i'm proud to say i'm an apsostate.. .

anyone else up front about it?.

Fernando

I am proud of having taken a stand against the VISIBLE golden calf (GB), which is an unfaithful spiritual harlot/prostitute (apostate).

My more than forty years of apostasy came to an end mid-2009 when I left "mother" who is one of the many daughters of the great harlot known in scripture as Babylon the Great.

Let's make a list of the families ruined by the Watchtower

by Faithful Witness in

the jehovah's witnesses came to our door, claiming to hold the secrets of family happiness.

they told me they had the "one true religion," and had come to save my life.

i was a bible student for quite awhile, along with my husband.

Every person and family is negatively affected in many ways, some of which we are not yet able to fully understand or imagine.

In our family's case the list of woes is just too hard for most people to read, let alone experience.

Stand For Pure Worship, what convinces you that the governing body is being used by Jehovah? Thanks.

by The Quiet One in

i struggled with this question before i got baptised.

what helped you to overcome any doubts?.

Fernando

Thanks, yes I missed it, SFPW.

However only three of the four questions were answered.

Would you have a go at question number 3 too, and possibly also offer proof?

What Was Your First Experience In Exposing Yourself To "Apostasy"?

by minimus in

as a young teenager, i would look at "apostate" books at the city library.

i was always intrigued as to what was sooo bad and other than a few writings of some that seemed like they hated the witnesses, i would clandestinely look at literature, especially in "christian" bookstores.. it took years for me to finally disconnect.

i will say that ray franz' books enlightened me the most!.

My first experience with apostasy was more than 40 years ago when I was born into an apostate, supremacist, doomsday religious cult - one of the many daughters of the one known in scripture as "the mother of the harlots" (apostates) namely Babylon the Great.

My last experience with apostasy (harlotry) was when I walked out mid-2009.

Heavenly Gates Closed in 1935 Re-opened in 2007

by Alfred in

since 1935, the watchtower had been categorically teaching (for over 6 decades) that the heavenly calling of the 144,000 anointed christians had ceased in 1935. this teaching was especially significant to older jws (especially those who spent much of their lives serving the watchtower as pioneers, elders, missionaries, bethelites, etc.

) because many of these would eventually turn their attention to the aging governing body members and feel a sense of relief knowing that the end was drawing ever so near.

in other words, as more governing body members (who were born before 1935) passed away, the closer they would get to their long-awaited reward of surviving armageddon and living on paradise earth where they would finally hug grass-eating lions near a waterfall while marveling at snow-peaked mountains in the distance.
