Jason Cobb's posts documents on Internet

be sure to read timelines 1 & 2 which include some interesting documents.

jason doesn't seem to realize that the course he has chosen has placed him completely at odds with the wts.

as much as he hates to admit it, he has become the thing he despises most...an apostate.

Fernando

Jason will in time realise that what Jesus said really is true: by their fruits you will get to know they are not who they claim to be.

i was listening to a conversation of jws recently about how trusting they are with each other and how out in "the world" you have to be ever so careful that you don't put down your purse or wallet for a minute otherwise it will be stolen.. i entered the conversation with an experience that one of my close friends had.

(true story) he was in a public place with a wallet with significant amount of cash and bank card, credit card, id, etc.. somehow he lost or misplaced the wallet, panicked of course.

he went to the police, cancelled all his cards and thought it was gone for sure.

No one has treated me and my family worse than several JWs in "good standing".

The most evil people I've ever met are in "the organisation".

Details?

Unmentionable.

Except maybe as a shortened list:

fraud, incestuous rape, slander...

Probably a good idea to download the original videos, while they're still available, just in case you need them one day.

Maybe show the video to the next JW who comes knocking and ask for an ASL transcript, plus an explanation.

JWs no longer taking the Governing Body seriously.

the recent letter being us to come to detroit shows that jws are beginning not to take the gb seriously anymore.

the buzz following the meeting was that the letter was unprecedented in its tone.

this coming from long time jws of 30 years plus.

Fernando

(2 Timothy 3:9) . . .Nevertheless, [the GB] will make no further progress, for their madness will be very plain to all. . .

Could someone please write the GB advising them of their followers' apathy and indifference toward them.

GB, ramp it up already...

my heart is heavy as i write this letter.

i have been trying to live my life as best that i can since leaving jehovah's witnesses.

my dad was not a witness and was my rock when i left the religion.

Fernando

The Searcher's advice seems spot on to me...

i remember reading a thread when my exit was starting, about inspirational songs.

someone posted a link to the "shins" for a fool.

this was a surprising help to me.

Jehovahs Witnesses make a big deal about following first century christianity, so please explain this.

by smiddy in

where in the christian greek scriptures do disciples of christ record how many hours a month they preached.. " " " " 10 hours for women and children and slack husbands with no ambition.

" " " " do they record how many back calls / return visits they made in a month.. " " " " have they set down how many bible studys they had in a month.. " " " " do they have pioneers ,special pioneers , aux.pioneers , with goals to reach each month.. " " " " do they have d.o.

, c.o., zone servants , etc.etc.. " " " " where in the christian greek scriptures is the word " organisation" applied to christianity.

Fernando

There is simply no way the WBTS can afford to follow first century Christianity.

They and their organisation (VISIBLE golden calf) would be revealed as irrelevant at best and evil/apostate at worst.

The WBTS carefully keeps its followers from learning about the Good News according to Paul, Moses, Isaiah and Psalms.

This is quite an impressively evil feat since more than half their own Bible's 152-odd references to "good news" are by Paul.

Not willing to cooperate

by happy@last in

just thought i would let you know there appears to still be no change when it comes to assisting the police here in the uk.

i am in the process of pressing charges against my abuser who was and is again a jw.

during my interviews with the police i did not mention jws as it was not relevant to the case, however during one if his interviews he stated that he had been 'punished' by the jws by being disfellowshipped, and now he was a jw again he had 'paid his dues'!.

Fernando

He may have paid his dues to the "ruling religious clergy class", but now he can pay his dues to the victim, society and Caesar.

Best wishes.

What are your thoughts about going the Candace Conti route?

What was the "logical straw" that broke your camel's back?

friends

i had a bunch of tiny little nags that always bothered me about the bible/god/etc.

that eventually led to me drifting away, but this was my personal, singular issue that no one could address.

i think i mentioned it before here, but, for summation again:.

Fernando

Rejection of "imputed righteousness" by the "ruling religious clergy class" (aka "elders", CO, DO, ZO, GB).
