Dont' buy into "the end is near" excuse for staying in blatantly man- made organization. The primary quality of the true religion is love. See any here? How about in the doctrinal flip flops that cost many so dearly. Jesus last generation prophesy included the installation of the true religion. This isn't that generation. This isn't that religion. Get out any way which works for you.

I walked out of an Elder's Meeting
by AlmightyDog inwell here goes... i apologize in advance if this turns into a long and disjointed rant, but i just have to begin typing in order to keep from exploding.
i realize that what im about to say could seriously jeopardize my anonymity, but i think ive reached the point that i just dont care.
i want this to be over.. let me explain what caused me to rip up a letter and get up and walk out in the middle of an elders meeting two weekends ago.. our boe has been embroiled in a nasty fight for the past 2 years over a certain brothers business dealings.

For all you lurkers, super-fine witnesses & those on the fence. Defend your faith from those who ask it from you. Come on , we'll even let you count your time. We won't tell. But be warned. By the end of this thread, many will realize you have no valid claim. Hopefully, you do as thousands have already done & leave.

sd-7 does it not bother you that for such a momentous & important date in JW history Russell stole this from men who would today have been labeled as apostates? Or the fact that he embellished it with pagan emblems & ideas? Please don't waste time giving that lame "light gets brighter" crap. Certainly men who claim a direct channel to God would have been given this most important information directly. Or do you believe that holy spirit would purposely mislead his servants? This can't be true, as it violates the very core of Christianity, to love one another. Certainly we can't believe that God would mislead his true believers now can we?

Finally, at 59, I got my first. It's a traditional heart & ribbon with MOM on it. She died last year & held the party line that they were inappropriate. I'd like to think deep inside she'd of gotten a kick out of it. If you get one, spend some money on a nice one, it's going to be with you a while.

No, no, no. Again, you have let your apostate thinking lead you astray. It's not the toes. The toes are actually infected with athlete's foot! Everyone knows that all medications for athlete's foot require applying for 7 days. 7 days= 7 years. That means the end commeth in 2018. Lars would love my math.

The GB is caught on the horns of a dilemma. Out of one side of their mouths, they insist that they are God's only channel of truth. Out of the other side they admit they're imperfect. Thus the need for "new light". They may need new light but certainly God doesn't. So which is it? Did Jehovah intentionally mislead them even when it caused suffering & death? If that were true to any extent, he would have to violate his own principle of love. Or are they, as we have known all along, never God's "channel". They are indeed the real apostates, and as the Pharisees, worthy of permanent destruction. Sure going to miss the bullshit.

After the pregnant woman is Raptured on May 21st - what happens to her fetus?
by moshe inapparently, this has pregnant christians twisted in a knot trying to figure out how g-d will handle this paradox.
fetuses in heaven?
- or does g-d just let them die with the discarded human body left behind?.

This religion, like all religions, has some things that make sense. Those ideas & standards that I find harmonize with Bible principle, I have kept. The insidious thing about the WBTS that because of this, the R&F then buy the whole package. A clear case of " a little bit of knowledge being a dangerous thing."

Jehovah's witness meetings are NOT BORING......
by punkofnice in...i was told but they usually were as i look back.. as a lad i'd sit and look to see who the lights would fall on.
i'd get an almond and see how long i could suck it before i chewed at it.
i'd imagine playing rock'n'roll on the congregation's piano.. how did you get through the meetings when you were bored?.

My mother always made us sit up front. A friend of mine always sat ahead of us. One Sunday my brother noticed Billy snoring softly with his eyes open. We begged him to teach us how to do that. I asked his wife years later if he still does that. She said yes indeed. Now there's a talent I wish I had growing up.
