  shunning wrecks families

  by bigmac in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  thread started to avoid going off topic elsewhere.. this matter of shunning---my story.. i made the decision to resign from the jw religion in my early twenties--i'm 65 now.

  i knew i would never deny any of mine a blood transfusion--just to appease this religion --and its deity.. my jw wife had just had our first child--a girl---and we went on over the next 7 years to have 2 more planned for kids---both boys.

  i like to think i was a good dad--they meant everything to me.. i hold up my hand and admit i caused the break up of that marriage---my wife stayed in the religion--and--apparently it was announced in the kh i couldnt be d/f'd---as i hadnt been a jw for years---so they said i was an apostate.. fast forward a few years--into the mid 80's---i had remarried--and led a relatively normal life.

  The Apostate Boogeyman

  by RayPublisher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  londo has written a great article (imo) about how apostates are a figment of the jw imagination, fomented and concocted by none other than the watchtower.

  not necessarily the dictionary definition of the word apostate, which simply means a person who leaves their religion, for by that definition everyone who leaves any religion to become a jw is an apostate.

  no, it is jw conception of the apostate, both as an individual and as a group that is imaginary.. .

  I just got into a friendly but heated debate with the person from facebook. I could easily make an entire post about it lol...

  Some choice quotes from the exchange:

  "I don't remember them teaching that. So again it's just some bad ppl in the organization, just as any other."

  "I've been out for over 5 years so I'm good but I don't feel the need to slander them."

  Out for 5 years, but mentally.... STILL IN!

  Freddy Franz Wowzers Talk on 1975

  by frankiespeakin in

  personally i think this guy has a great lack of reading comprehension skills, especially when it come to reading the bible and seeing prohecies where there ain't any.

  he absolutely nuts in the way he reads and interpets the bible:.

  Tsk Tsk they are not supposed to be making these available online to just anyone they are breaking a rule of their GB masters...

  (BTW looking down this list it is amazing how many of these I heard over the years. Floyd Kite, Eric Beveridge, Colin Quackenbush, Lee Waters, Dan Sydlick, et al, I looked up to these guys thought they were friggin rock stars and collected these talks on cassette tapes back in the day...geez what bullcrap it is now)

  If the Governing Body is misleading you---WHO is misleading them??

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah's witnesses are expected to prove their loyalty to the organization by believing and practicing what they are told.. does this lead to success or failure?.

  ask the thousands of loyal believers who were led to expect armageddon in 1914, 1925, 1975!.

  these were failures.
