Verifiable Former Bethelite Willing to Answer questions

by Uzzah in

jw
friends

i am a former active poster here, former elder, former bethelite and pretty much known by people on the xjw boards since the mid 90's.

gawd that makes me sound old.. i notice that a great deal of uproar is being made by allegations of a hide in the closet alleged bethelite.

to counter the damage caused by this claim, i am happy to address any questions people may have about bethel, protocol, etc.. i was at the canada branch for 11 years, worked in multiple areas including the legal department, service desk and writing dept.

Have a question.

I read some where on this forum that some Bethelites were told by a GB member that the WTBTS has to be reinvented starting with Genesis 1:1. Is this true? I can't find the thread. I would like more information from any body.

Help for men and women stuck in

by im stuck in in

i have been reading alot of posts here lately.

one recurring theme seems to be problems with our mates that are still in.

so i thought perhaps we could put our thoughts together in a organized manner.

I have been married since 1970 and my wife is a born in witness, but I got involved with this cult back in 1968. My wife has not been able to wake up yet and she is a tough one to convince, so I am still stuck in this religion. She might see some day that it is a cult with my help.

New Board members within the last 1 year.....

i can't believe the amount of new posters this board is getting.

it seems as if every day there are at least 2 to 3.. if you are a new poster, what made you decide to stop lurking and start posting?

how many of us are there that have joined in the last year?.

I joined 7 months ago as "Borgdrone" but changed to my new avatar "paladin" which I prefer better. I found this web sight by searching Google regarding failed predictions like the 1975 and 1914 Generation issues, but soon learned a lot more about the WTBT$ than what I was told or read about. Thank God for the internet.

Earthquakes....

by SatoriCE in

the topic of earthquakes marking the "last days" was brought up with interactions i have had with a few different witnesses.

can someone please explain the exact significance of earthquakes that jw's have?!

can you please also include any links to actual facts that contradict their views of earthquakes.

paladin

I would just say that the earth's core is still hot and the crust of the earth is always moving about which is a natural occurrence.

I am still in the Borg and the pressure and control over the rank & file members are very high. I think people will feel that their buttons are being pushed.

Is this Loaded Language in the 2011 Calendar?

by maninthemiddle in

i think it could be fair to say, that if paul spoke for jesus, then "revealed truth" could be a valid description since the scriptures say he visited them several times, but i think the loaded language comes in when you try to apply this to modern times, (wts a modern paul?).

i see this as trying to mold the first century to fit the current wts/jws.

what do you think?.
