  It's the GB who are Apostate and they teach others how to be one.

  me: right now, i'm less than 48hrs away from a jc hearing in which i will likely be df'd for apostasy.. .

  tnb: do you feel the wtbts has any power or hold on you, if not why attend a jc.

  you don't have to attend, unless of course you have information you want to point out to them.

  SBC - Thanks for the reply. Hopefully it may cause your friends to question the WT and it's policy on DF people just because they hold a different view from what they teach.

  Shame about your dad grassing you up. Maybe one day he too will wake up and see the truth about the truth.....maybe. I really, really dislike the WT and what it does to people, don't let them destroy you.

  All the best for the JC, let us know how you get on. Hopefully when it's all over you can find some peace and really start to live your life.

  Right now, I'm less than 48hrs away from a JC hearing in which I will likely be DF'd for apostasy (aka, thinking independently).

  SBC - Do you feel the WTBTS has any power or hold on you, if not why attend a JC. You don't have to attend, unless of course you have information you want to point out to them.

  Whatever happens I hope you have the strength and courage to see you through.

  For those who were partakers

  what made you think you were supposed to drink the wine and eat the bread?

  if you left the org, did you still feel like you were going to heaven?.

  mama - I didn't partake when I was 'in' because I found out the WT was a lie and up and left (bit of a story attached to that) very quickly. Shortly after I realised that everyone should be able to partake freely. If we had stayed 'in' I would have partaken, but would have been DF'd for doing so. I take the bread and wine every day now and we shall get together on memorial night with friends and partake, but it will be at someones home and not at a K/hall. Good thread by the way

  Inkie - what an experience you had

  Loz just read your story again. (((((hugs)))))

  Petition against MadJW

  by brotherdan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'd like to submit a motion that we no longer respond to posts posted by madjw.

  he's using this forum to spam all of us into going to his wts defending website.

  he also claims to be a regular pioneer and gets the majority of his time by posting on this site.

  i text my little girls friends mum today as her daughter left some clothes (funnily enough, they were army pants and a t shirt, what ever happened to not supporting the army by not wearing calmoflage print etc!!!)..

  i told her i would put them in a bag and told her she could call in for them whenever she was passing... anyway i just had my reply, hi, just keep them, *** will be out of them by next year anyway, so *** may as well just have them.

  hope your all ok...x. so i take it thats her in basic words sayin... keep them cus i dont want to see you again and your apostate influence... i knew people would take this approach to our decision to not continue going to the meetings but i just am really struggling to deal with it without feeling like i have a disease that they do not want to catch :(.

  It is a hard fact that you will be shunned and even though you think you are prepared for it, it still comes as a bitter shock.

  My friend (and her husband) of 27 years didn't bother to let me know she had been rushed into hospital. I found out from my Son-I-L who is friends with her Son-I-L. When I txt her and asked if she was better, all she was concerned with was how I knew she had been ill :( Seems like it was a big secret, but only from me.

  Yeah it does hurt so here's some (((((hugs)))). You don't get over it, but you will get better at it.

  OK Voices I have only done it once and it worked so here goes.

  1. Click on the url which is below the video (has to go blue).

  2. Click on edit then cut or copy (sorry can't remember which one now).

  3. Go back onto the page you want to post on.

  4. Click edit and then click paste.

  Video should show.

  Hope it works.

  Why DO Horrible Things Happen, Anyway?

  by Farkel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the insane things that occur to people who just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time is scary and creepy to me.

  a little girl is holding her teddy bear and as a coincidence is tragically on that same street when a bunch of gang-bangers decide to stage a gun fight because someone looked cross-eyed at one of their girl friends (you mamy insert any other bullshit reason here), so they start shooting and the little girl is shot and killed because she is innocently in their cross-fire.

  when captured and arrested, the gang-bangers says they are "sorry" for snuffing out the life of that little girl.

  A lot of what happens isn't because of God, it's because of man. There have been quite a few heated discussions over the last week about showing love and kindness. How much of the bad that happens in this world would stop if EVERY human being showed love and kindness to EVERY other human being.

  Just think how much pain and suffering would end.
