DON'T SPEND TIME WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES.

by Hairyhegoat in

these comments and the references to the old publications are a true find.

have a read of this and you will never become one of the jw's!.

don't associate with outsiders (non-jehovah's witnesses).

Thought I'd have a good look at these references myself.... So I've dug out my copy of the '2003 Edition' of the WT Library Disc (WTs go back to 1950, Awakes 1970, and ALL the other publications ie: Youth book of 1976 are on it). All these references quoted at the beginning of this thread ARE accurate. No surprises there then !

Later editions of the WT library Disc's were edited by the Borg, so didn't contain half as much information as the original printed articles. (Maybe 'DesirousofChange' had access to a Newer Version of a Library Disc, which had been edited, or maybe he just chooses to be ignorant...

The borg needed to distance themselves from older teachings from within their older publications as part of a damage limitation process. Volumes for these Older articles are no longer within Kingdom Hall Librarys either because old teachings are regarded as Apostate Material. God forbid any modern day JW reads them! LOL

Maybe Desirousofchange & a few of the other posters who have negative views of this thread need to surf ebay to purchase older WT volumes and then they will see in BLACK & WHITE exactly what was printed in the original publications!

Shame on you guys for not doing your homework & making this thread out as inaccurate.

for the most part, i am able to understand how my family treats me.

i used to shun people.

If you gave that quilt back it would close the doors on your friendship forever. Keep it, cherish it & maybe curiousity will get the better of her & she will come to your aid if not now in the future :) Whatever you do keep those doors open & treasure that quilt ... x

Wholesouled...

when i was a gormless super spiritual jw i did absolutely everything to the sanctification & glory of jehovahs name... i was a total perfectionist & i soo didnt want to bring any ill repute towards jehovah or the congregation, that with absolutely everything i did, i gave it my 100%.

i was a total boot licker doing everything just so in every area of my life... .

since waking up to the truth about the truth, i can no longer give my all to things.

sleepingbeauty

Yer, I can see that my days as a perfectionist were completely brainless & did nothing but probably drive others insane... So thats where my problem is, I do little or as little as possible for a quiet life.. Lifes two extremes at opposite ends of the spectrum, finding the balance is whats difficult....

all i can say is "wow!

" in the 10 years i've been out i had no idea that forums like this existed.

a tad naive-sounding for someone with a background in it, i know, but it's taken me this long just to feel comfortable enough to type 'jw' into google.

sleepingbeauty

Since waking up to the Truth about the Truth, I can no longer give my all to things. I just cant be bothered. Why can't I just give the same 100% I always did?

Does anyone else have this kind of problem? I know a lot from the world of JW's are perfectionists, so how does everyone else overcome this ... :0

Proverbs 3: 5-6

by sleepingbeauty in

.

trust in jehovah with all your heart, and do not lean upon your own understanding, in all your ways take notice of him & he will make your paths straight... prov 3:5/6.

this scripture is the scripture that made me blindly accept everything .... because it specified that i not lean upon my own understanding i did exactly that.. is there any particular scripture that you took to heart that kept you blind?.

ill introduce myself.

my name is darren, im 23 and live in england.. im having some problems with the "truth".. to start it off and to keep it as minimal as possible because i dont want to bore your minds, i was raised with my whole family as a roman catholic.. after moving around the world, even as far as new zealand, i got myself in a terrible way in guernsey channel islands.

i met some old friends of mine who were into all sorts related to the "crime scene" and i got myself involved with drugs and the like.. i began a spiralling into depression and cutting my arms to feel alive.

sleepingbeauty

Darren.

They became the crutch when you needed someone. Now though you've learnt to stand on your own 2 feet & you've had that wake up call.

Do plenty of research. If its the Truth it will withstand any critisim. You will soon find out the Truth about the so called Truth :0 Were all here for you so ask away with any queries / questions you have :)
