  Hello everyone

  by Lancashirelass in

  2. friends

  i just wanted to add my name to the many number of people who have awakened from the cult.

  i have been lurking for probably 2 years now.

  and i'm quite certain there are many more lurking and reading just like me.. i have to be honest and say that i most likely will not be contributing much to the discussion board.

  message from designer stubble to the former jwr members.

  first of all i am glad to see that many of you have found your way to this great forum, facilitated by simon.

  i am sure that after the dust of the jwr shutdown has settled, you will find this to be a good new home.. i would like to apologize for the sudden closure of jwr.

  i watch the watchtower leaders crumble, slowly crumble.

  JW's attempt to sabotage a funeral was foiled (for now)

  by TastingFreedom in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had to share this sad experience... even if it's not in my top priority list.. my older brother from my mom's first marriage unfortunately passed away last night.

  he had been struggling with health issues, the last few years.

  this is a very sad time in the family as you can imagine, specially because my mother lost her youngest son just five years ago.

  80% Accept Blood Transfusion

  by Marvin Shilmer in

  2. friends

  80% accept blood transfusion.

  i added a new article on my blog citing a 1995 medical study finding something interesting about blood transfusion and young folks among jehovahs witnesses.

  the study shows that at least 80% (5 out of 6) accept allogeneic red blood cell transfusions or else their witness parents accept it on their behalf and without need of court-order.

  Increase in demon activity?

  by Igot2bme in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i first started studying i was told that i would notice that the demons would try to stop me from recieving accurate bible knowledge.

  well i never really witnessed anything unusual like objects flying through the air, bleeding walls, increased nightmares or something of that nature.

  almost all the people that i know who have become baptized have a story or two about this having happened to them.

  Are you a spiritual? - What is the definition?

  by TastingFreedom in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as a jw, the definition of spirituality is very limited and narrow minded.

  but i have realized that i'm a spiritual person even as an agnostic.

  watchtower's use of the word is completely wrong, and only used to benefit their own agenda.

  Did having a Bethelite travel to your congregation and deliver a talk motivate, encourage, or excite you?

  by miseryloveselders in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i ask this, because i just got wind that at my hall, we're paying the travel expenses for a bethelite to come and do our memorial talk.

  i don't know how much this is going to run us, but i fail to see the practicality of it.

  he's not delivering a special memorial outline or anything.

  Feb. 15th WT - WT Society says DFed Ones are Lawless- Just Like Demons

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i would assume that some or a good number of us here as normal humans in this society - consider " lawless " actions to include murder , robbery, extortion, rape, child abuse, war , terrorism, etc.

  the wt society has their own definition of what's considered " lawless ".

  anything that's considered a disfellowshipping offense in the jehovah's witnesses is now considered " lawless ".
