i cant stop the nagging thoughts in relation to the hype about "100 years of kingdom rule" !.
what is the significance?
why make such a big deal about something like that?.
If you ask a dub who the kingdumb has been ruling over for the last 100 years i wonder what they would say?
If the answer is over the 144000 and the FDS then that begs the question of Jesus effectiveness as a king and leader, ... 100 years of glorious reign and what is there exactly to show for it? Just a tin pot cult / publishing / real estate company.

They cant just ignore it as the failure it is otherwise there will be drift, so they have to do the next best thing which is to make a big deal out of it and hope no one gives it too much thought.

Thanks Jonza, that transcript is making for some interesting reading...
humankind has for centuries sought truth outside of themselves.
the soupmix of teaching ,ideas,philosophies and religious dogma had failed to see that the truth is within and if we seek ,knock and ask we find it within us.
the truth is that we are all light and pure love and that is buried deep within alll the layers upon layers which are being stripped away to reveal the true inner self .
LOL @ newhope
the truth is within you and god himself teaches us all the truth.we cannot find it in a building or religion.
the fusion between humankind and god was sealed by messiah in the 1st century.
until many recognise the kingdom within there will always be divsions,confusion, etc etc.
Take your fingers out of your ears and stop singing la la la for a minute and instead try doing some proper research matey and take off your "I'm special" glasses for once.
No one here likes being preached at and all your posts so far are exactly that. The fact that you cant type for toffee makes it even less likely anyone will take you seriously.
Plenty of people come thru here spouting their brand of crazy, so dont think you stand out as any different, you don't. We've seen it all before many many times and it is always the same old BS in the end.
You think you KNOW something, well you dont know jack. It requires humility to understand this fact and humility to admit it to yourself and go away and do the real hard work of undoing all the BS you have allowed yourself to be sucked into.
The hard work is worth the effort as nothing beats the very real freedom you gain.
i believe that the older you are the harder it is to leave the watchtower.. .
i am attempting to get a list of ages people learnt the "truth" and what age they left.. .
uun.

Craptized at 16 (LOL @ punky)
Quit at 41 and pissed I didnt quit a lot sooner
Now 45 and loving my freedom!
if someone has done this before , i apologise but this was new to me.....struck me as strange that nowadays, the answers to life's problems are found on the internet .

I feel ill seeing that.
Glad I'm out of the cult and not being press ganged into going out like a complete melon and promoting that crap.

So not once does the letter tell the elders to call the authorities (police etc) about abuse even if they are legally mandated to do so, instead they are to call the legal Dept and get advice.
I'm thinking this wont be looked on kindly by the authorities....
is coming and the elder wanted to set up a visit.
it's not like i wasn't warned.
there was a thread that talked about the push to call on inactive ones.. thanks to the heads up here, i knew the motive for the call.. i don't think i even know that eld.
Learn to say no, it's a very useful life skill.
No explanation is needed and if pressed for one you dont need to give it.
It's a great way to take control of your life.
ok in the effort of full disclosure, i have had a couple of drinks and recently experienced a circuit assembly and a bad experience with a co.. i don't know where to effing begin.
first of all the circuit assembly was a joke.
half the assembly was about pioneering and selling your soul to be a no-pay salesman for the borg.
It's a cult, ....just walk away head held high and save yourself a whole lot of wasted years and stress.
Almost everyone on here wishes they got out sooner, they saw the signs years or decades before but ignored or suppressed them.
