  This is what Mama wants!

  by jst2laws in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  reading responses to casper reminded me of our recent meeting with the co. he kept using the phrase this is what mama wants.

  it seemed to be applied whenever anyone with common sense would have objected to what was being said or done.

  however it was not employed by the co to excuse himself of responsibility but to give unquestionable authority to what he was saying.

  What did you do?

  by StiLLinTruth in

  1. jw

  to all those who have in some way left the organization (be it disfellowshipping, disassociating, dis-whatever):.

  come now, i know the amount of people who "realized that wt doctrine was in serious error" and politely handed in their letter of resignation has to be very small.

  the level of bitterness and hostility towards the closest-to-what's-biblical organization has to develop some other way.. what did you do?

  The annual Jehovah's Witness Satanic Ritual

  by unclebruce in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jehovahs witnesses are lovely people, i should know - i officially still am one ... but ... although their great cult leader, judge joseph rutherford, banned them from taking part in the evil pagan celebrations of birthdays and such, there is one ceremony that is ridgedly and solemly adhered to.

  the anual celebration of the "lords evening meal".

  as most here are aware, each nissan14, kingdom halls around the world are packed to the collection boxes with the 'happiest people on earth'.

  Elders/former Elders, help with this?

  by wasasister in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  actually, i don't care if you ever were an elder if you can find the appropriate reference in the wt for the following situation:.

  with all the discussion lately about the need for "two witnesses" to make an accusation valid, i've been thinking about divorce (and ultimately, remarriage) on the grounds of adultery.

  in most cases, an adulterous mate does not commit the deed in public.

  I see little good left in WTS

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you said, "so would it be wrong to accept the fact that the wts, despite its flaws, has many good scriptural truths to share.".

  i think most of us accept that the wts has done some good, but as the years pass, i find that the good i thought they did is getting less and less, and more importantly, the harm caused is getting greater than i could possibly imagine.. you continued, "can we reject what they have pressed to the world: god has a name, his kingdom is to solve mans problems, the earth is to become a paradise as god purposed, man will live endlessly on earth as intended, those who died will return in a resurrection of the dead rather that burn in hell, and this good news is to be preached in all the earth.".

  at this point in my life, after 25 years of being a jw and now an ex-jw, i find their message, its very root concepts, pure fantasy that may not necessarily god's will.

  In there no good in the WTBTS??? or ourselves??

  by jst2laws in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we hopefully all agree it is wrong to reject an entire race because we have found one of its member to be flawed, or to reject an entire concept an the basis of finding a flaw in its argument.

  would not fair people look for a way to accept the good in the concept, modify the flawed portion and rejoice in what was gained from the refined concept?

  it would also be wrong, as the wt does, to reject an entire institution because some of its precepts are flawed.

  hello friends,.

  in a thread over at witnesses.net entitled "society bracing for law suits" fellow jw's are taking swipes at ray franz.
