i don't know if this has already been posted (as i don't visit as much anymore).
the wts has changed the info in the faq section of their media site,
http://www.jw-media.org/beliefs/beliefsfaq.htm
Clearly the public is not going to understand the difference between someone who "simply leaves the faith" and someone who has disassociated themselves. How does one simply leave the wts if not by disassociation?
But let's take them at their word. Disassociation is simply leaving the faith. Those who simply leave the faith are not shunned. [This is actually a revisiting of their former position.]
In my letter I made it clear that I was ceasing to be a member of the wts but not ceasing my relationship with Jehovah and Christ Jesus, nor was I ceasing my relationship with my friends and relatives who were still members of the wts.

hi,.
i'm hoping someone can help me.. i'm trying to find quotes from the watchtower publications talking about how the catholics are following men instead of jesus, and how they almost worship the pope, basically any quotes like that where the society condemns the catholics for the same thing the dubs do with the governing body.. thanks :-)
is fish not meat???
Libby
how's the weekend goin'?
been too busy to think on really serious things?
that's good, because this poll doesn't require too much thinking!!
Bible trained, spirit directed.

if you did not still have some kind of umbilical connection to jehovah's witnesses, you would not have to keep posting here.. i hope you all appreciate my opinion of you, as well as of simon.
there's lots of the world to be experienced out of this freaking site.
Umbilical? as in receiving nourishment? not from the wts.
I kinda look on it as the VFW, veterans of foreign wars. They still meet and keep in touch but they sure wouldn't want to be back in the war. They show family and friends war scars and medals, and share war stories over and over again.
It's an experience we all went through, like high school maybe, only worse, [if that's possible] but we keep in touch and go to reunions. It's a part of our lives but it's not our life.

i don't know if this has been posted before but i thought it was pretty funny .
Great photo.
Anybody notice....NO SMILES. No happy faces. Where are Jehovah's happy people?
Libby
[outta the org, that's where]
Any chance of getting the whole km on line?
Thanks,
Libby
Thanks for scanning this.
#2 "confidential information released at Kingdom Ministry Schools"??????
#6 weren't we supposed to ask for donations? just because it's offered on the internet doesn't mean a donation shouldn't be requested
It's another cult tactic of information control, no doubt about that.
Couldn't help reading over the presentations to the right. Heads up householders, your response is not important [Allow for response.] they're going to continue anyway.

ps when what's-his-name died at a convention [in Hawaii?] I learned about it first on the internet and called my brother [elder & PO] about it -- his smug reply was that he already knew and made me feel like there was something wrong with my knowing about it or telling about it -- why hadn't he told me? I thought we were 'one big happy family' -- he hadn't even told his own wife. What was the big secret???
