  what would someone type in google on the internet to direct that person to a site that was honest about the watchtower.if they just type in watchtower or jehovah's witnesses it will direct them the the wt.org which i don't want.i want them to go directly to such sites as freeminds.org.jwn or something like that.there are to many sites that would take them on a wild goose chase.i want them to go directly to the cheeze on this cult.. b.

  Preparing Scriptural Defenses Against WTBTS

  by Band on the Run in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am curious whether most people here believe that they need to memorize biblical proofs against wtbts teachings the way they did as a witness.

  my concern is that for someone out for decades, i may read the bible too much.

  i am drawn to it almost unnaturally as for me it is the best proof the witnesses lied and willfully misinterpreted.

  Some observations from the KM Elder School I wanted to share with you.

  by miseryloveselders in

  my school was a couple weeks back, and it was interesting to a degree.

  to be honest with you, it reminded me of a police crime scene investigation with yellow tape.

  what i mean is, in one respect it was business as usual.

  Got "THE letter" ....how to proceed?

  my husband and i faded/mysteriously disappeared from meetings over a year ago.

  we've had a few visits from elders (where we said very little but thanked them for their time), the last one being when we had some nice jack o lanterns sitting on our porch.

  on saturday, we got letters cordially inviting us to our beheading, i mean, our judicial committee meeting.

  anyone in jasper georgia?.

  i heard through the grapevine that there's a hoopla going on within the local congregation and bethel.

  How come witnesses can seem to be very friendly to the uninformed worldlies?

  by dgp in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know that jehovah's witnesses are told not to be part of the world and not to have worldly friends.

  i know that some witnesses do have friends.

  but, what i'm curious about is how a witness could sustain polite and seemingly friendly interaction with worldlies and at the same time feel that these are not people s/he should befriend.

  2. bible

  english standard version(2001).

  woe to you, scribes and pharisees, hypocrites!

  for you travel across sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of hell as yourselves.. .

  Menlo Park (CA - USA) Kingdom Hall

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i received an anonymous email over at ex-jw.com that had an attached legal filing.

  the first couple of pages seemed to be standard legal filings, but the rest of the pages looked like standard typed documentation (not in numbered double-spaced legal format.

  ) i'm not quite sure what to make of it, so wonder if anyone here has heard of it.

  will jehovahs witnesses make me a permanant "do not call "

  by looloo in

  2 nice ladys called on me the other day , as one started her "speach" the other one looked embarresed , i interupted and said to the embarresed one "you know why im not interested in your religion ,dont you " she replied "yes im sorry i couldnt rember which one you lived in " (i had met her at my door some months ago , and explained that my daughter was raped as a child by a man i had met at the kingdom hall , and some jws support him despite him abusing other jws etc , i had told of the paedpphile problem in the religion and my jw inlaws dont visit my little girl because her daddy is a disfellowshipped man , which i think is very unchristian) the other lady then started admiring my dress , then my little girl appeared and she said how pretty she was etc, i said goodbye and closed the door , i wish i had heard what the 2nd lady had said to her friend in explanation for why i was not interested !

  the annoying thing is my little girl then wanted to know who they are and what did they want to talk about , so i explained they were in "that religion that grandma is in "that stops her coming to see daddy , which upset her , then hubby came back from work later in a good mood untill i told him of the visit that had upset our little girl and then he was moody with me and said "dont talk to them again , next time tell them to be made a "do not call " for ever and never ever review it !is it possible to do that in our situation ?

  i dont want my family life upset .
