Becoming of the anointed & seeing the light

by discreetslave in

i was recently born again and thus am anointed because of this i have come to realize that though there are sincere people who are jw, some teachings are fine but the wt organization is a fraud.

here is my story sorry if it's a bit long but i need to tell it.. 16 years ago today i was baptized as one of jw's.

i was 17 years old the only one in my family.

discreteslave the jws are not going to belive you that you are anointed,if you could in some born again church maybe they will accept you.but that means that the jws are going to disfellowshipped you because you affiliate with the church.

the other thing is that you should continue with your medication.at least stick to consistantly one type of medicine or you could have injection once every month during your followup with the doctor.it is very important to ward off "anxiety attack"

Lurkers! How do you put up with it?

by PopeOfEruke in

i just cannot understand how any one in their right mind can read the experiences here concerning the wachtower society's false claims, lies, trickery and deceit, and the example shown by the so-called "elders" in treating the flock with disdain and cruelty, and still stay a jehovah's witness.. lurkers, how can you do that?

do you simply dismiss all the evidence?

have any of you experienced such evil acts personally and still stay connected to the jw's?.

Lurkers, JWs, and JW apologistsIn the name of Christ?

by AuldSoul in

examine 1 peter 4:14 and john 15:17-21 and consider: can you name any of jehovah's witnesses who has ever been persecuted or reproached on account of the name of jesus?

please think very carefully about what the answer means, in light of plainly stated scripture.. i would love to see a discussion about this that includes comments from jws and apologists.. respectfully,.

Do You Blame Your Current Life's Issues Because You Were A JW?

by minimus in

do you tend to blame your problems on the fact that you were a jehovah's witness?.

cskyjw.sun

i don't blame jws for my life's issues.but i never started out mentally depressed.i had nervous breakdown only after my attempt on the neutrality issue and failed.i wondered was there a link.

How did you fill the void after leaving?

by gutted in

i'm curious about how people filled the void after leaving the jws.

i'm at a point, a bit over a year after leaving, where i am finding i have confronted the reality of my life and situation... and it's depressing.

i realize i have holes in my life (a significant other, social activities, something higher/beyond myself) which many worldly people naturally have filled but it feels unnatural for me, almost synthetic and it makes me more depressed the more i think about it.

cskyjw.sun

i didn't leave i was disfellowshipped.how to fill the void.i go to bed early in the evening.waking up as late as 2pm.read books,watch tv.then go to sleep at 4pm.waking up at 2pm and the cycle repeats itself.

james olsen and richaed wheellock both bethelites.. rich templet.

rich and james out of guilt, richard out of depression.. james and rich were both under 30 years old.. after richard wheelock (a bethel heavy) killed himself the society changed it's stand on whether suicides could be resurrectioned or not..

cskyjw.sun

when i first joined in i heard of a case of suicide.but no one actually talk about it.later it was my turn to become depressed.i did not commit suicide because i was afraid of the pain.

How To Attain Anointed Status?

by Cold Steel in

if i were a jehovah's witness, i would definitely want to be part of the anointed class.. if i were baptized into the religion and had answered all the questions correctly, how long would it take before i could claim anointed status?

apparently if i claim status, i'm questioned by circuit representatives who either agree or disagree.

i'm confused as to how someone would know they were of the heavenly class.

cskyjw.sun

if you read Romans 8,it is easy to get the clue of how to become anointed.But you have to be very active also.Better still you are a ministerial servant or elder.However we still need to satisfy one condition;you have to be long in the 'truth'.

2012

matthew24:7,8'for nation will rise against nation and and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another.all these things are a beginning of pangs of distress.

' and according to the mayan calendar 2012 is the pivotal year(not 1914) and hence we could assume the events of matthew24:7,8 to be fulfilled from 2012 onwards and perphas then we could see the real tribulations upon tribulations.
