  i would like to state publicly, on this forum, i no longer hold the views i had a year ago.. with much thought, research, study and logical examination i have come to a better understanding of my beliefs and where i stand on all these issues.. i'm very happy to announce i have returned to healthful teaching of the holy scriptures and i firmly believe that the governing body of jehovah's witnesses is the faithful slave.. sorry if i have contibuted to any kind of stumbling and know that if i can turn things around then there's hope for all who come to there sence.. phill4:6,7.

  2. experiences

  so a couple of nights ago i was speaking with a relative and we began talking about the organization.

  i had to asked her "why do you believe that this religion is the correct one?

  " they stood quiet for a second but then said that they view and feel genuine christian love, a type of love that is spoken about in the bible.

  Is the End right around the corner or what???

  interesting observations i've noticed when visiting my uber elder cousin and his wife.

  he just inherited a lovely home on the water on puget sound from his non jw dad who passed away earlier this year.

  so they have spent many $$$ and months remodeling this house to their standards which are quite expensive tastes.

  My US family is always speaking of buying real estates and stocks.

  Before our family dinner they prayed about the very short time.

  Double double standards.

  Mentioned the last time they speak not about the truth but about their company only.

  The only treasures in Watchtower La La Land are the treasures of the bankaccounts. 2 bilions and more profit from thr Brooklyn sale and the worth of all the property they still have.

  The people inside are just like dust. Think about earlyer generation JW's. There is no talk about them.

  Gorby enjoys the freedom of not preparing meeting parts, no more fieldservice and no more downplaying anymore.

  Just proud of who I am and my family and kids.

  Sometimes a lotto.

  And taking my own route.

  2017 Convention Recording: JWs Applaud 10yo Girl For Shunning Her Own Sister

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this poor girl was baptized at 9yo.

  .

  she isnt old enough to buy alcohol, to vote, to decide her own medical treatment, to buy a pet, to travel alone... yet she was deemed old enough to dedicate her life to a religion that will cut her off from her family if she ever leaves.. here she is applauded for shunning her own sister who tried to keep in contact with her after waking up.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yzgnfda8ki.

  Instructions to remove old WT information from kh libraries

  by Half banana in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a pimo friend (physically in mentally out) has just informed me that the cult has decided that they want to suppress all old jw org information by removing bound volumes etc from kh libraries.. in reality, all through their history they have claimed divine "new light" as a means of changing uncomfortable doctrines.

  this however would mean that new jws, or more likely these days young jws, will be prevented from seeing the old light which had been held up as divinely inspired truth in the past.. truth which would get you through big a and which if you didn't agree with would get you disfellowshipped.. anyone else heard of this?

  what might be the reasons (if true) for removing the old wts?.

  I rescued some old publications my grand mother donated to the hall some 10 years ago. Some uber CBE told from the platform that old publications had to be trown away. I did not hesistate, walked to the library and took all the former family publications.

  Did not make a secret of it, but told loud thay soms steps has to be taken to save history from vandals.

  Paranoid why the coordinator's wife is soft shunning me

  by Isambard Crater in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for the past six months the coordinator's wife has definitely been avoiding me, turning her back or walking away when i walk in her direction, giving me a stare at other times.

  if i try to make casual conversation with her, she literally walks away or just looks through me until someone else comes to talk to her.. i can only think of one reason, which is that she may have seen me give a car ride to a disfellowshipped person months ago.

  i mean, it would be totally random if she happened to spot me on this one short journey, but it's possible.

  Ignore her...

  Just like I do with 99 percent of the local congo.

  No need to be friends with all.

  Be selective just like her.
