  Rumor about the Imitate Jesus Convention

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i saw a rumor a few weeks ago on reddit that the new imitate jesus convention is supposed to present new light and clarified understandings on the disfellowshipping/disassociation practices.. supposedly, if this rumor has any truth to it, there will be a talk given at the convention about how we should not be strict like the pharisees in how we shun people, loosening up some of the jw rules about this practice.. has anyone here heard anything about this or have more info on it?.

  Nope. Never gonna happen. Cults never forfeit. DFing gives them the upper hand. Why would they ever give up such an advantage?

  I asked where is the proof?

  by disillusioned 2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  arguing with my husband again, i asked where is the proof that jesus looked down on earth in 1919 and chose a small group of bible students in america apart from them saying it in their magazines.

  also where is the proof that satan and his demons were cast down in 1914 just because first world war started.

  neither of these things are in the bible only in their magazines.

  Lol! Nice strategy: go after you personally and altogether ignore your valid questions.

  Why I remain one of Jehovah's Witnesses

  by Brother Jeramy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  allow me to begin with a clarification: when i say i am one of jehovah's witnesses, i don't mean that i am an advocate of the watchtower society or a devotee of some of its more controversial false teachings.

  i mean that i am a christian, a disciple of jesus christ dedicated to jehovah god, and who remains in union with my brothers and sisters who make up the family of faith that globally refers to itself as jehovah's witnesses.

  some totally understand the distinction between the family of brothers and sisters and the corporate organization known as the watchtower society (wts).

  No, it's ALL wrong. Keep researching.

  And "brainwashing" is 100% accurate.

  And in their newest publications & DVDs, they only focus on the few times they said "...MAY never die."

  They never refer to "WILL never die." Go see for yourself.

  Seems very easy to leave now, why do people hesitate?

  by Xanthippe in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i see people on here saying they've looked on several sites before this one, jwfacts, jwstruggle, youtube, etc., and then they make friends here, sometimes meeting up with ex-jws, it seems incredibly easy compared to leaving in 1989. .

  no internet, no amazon to find ex-jw books, no facebook to link up with ex-jw groups.

  still people find it so hard to leave.

  Preserving family. It's as simple as that. This f**king cult uses this as a weapon. It doesn't matter how available information is, the consequences are exactly the same.

  Are Jehovah`s Witnesses a CULT?

  by Driving Force in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  steven hassen is a well known name for many, if you do not know him google can help.

  this information is certainly not new, but as almost every exjw has deep affection and concern for active jws it is certainly my wish and i hope the wish of other exjws that any active jw considers this information.

  this information cannot be deemed as apostate, it is just stating the opinion of someone who has spent much of his adult life in helping people to realize what a cult is.

  Dating

  2. relationships

  i have been brought up as a jehovah witness and want to date this boy who isn't a jehovah's witness.

  we have talked about the trials we could go through and i was wondering because i am a unbaptised publisher could i date him without any consequences?

  They most certainly can and do give "marking" talks about unbaptized publishers/non-publishers. I've seen it about 5 times. They do all but say your name.

  I'm not trying to scare you--by all means, do what makes you happiest. But since they cannot DF you, this is the best jab they can make. It's a way to engage the pre-shunning practice. Even tho you're technically not baptized, most will still treat you as if you're DF'ed or reproved anyway.

  This can happen simply for dating. You don't even have to engage in anything "sinful." When they find out (and they will), they will strongly encourage you to break it off with this boy and if you don't, you can expect a marking talk and your name announced as "no longer an unbaptized publisher."

  It's tough, I know! Hang in there. Do what's best for YOU in YOUR current situation. If your family would still be loving & supportive, that would make things easy for you. If they'd clamp down & make your life miserable until you're 18 (when they can kick you out), that's also worth considering. Is this relationship worth all that extra stress?

  If you do intend to make your intentions known as a minor, I highly recommend that you think about your future. If you want to go to college or trade school, that would be extremely difficult if you were sent away on your 18th birthday. So again, weigh all the options and do what's best for YOU. That includes long-term goals. Don't put those in jeopardy unless you're really sure about the decision.

  Is this going to be a thing all JWs are expected to sign? Because there is no way I'm letting a bunch of old fat disciplinarians snort thru my medical records--blood issue or not. I have certain things in my med history no one knows about and I'll be damned if they think they're entitled to see it.
