  Hello All!

  by ihunt in

  i figure it's about time that i stop silently lurking around this community and actually add to the conversation, so here goes a first post.

  a little about me-i was born "half-in", that is, my mother has been a witness for the entirety of my life whereas my father has never been.

  i was an active part of the congregation (at least for what an unbaptized publisher can do) until i turned 18 and got an opportunity to attend a university (go school!).

  i learned this past week that my wife is now awake.

  i just shared the pbs newshour segment with her with no comment other than something along the lines of, "jw story on pbs.".

  she is furious at the arrogance of these men.. thats what happens when you get a momma angry!.

  There was a sister that was killed in a car accident on the way home from a quick build. That was about 15 years ago and there is probably nothing about it on the internet.

  Their delusion run-ith over in today WT study rag mag.

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i noticed that in paragraph 13 they mention the girl sheryl that i believe was the same girl that was in their video about the typhoon that hit the philippines back in 2013. they talk as if she's so happy and thankful to jehovah even mention that she lost most of her family in that typhoon.

  what they don't mention was her family members that were killed in that typhoon were inside a kh thinking they were going to be protected by jehovah since they were in gods house and his people and all.

  they also fail to mention that the government authorities were telling people to get out of town but the elders were most likely telling the people in their congregations to stick around and just come to the hall.

  Well, they have been told in the Watchtower to listen to their elders who are appointed by holy spirit and to follow any council given, even if it doesn't sound practical from a human standpoint!!!!!!!

  How do you respond to JW family?

  by Laika in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those who have left and are still in contact with jw family, how do you usually respond when they bring up jw stuff, i.e.

  start talking about the nearness of armageddon or things like that.. i usually say nothing and just let it pass but i'm considering changing tact to something more confrontational, less because i want to change their mind and more because i find it tiresome.

  thoughts?

  Don't be confrontational, PLEASE! This is your fleh and blood.

  When they start talking about JW STUFF, respectfully ask a question you know they can't answer such as where in the Bible does it say which blood fractions are acceptable? Or say that you are a bit surprised about Jw.TV. because the society has always dissed televanglizers, for example. Keep it light.

  The brothers would say this is energy and resources you should be directing to furthering "God's Kingdom Interests," aka free labor to further the interests of the publishing/real estate corporation known as the Watchtower Society.

  You will be shunned and seen as unsuitable association should you even "think" about doing this!

  Governing Body Member Stephan Lett Lies On JW.TV

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i thought it would be important to clearly point in the recent talk by governing body member stephan lett, that he did in fact deliberately lie concerning what he described as lies and false information by apostates, concerning the organization being permissive toward people in the organization who had been involved in pedophilia.

  the truth of the matter is thats exactly what the organization has been doing and perhaps for a long time.

  the recent candace conti law suit where she was awarded 28 million dollars was levied against the wts for its irresponsible behavior by the elders who gave no notification of the accused jonathan kendrick that he had been charged with pedophilia and spent months in jail for his actions .

  Is this theocratic warfare...lying about people who are telling the truth to keep the organizations followers in the dark about the problems within that prove they are not God's earthly visible organization?

  They certainly don't want the anyone knowing about where their monetary contributions are going!
