New to JWN and excited!

by sunny23 in

have been visiting jwn for about a week now and it motivated me to join.

i look forward to meeting everyone i can and learning from their experiences and wisdom as i search for more and more reasons not to get reinstated.

here's most of my story:.

New ExJW closed group forming on Facebook

by Watchtower-Free in

this is not my group.

just fyi.

uniting all ex jehovah's witnesses whether previously studying, inactive, disfellowshipped, disassociated, or thinking of joining the jws.

bigmac

yeah--i just applied to join--41 members wordwide---probably more xjw FBook groups than that. i can see all the members of this secret group.

i didnt know about the FB rules about having only 1 a/c. most of us are breaking that rule--arent we? my fake name is stan livedeath--but most know my real name---bigmac.

Couple of questions please..

by Dis-Member in

1. how can i change and upload a new avatar?.

2. when will we ever have any control of our pm inboxes so we can delete and clear messages instead of them sitting there for eternity?.

3. will there ever be any control of what we post (ie: being able to remove stuff) or is anything we post, say or share carved here in stone to maybe come back and haunt us in 15 years.. thanks...

if we don't all unite, we may win a few battles but Watchtower will win the WAR.

jw
friends

to thank you for taking the time to read this, because i feel that it is extremely important.

over the years we have been waring against the watchtower, and our battle field has been the internet.and we have been very successful in establishing discussion forums and online resorces exposing false teachings and we have used youtube to further shed light on the watchtower, we have even written books to this end.. .

yes we have attacked watchtower at its weakest point, the internet and we have been able to do this as small groups and even individualy.

bigmac

The Watchtower is starting to establish a stronger presence on the internet with discussion groups of there own.

official watchtower DISCUSSION group--(s)---???

bring them on. the watchtower will quickly block/delete any discussion that attempts to question or debate it.

i think its better to have many diverse internet exjw groups--lurkers will then tend to pick those they are most comfortable with.

If they changed their blood banwould their be a floodgate of lawsuits?

by Londo111 in

i know nothing about legal matters, but there are those here who are quite keen at these things.. if they changed the no blood teaching, would this open the watchtower society up to litigation?.

bigmac

i came to terms with this "blood issue" back in 1971--when my jw wife was carrying our 1st child. i was 23 at the time. as far as i was concerned--no religion or god was worth risking my family's life. so--i quit the religion.

job done.

No more doubts for me! Good-bye JWN! We have THE TRUTH!

by DATA-DOG in

i could go on and on about my personal journey over the last 2 years or so, but i don't need to.

everything i needed to hear to finally lay my doubts to rest happened on one meeting night.

it could only be divine providence.

bigmac

book study--whats that then?

yes--ok--so i'm a bit thick--but--

if a jw does accept a blood transfusion--who is going to know--?

and if the story does get out--and the elders come calling--whats to stop the person fessing up--but saying they agreed to accept a tranfusion because they didnt want to die !

and if the decision is to d/f the person--they can surely get re-instated after a length of time anyway--?

so--whats the big deal?

What do you do?

by Jen1 in

you want to be left alone?

you are fading.

but the elders want to visit you.

bigmac

bear in mind --i havent set foot inside a KH for more than 30 years---so my suggestion might not be the best--but it might work.

let the elders meet with you--with your husband as well if you both agree: then--tell them---

you have been badly hurt--stumbled--by hurtfull unfounded gossip in the congregation. BUT--you cant name names as its just hearsay and you cant prove who said it. In the meantime you just want to be left alone--to pray--meditate on the bible and the publications----and in due time--when you feel stronger--you will be in touch with them.

then--mark the date on your calendar---and see how long before they pester you again.
