it's ok.... to post here on the internet, on jwn, and other jw related forums.. first of all, as we all know, the governing body doesn't provide a forum for jw's to "associate" with their brothers and sisters.
i'm just guessing, and i could be wrong, that its harder to control the flock when they have free access to information and each other.
damn electricity and the technology it brings..... anyway, i realize that for anyone leaving, or for practicing jw's, to post is a nervous thing.
Ep...I find this site enjoyable...anytime people are made aware of the 'real truth' and then able to make corrections in their lives and share those with others...well it brings real JOY to me, as I am sure to many others.

perhaps nothing better illustrates the lack of a chrisitian spirit within the leadership of the watch tower society, than their slander and vilification of former members.
a christian spirit would mandate prayer for and wishing such ones well, even if their sin were authentic and well documented, encouraging such ones to repent and accept the teachings of jesus christ.
where is the verse in scripture that encourages hatred for a person who merely resigns his membership in an organization?
i had the misery recently of attending the sad.. the bethel speaker looked and sounded like the usual corporate businessman after your money.. during his main talk, he praised a recent bethel member who left his college (aka university) course early to pioneer and join bethel.. that followed experiences from window cleaners, unemployed, parents home-schooling (aka child abuse - it is a basic human right to be educated) their kids and those baptised as children (youngest was 10).. the brainwashed dubs applauded every ruined life paraded on the platform.. these bethel speakers have been around long enough to know exactly what they're doing - they are evil men, ruining peoples' lives, breaking up families and masquerading as holy men.. their time will come when they face god - too late for the many ruined by their filthy lies and false hopes.. sorry to sound bitter, but to my shame i had a part in this cult as an elder.
what part of my brain did i lose to not see through this rubbish?.
better late then never though.
I too wonder what part of my brain was numbed to the real truth? Being born-in...never really had a chance!
made these in photoshop.
i reckon this would be how a security suite made by the watchtower society would look.. blocked apostate website link - http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/5143/wtsecurity.png.
security settings - http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/4633/watchtowersecurity.png.
This will be on the new WT2011 CDRom...only way it will load is if you allow this new 'apostate' safeguard security suite to install

disfellowshipping has a "measure" of validity since in the 1st century you could be removed from the christian congregation for practicing sin.
(but not shunned outside of worship ceremonies).. the process in which someone is accepted back into the fold in the jw policy is completely made up.
it's funny that witnesses will poke fun at catholics for making up purgatory when they have completely pulled the reinstatement process out of their asses!.
well stated-explained-and IMHO correct.
it would appear that this may be gods will...since the book is being made public...despite the effort to stop it.so the ones trying to stop it may actually be working againts jehovah's will.

Loosie...
The Elder's 'guide' book in a way is being made Public... since despite the efforts to stop-it...it is available on the internet.

there have been a number of developments over the past few months and they paint an interesting picture.. witnesses can keep dragging themselves to meetings ad infinitum however, the future of the watchtower itself is another story.
the evidence of continuing cash flow problems is now overwhelming.
if you talk to well placed witnesses, most won't deny it but simply blame it on the publishers financial problems.. they have cut off loans to congregations many of whom genuinely need new kingdom halls.
'WontLeave' This is assuming JW's are the chosen ones...

i have recently found out that someone close to me is receiving medicaid and in the process of getting food stamps.
this is so unfair and annoying.
