What apostates fail to recognize is...
by nananana inyou can cut & paste all the excerpts from articles you want...you can leak all the boe letters, you can pretend to be witnesses and come to the conventions and meetings...but.
no other organization can begin to rival the success and magnitude of the prophecy found in mt 24:14. so apostates....don't waste your time spending countless hours digging up articles and reading books to convince yourself to turn away from jh's organization.
no matter what "evidence" you find you cannot ignore the obvious fulfillment of matthew 24:14.. .

If you want a biblical prophecy clearly pointing to the Watchtower organization, read Matthew 24:23-25
If anyone says to you then, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!' or, ‘There he is!' do not believe it. False messiahs and false prophets will arise, and they will perform signs and wonders so great as to deceive, if that were possible, even the elect. Behold, I have told it to you beforehand.

My son was murdered today
by truman ini have been on this site daily, almost from its beginning, since i left the jws in 2001, but i have been more of a reader than a poster, as you can see from my post count.
i know few here know me, although i know many of you through reading your posts.
maybe it is not right to ask for support, when i generally stay quietly in the background of this forum, but i want only to speak a human misery of the deepest kind.

I am sorry for your loss. No parent should have to endure losing their child to an act of evil.

... does the Watchtower provide for orphans and widows?
... does the Watchtower provide food and clothing to orphans and widows?
... does the Watchtower have a charity for orphans and widows?
(NOLAW)
Does [Jewish] any[Catholic] church[Lutheran] do[Islamic] so[Mormon]?
The Watchtower Society is an exception, a rare religion that does not have an active humanitarian program. You don't have to agree on doctrine to agree on human decency!

The Father abandons his Son
by XPeterX inabout 2000 years ago,a dying man was hunging from a cross for hours.at some point he looked at the sky and cried out "father,father why have you forsaken me?
".but no one saved him,no one cared.minutes after that he died a horrible death.. my question is: if jehovah abandoned christ like this,what can be said about the rest of his followers?those who put their trust in his teachings?won't he forsake them too like he did with his only son?.

What Glenster said. The end of the Psalm is:
"future generations will be told about the Lord, and proclaim his deliverance to a people yet unborn, saying that he has done it."

Do the Jehovah Witnesses break up families?
by trailerfitter inthe answer is yes in my case.
for some of you wonderful people on here will remember i asked a few questions and was concerned about my wife becoming a jehovahs witness,...well, she is baptised now and fully fleged (committed).. i have been called possessed by satan , mentally ill, a schitzophrenic and was beaten emotionally and mentally.
eventually i had to leave our house after 2 years of this situation getting worse.

Sorry to hear of another going through the nightmare of a JW/"worldly" marital breakdown. Don't second-guess yourself that it might have turned out better if you had held your tongue and not discussed WT doctrine. That doesn't work either (i.e., it didn't for me). If you haven't read The Eclectic Marriage (at Freeminds.org), please do--at least some of the scenarios it describes will be familiar to you.
Please take care of yourself and the children as best you can. (I would wager that one reason for the break-up was your "worldly influence" on them, not forcing them to go to the Hall and out in "service" every weekend.)

My Daughters House Burned Down
by Babyruth inmy daughters house burned down and her and her husband and three children got out with just the jammies on their back.
when her husband called his parents ( dad is elder and both parents are regular pioneers) the next morning, they told him they were sorry that they were unable to come and help as 'big wig' brother, head of the branch had just died and they were going to be with his grieving wife and son!?!
it's been a week now and they are still a no-show as they are too busy with their bible studies and service to even see their son and three grandchildren.
