"Apostates" Who Return To Their Own Vomit

once you realize ttatt, how can anyone with half a brain, go back??.

.

oppostate

Some may be driven to go back just to get away from minimus' comments!

Well, on my behalf I'd say that I've been invited to an apostasy judicial committee and threatened legal action.

Haven't heard back from the "elduhs" since.

Haven't been to a meeting in a month although I promised my wife I'd take her to the Special Day and so I will.

JWN/JWD discussions aren't 100% endearingly welcoming of people who are struggling with the cult we know and hate.

There's a lot of hate-class folks and "grow a pair" types on here who would quickly tell you it ain't right to stay in a cult when you know "Da Troof!"

But da troof is that each person has to live their own lives.

For me, my wife's happiness is more important than telling the elders where to stick their mis-applied scripture references.

why using a tablet at the platform during the meeting?

i can't understand why the governing body aka fds has to deside about using a tablet by the speaker at the platform.. why using a tablet anyway at the platform?.

just a toy to keep the youth inside the congregation.. gorby.

thanks to my tablet I can read CoC and ISoCF and other titles on PDF during the meeting and also have the song book, NWTR2013, latest rags and study books. Very handy!

No more by us!

by Atlantis in

no more boes or kingdom ministries will be posted by us on this board.

there is a very important reason why!

beware of anyone encouraging you to post any boes on this board.

Sooooo, Atlantis, can you send out stuff privately on some covert email-list instead?

New Understanding of this Generation

by pronomono in

another tidbit of information about this generation from the 1/15/2014 study edition under "let your kingdom come - but when?".

they've changed it again.. this generation will not pass away14-16.

what is a third reason for believing that gods kingdom will come soon?.

So if Freddy died in 1992 then lets say a young anointed one of 18 years was alive, he would be 88 years old by 2070 and he would still be included in the the overlapping generations. That's almost 200 years since Russell and an American Civil War veteran would still be included in the overlap.

I suspect the WTS mut be feeling pretty good about their own internal security...

by sir82 in

...since it evidently was not confirmed in advance that the agm was going to be exclusively about releasing the rnwt.. i mean, we all kinda sorta expected it, but no one had a "smoking gun", as it were, officially confirming it.. in contrast, there was the leak, posted on this forum, of the july 15 2013 watchtower, a week or 2 before its official posting on jw.org.. .

i'm sure the rnwt was a well-guarded secret - on the other hand, there has been a rnwt translation committee in existence for 5+ years.

absolutely no one in the "apostate community" even hinted at this committee's existence.

I posted a picture from the 2012 District Convention with Guy Pierce holding one of the new bibles.

Made several posts about the look and content of the new grey bible that I'd had in my hands back a year ago and that it was going to be released and that's why there weren't NWTs available in KHs.

If folks here and on other forums don't want to believe these disclosures unless someone with more pull and reputation states them then that's their fault.

It's like that commercial where someone says something and gets ignored then someone else says the same thing and makes a chopping motion with his hand then everyone agrees that's the correct decision. When the previous guy objects he's told that well, he didn't make the chopping with his hand. Preposterous, yes, but sometimes it feels just like that on these xJW forums.

AGM - A bum witness???

by Jaidubdub in

so what the hell is a bum witness??

who came up with that one?.

oppostate

slimboyfat: "It takes arseholes like the GB to come up with "bum Witnesses" for sure."

Since they're the biggest of bums, bumming off and scamming the R&F while living in luxury, they certainly know a "bum" when they see one, especially on Wednesdays when they sit across from each other and stare at their faces.

So they badmouth their JW brothers and call out names because some are waking up to their chananigans. They're the real "bums" the real "mentally diseased".

New Revised NWT Inspection Project

by dontplaceliterature in

jw
friends

anyone here interested in splitting up the new bible by books to compare it to the old one and see if there are any significant changes they are hiding in there that weren't announced at the annual meeting today?

it'll be available for dl from jw.org on monday....

oppostate

If the download can be gotten in PDF or EPUB format then with a little reformating through Calibre or another ebook editor app you can get a plain text to compare digitally for both editions. A good text editor would give you the ability to make a side by side comparison of changes between texts for each verse.

Taking in knowledge question-new light, new study?

by carla in

i am just wondering, say a jw just had a study this past week and the non jw (study) questioned the jw teaching of 'taking in knowledge' and naturally the jw gave the jw view of it in length (last weeks 'light').

now, they have their handy dandy new nwt that changes that entirely.

let's say the study came from a traditional christian backround that always had it as 'knowing' (as in a personal relationship) and struggled with the jw view but decided, ok, whatever, i'll go along for now... so next week is another study, how does the jw handle that?

oppostate

The JW R&F usual response would be to way "Isn't it wonderful that the organization is always willing to update its understanding?"

I don't think it would present a problem for any true mind loyal JWs. However, I do think that for some it may be a turning point to start opening their eyes to the lies and mind control of the WT organization.

Many thanks for all the work involved in dispensing this information

Congrats on being most faithful and discreet to the consternation of the GB ;-)
