  Governing Body New Directive For Ex Members

  by Hairyhegoat in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have just found this out and this is why my family are suddenly 100% shunning me.

  it won't get me to go back to the cult, but it will result in a very lonley old man not seeing his 4 grandkids ever again.

  what a waste!

  so as to better get them to want to return to WT.

  LOL! So shunning makes people want to re-join? I have never wanted or had any interest in any group that practiced this (other than the WTS, shame on me). What absolute bullshit!

  Randy, this may sound like a parrot since I know you've heard it before, but THANK YOU for everything you've done and continue to do. Being able to purchase CoC and Thus Saith the Jehovahs Witnesses and you threw in an old WTBTS tract, has helped me so much this past year. 2010 will be forever remembered as the year I stepped outside of the WTS box and let my eyes see that it is truly a cult.

  Thank you, thank you thank you.

  Is it wrong of me to think of the GB, the Writing Department, Bethelites, Pioneers, as moochers, and leeching bloodsuckers?

  it's been a very long day.

  both physically, and mentally, althought the latter otweighted the former by tons.

  no, it's not wrong to think that. The 'truth' hurts sometimes, but nevertheless, it's the truth of the matter.

  okay so when i was talking with the brothers, somehow they got me to agree to come up with a list of jw teachings i don't agree with.

  for some reason the po gave the number as "12".

  don't ask me why he came to that conclusion.

  you are just prolonging the inevitable. You will be DF'd for apostasy and they will enjoy it every minute of the way. Why? Because you played by their rules. If you like playing games and losing, then you will have fun.

  If not, I suggest you stop feeding them more ammo to DF you and just leave on you're own terms. Making 'lists' to 'prove' your point wont open their eyes. They are in crisis management mode and are high on the horse that they got you by the balls. They are on a crusade to reveal and remove an apostate from their ranks. Do not be fooled.

  Good luck.

  1914 - What is the importance of this date?

  by sabastious in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  "we don't live for dates".

  i have heard this a lot in my lifetime when witnesses get approached with any critical thinking of the 1914 year date.. this sounds good, at face value, but it's so disconcerting to hear them minimize this date when they will jump all over it as "proof" of their organization's divinity.. without dates such as 1914 societies like the watchtower simply would not exist.

  the watchtower needed these dates to anticipate and use as selling points.. remember, before 1914 there were not very many witnesses.

  LMFAO @ OBVES!!! You just made my day.

  Just when I think someone couldn't sound any more ridiculous, along comes OBVES.

  quote:a flight attendant and cancer survivor has revealed her horror at being forced to show her prosthetic breast to a security agent during a pat-down at charlotte douglas international airport.. .

  cathy bossi from south charlotte has been a flight attendant for over 30 years and has worked for u.s. airways for the past 28 years.. .

  she said she was asked to go through the full body-scanners at the airport in early august which she was reluctant to do because of fears of the radiation from the machine passing through her body.. .

  That's so sad and aggrivating at the same time.

  This 'upgrade' in security is really going to push people into a furor and it won't stop until it changes for the better.

  shunning is love - Feb 15 2011 Watchtower

  by jj123jj123 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  18 if you face a similar situation, please remember that jehovah sympathizes with you.

  by cutting off contact with the disfellowshipped or disassociated one, you are showing that you hate the attitudes and actions that led to that outcome.

  however, you are also showing that you love the wrongdoer enough to do what is best for him or her.

  This topic makes my blood boil. I am not a hateful person, but this just brings out the hate and rage that I have locked away for the Organization™. The damage that shunning does to the persons psyche is unbelievable, inhumane and disgusting.

  The WTS is Satan incarnate imo. If you believe in a devil that is...

  By 'good' do you mean 'bad'? If so, try slaughtering a goat and smearing blood everywhere and chop off it's horns and make them into ritualized cups. Then invite your sister over.

  Should scare the shit out of her.

  But seriously, you can be 'good', just because she called you an apostate doesn't make you a bad person.

  And there is actually a whole article on obey. But guess what. It is obey Jehovah.

  But, I'll bet you it says that it is obey Jehovah THROUGH the FDS/GB right?

  We don't baptize our children as infants, we let them decide - UTTER BULL****

  by jambon1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i always found that one particularly laughable.. the jw's would always look for plaudits because they don't christen/baptize infants.

  as if they are free thinking pioneers of christianity who let their children come to their own conclusions.. no, they don't baptize their children.. yet,.

  they would be happy to make a life & death medical choice for them before they are even old enough to think for themselves.they are happy to have their children 'fight the fine fight' on their parents behalf all the way through primary/high school.

  They might as well start baptizing infants. Where I live the majority of the baptisms of the past few years have been several children under the age of ten. One was 6, another 7, 9 and 10. That's not including the two that were 12-14.

  Tell me what 6 year old is old enough to make that kind of life decision? Hell, any 'child' under 18. You're not even a LEGAL adult under that age. What makes them think that it's okay for someone underage to dedicate their life to something they have been pushed from infancy?!

  Makes me sick.
