"Pray Anytime" - The Watchtower has a hit!

by donuthole in

jw
friends

i was browsing youtube and it was interesting to see lots of jw covering the new caleb/sophia song "pray anytime".

they need to add this to the songbook.

I posted a positive comment on her video, and I meant what I said.

To me that is all I need to do- if she wants to click over to my channel or to Cedars then she can and perhaps she will become a more open-minded person as a result.

Just by showing the Dubbs that we of the "dissenting class" (lol) are not crazy bug-eyed apostates could be the simplest way to erode their faith in the WT.

Infographic on the March 2013 Awake

by RayPublisher in

the watchtower has chided its members repeatedly for many years about not reading anything it deems unsuitable, especially when it is composed by former members.. interestingly, the new march 2013 awake magazine pages 10-11 has an article about a woman that studied and then converted from judaism to jehovah's witnesses.

there are three key points in the article that actually encourage those with discernment to go against the watchtower ban on books written by those with dissenting views.

@ Blues Brother - Oops it is May duhhh.

“aren’t you being ignorant, expressing an opinion on something you know nothing about?”

His words cut deeply, for I had always considered it foolish to give opinions blindly "

By their own words they condemn themselves yet again...

Seven Thousand Year Creative Day still being taught (as of 2005)

by VM44 in

here is a photo of a gilead instructor (br.

liverance) teaching a class on chronology.. the photo appears in a blog entry dated 5-21-2005.. note the "6,000" and "1,000" periods in the timeline drawn on the whiteboard.. i thought the 7,000 year creative day was no longer taught, but apparently it still is at gilead, at least in the year 2005.. (picture cannot be embedded here for some reason, so here is the link to it).

Well I heard something really amazing about this a couple years ago you can take it for what it's worth:

When the Aid book was being revised and transformed into the Insight book, the main brother editing the job saw the 7,000 year creative day thing and traced it back to a Jewish rabbi that taught that. He called the head of writing and said that's where this 7,000 year creative day idea comes from, and I think we should drop this- it's gotta go.

And he agreed and so they did. These two brothers right then and there snipped it out and also it was taken out of the SI book (All Scriptures) around the same time, which would have been late 1980s when the Insight books came out.

Update on "DA'd/DF'd"...

by Suraj Khan in

since many of you were kind enough to give your responses, or at least share in my confusion, i wanted to take some time to share things that went down in the last few days in my family.. to recap, i was born-in but thankfully the hogwash never took.

i was actively dodging meetings by age 13 by faking illness, usually missing 20 to 25 days of school per year.

i left my family to attend college and was told by a family member that an announcement was made in my local congregation the following year that i was disassociated.

@ Suraj Khan - Keep cleaning the WT junk out of your head bro. Commenting here will help a lot- it sure has for me over the last couple of years.

@ Data-Dog - Yeah I thought as much-- could be a total fake at the worst, definitely at least a s t r e t c h of how it really happened.
