Do you believe the "Conscious Class" will be saved? (CHRISTIANS ONLY)
by brotherdan inthere are thousands of people sill trapped in the organization that realize that it cannot be what it claims to be: god's only true organization.
but do you think that these ones that still believe in christ and his crucifixtion will still be saved?
after all, salvation does not come from an organization.

I PM'ed with someone I knew from a neighboring congregation at home.
He recognized me from my avatar photo, although we hadn't seen each other since he got DF'ed back in the mid 1990's (is that right? I'm not sure when you left...)
Back then I was a happy/unhappy kid as the moods swung, and was quite oblivious to everything around me that didn't perk my interest.
I'm more "conscious" now, but I can't help the feeling that there are more people, maybe lurking, that I know personally and haven't made a connection with yet.
I should say that I've met a few on Facebook who'd DA'd or gotten DF'ed or faded over the years and we connected again. There's a lot of JW's and ex-JW's that seem make connections on Facebook despite the WT's admonitions to not frequent such sites.
If you recognize me contact me here or on FB.

Who Heads God's Organization Today?
by wannabe inwho heads god's organization today?.
i've been thinking about this idea about a visible organization.
not the governing body of jehovah's witnesses at all, they, along with the entire realm of religious christendom are a non-entity.

So...how EVIL was Theodore Jaracz??
by Joliette ini'm reading crisis of conscience right now and even raymond franz mentioned in his book that ted jaracz didnt vote during governing body sessions based off of 'a gut feeling' like dan sydlik and lyman swingle did, but voted based off of having 'a mean spirit (dont quote me on that) but bascially got an overall vibe that ted jaracz was not a very nice man.
and whats this about the child abuse policy that he enforced?
what did he do that made every ex-jw's in america hate him?

There was a sister next door in California who said she'd been sexually abused by him.
She later committed suicide if I'm not mistaken, anyone have more info on that?

What do you think about the anointed?
by MrFreeze indo you think most of those who claim to be anointed are faking it or do you think they actually believe they are anointed?
it's something i've always wondered..

Being "anointed" is being a "Christian," linguistically. I believe what Jesus said about needing to be born again, born from above, spiritually speaking.
I believe that those "conscious of their spiritual need" don't follow company men from any religious publishing corporation, they instead follow the Christ.

by EndofMysteries inone in which you are present, as if only one party is aware or doing it, it's legal.
is there a fairly inexpensive device can buy which either in a pocket or somewhere discreet can get a good recording of up to 2 - 3 hours?

Just about any MP3 player at Staples or Office Depot stores will allow you to record voice and or record an FM station. You can use it on meetings or assemblies and it picks up pretty good while in your purse, bookbag, or pocket.
(If in your pocket don't squirm about much as it will record noises, and by all means no passing gass or scratching in places, it may pick that up too, and don't forget to turn it off if you go to the bathroom during the meeting, goodness! What an embarrassment that would be. :-)
You can get a cheap MP3 player on sale for around $20, and a USB rechargeable for $30 and up, hunt around for deals at Staples.
