They achieved the £5000 goal necessary for arrangements in less than 24 hours which must be a huge relief knowing they can afford a proper funeral for Leah.
They are an extremely well loved family in the exjw community. If you knew them you would understand.
sorry for my poor english, i hope to make not too many mistakes.
im a jw and in the last three years i have studied a lot the topic of the earth being flat.
i have a good scientific background so im not stupid or crazy.
I am starting to feel we are being trolled by earthmeasured :(

The life story of one of the engineers involved in intitial design preparations for landing on the moon was featured on the JW website. I'm sure if the moon landings were fake he would have confessed in the article but the account is retold as fact and authentic or do you believe Watchtower would be complicit in conspiracy theories?https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1982320

Earthmeasured
If you absolutely agree the Bible teaches the earth is flat have you seen images taken by various space missions?

I think there are 2 scriptures that refer to the earth as a circle (even that is not strictly true) but 15 describing it as flat.
If your conscience cannot ignore those 15 scriptures you will definitely struggle to continue as a JW.
Do more research and feel free to ask us any questions troubling you. We love critical thinkers here. :)
as we all know, this org has metamorphosized from one ugly creature to another continuously since it's inception.
but more so it seems in the last 30 years.. i got to thinking what my dad would think if he were to be brought to life for 5 mins to see the way things are now.
how would he even react?.
So much has changed in just 20 years.
From Holy Spirit being only attainable from the printed page not digital to smart phones and the internet being tools of Satan all back tracked on.
Armageddon was supposed to be before the 1914 generation died and within the 20th century.
Spiritual food which was in abundance 5 times a week has been cut drastically and magazines not much more than pamphlets but for me 18,000 partakers of the emblems is laughable as when I last went declining partakers were a sign Armageddon was ever closer.
All the GB were older than me when I got baptised in 1998 but now some are younger as 1935 is no longer the cut off date.
Doctrines and beliefs we thought were set in stone the GB have been forced to change as time marched on showing them up to be false and how expressions used to convince us of supposed "facts" that "clearly" and "evidently" were just the imaginings of a bunch of manipulative control freaks in America and not true prophecies at all!
not sure it's ok to post here about that.
im sorry if i'm wrong but i'm just trying to find my way and meet people that could help me become a good witness.
i recently discovered my faith as a witness.
JWs are what is know as a doomsday or end times cult who are well trained to recruit anyone who may be dissatisfied or disillusioned with the world or their own personal situation with promises of a better life or world once the earth is cleansed by all that they and you feel is wrong with it.
They will latch on to anything they think may appeal to you by listening and watching you very carefully whilst they make various statements. It is called "cold reading" (most fraudsters use it) and your reactions will determine what tactic they will use to entice and lure you into their cult.

Thank you
friends:.
simon's forum is much more than just a forum where we come to expose the watchtower.
it is a place that simon wanted people to be able to come to, to receive help, support, or find a compassionate listener.. this forum has exposed the watchtower more times than any forum on the net.
I learned so much from this forum when first waking up and still continue to learn.
I visit most days and without it I would miss a lot of posters most of whom I've never met. When we lost Eric i cried and although I had never met him felt I knew him as a fellow escapee.
For those who remember Sleeping Beauty and Hairy He Goat they very sadly lost their daughter in an horrific car crash yesterday.
I met them a few times through meetups and kept in touch mainly through Facebook. I cannot imagine the pain they are going through right now.
RIP Leah :(
well, it looks like the axe has finally fallen on our kh library.
during a deep clean of the local kh, a brother suddenly informed everyone 'whikst cleaning' that all the old books including bound volumes of the watchtower etc was to be chucked in the skip.. from what i heard, some were taken aback by this and quite annoyed that no announcement was made; that no one was given the choice of taking some of these books home to keep.
i mean the entire collection of studies in the scriptures and others that go back an entire century.
Smiddy3 I only have Watchtowers x
