It is a prophecy because the Watchtower says so, plain and simple. We do not question the Watchtower do we???

Has The Governing Body Ever Explained Why They View The Faithful Slave Parable As A Prophecy? What Justification Do They Give?
by frankiespeakin ini don't know of any do you.
i would think it a major leap in logic to not concider this first before expounding on it prophetically, why go thru the bother if we are missing this important link..

July 15th, 2013 Watchtower is available NOW on jw.org
by sd-7 inrather surprised--this is quite early.
usually it's not out until the 15th of the month.
one thing i noticed, which all the hubbub about all the other articles seems to have overshadowed, was on page 26, a brief article about mark sanderson, the newest member of the governing body.. sounds like he was on the career path of a company man.

just curious. How about blood?
by never a jw ini have never been a jw, but i have lived literally surrounded by them since i married my wife, almost 20 years ago.
since i never raised a fuss before, i guess i was also brain-washed into thnking that their religion was harmless and the leaders were well intended.. i have been reading your comments for many months and have come to realize how harmful the religion is.
your comments have been mostly about the pain inflicted by shunning, deception in the literature, and the views on higher education.

I know of several witnesses who have died simply for refusing blood. They could have been saved. This is for real. I know many witnesses with unbelieving mates who will not let their spouses be their medical power of attorney because they won't agree to the no blood teaching. Go to jwfacts.com. There is an excellent page regarding the blood issue.

Good Signs from my wife? maybe? She wants to improve her thinking ability!
by thecrushed inso after the memorial hell http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/249700/1/memorial-hell my wife totally missed the special talk and i only just realized from jwn that she has.
in fact last sunday i took her out to a park and we had nice time in the fresh air enjoying nature.
also she has taken up improving her congnitive skills on luminosity and today said she might actaully go and study some algebra on khan academy which i had suggested instead of spending money on luminosity.

Anything that will pull her attention and perhaps her heart away from the organization would be a blessing to you in the long run.

Did reading Jwfacts help you? Please take a moment to say thanks..
by The Quiet One init seems as though so many of the stories of people who are now mentally free that i read on here involved reading jwfacts.com at some point along the way.. he basically saved my sanity (questionable, i know!
), and was never as sensational and garish as other sites which immediately scared me away.
why not take a minute out of your day to say thanks for any difference that jwfacts made to your life, and tell us what it was that helped you?...

Reading www.jwfacts.com convinced me that they were misinterpreting pretty much every scripture they use to support their unique doctrines.
Yes, thank you jwfacts.

Immoral sleeping arrangement?
by hoser ini'm reading through the watchtower rule book right now and i came to the chapter clarification and guidelines on handling certain matters.
there is a part about scriptural divorce and even if adultery is not proved if your ex stayed all night or is involved in an immoral sleeping arrangement you can get scriptural grounds to remarry.. .
they make a rule, then they have to make a rule for the rule, make another rule for the rule for the rule.

Yes, but as we all know, Jehovah and the angels are looking at us and know what really happened. You will die, die, die if you divorce your spouse and they really didn't comit adultery.

Move Around, Move Around in the Kingdumb Hall
by rebel8 intm, and instead get to know those outside one's clique.
you know, so when the great tribulationtm comes, you will have plenty of friends'tm homes to hide in.. it was one of those things that the bros got so excited over, marveling at how clever their fellow bros are, and how special their religion is to have such a witty and fittingtm little song.. we couldn't wait for the real song to play so we could see which bros would be bold and sing the move around lyrics to it instead.
oh how hilarious that was!

Jwleaks, I think you have come up with a brilliant name for the association to use for a flier or newsletter. A little humor certainly lighten things up.
This debate about the name has been a downer and I fear it will keep some real talent out of the cause.
Lets all get on board and see where it goes. I am sure the board will be open to make any necessary changes in order to see their most noble cause brought attention too. Don't let the disagreement about the name keep us from acting. It is their organization...not ours. They can call it anything they want. They had the gumption to start it, not us. They need our support.
I have a daughter and grandson I want out of this evil organization. When the numbers decrease and the Watchtower rhetoric gets crazier and crazier, she will be more likely to leave, taking my little grandson with her.
I am going to give the aawa my full support. Lets give the governing body as much heartache as they have given us, guys. The bigger they are the harder they fall. They are not too big to fail. Let's get them!
