  Fish in the sand and dove leaving the WT

  by dissonance_resolved in

  2. friends

  so i've been pondering that there must be quite a few active jws out there who are conscious/awakened/lurking, but it's so risky to ask questions to find out they are.

  i'm sure this isn't anywhere in the watchtower, but i've read that early christians had the secret symbol of the fish to help identify friends, i.e.

  drawing a fish in the sand would secretly identify someone as being a christian.

  I wrote an article on this notion of secret handshakes and such a while back:

  Let's be positive!!!

  Thanks dissonance_resolved for the idea I'm in!

  Very powerful. Good acting, and the piano music is perfect. People get lulled to sleep about the horrors of child abuse but films like this should keep it at the forefront of today's issues!

  Elder and MS Extortion!

  the elders and ministerial servants at my hall were asked to attend a strange meeting last night.

  the society is asking for our help to raise $10,200.

  they are seeking to raise this money in april from elders and ministerial servants in our circuit only.

  JW07 - That happened twice to me during the time I was an elder. Both times were local not circuit-wide though. They had a meeting of all the elders in a double KH with 7 congregations and said they were asking US for $$$ bc of a "pressing need" related to building a new assembly hall. It felt like a shake down at the time...and I was a total drone for the WT then!

  Thanks for posting BlindersOff1! The video is about how those in the military have a hard time getting back into society and being "normal". Sound familiar??

  My friend Teresa is a very gifted counselor and wants to help which is why I interviewed her. Hopefully there will be more to come on this resource.

  It seems like much ado about nothing that's only IMO...

  He didn't know the word, guessed what it meant, and then apologized after he was corrected...

  Am speaking with him now- Gregg is mostly concerned about the grieving and loss to his children, since it is the mother of his children that has died suddenly. He wants to comfort them and pay his respects to her, but they are shutting him out due to his leaving the JWs of course.

  He is going to try and attend the funeral, which of course will be painful and difficult as many will no doubt shun him even though he has never been DFed...but he has outspokenly told many that he does not believe the same as the Watchtower.

  JW Apologists on YouTube and the Net becoming bolder

  by RayPublisher in

  2. beliefs

  is it just me or are we seeing more and more of these guys?.

  i have been having some extraordinary conversations with these folks lately and they are actually holding lengthy dialogues with me, one who has become "dangerous", is "poisonous", a "slanderer", etc.

  according to wt.. here is one exchange from yesterday and today with a jw apologist who calls himself "warriorprince101010" who decided to call me the dreaded "a" word on one of my videos, stating that i was a "bitter apostate":.

  ADCMS - I know that most will not be honest enough to let TTATT in...but some will and some have.

  If I reach one of them, and they reach one, and they reach one...ad infinitum!
