a reasonable question to any elder/members

by bigmac in

jw
friends

the question is this;.

because you are members of this apostate site, yet are still willing to serve the wt soc as elders,.

do you still hope to .

braveheart

Thanks big Mac for starting this thread...I know you've taken heat...but's that's good IMO...hope your Ok.

I am fasinated by the Elders who post...I have tremendous respect for all of YOu!

I'm starting to understand the issues you all face...important issues ie family etc.

I think Jehova celebrates everytime an Elder wakes up and has the guts to oppose the Cult from the inside.

Sharing on this forum encourages people...I have two bigshot elder brothers...they call me the family JESUS FREAK ...guilty as charged!

You elders and all Jdubs on this forum give me hope for my family. Thank you.

Blessed assurance to all. - BH

i ask because the number of gb is lower than any time in history.

basically with the 7 (8 counting barr, is his head frozen?

) currently on,you have an average size elder body.

I wonder ...are there visitors to this forum who are higher ups in the Org ??

Is there any intel on the goings on at the GB level ??

Is the freedom of information cracking the WT ?? ...I hope so...-BH

What a waste of paper...Nobody reads that crap anymore.

DF'd and struggling....LONG POST........my story.

by confuzzled777 in

how do i make a long story short?

i am fully aware that if anyone in my area were to read this that they will know who i am.

i was disfellowshipped on january 28th 2010 after an "interview" about an evening of bowling with friends and family back in november 2009. i was among 4 who were disfellowshipped and 6 who were publicly reproved.

braveheart

Hello and welcome Confuzzled...thank you for sharing your story.

You have been given great advise and excellent resources to begin your Journey of FREEDOM and the pursuit of happiness.

Hundreds and hundreds of people have read your story and this thread of knowledge, myself included.

I figured out a few things:

the WTBTS is Not GOD's organization...

the WT preaches a Different Gospel...

they teach a Diffferent Jesus...

and they do it with a Twisted Bible....then they punish people with a mountain of rules and regulations.

Peace, Love and Joy to you and your family!! -BH

Hello fellow apostates

by gumby in

gumby here, thought i'd say hi to everyone.

my nutbag is still intact but it's a tough road to please others in order to keep a family.

really tough.. i'm glad this place is still here as it's a haven for you ex-es and a means to help others to see that when man (governing body) is a mediator between christ and oneself, it becomes a cult.. .

Hello Gumby...2001....14,000 posts....I am taking a knee and doing humble obesiance. - BH
