  gb member anthony morris mentioned a letter that was sent to bethel by a concerned jw fearing the gt.

  he mentioned it on the last sunday talk.

  i always wondered if any letter sent to bethel ever reached gb eyes.

  I am sure he doesn't write his own talks...the writing department writes them. I am also sure he doesn't read any incoming mail as they have "spiritually qualified brothers" who do that.

  by alfredjones100 in

  2. beliefs

  i remember reading a comment here that bro.

  russell emphasized the developement of christian qualities, where are bro rutherford changed the focus to christan works.

  the question i have is, is this change dirrectly commented on in print or is it seen in more anecdotal evidence?.

  Interesting question, 73 views and no comments. Maybe we are wondering why you are asking.

  well, now that we had an outstanding august, an extention to aux pioneer in september is being offered.

  you can offer the jw.org tract again, and again, and again.

  offer it at the dr's office, the gym, the laundromat, the theatre, the bus stops, etc.

  I hope this means they are in complete desperation regarding the literature. Hoe long can they keep coming up with plausible new light?

  Dad called on my birthday

  by StAnn in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  today is my birthday.

  i'm beyond caring about birthdays (i'm 51) but my dad, who is a non-jw married to my crazy jw mother, usually doesn't acknowledge us kids on our birthdays so as not to piss off my mom.

  actually, he has never acknowledged my birthday.

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i attended my last meeting in january 2014, having realised that i'd been lied to for 20+ years (i'm now 43 y/o).

  rumours spread of my 'apostasy'.. in may, cobe contacted me inviting me to a private meeting with elders at the kh.

  (no mention of the meeting being a jc).

  Fading, Stopping Meetings, DA or DF'ing, Thoughts on Getting the Hell Out Of There

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so i read some threads about why someone remains a ministerial servant or elder, or why they are still active jw's.

  others are telling stories about how they cut back slowly, and some of them got removed as ms/elder/pioneer or whatever.

  yet others tell of how they just up and stopped going one day.

  My sister, my nephews and I all quit cold turkey. We just couldn't do the slow fade thing...as it seems so hypocritical. Yes, it did cause a stir and some people are hurt, but none of us has been called in for a JC so we are all happy. It has been well over three years for all of us. So far so good. We are shunned by most in our old Kingdom Halls but that is an acceptable trade off.

  Sole CHANNEL of communication?

  by Batman89 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  has the gb ever explained exactly how they supposedly communicate with god and get new light or other "inspiration" for their "spiritual dog food"?.

  do they all sit in a room together and hold hands and join one conciousness??.

  do they fall asleep and go to the dream world and talk to jehovah there like the movie inception or something??.

  Yes, and how do the annointed people know they are annointed...they just supposedly "know" and we were too respectfull to ever question them about it.
