Mounded From Clay
by konceptual99 injust sitting through this week's wt study and just spent 5 minutes listening to multiple answers where people are convinced that jehovah made humans from clay, literally forming adam like a sculpture then breathing life into him.. it's embarrassing to think i basically thought the same....

New EXJW stories
by Diogenesister inhi everyone, a really nice regular contributor to our ex jw reddit community has begun a website to support those leaving or thinking of leaving jw.org called https://leavingjw.org it's main content is exit stories ( which we all love!
it's a worthy cause so if you feel so inclined do contribute your stories - you can still be physically " in" - and there is also a questionnaire style story if you don't have time/feel inclined to write the whole thing out.. like simon these guys set up exjw websites in their own time and using their own money for our communities benefit.

Hi everyone, a really nice regular contributor to our ex JW reddit community has begun a website to support those leaving or thinking of leaving JW.org called https://leavingjw.org It's main content is exit stories ( which we all love!) but he's only got 8 so far. It's a worthy cause so if you feel so inclined do contribute your stories - you can still be physically " in" - and there is also a questionnaire style story if you don't have time/feel inclined to write the whole thing out.
like Simon these guys set up EXJW websites in their own time and using their own money for our communities benefit. We recently lost one recovery website so do let's support this new one. Check it out !!
edit: you can do it anonymously of course!

JW and the Sabbath
by Andromeda inhello brothers and sisters and truth seekers,.
i am an active jehovah's witness.
i don't believe in 1914 and i'm tototally against their way of dealing with abuse cases.

IHi Andromeda, ( interesting name, considering the ancients, including the Jews, were and still are very obsessed with the movements of the heavenly bodies). I think if you feel that the sabbath should be kept, and it makes you feel better to observe it, do. It is [i] your[/i] life and no one has the right to control your beliefs, actions and thoughts. I personally believe Jesus' message around the sabbath, as around everything, is that love comes first. Want to observe the sabbath? Fine... But if your sick friend requires you to help her with chores.., go ahead, love is the priority.
I believe you would benefit from a book by an author called Steve Hassan called Combatting Cult Mind Control. You've nothing to loose by reading it and everything to gain. It is not against religion by the way.
please take care, there are many splinter groups that left the WT despite what they say, they themselves being an offshoot of Adventist and Millerism etc. you may find you have more in comman with them.All their predictions have not come true, Jeruselem didn't fall in 607BC therefore the GB do not have the Holy Spirit more or less than anyone else. Do keep researching.

Subtle Differences in congregations
by SouthCentral ini grew up in a very zealous congregation.
we had almost 40 pioneers with only 100 publishers.
the congregation was 100% black americans (i don't say african-american).

Grew up in the UK, quite a mixed cong. Gotta say, tho I'm white, the witnesses were a shining example of brotherly love and non racism compared to the rest of society. Many happy mixed marriages, tho very, very comman now where I live in Brixton (😍coolest place ever) wasn't so common in the 70s and 80s when there was more racism. Have to say racism amoung the people is not tolerated now, tho it exists in institutions in particular and out in the country or among the poor and ignorant.

Latest UPDATE UK Charity Commission investigation
by Watchtower-Free ingood afternoon,.
i am writing to give you a quick update about our ongoing statutory inquiries into safeguarding and charities linked to jehovah’s witnesses.. as you may know, one of our inquiries is into watch tower bible and tract society of britain.
we opened this inquiry in 2014. watch tower then initiated what turned out to be protracted litigation against us.

Fist pump to the Charity commission, excellent. Glad the Supreme court has told them nooooooooo, kinda new they would as I doubted they could come up with a legitimate argument as to why the previous courts had mis- applied the legislation.
Wonder if they will attempt the ECHR?
Edit: we are still members and will be until the pm hits article 50 which they won't do for a couple more years.

God she's half his age....so he jettisoned a highly made up, eastern European gold digga for one exactly the same but half her age. Clearly a man of imagination and principal.
Edit: shouldn't it be my parents taught me to get a boob job, look for the richest man I can find and give him lots of b*** jobs and laugh at all his crappy jokes.

Animals not meant to eat meat
by Carl injw don't believe in evolution .
how come animals teeth are designed to chew meat?
sharks for instance have razor sharp pointy teeth these are not to eat vegetation .

Diogenesister
Hey Carl, good to meet you. Didn't know about the Lions in London Zoo in WW2 , that's interesting.
There are fossils with undigested animal parts inside the stomach. Not to mention fossilized predators with the teeth and claws of meet eaters. Fossils take millions of years to form, therefore we know predation has been taking place for millions of years.
Check out JWfacts.com for some interesting facts on JW's ideas, are you familiar with it?

Possible Military Coup in Turkey!
by cofty inif this does turn out to be the case it could have very serious implications.... turkey hovers between western freedom and democracy and an islamic hell.
europe has been bending over backwards to keep turkey on-side and promising it fast-tracked entry to the eu in return for it's cooperation in controlling mass migration from the east.. the situation is unclear at the moment but there are tanks on the streets....
