TF your post is way too long... sorry!

Moshe, I see some innuendo bookish cleavage, is that what you meant in your post?

You dirty old scoundrel you!

Do you believe the "Conscious Class" will be saved? (CHRISTIANS ONLY)

by brotherdan in

there 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.

cattails

Yes!

Maybe good to try on a computer with a DVD drive.

Have You Ever Wondered If Someone You Knew Was On Here?

by minimus in

jw

that would be somethin'!.

cattails

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.

Is There (Was There Ever) an Anglo American Dual World Power?

by BluesBrother in

if you live in the u s a or the united kingdom, this is how the wt society views your government, your nation :-.

yes, as an ugly, evil terrifying beast !

this is based on the book of revelation chapter 13 , quoted as follows in the revelation climax book.

cattails

I dunno, but I see a family resemblance in the reptile's photo above and the 'Presidential' Bush family.

Who Heads God's Organization Today?

by wannabe in

who 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.

cattails

Excellent post, wannabe. Thanks.

So...how EVIL was Theodore Jaracz??

by Joliette in

jw
friends

i'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?

cattails

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 in

jw
friends

do 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..

cattails

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.
