  My condolences Sydney.

  Thank you for sharing your loss with us.

  How is your boyfriend taking it?

  Has there been any response from the elders? Do they even know you were pregnant?

  Hope things run smoothly for you from this point on Gal.

  As Peter said to Jesus, "Unto which other organization shall we go Lord, only Watchtower and the Governing Body have the truth that leads to surviving Armageddon."

  How many different "rules" do Jehovah's Witnesses have to obey? Can you count them?

  all the big changes for jws since this last fall brought me back to this site, and got me and the wife talking.

  just how many things were we not allowed to do growing up as jehovah's witnesses?

  we were so used to all the rules, customs, and traditions, that we became used to them.. one site i found claims there are 141 unique rules!!

  For anyone seriously looking for evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ, I recommend this scholar who is fairly knowledgeable on the subject.

  Lines you would never hear from a Jehovah's Witness

  a slightly tongue in cheek, but also serious roundup of jw speak and why trying to reason with them is like trying to chip through concrete with a plastic spoon.. how many can you think of??.

  elder: 'yes.

  i read through the material you asked me to at your judicial meeting - you're right we're both in a cult!

  How the Society can change anything they want

  by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

  2. beliefs

  it's been a long time since i last posted here.

  however in light of recent changes i have thought a bit about things and have come to the conclusion that the society might.

  .. use the "evil slave" argument.

  Remember, The Society incl Rutherford and WTS directors were examined by Christ himself in 1919 resulting in their appointment as Faithful Slave. To suggest that they were corrupt is to say Christ was wrong to choose them to represent true religion. JWs cannot afford to unravel all of their exclusivist mythology.

  @notnorwich

  You know you are in the wrong religion when you cannot leave with your reputation intact.

  My fading advice is stop going to meetings altogether. If and when the elders call explain honestly but secretively that you are dealing with a personal issue. The hidden personal issue of course is doubts about the GB/F&DS. Thank them for their interest and inform them that if you need their help you will let them know.

  Keep what is personal, personal and do your research yourself without Watchtower lenses. This forum is a good place to investigate as well as Jwfacts.com
