1975 - The Killer WT quote

by tim hooper in

one thing is absolutely certain, bible chronology reinforced with fulfilled bible prophecy shows that six thousand years of mans existence will soon be up, yes, within this generation!

(matt.

24:34) this is, therefore, no time to be indifferent and complacent.

whathappened

I was a young adult and a MS's wife at the time and that's all we talked about was Armageddon coming in '75. Those that deny we preached 1975 are deluding themselves.

Just received a phone call from bethel overseer and guess what?

by label licker in

him and another brother will be in our neck of the woods tomorrow from bethel which is and hours drive away and would like to know if i could meet them downtown.

i will be bringing with me the transcript to my jc but not the recording.

although there's names on the papers there's no recorded voices or my signature so there's nothing they can do as far as sueing me, right?

Dealing with JW family

by Laika in

a little update on my life: a few months ago i was sure i was going to be disfellowshipped as my mum told me that my dad had reported my apostasy to the elders.

however, nothing has come of this so far in about 2 months and i am very relieved!

i am not sure if it was because the report to the elders was just an empty threat to scare me back in, or because they reported me to their local elders and now that i am a member of a new congregation those elders decided they couldn't be bothered to pursue me.

whathappened

Yes, I am reading Steve Hassons book also. I went about things all wrong with my daughter. Should have soft sold ttatt. I thought she would see the BS of JW's clearly if I just pointed it out to her. Instead she took a defensive stand. Still hoping for a happy ending for all of us.

just some personal rambling:.

Wow, those are some good reflections on the typical goings on inside the life of a dub.

The poor sister who got raped and murdered...what a shame. She probably trusted in Jehovah to protect her. Look what happens when one does that.

What JWism taught me

by fresh prince of ohio in

jw
friends

humans, generally speaking, are immoral and corrupt.. death is not natural.

bad news is good news.. the present life is all for naught.. i cannot trust my own judgment.. the only possible good i can do for another person is to sell them on jwism.. they're out to get me.. humanity will not survive without divine intervention..

whathappened

Yes, and if you leave the organization you will end up dying a horrible death from a STD, alcohol or drug overdose. It is scary out there in Satans world.

Interesting Observation by a Coworker

by breakfast of champions in

over the past couple years, i've confided my whole "apostate experience" to one of my coworkers, everything from 607 and 1914, to disfellowshipping and being raised with the constant fear my worldly family would die in armageddon.

so he knows the whole witness thing.. anyway, he tells me this experience he had on tuesday:.

you wouldn't believe this, boc.

whathappened

Wow, great story. I hope the dubs all discuss amongst themselves. It could wake some others up.

DECEMBER 15 WT UP ON jw.org

by St George of England in

there has been some speculation over the last weeks about this issue.. well it's up tonight, only large print so far though.. george.

whathappened

When I was in I was semi shunned. I was in a congregation that was 75% black. I am white, single and middle aged, dressed the way I wanted to (read cleavage) and was not over the top theocratic. I was left out of everything. No one invited me over and I was ignored at the meetings. Once I wasn't even put in a car group when I showed up for the service meeting on a Saturday morning. They left me totally out of the plans, like I was invisible. I was so hurt I went to the mall all by myself and spent a lot of money on myself.
