  Finally posting and I'm FRUSTRATED!!!

  okay, i'm about to engage in a major word vomit.

  just giving you fair warning as your time may be better spent somewhere else.. so, i'm sitting on my lunch break, bawling my eyes out, and writing on this forum to people i don't know yet probably have a great deal in common with but at the same time, used to scare the daylights out of me.

  for years, i would come across this forum and 'lurk' awhile if you will, or see things on youtube.

  Lurkers: Is it true that no servant of Jehovah in the bible celebrated birthdays?

  by juandefiero in

  did you know that job's family celebrated birthdays?

  the word translated "his own day" at job 1:4 is the same word translated "day of his birth" in job 3:1. .

  seems deceptive, does it not, to change that translation.

  I was watching CT Russell's famous film, " Photo Drama of Creation" on you tube and he actually mentions Job celebrating his sons birthday.

  For one thing, the elders won't let you get baptised unless you are doing well and getting in service. My nephews were both not allowed to get baptised because their hair wasnt short enough!!!

  As long as you screw up when you go over the questions for baptism with the elders and maybe tell the elders that you don't feel ready, there isn't much your dad can do, is there?

  Warwick project "ahead of schedule?"

  this is what a brother said at the meeting today.

  he has been working there as a volunteer.

  but my impression was that the toxic waste debacle set the project back seriously.

  Another poster said the reason they are ahead of schedule is because they have downsized the project, cutting out a great deal of unnecessary features.

  Reasons for doubting.

  by New day in

  1. watchtower

  somebody mentioned in a recent topic that they had a conversation with a former elder whose breaking point was when the overlapping generation was highlighted in recent times and how he would never serve again until somebody gave him a scriptural reason to believe it.

  i am in a similar position.

  i have gone in the last 18 months from taking the wt study, leading fs groups, and doing talks on the mtngs to doing almost nothing, as i resigned a little over a year ago as an elder due to a combination of family responsibilities and huge doubts.

  Yeah, my parents plan to will everything to this parasitic organization and forsake their seed

  yeah, they'll leave it all, their home, savings, etc.. never mind helping out their struggling children who never had a chance.. fuck this organization and everything it stands for when its members think god will favor them more by willing everything to a corporation instead of their own struggling seed..

  I have the opposite problem. My only child, my daughter, is still stuck in and I hate the idea of her donating one penny of my hard earned money she will inherit to the cult. It makes me angry every time I think of it.

  just wanted to say happy thanksgiving to all!!!!

  i love celebrating holidays now... even though all my family wont be there:( hoping one day they will see the "light.

  " maybe the " light will get brighter" and the jw will have a new understanding that everthing has pagan origins and its all about family on holidays.
