  A Lurker taking a step out of the shadows

  by AlmightyDog in

  2. friends

  i have been lurking on this site and others for a couple of years now, and i feel it is time to step out and say "hello!

  " when i first began investigating my beliefs, it was innocent enough.

  i had been reading an article on scientology, thinking; "wow, these people are just plain nuts!!!

  AD, a big warm WELCOME! (my third welcoming a new member today!!! - yipeeeee, keep it up peoples )

  I feel for you and the tough place you are in!

  There is a poster here (Mad Sweeney), who had used the family study night to study the Bible and only the Bible and it had helped his wife see the light. This is only a paraphrased account (Mad, I hope you don't mind), but anything could trigger the reasoning in your wife's head...Or so we hope!

  I second the suggestion of reading Steve Hassan's "Combatting Mind Control"

  Wish you the best, hang in there and hopefully you will be posting better news soon!

  Welcome to the board!

  Sorry to hear that your exit comes with such hefty emotional baggage. You should not have been treated this way!

  At least now, you can focus on getting your children out of it and living a dub-free life.

  Congratulations on your awakening, as painful as it may have been!

  Didn't Armageddon suppose to start in the MidEast? Isn't the unrest moving closer and closer to Israel? Tunisia, then Egypt and now Jordan?

  Hell, all we need is Syria to join (sister Yknot, how is the political climate in Syria :-) and we have Israel completely landlocked in commotion...

  I, thank God, am not amongst active dubs, but has anyone heard JW comments regarding the situation?

  Witnesses involved in Multi Level Marketing

  i just ran across an old aquaintance who is a former missionary (along with his wife) - although i think they just went to serve in s.america on their own, not gilead endorsed.

  they live in the las vegas area now, and are promoting a new mlm company called 'kaching kaching' (look for it on youtube, pretty cheesy) wactching them on these videos saying things like "do you want a piece of the multi billion dollar pie???

  " just blows me away.. i can't help but wonder if they are even still active.

  The April 2011 Awake

  by Yan Bibiyan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the new asleep is available on jw.org in its full color pdf glory.. i only glanced trough...seems pretty blah....except for the opening article and the pictures in particular.. the article addresses parents grieving to the loss of a small child due to an infectious disease.

  an unimaginable situation for any parent (myself included)!.

  the wt seems to show the natural reaction to the loss of a child and the expected grieving in a way that any normal parent would react.. however, it stood out in a stark contrast to the 1994 awake, where children lost to a stupid misunderstood and missaplied belief were lined up all smiling and their parents commended for the very actions that cut the life of their own children short!!.

  LWT, funny thing you'd pick this page. Look what I found immediately to the left of you r screen shot:

  “An Uncomfortable History”

  “The Report of the Commission to Inquire

  Into Child Abuse reveals an uncomfortable

  history of Ireland,” says The Irish Times. According

  to the newspaper, this report uncovers

  a history stained by the systematic abuse

  of children in Catholic religious institutions,

  ranging from “beating children whose crime

  it was that lice had infested their heads” to

  sustained sexual abuse. The abuse was ignored

  because of misguided loyalty to “the

  absolute authority of the Catholic Church,”

  says the paper. “Shame on You, Government

  and Church,” said a headline in the Times,

  quoting the words of one who sympathized

  with the victims."

  Now, substitute "Catholic Church" with "Watchtower" and we get an uncomfortably familiar picture.....

  Are you, WT, telling us when and how to grieve for essentially the same astronomical loss - the loss of a child?!

  Are you somehow telling us that the loss of a child due to an infections disease (which comes from the inherited imperfection resulting from sin, we all know) is somehow trivial, when the (murder) loss of a child due to a denied blood transfusion is to be celebrated?!

  Sorry for the ramble; had to get it off my chest.....

  Simple explanation why "Anointed" # going up (from the CO)

  by InterestedOne in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i asked the co, if the heavenly calling was closed in 1935, why is the number of anointed going up?

  he simply said that the society no longer says when the heavenly calling was closed.

  have they discarded the 1935 teaching?

  Speaking of how far back the literature on the CDROM goes, I noticed that the 2008 edition occupies only 376MB on a 700MB disc.

  So plenty of room to put about twice as much garbage on it, yet no such desire to do so...Wonder why
