i thought i would share something i remembered the other day.
hope it sheds a little light for you.. when you translate publications for the society, you often become aware of logic gaps.

i wonder if the pioneer assist others program being discontinued in august 2010 is one of the first service department changes, that has been implemented since theodore jaracz passed away?.
i wonder if they will also be considering the requirement for pioneer hours in hopes of getting more individuals to sign up to pioneer?.
he did have a stroke last year
Maybe that's why he had a stroke...... "You're ending what??!!"

so i screwed up big time here.
there's a nice young witness who is leaving the "truth".
i sent them a short facebook message and it seems their parent intercepted it...they asked if i sent anything to their kid today.. i said it jws are cultlike, i had doubts i wished i listened to, and to follow their heart.
Ohhh, Ynot you're good girl, you're good!!!! I like Ynot's advice. Either way, let us know what happens.

hello,.
i have been reading this board for some time and would like to ask: why you come here and post?
what do you all hope to accomplish by being here?.
Mostly to vent. It's good support to see other people going through the same stuff. See how their dealing and moving on with their lives. And some of the posters are just plain hilarious.

an elder once told me "that if the spiritual food he recieves is wrong, and he follows it ,jehovah will not hold him accountable".
all through out the bible it incourages a person to test, ask and seek, and to make sure of all things, so how can he not be accountable ?.
what is the best scripture that would show him that he's accountable for what he recieves.
That's funny. JW teach that billions of people are personally accountable and will be destroyed for following their religous leaders whom they believe are teaching them the truth. If that was true, then there'd be no point to their preaching, and their teachings about Armageddon are all wrong. And all religions would lead to salvation. I don't think this elder really knows what he's talking about.

i got an email from a jw relative.
they reckon that they have read a indepth report about the us oil spill and according to that.. the oil spill is too big to be plugged.. its going to posion all the earths oceans.. which means they won't be able to produce o2.. which means that all life on earth is going to die.... which is a fullfillment of the scripture " unless those days were cut short no flesh would be saved".
which means... duh duh duh!
Just wait till they know what comes from my toilet.....

well as we all now there is a prophet amongst us.
yes i'm talking about the octopus that has prophesied all the football results for the world cup in south africa(we have to wait for the final to see if the prophecy will be fullfiled like the previous ones).. .
after leaving the watchtower, 10 years ago, i finally found something to believe in!!!
All hail the Octopus!!!
at her recent thread, changeling was asking us if there are more men than women leaving the org.

i am a male.
Male. Isn't it crystal clear from my avatar????

Meaning the Governing Body.
Heed the counsel of the older men, Who protect his sheep and truth defend
I think a lot of us here can testify to the innacuracy of this statement. The elders neither protect the sheep or defend the "truth", be it from the Bible, or from many other issues.
