  i gather from my other thread that many liked the creation books, the mankind search for god book, the greatest man book and the ministry school book.. but which book did you absolutely detest?.

  here is mine:.

  i thought it was a vile, hate filled book!.

  1) Keep yourself in God's love

  2) The book about the 12 minor prophets, "Jehovah's day" was really boring

  3) Isaiah's prophecy parts 1 & 2...same lessons over and over, they might as well have done a brochure on that.

  "Satan's Star" Re-examined

  by JWStruggle in

  2. bible

  i put on my blog recently an article reviewing the evidence regarding whether the star of bethlehem was guided by god or satan.

  as we are well aware, this is a "pet point" of the witnesses and assists the wt viewpoint with regard to christmas and all things "pagan".. .

  Nice 'reasoning on the scriptures' JWstruggle. Btw there's a JWstruggle on youtube, who's done some great videos.

  I was wondering if you're the same person.

  Keep up the good work!

  i was happy in and i'm happy out

  can i tell my story,briefly.

  i spent 18 yrs on the ministry,11 of them as an unbaptised publisher,i refused to get baptised because the dedication was a vow to the society,not a vow to god as defined in scripture,this led to many many debates with the elders and i often raised the "millions now living will never die" issue and several other points but was always told about the "light getting brighter" and "imperfect men" but eventually i relented and jumped in the water.i wish now that i'd read bro franz's books,particularly crisis of conscience before doing that,would have saved many hours preaching false doctrines of men, as doctrines of god.but once i got on the internet and started researching....what,bro russell is buried with a huge pyramid,was into numerology,loved freemasons,had ancient egyptian symbols on his books,couldn't prophesy what the name of tomorrow would be,said jesus was already present since 1799,1874,1878,1914,1918,.. and the judge was even worse"1925 is even more clearly prophesied in scripture than 1914" "millions now living will never die"(recently re-written as millions now living may never die),built a lovely house beth sarim for the returning brothers to live in,but lived in it him self,and drove around in their car.then came the new name jehovahs witnesses,but jc said we would be witnesses of him ,and suffer because of his name,thats what christianity is.then 1935 and heaven was closed to new entrants until 2005 when 2 new bros were put on the gb who weren't even born in 1935.no one in my congregation batted an eye to it...but the doctrines were still true...weren't they????????

  sorry but they have more holes than my watering can.. they resorted to quoting the johanas greber bible,written under trance by grebo and his spirit medium wife and used to back up the wts version of john 1:1.so jumping ahead,when i was pointed to the un deception(an organisation which hosts the temple of set in th un tower) it was time to bale out,simple as that.they won't hear anything i have to say but oddly they haven't called a judicial for me either.i was in my late 20's when i joined and i got my child-hood buddy into it about 10 yrs ago,but he now refuses to acknowledge me and he only lives 100yds away,and apart from 2 or 3 others thats it as far as contact goes.but the crucial saving for me was the fact that i always kept association with outside friends and my wife never joined so the change was much easier than some of you have had.ihaven't found a new church,yet,i loved god before the wts stuck their ore in and i still love god since i got out.

  2. experiences

  so my wife's cousin known as "free" on this site told us of this new documentary coming soon.

  i'm not sure if it's coming soon to theatres, independent film theatres, or just dvd.

  the movie is called truth be told.

  That magazine looks intentionally made like a Watchtower replica. Even with the "live forever on paradise earth" message...

  Maybe the director didn't want to get any complaints from the WT for using their literature in an "apostate film".

  elder resignation and withdrawal!

  today i added a new article to my blog showing the result of watchtowers means and methods on the ranks of good folks within the community of jehovahs witnesses.

  this article contains a set of letters that are self-explanatory.

  Nice letter. It's no wonder men like this ex-elder cannot survive forever in the WT.

  Poll: What do you believe now?

  i have been noticing we ex-jw's are very different in our choices of beliefs once we leave the wts.

  some choose christianity, others flee christianity.

  some find they can't beieve in anything any more.

  I believe Jesus lived, died and was physically raised up; his sacrifice covering for all our sins, which was the greatest demonstration of God's love. That's the message of the gospel plain and simple.

  Edit to add.

  I did waver between uncertainty and cynicism for a brief time after the disappointment called WT. I DAed in April. It's a relief to know that salvation is a free gift and everyone can enjoy closeness with God without the cycle of works.

  Thank you for the quotes wannabefree. It really does put into perspective these expectations decades ago, which unfortunately remain the same today for the present day JW.

  Eccl 1:4 " Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever." can be adapted for JWs to " Generations come and generations go, but the end is imminent."

  wt july 15, 2011 page 18 paragraph 15 "meddlers in other people's affairs".

  it is not our right to tell others how to run their personal affairs'' anybody here ever been told to do something/how to do something by an elder or other jw?

  in regards to job situation/family for example, with no direct scriptural backing...

  I was told my skirt was a bit too short, or I'd outgrown it which wasn't true. It was almost knee length...

  Clothes with dino or other monster prints weren't okay because they might be involved with the beast or other demonic symbols...whatever.

  Bikini's are for immoral girls.
