What if....

what if the gb somehow finally did admit they were wrong about 607 and 1914- what percentage of publishers do you think would remain active?.

stuckinamovement

This years convention highlighted 1914 in several talks. They are going to hold on to it. To answer your question I think 20% would leave.

that 99.9% of the worlds population is evil and will soon be destroyed by jehovah.

the governing body made up of 7 senior men in brooklyn new york are the divinely appointed spokesmen for god on earth today.. if you dont obey the governing bodys instructions and doctrines, you will die a violent death at armageddon.. that jesus is the mediator between god and man for only 11,000 people on earth today and some 133,000 others already in heaven.

the rest of mankind has to follow those 11,000 represented by the governing body to receive the benefits of the ransom.. christ invisibly returned to rule the earth in 1914 and satan was thrown to the earth at the same time.

That 99.9% of the world’s population is evil and will soon be destroyed by Jehovah

The Governing Body made up of 7 senior men in Brooklyn New York are the divinely appointed spokesmen for God on earth today.

If you don’t obey the Governing Body’s instructions and doctrines, you will die a violent death at Armageddon.

That Jesus is the mediator between God and Man for only 11,000 people on earth today and some 133,000 others already in heaven. The rest of mankind has to follow those 11,000 represented by the Governing Body to receive the benefits of the ransom.

Christ “invisibly” returned to rule the earth in 1914 and Satan was thrown to the earth at the same time. The proof of this invisible presence is that world conditions are deteriorating quickly.

If you want a chance of surviving Armageddon you must listen carefully and appreciatively as the 8 year old girl calling at your door on Saturday morning presents you with a magazine article on Cahokia Mounds. She is sent by Jehovah to reclaim you. Pay attention and live!

Everyone who is not a strong active Jehovah’s Witness is bad association and should be avoided this includes family who are not believers.

That to show respect for human life, God has forbidden the use of blood to save a persons life. However, God is fine with the use of blood fractions that add up to 99% of blood.

The prophet Elijah foreshadowed the work accomplished by JF Rutherford’s administration

The prophet Elisha foreshadowed the work accomplished by NH Knorr’s administration

The seven trumpet blasts in the book of Revelations were fulfilled by a series of 7 conventions of Bible Students in the 1920’s

That the vision of a statue recorded by Daniel some 2600 years ago, points to our time period specifically as the time of the end.

All Dinosaurs including T-Rex were vegetarians.

The Global Flood in Noah’s time is a fact despite scientific evidence otherwise

It is a waste of time and money to gain a higher education.

God would rather have us deliver religous magazines to starving, homeless, sick people, than to spend the same money, time, and effort in helping the sick, hungry, and homeless.

The only way to make God happy is to volunteer as much time and money as you can spare to contribute to the Watchtower Corporations efforts.

WTBTS Approves of Admitted Pedophiles Serving as Elders!

by 00DAD in

jw
friends

apparently it's now ok for known child abusers to be recommended as elders as long as the "sin" was years in the past: .

"for example, the sin may involve past child abuse, and this would likely disqualify him for years.

" - shepherd the flock of god, p. 38 (2010).

stuckinamovement

What is interesting is the questions asked of men who are newly appointed as elders in comparison with men who are reappointed. It amounts to a don't ask don't tell policy.

I am paraphrasing:

Question to ask a man reccomended as an elder if he has never served before.

Have you ever been involved in child sexual abuse in your past? Is there anything that would disqualify you from accepting this assignment?

If you are being reappointed as an elder the instruction from the branch is not to ask those two questions. I wonder why?

open letter to the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.. source : http://www.testimoni-di-geova.info/spip.php?article129.

dear brothers,.

i served for 27 years as an elder in the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses.

Bangalore,

No that is not my site but I did write the letter this last Winter and posted it here on JWN. It has been sent to Brooklyn several times since. The letter has been used in an email campaign and has been published on several websites. I am happy to see it making the rounds.

I wanted to clearly express the reasons for resigning as an elder in an open forum. I hope that it resonated with others in the same position.

I want to note that I only served as an Elder for 7 years in contrast with the 27 years stated. I am glad to see this is circulating still.

November 15 WT on jw.org

by Gayle in

ugh,,.

had article of disabled woman,,she had offer of marriage by a fellow disabled man, considered ,but not a jw so will wait till new world when can leap and run and be sound of health.

poor dear.. another article about "temporary residents" to subsist and work for suffiencies as "the days are numbered" and then can have a beautiful house.

Pretty crazy article on Jehu. He slaughtered apostates and in a similar manner Christian Elders may have to take dramatic and courageous action to protect the congregation.

This is stupid.

How did you tell your mate that .....

by stuckinamovement in

jw
friends

you no longer believed that the watchtower organization was the truth, and that you were no longer going to go to the meetings or service?.

and a followup question... what was the response?.

stuckinamovement

Thank you for your helpful comments. In response to Smiddy, I have read Don Camerons Book and it is phenomenal. However my wife is not yet at the point of reading anything "apostate" I have had to relay things to her, which actually has seemed to work well since she has trust and respect for me.

We are close to jumping. I think it will only take one more changed teaching or scandal to give her the confidence that leaving is the best decision. Over the past two years I have expressed doubts and concerns about the organization. It has been a progression I guess. This has been the progression of events.

As an elder dealt with a molestation case and spoke with Brooklyn legal- realized they were out to protect the corporation.

Saw a history program on the Kings of Babylon realized that 607 was bunk

Read Finished mystery realized Russel was nuts

told my wife my concerns and doubts- She was shaken but kept my doubts between us

Recieved my new flock book realized it is just a management manual- shared it with my wife, she saw the same.

went to KM school -decided that I couldn't support a hypocritical organization

Discussed internal turmoil with my Wife and stepped down as an Elder under pretense with her support

Began to fade, Stopped service

Harold Campings fiasco was a striking parrallel to the Witnesses predictions. We both saw the similarities

Looked at the fact that the GB was demanding worship

Began to discuss what we would do if DFed

Started to miss meetings together

...........

We are on the way out together. It is funny because in a mathematical way I have added all of the false teachings and corrupt policies up and come to the realization that it is all a lie. She has taken a more emotional, feelings oriented approach and knows it is wrong but is waiting for some sign or feeling that tells her to jump ship.

Thanks again for your thoughts.
