Emeth...you don't even have to hate what they love! All you have to do is to disagree with the smallest teaching of the WT and they are programmed to hate you without giving you a chance to explain. You could be right and they will still hate you. Who needs friends like that? I'm married to one of them and what makes it tolerable is that we avoid all conversation about her cult. This will work until her cult leaders realize that I am never coming back. If they pull her away from me I will not hold her back...she will have made her choice.

19Hello, how are you, see you, good bye
by Gorbatchov inyesterday i was at a supermarket and i walked right in the arms of a nice jw couple.. they are so nice, they could be our family friends, if we went to the congregation.. how it went: mr nice walked by and said "hello" and walked straight on, without looking to me.. his very nice wife smiled and looked surprised to see me, a look only a jw can have, looking to a poor fader like me.. she said "hello, how are you?
see you, good bye?

Remember that they only loved the JW you used to be not Gorbachov the man. You are no longer a friend of their God so you no longer qualify to be their friend. I stopped going to the meetings over 3 years ago and "friends" still send their regards to me via my wife but not a single one ever called at my door or by phone. They loved the JW I was but not the person NVR2L8 is.

It's for real...and good translation include facial expressions. If masturbating was acceptable for the JWs the translator would smile warmly while signing the word, but since it is considered bad, he frowns in disgust.

Will Generational Teaching Affect Recruitment?
by bemused inthis is my first post, so let me introduce myself briefly.
i am not, nor ever have been, a jw but i have a close family member who has been a witness for many years.
i have been curious about my relatives beliefs for some time but have only recently looked in any detail at what witnesses actually believe, which led me to this site.. i have seen references to changes to generational teaching but have not really understood what it was all about until i read the article let your kingdom come but when?

The generation teaching is part of the deeper knowledge of god and is only understood by spiritually mature JWs...once baptized one continues to learn and acquire a better understanding of God's purpose...so don't worry about things you don't understand...just dedicate your life to God and he will provide you understanding in the appropriate time.

A child that DIDN'T want to die ... a blood experience you won't read in Awake! or on JW.ORG
by wannabefree inwhile doing work for a client in her office recently, we got into a light discussion about religion.
she knew i was one of jehovahs witnesses as our business relationship started while i was still a loyal and believing jw.
anyway, i said something that she knew didnt quite fit and she said ... i thought you were one of jehovahs witnesses ... i shared my story ... she felt comfortable to confide in me a story as to why, even though she has had dealings with jehovahs witnesses who she thinks are good people, she would never even consider listening to them about their religion.. i asked her if she would write it down for me so that i could share ... she agreed.. this is her experience.. .

Adam
When I said that this exactly the case with this boy I was referring to your previous comment on how doctors estimate the success rate of treatments based on thousand of similar cases. The parents knowingly chose a treatment offering a lower success rate to avoid the usage of blood. They lost their gamble... the boy died after a year of chemo...as for your request for more details to prove my credibility, you are free to believe what and who you want. Haven't we both believed the WT bull crap for a time?

There you go...Allowing your imagination to fill the gap...where did I say leukemia?
All my comment meant is that 15 years old want to live but they can be coerced by their parents to do as they are told not to displease them and "God".

People on this board are quick to correct others by spewing their wisdom on how one shouldn't give full credence to unsubstantiated...we weren't all born last night...
Adam, I was talking about the boy in my hall...I should know...both his dad and I held him when he died.

Adam, this is exactly the case with this boy. Doctors said he had a much greater chance to survive he was given blood treatment following intensive chemo and a bone marrow transplant. Nope said Jehovah...it will all be made better in the resurrection.

In our hall a 15 year old boy who wasn't yet a publisher and who barely commented more than a "yes" or "Jehovah" at meetings was coached by his parents to tell his doctors he didn't want any blood to treat his cancer. He got praises for his faithfulness by everyone in the congregation but he died...his parents consolation is that they're convinced blood wouldn't have saved him regardless...Any normal 15 year old would want doctors to do everything they can to save his life and still refuse treatment in fear of displeasing them...and Jehovah!

Isn't the new spin that newly annointed ones who's lives did not overlap with those who lived in 1914 are not part of the "generation"? Their definition of generation has already morphed into something else to revive a sense of urgency. When the current "generation" passes away they will turn on their new light once again...
