id like to introduce my self as im new......a lil nervous but ready to have some conversation that doesnt require me to rely on old men in ny to think for me.

im tired of the puppetteering, the sly green handshakes to move up, the lies turned into new light- "what happened to yes means yes?

", just has the makings of a bad ponzi scheme in my opinion...i officially begun my fade this year.....and im enjoying it.

Welcome to JWN!

Don't you wish you could get away with no works cited page like theWTS does?

one of my other posts mentioned briefly how the c.o.b.e.

of my "former" hall is trying to make it a rule of no football,especially for elders and servants.. of course,as a woman i would never qualify to be a servant,nor do i want to be.

but,i still enjoy watching a bit of the nfl.

I heard from someone that Losch is really anti-football.

JW at work hitting on me!! (for real)

by Free!! in

on another thread i mentioned i met some jws at work within the past 2 months.

well, 2 of them became particularly interested and getting to know me (a lady and a guy) the lady is really nice, and the only reason i know she is a jw is because she mentioned something about no b-days or christmas and that was it... she has not tried to preach to me or anything.... .

on the other hand... this young guy, well he is making sure he becomes my friend, asked me to be my fb friend and messages me everyday at work or on fb... now the funny thing is he told me he is a jw and about 3 times already he had suggested i read my bible (whenever i post status about being bored or unable to concentrate on homework), well yesterday he sent me a message that said "i would like to talk to you tonite, maybe we can hit it up" my reaction was .

Are Jehovah's Witnesses considered a Catholic schism?

by sabastious in

i was reading through this article: http://www.ourcatholicfaith.org/thechurch.html.

1822: mormons founded by joseph smith, who made his appearance with supposed revelations in 1822.. .

1872: the jehovah's witness church was developed by charles russell.. .

JRK

Maybe a schism from the Millerite and Adventist movements.

You're not supposed to contact Ex-JWs children at all?

by Hairyhegoat in

the society has been cracking down hard on parents having contact with children who have left.

for a long time, it was kind of a "wink-wink" thing with the "necessary family business" loophole, and a lot of families found some relief with that.. but in the latest magazines and assembly parts, they're making it crystal-clear that pretty much nothing except a death in the family counts as "necessary family business".

and even then, you probably wouldn't be invited to the funeral.. the key is, they don't actually define what "necessary family business" is in the article.

My sister (the one I used to be close to) called the house the other day to talk to my mother. Instead of saying "Hi JK, can I speak to Mom?" she acted like I was a receptionist, saying this after I said hello: May I speak to (Mom's first name)? I guess I can't even be greeted now on the telephone, even for necessary business.

OPEN CHALLENGE TO GB / FDS or anyone in the BORG

by Lied2NoMore in

i openly challenge any annointed ones to use the holy spirit to come find this ms still considered in good standing in my congregation, and remove me for waking up to your bs and cultish ways.

i no longer believe in your doctrine, history, or the claim you are guided by holy spirit.

prove me wrong and come get me!!.
