JW Literature... Lots of it... what to burn and what to keep?

by ILoveTTATT in

jw
friends

i have lots and lots of watchtower literature... and i don't know what could be useful in the future to have as a reference or as a keeper.

i am definitely keeping the 1993 and 1994 bound volumes of the awake!

(no, we are not false prophets... down in the same page, the generation of 1914 will not pass... also the youths who put god the watchtower first).

Fernando

Some you may want to keep, if you have them:

Enemies, 1937 (ALL religion is a snare and a racket)

Religion, 1940 (ALL religion is a snare and a racket)

Aid to Bible Understanding (Ray Franz)

Would You Become A JW Again If Local Congregations Could Become Independent?

by Space Madness in

for those who still believe in god, if local congregations could break away from the watchtower would you consider becoming a witness again.

this would mean no more governing body, circuit overseers, watchtower magazines, and each congregation could have its own "new light".

most of us left because of the control (no college, disfellowsipping) but if the watchtower was out of the picture, all of this would disappear.

Fernando

Since their congregations, traditions and doctrines are all manmade, no.

...The WBT$ Theft of Kingdom Hall Bank Accounts and JW Elders...

by OUTLAW in

.. the new wbt$ donation arrangement/ jw kingdom hall bank account theft... is a very hot topic right now... the wbt$ is literally going to clean out kingdom hall bank accounts,filled with donations from jws... that theft is going to happen world wide..the wbt$ is going to steal from 7 million plus jw`s... .. we have jw elders here on jwn,that know whats going on... they "serve" in kingdom halls,they are "supposed" to be looking after the welfare of the average jw... they know there is a 4 page letter,only one page will be read to the congregation..the rest will be kept secret... they know the wbt$ is about to steal jw donations..on a world wide scale!!!...

.. i would like to know what you active jw elders are going to do about this??!!...

are you going to let "your" congregation know about the other 3 secret pages?...

Fernando

Donations drying up.

Maybe because of gnawing doubts?

The solution?

Apply more pressure.

Help those doubts crystallise.

How novel.

Bring it on big time.

Go GB, go.

Convicted paedophile allowed to grill his victims at Jehovah's Witness meeting

oh my goodness, i'm so angry i can't even speak!

"women who complained that former jehovahs witness elder jonathan rose, 40, had molested them as children relived their nightmares in front of him after he was released from jail".

How much more evidence do we need of the Watchtower's godlessness and evil heart?

(Ephesians 2:2) . . .the spirit that now operates in the sons of disobedience (those who disobey "the truth of the Good News", accumulate followers, take them captive, starve them spiritually, and abuse them spiritually).

Scared I'll Never be Happy Again

by Stumbeline in

so it's' been 8 months since i was disfellowshiped.

i moved out of my mothers house accross the country to room with a friend.

things have been going ok, it's just strange to be so far away from everything that felt familiar, even the meetings.

Fernando

Welcome Stumbeline

In my experience part of the stage you are going through sounds like "identity crisis".

It is perfectly natural given where we have come from (a deceptive and high control environment).

What about finding a good Psychologist who will not pressure you into taking psychoactive, synthetic, addictive and iatrogenic medicine?

Once you clarify who you are and what you believe, some big hurdles to happiness will have melted away.

If you choose a Spiritual But Not Religious path, I would highly recommend the unabridged gospel according to Paul (especially in Romans and Galatians) as summarised in the 5 solas (of the reformation).

Best wishes on the journey.

New to The Jehovahs Witness Faith and need some help

by jnjburkett in

jw
friends

hello there i am new to the faith and have been studying for about a month.

i am very excited and hungry for the truth and have not missed a meeting or study since the memorial.

we do about 2 bible studies a week.

Fernando

Welcome jnjburkett.

Nothing feeds and nourishes our faith and spirituality like "the truth of the Good News".

It can be found in the Watchtower library but not in the hearts nor on the lips of the followers of the Watchtower.

This is not an accident.

Religion is designed to carefully keep us from the full Good News, especially according to Paul (particularly as described in Romans and Galatians).

I would recommend that you research the 5 solas (of the reformation) and summarise them in a single sentence, and keep checking carefully if you are being led in another (dangerous) direction (instead).
