My JW mom is now willing to "listen" to our side...Need advice pls

by 2pink in

jw
friends

my husband and i (both born in jws with extended family all "in" except for one of my sisters who left when we did) left the church 5 years ago.

we did not fade, we just didn't believe it anymore, told our families so and left.

obviously, big drama in our family after this, messy feelings, etc.

Psalm 146:3

Ask her if she believes it. When she answers "yes, of course".......ask her why she obeys 7 men in NY no matter what they say or do

Keep it very simple....and don't answer anything for her..........let her brain churn

How Have You Changed Much In Attitude & Actions Since Leaving The Witnesses?

by minimus in

jw
friends

it takes time to stop thinking or reacting like a jehovah's witness.. are you still judgmental?

a know it all?

a person that listens more with their heart instead of their head---like jehovah's witnesses ???.

daringhart13

Dramatically.

I have a true, to the core "live and let live" attitude. Unless it's hurting people or causing danger, do whatever the hell you want.

Governing Body Worship in the WT: July 15th, 2014 issue

by Oubliette in

the july 15th, 2014 issue of the watchtower has the "life story" of gb member gerrit losch on pages 17-22.. think about it.

this losch love-fest is 6 pages of the current wt!.

that's nearly 20% of the ragazine.. is this the beginning of a series of idolatrous articles indoctrinating jws with gb worship?

daringhart13

Data-Dog is 100% correct.

There is no question in my mind that they are working with a PR firm or someone in Bethel that is educated in PR

WTF THIS S*** IS REAL!!!!

by Yondaime in

as i am typing this post i am constantly looking over my shoulder to see if anybody is at my bedroom door lol guys i know i am stuck in a a cult.

but this s*** is f****** crazy!!!!.

w13 11/15 p.16 par.17 -- " at that time, the life-saving direction that we receive from jehovahs organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.

I'm so encouraged to see that young people are waking up to this devious trap called Jehovah's Witnesses.

Please keep walking and don't look back!

You ought to know positively the appearance of your flock

by leaving_quietly in

this famous line from proverbs 27:23 (in the old nwt) is used for elders and the organization to justify field service reports.

but, what is this verse talking about?

is it about overseers in the congregation?

daringhart13

As a former elder I can tell you I had this argument many, many times.

People are put on restrictions or disciplined........and they never hear from the elders again. There is not teaching or nurturing......they have to go remind the elders that they would like off their restrictions.

I can't emphasize enough what a complete joke the 'elder arrangement' is among Jehovah's Witnesses.

All the craziness of the blood doctrine.

by Crazyguy in

well it looks like the wt was slowly moving away from the blood ban going back to the 1990's but not sure of some things i have read concerning thier comments about blood moving through the placenta?.

that some protein fractions from the plasma do move naturally into the blood system of another individual (the fetus) may be another consideration when a christian is deciding whether he will accept immune globulin, albumin, or similar injections of plasma fractions.

one person may feel that he in good conscience can; another may conclude that he cannot.

I was very close with the elder on our body that traveled to Bethel and oversaw the Bloodless group in our state.

He told me point blank that the elder running the program for the PLANET knew it was BS and I quote "he desperately told me he wants out of the business"

They KNOW people........

Wouldn't Being "Mentally Diseased" Give You a Pass at Armageddon?

by TTATTelder in

wouldn't being "mentally diseased" give you a pass at armageddon?

the wt claims that apostates are "mentally diseased".

most of us are aware of this claim on this forum.

daringhart13

Yeah.....

....kinda like being announced as "no longer a Jehovah's Witness"....should get you treated like your neighbor they are talking to in field service.

But never mind, ......... that makes sense.

Why Do Witnesses Promote A Unhealthy Lifestyle, My COBE weighs 340lbs (5ft 7in).

by BucketShopBill in

please don't take this the wrong way if your battling weight problems, that's not what this thread is meant to talk about.

i am asking this question because jehovah's witnesses claim they have "the best way of life", "god's blessing", "the truth" and are trying to change the habits of healthy people by turning them in to their own makings.

i watched people who were great athletes turn all their muscle in to fat because we would get a elder or circuit overseer make remarks they were spending too much time "working out" and "bodily training is beneficial for little".
