  So, you left the Watchtower.................but.........did it leave you?

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if you grow up speaking english and you move to mexico you don't automatically speak spanish, know customs, understand currency, possess skills.

  for self-support or have any special insight into latino mindset.. .

  why would you expect leaving jehovah's witnesses would leave you any less ill-equipped to navigate the real world?.

  my van broke down before christmas.

  i could not even afford to have it "looked at", let alone repaired.

  so, i have been praying that god would somehow work this whole situation out.. .

  Yes, the people dying of cancer and starvation will be comforted to know that Jesus was too busy to help them as he was looking for you a new vehicle.

  Glad to hear he is not letting his high minded principles keep him from earning money from an "apostate."

  brother of the hawk, newly enlightened & gojira, recorded an elder's meeting on 5/7/03.

  both does a great job of defending me and making the elders look foolish!.

  My Family's Bible Student History

  by designs in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  recently my cousin on my mother's mcconnell side of the family stopped by for a visit and brought several boxs of photos and memorabilia and family bibles.

  two of the bibles are very worn and contain many hand written notes from my grandfather, grandmother and uncle who were bible students and then jws.. leafing through the pages of one bible this morning i came across something i had never seen- a jw calling card, a business card size.

  it says 'one of jehovah"s witnesses' second line 'preaching the kingdom of jehovah our god' the capitals and lower case words were interesting in how they saw things after 1931.. there are photos of russell, knorr with van amberg (who stayed with my grandparents on visits to california), knorr with a fellow taller than knorr who looks like chairman mao (anyone have a guess who that might be).

  Cool. I guess you can't scan the photo and post it because you could lose your annonimity. Someone may be able to identify the mystery man if you could somehow post the photo. Also, you could send a copy to Bethel and see if they will take a look at it.

  when i was at the farm, a few years past, the bethelite referred to the grave yard area where bro franz and bro knorr are buried as the launching pad.. was that "joke" how it was commonly referred to?.

  That would work if you were dealing with rational people, but we are deling with cult members.

  When I was in, I never believed MJ, SW or Prince were good Witnesses any way and didn't expect them to stay in for the long haul.

  That being said, there still has to be a way to bring this evil organization down, we just need to figure it out.

  Interesting conversation

  by Freeof1914 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  as some of you know several weeks ago i was disfellowshipped for several reasons, but primarily my thoughts on the organization.

  last night i had a very interesting conversations with my wife after she came back from the meeting and several things jumped out at me that made see even more clearly how sick this religion is.

  first of all, several months ago we attended a wedding of a friend.
