I really want to offer some reward to the first person that tracks down the marketing agency or image consultant that got them going down this road........ it is clearly the brainchild of someone with PR experience.
It might even be some Bethelite......but I'm sure they didn't have a college education, right?
i am not sure how you all feel as we all left at different times for different reasons.... but this new bible seems to have put some final nails into a coffin that was once my jw life.
the religion is so far and so different to the religion i grew up in that it has become something i feel no affiliation with anymore, no bond, no shared ideas or even sentimental views.
different teachings on when the end is coming.
That was awesome. It sounds like we are about the same age.............that brought back some memories.
I'd like to add goodbye actual Bible conversations that had some depth....
The new 'JW' has no clue what this bizarre organization was before.
My only question is this:
Since Jesus has directed the Governing Body to get into the streaming TV business, will he be making a landmark appearance as their first, live interview????
Imagine how many people would suddenly believe.......he could even wear a JW.org button during the interview. Morrison has some Oprah like qualities, doesn't he? He could be the interviewer......
during the public discourse today the brobot talked about the gog of magog, and he stated that he was satan!!!
i had to ask my wife if i heard him correctly, and she said yes he said it is satan.... i couldnt wait to run up to the brobot after the meeting and inform him of he "new light" we just recieved yesterday!!!
when i approached him i asked him : what is gog of magog?
LOL, this story just made my day.
Classic......still teaching old light.....I guess God isn't concerned that people all over the world are getting accurate information so as to base their decisions for salvation on.
LOL.....thanks for sharing this....
^ ...yes, because after 100 years on the throne, Jesus suddenly decided TV and the Internet were what he wanted to do.
They are so mentally sick.
it has been a while since i've seen a witness, either in person or virtually.
searching for someone on facebook took me to the profile of a ministerial servant that i know.
i scrolled through his wall to see who is still around and found this gem:.
LOL.......those edgey JW's............they are racing to be the first to tattoo it on themselves
on october 2, 1914, charles taze russell, founder of the watchtower, announced that the gentile times have ended!.
tomorrow will be exactly 100 years since his historic announcment.. to commemorate this centennial occasion, i will gladly take bets in any amount of money that the world will not end tomorrow and that on friday, october 3rd, 2014 gmt, we will still all be here, for better or worse.. any die-hard jws interested in taking the other side of this friendly little wager?
still hoping the big "a" is coming tomorrow and your loving god, jehovah, is going to commit mass genocide and execute 99.9% of earth's population because they don't follow the dictates the 7 members of the "faithful and discreet slave," aka, the governing body of jehovah's witnesses?.
The best part of today is this:
You could ask almost ANY JW how they are feeling on this historic day...........and they won't have a clue what you're talking about....
LOL
this is my first post on here so bear with me.
currently i am still an active jw with serious questions about the jw org.
i was hesitant signing up but really need as much input from the people on this forum to get a clear understanding on things.
Welcome to the board.
Read 2 Tim 3:16, 17.
Do you believe those are inspired words?
Now ask yourself: How can I be a Jehovah's Witness?
i would just like to know why people are always treated like you have to be depressed or have some type of serious mental issue if you try to leave?
you cant just leave because its not for you?.

It's called: PROJECTION
long time lurker, first time poster here finally looking to get some things off my chest.
i've always been a very curious person with tons of questions about everything, and i also care deeply particularly about societal issues like social injustice, racism, and homophobia.
that, coupled with how boneheaded all the elders in my congregation are (except for one), led me to ask even more questions that led me to find ttatt.. .
Great story and similar to most of ours!
Very wise to take it easy on the wife....people need different amounts of time to digest they've been part of a fairytale ....... love her and be open for discussions.....
