we can see the planned progression of breaking the slave from the domestics.

therefore, lumping the claimed-anointed and the great crowd in the same group for all intents and purposes.

7:9;john 10:16) should not individual members of the anointed and the "other sheep" trust the slave appointed over them?

Cadellin

The Society makes the distinction between "individual members" of the anointed and the anointed as a class or group. I don't think there's anything new in this point specifically. The individual members have always been subject to the slave as a whole class or group, in JW doctrine.

The ability to at once view a group both as individuals and yet as a class or composite whole is something the Soc. does in their eisegesis (thank you, Leo, for that word and yes, I probably misspelled it.) For example, they do the same thing with the 24 elders in Revelation, who are supposed to represent the anointed as a class in their heavenly position, even though the Two Witnesses represent the anointed on earth at the very same time. Yes, its confusing. No, it doesn't make any sense.

Welcome, welcome...it's tough when your family are die-hards. I know where you're coming from, but hang in there. Like others have said, this place is very therapeutic!

Howdy from a long time lurker

greetings all:.

i just want to say howdy and thank you .

You guys are the best...! Cate: Actually, we've never discussed the blood issue as far as doctrine goes. Weird, huh? I've never thought about it that much, in terms of it being a flip-flop thing (sounds like something you'd wear to the pool). Guess I need to do more research. It's great to hear from other wives; it seems like there are more husbands who wake up to this religion and have their wives stay in, than vica versa.

Thank you, all of you, for all your wonderful replies/welcomes!!

Quandry: Yes, totally. At least I know. That's huge. This is where my husband and I differ; he doesn't want to know. He actually said to me at one point that he would rather continue in ignorance than put himself through what I was going through (I was doing a lot of crying at that point).

Starting Over: I'm trying to get over the fear...its just that, being raised "in", the "out" is presented as so terrifying and awful. Moreover, everyone and I mean everyone in my immed and extended family, as well as my husband's, are super strong, pioneering, etc. I keep wondering, "what's wrong with me? These are all intelligent people, yet they don't seem to get the gaps in logic, the plain erroneous statements made in print or from the platform, the blatant over the top control tactics. Is it just me?" Sometimes I think I'm going crazy...yes, I've read COC and it was great. It helped but I'm still here, in my own wee sphere...

LockedChaos: You hit the nail on the head. Its good to know there are others experiencing the same thing.

Want to Introduce myself....Hi everyone.

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.

Hey there, ilovelamp120! Welcome aboard from one newbie to another. Best thing to do is to read... read...and read some more...COC by R. Franz is a great place to start.
