confuzzled: some members have been through so much during their experience with the WTS causing them to leave.....not because they are being bitter from being df'd... no one left b/c they wanted to do what they wanted to do. jehovah witnesses still in "good standing" with the congregation did what they wanted to do but it is just that you don't know anything about it and you won't ever know about it....

Suppose a worldly person knows too much about the WTS
by dgp insuppose a practicing and, to all appearances, true jw knew a worldly person (me) knows a lot more about the wts than the typical jw would expect.
i mean, the person knows the wts's structure, the general information about the basic theories (chronology, other sheep, the flocks, the anointed...).
i believe that this jw would immediately suspect that the worldly has visited "apostate" sites.

Sis. Janet Jackson reveals shocking news on Oprah !!
by ShirleyW inwhen oprah asked if the kids were being raised jw and she knew that jdubs don't celebrate b'days and holidays, janet gave the shocking news that (i'd advise all with heart and medical conditions to take a seat now) she said that yes the children do (as ins always) celebrate there b'day and holidays.
the horror, i'm so totally shocked and stunned!!

From what i heard...michael wanted his children to be brought into the truth. I heard that he wrote down in his will that he wanted his children to attend the kingdom hall. maybe if it wasn't for the problem with his fame, he would of still be in the truth

i don't like the new songs b/c they sound more depressing or halloweenish. Don't ask me why i feel that way b/c it is just a random feeling.

i done this foolish thing months ago not knowing about what i was about to face. I committed fornication one time with a guy. i went to the elders with this guilt that jehovah wouldn't forgive me for hiding it. i remember some publications that state "yeah you are hiding your sins but jehovah sees it and it will come to the light at the end" why the hell did i believe that? this experience made me truly see that being a member of this organization is not for me and i saw that the WTS is not really the truth.

Other Religions use the Name JEHOVAH too
by UnDisfellowshipped inare jehovah's witnesses really the only religion that promotes and preaches the name of jehovah?.
jw's are always claiming that they are the only religion that preaches and uses the name jehovah, and that is why only they will be saved.
for example, look at this quote from the watchtower:.

rich5678
it is pretty obvious other people use that name. but some jws use that to their advantage to show that they are in" the truth"

I don't believe that garbage myself...in my congregation, almost all men wants to be elders for that boost in their lives...some women probably wish they can become elders too lol j/k

Interesting Experience -Man falls in love with "Special Pioneer" sister who studied with him.
by Witness 007 inwhen i pioneered we travelled to a small "outback" town every week...population 1,200, to assist 2 witness families with preaching.
a special pioneer sister {single not that great looking 40 year old} started a study with a tough hard working aussie bloke, but....rather then hand it over to me she continued to hold onto the study for afew months.
see outback australia is a bloody hot place during the summer so it's easier to spend the afternoon under a fan having a study rather then door knocking with a mile between houses!!!!

I had feelings for a guy outside the organization at school. my mom knows about it. my mom questioned "what are you doing having feelings for a worldly guy?" She pretty much told me how ridiculous i was for having something i thought was natural. WTS puts out all of these regulations and expect people to follow them. No matter how hard you try, you can not follow every regulation or find something wrong with at least one of them. The governing body do not follow every rules in their doctrine. Following these rules do not make you a moral person, it makes you obedient to the society on every word...
