Hi cedars,

I'm encountering a problem trying to enter the survey page. When I click the link you suggested I get this message:

Access has been blocked.

Your IP [..] has been identified as spam.

Does anyone have an idea what could be causing it? I'm using my personal laptop as usual, and I completed the 2011 survey no problem.

Thanks in advance

i'm on page 90 right now...the info is definitely new and gives me a totally diff view as to how i used to think of faithful and discreet slave.

i was thoroughly disgusted with the way the brothers handled the oral sex and leadership problem and the insight on the scriptures book...... still have alot of questions though.

The stance on higher education was an issue for me as well being a JW. I was also a reg. pioneer when I found this forum and started reading CoC as well as other past WT literature. Feel free to pm me anytime. I just sent you a pm btw.

So then, which publication did you HATE by the society?

by TimothyT in

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!.

Nobleheart

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

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.

New apostate movie coming soon

by fade_away in

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.

Nobleheart

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".

SERIOUSLY is there one JW publication that you thought was good?

by TimothyT in

i liked the greatest man book.

i thought it was very informative and unbiased.

a good summary of the gospels.. .

There was a time I actually thought the NWT was the best Bible out there. Not anymore...

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.

Nobleheart

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