Perfection? Ponder this...

hello all- nice forum.i have been contemplating a fade for a while, and i have been reading various sites such as this one.

i have seen all kinds of things that have made me think.

but something came to mind lately, and i wanted to throw it out there-satan was cast down to the earth, and he is supposedly the cause of all imperfection.

Welcome O.G when you start thinking about becoming perfect in 1000 years what WT teaches doesn't make sense.

Keep critical thinking and you will find the tatt

i'm just venting here because obviously, i can vent to no one else because i am still in the congregation.. jws as a whole do nothing to help the poor, the homeless, the sick, the hungry, though some individual jws do.

because they are too busy giving to the gb.

I'm working with some young ones In the cong to help them wake up. Couple weeks ago I took them on Saturday to do a community beach cleaning instead of service. We had so much fun. Even my super dub wife wants to join next month.

I should them the yearbook that we spend 250 million hours in service. Imagine if just spend one or two million on helping the community. How much we could accomplish.

two years ago I stop donating to the KH. And redirected my 50dlls amount donation a month to Humane society, they send you nice thank you letter and inform you what your donation is doing.

GB member and 17000 US$ iWatch !

jw
friends

one member of a similar spanish speaking forum has found something quite interesting.. it is quite funny to see that gb members do not really realize how their belongings are really showing them as a fraud.

do you expect to see a gb wearing a 17000 us$ iwatch when answering to a court.

geoffrey jackson does !.

Jackson looks really bad wearing the watch.

I agree with the Spanish post. Why ask kids to donate two quarters and you don't think about donating 17,000 dollars. Couple weeks back the study watchtower. Talked about brothers and sisters around the world not having enough food. Then you have Mr Jackson wearing Apple watch costing more then many brothers make a year.

Experiences Of Speaking To Another Awake Witness Without Knowing It

by freemindfade in

this is interesting, i would love to hear of some experiences.

i was speaking with someone offline about their talking to someone and coming to find out that person was waking up/awake too.

the reason i find it interesting, is because it is such a fragile situation, a dance where the two people don't trust each other enough to just speak freely like they are afraid of being turned into the kgb.

I was talking to two just out high school kids in the Congregation. They were telling me that the broadcast has made them question the org. Dint want to go full on apostate on them. I mentioned to research there doubts. It's great to see many wake up.

Taken from pro JW forum

by username in

now this is embarrassing.. after being cold in the truth for many, many years, and getting back some 2 years ago, my wife and i, decided to auxiliary pioneer last year during the memorial campaign.

we were quite impressed that we made the 30 hrs.. last month, we decide to do it again.

after handing in our application forms, and being approved, our service overseer asks me, "how many hours are you going to do?".

Ain't jah great he blesses this pioneer couple. While billions suffering from illness, hunger and injustice go unnoticed.

I don't want the Watchtower's version of paradise.

by StarTrekAngel in

i am writing this in the hopes that it may help someone in a debate.

i personally have not had a chance to discuss it with anyone but that is true for most other topics.

i think is a good one to analyze.

Are the sisters going to wear head covering when doing gardening?

JW paradise will be so boring. That when satan gets released after 1000 years everyone will start following him.
