  Hypocrisy 101 - Watchtower has Payed for College/College Courses for Bethelites!

  by Crisis of Conscience in

  2. scandals

  no you did not read the title wrong.

  i was out to eat this weekend with two bethelites.

  one gave a talk in my hall and i was invited out to dinner with them by another family in my hall.. as the conversation always turns to "spiritual" things, the subject of education was brought up.

  the influx of new posters made me wonder if the push to view jw.org is helping curious ones find this support site?.

  please post whether you found jwn during an internet search or if someone told you about it.. i myself was directed here by a df'd family member once i shared my doubts with that person..

  Crisis of Conscience

  In 2008, while "serving" as a ministerial servant, I became really disillusioned with decisions and things happening in the elder body.

  Nothing necesarily major. But it got me to question where the Holy Spirit was in all this. It seemed like decisions and actions were based all too often on opinions of men rather than the Bible.

  I had enough and decided to Google the subject of how the Holy Spirit works.

  JWnet appeared and offered answers but it was "apostate". So I lurked on Freeminds because my conscience allowed it. LOL

  Finally I returned to JWnet once I realized I wasn't the only one questioning the organization legitimately.

  I'm so glad I did.

  To the active or mentally enslaved JWs I say, if it doesn't make sense, it's probably not true. So keep researching.

  The real truth is out there. And it's not specific to a man made organization.

  Did you get invited and not go to the weddings?

  Or did you not get invited so that you couldn't go?

  If you didn't get invited, then they were truly, sadly, and realistically, never your friends.

  Parents became serious about the "truth" when I was about 7. I was baptized at 17.

  Woke up at 28. Became completely inactive by 32 years old.

  Lovin' every minute of it too, especially Saturday mornings - they are mine now!

  So roughly seriously in as a JW from about 7 years old - 32 years old.

  WITNESSES CAN STOP REPORTING FIELD SERVICE!

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  the lawyers acting on behalf of the wtbts/g.b./'mother' during a paedophile case a couple of years ago, have stated on record that - .

  a) "field ministry is not controlled or monitored by the elders, the congregation, or watchtower".

  b) "an individual publisher's field ministry activity, including the time and manner it is carried out, is a personal matter between the publisher and his god.".

  FDS says - "No need to check our work. Besides, it will only make God angry."

  by Crisis of Conscience in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  though i no longer believe the fds is indeed appointed by god, i guess because of what has been taught to me all these years through the wtbts, i still make an effort to try and look at both sides.

  and then i come across this number below, which is how i arrived at my title for this thread.

  ***w81 2/15 p.19 do we need help to understand the bible?***.
