this is taken from the new world translation but it is worded very closely the same in american standard, king james version and a couple other translations.

why do they refer to the "evil he had spoken of doing to his people"?

Jehovah says, "Oh dear, I'm sorry I hit you. Seriously dear, I won't ever do it again. But you make me so mad! Why dear, do you make me so mad??!! When I get home I tell you I want dinner on the table. Everyday it's the same thing, dinner is late. And I tell you no more ice berg lettuce, yet here, here is some ice berg lettuce. Here, let me shove it in your face and see how you like ice berg in the face! And speaking of ice bergs, having sex with you is like having sex with an ice berg. Can't you ever get on top just once? It makes me want to back hand you right in the face! I swear, don't tempt me dear, I will, I will wallop you. You see this fist? You think I won't do it? You thingk I wony punch you in the face? I'll kick you right in the crotch and if you say anything to anybody, I'll chop you up into little pieces and bury under your child's swing set!! You think I won't do it? Yeah? Just test me, just test me on this one time. AAAaahhhhhhh!"

jw
friends

we hooked up with a family member who is married and in bethel 15+ years.

it's almost too exhausting to go into the details here so i'll condense everything into a few main areas that were talked about over a few days.. bottom line, my wife and i finally let them know that we are not jw's anymore and so far it looks like they aren't going to shun us.

we had a really nice time with them and their witness friends who assumed we were jw's too and couldn't have been nicer.. our bethelite family members had no idea what we had been through at the hands of he elders that was the final shove out of the organization and were in agreement that things were handled badly.

They sound pretty chill about the whole thing. You are lucky to have JW friends that take it all so casually.

the cult is slowly taking my family apart

by Evidently Apostate in

its been 3 years since i made my decision to fade and i am starting to think our marriage might not survive.

my wife is under pressure from her parents to push away from me.

the anniversay card they gave her(not me) was nothing more than jw propaganda, parts were actually highlighted.

Heartbreaking.

by zengalileo in

at this blood drive, ajwrb will be there announcing the end of the jehovah's witness ban on blood.

it's time to stop playing the semantic game with jws and the watchtower.

they haven't been abstaining from blood for decades.

At this blood drive, AJWRB will be there announcing the end of the Jehovah's Witness ban on blood. It's time to stop playing the semantic game with JWs and the Watchtower. They haven't been abstaining from blood for decades. It's time. JWs accept blood transfusions. That is a fact. Only a small group of extremist orthodox JWs still reject blood. Case after case is being reported of JWs taking blood. I have received several phone calls and emails from JWs who have simply told me that they accepted blood. I have anecdotal evidence of every single blood fraction being accepted except for the skin of the red blood cell for some reason. So, one could say that they abstain from the skin of the red blood cell, but that is the ONLY blood fraction I don't have a reported instance of JWs accepting openly. We're just not going to play along with JWs who make the ridiculous claim that they abstain from blood anymore, and we are going to tell the world.

Also, we would love if any So Cal ex JWs would like to donate blood on the 27th. First timers will be especially appreciated and welcomed. PM me for details like time and address.

Does the Watchtower Society have the "Biggest Lie" ever published?

by Terry in

.

the truth that leads to eternal life.

the truth that leads to eternal life was a bible study textbook published in 1968 and revised in 1981 (now out of print).. the 1990 edition of the guinness book of records included this book under its heading "highest printings".. according to the guinness book, by may 1987 it had reached 106,486,735 copies, in 116 languages.. .

zengalileo

I believe that the 1914 lie, (that JWs predicted the end of the Gentile times or that they predicted anything at all that came true is probably the most repeated lie, just coming at it from a histoprical perspective. That lie is in almost everything they ever printed from the 1930s on. Every JW has repeated it millions of times.

When I was at Bethel, at a circuit assmebly the circuit overseer announced to the audience that a 4 year old girl was baptised at that assembly. It was around 1994 or so. I can't remember the CO but he was black and always said "aks," instead of ask. It was at the assembly hall in , can't remember the city, but i think it's, oh just remembered, the Monroe assembly Hall in Westchester county, or Rockland county. Anyway, you can update your thing if you can take my word for it.
