  another problem with the new FDS doctrine

  by inbetween in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the issue july 15th 2013 changes the understanding of the fds dramatically, and it was broiught out here and on other places this creates numerous problems.. here is another one:.

  jesus is supposed to be the head of the congregation.

  when something goes wrong, he is often portrayed as the one having control over his congregation and also that in time he will act, clean the congo and direct elders (being the stars in his hand).

  This brother has probably heard of others who have researched the Watchtower Society's past and have left and he is in full zombie mode.

  intel on warwick project

  by stuckinamovement in

  the committee assigned to build the new complex was called into a meeting with the governing body.

  they were told " you finish this project by january 1 2017. we want the keys to the complex and will be headquartered there by that date, do you understand?".

  when the brothers protested and said that it would take 6 years for the project to be complete and if they moved that fast there would be many mistakes, the gb responded, "we don't care, that is your deadline".

  They better get to work. The GB better role up their sleeves and start helping lay the brick. Anyone see that happening? (I bet they never have to vaccuum the Kingdom Hall.)

  i was an elder until march 2012 until i resigned.

  i then stopped going to meetings in october 2012 and have enjoyed 9 months of freedom that i have found to be jouful!

  i loved learning ttatt and sites like this and jwfacts.com have been excellent.. i told the elders that i needed a break and that they should not contact me unless it was a social visit and true to their word they have done that.

  You will be labeled an apostate if you ask the wrong questions, my friend. You have to put your family first here. If you don't want to be DF'd for apostacy you must keep quiet for the time being so that your family can remain intact. This will be the noble thing to do for your wife and children and I encourage you to just remain inactive.

  i think my mother has lost it.

  i really do and i am in fear that she is literally losing touch with reality to some degree.. even my father is telling me that her responses to me are growing weirded:.

  the scriptures tell us that we can be wrathful.......but don't sin.

  She needs some time away from this problem. She is one that would drink the Kool-Aid for sure.

  Looks very clean and modern. It will take some getting used to, especially for us seniors. You have been working very hard on this.

  What I love even more than getting to sleep in on Saturday & Sunday mornings is not having the feeling of guilt for not doing enough and being good enough.

  Read it and Weep

  by cha ching in

  recently, we were challenged when we told someone that the wt itself says that it is not inspired, and we then were asked is that something you recently started to believe?.

  how many people just forget what the wt has said?

  well, read it and weep.. .
