Attention Born in Lurkers

do you feel that something has changed within god's organization?

have you noticed that in the past several years there has been a more authoritarian spirit displayed in the publications and from the platform?

i am in the beginning stages of a fade away and wanted to express my thoughts.

Have you noticed that the Watchtower is not emphasizing how close the end is as much?

by stuckinamovement in

maybe i am off base, but it seems that the last year or so hasn't had the standard retoric about how "imminent, close, or soon" the end will be.

it seems as if the focus is now on obeying the governing body.

have you noticed this?.

Thanks Wannabefree,

I stand corrected. It must be my lack of faith that has caused me to ignore these warnings and timely reminders.

autologous blood transfusion jehovahs witnesses.

today i uploaded a new article to my blog addressing watchtowers doctrinal position on transfusion of whole autologous blood.

what was once forbidden is no longer forbidden.

Marvin you are the man! This is exactly why no one can understand the blood doctrine .....because it makes no sense!

Thanks for all of your work.

Today's Watchtower Study is SO dumb!!!

by TimothyT in

i would like to think of myself as an academic.

im starting my second degree and i enjoy research.

when i see a statement backed up by references and support from a credible source, sometimes i get excited.

National Anthem

i was reading an article about some guy who refused to stand for the national anthem on 911 at the jets cowboy game.

here is the question..... why can witness kids stand respectfully for the flag salute, but not the national anthem?

direction is given that for the national anthem you must remain seated unless you are already standing.

I apologize but I should know this as a former elder, I just never understood the reasoning behind it.

JW's Thoughts on Medical Cannabis

by bushido8000 in

i've wondered this for sometime.

to all of the jws on the forum, what is your opinion on medical cannabis?

i support it for a couple of reasons.. 1. i've battled clinical depression since age 9. after my anti-depressants stopped working when i was 21, i heard about cannabis' positive effects on depression through the internet and a couple of documentaries so i tried it.

I don't think logic has anything to do with it.

I remember talking to a brother at the legal dept about this. The bottom line is even though medical marijuana is legal in many States the fact that it is still illegal under federal law prohibits a "true christian" from using it. The brother or sister would not be able to be used in any priveleged capacity.

Is there anyway to get a consistent high level leak....????

by Momma-Tossed-Me in

jw
friends

i often wonder if anyone has a good consistent leak from the top level of the wtbts.

if not how can we get one, one with high level clearance.

they can't want much, probably just another $110 per month or whatever they are getting now, times are tough.. nothing would shake the borg more than consistent correct information coming out early via the internet.. nothing is sacred, all is revealed through a well hidden leak.. mtm.

stuckinamovement

Not for any amount of time. After a while they all realize their life is devoted to selling a lie and bail.

My Father passed away during the night

by jwfacts in

dad was a great man, great, despite the religion.

he was powerful, tall and intelligent, yet humble and kind.

he was an introvert, and a circuit overseer.

Hang in there Paul. Please accept my condolences.
