  Please Respond To Survey! 25 more needed please.

  by Big Jim in

  it seems like to me the majority of people who are in the truth, are were in the truth was a result of either a family member are a friend witnessing to them and not many seem to have been found in the door to door work.. from my years of associating with the borg i cannot recall many coming in the truth from the door to door work.. how were you sucked in?

  for me it was my aunt who has now even though i am not disfellowshipped decided to write me out of her will to the tune of about $150,000.00 (maybe i should hang around a couple more years)dont think i will.. please respond .

  thanks.

  Hello Big Jim,

  just for your survey:

  - not by door to door witnessing!

  I do know personally many more, the same way:

  ***informal witnessing.

  'Changes That Disturb People' Awake 4/22/70

  by ISP in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the reasons is that people are disturbed by what is happening in their churches.

  yes, millions of persons have been shocked to learn that things they were taught as being vital for salvation are now considered by their church to be wrong.

  have you, too, felt discouragement, or even despair, because of what is happening in your church?

  Subtle Propaganda at DC -but Noticeable To Us

  by Had Enough in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as ive mentioned in other posts, i felt obligated to go to the dc (in hamilton) this weekend to help my family with my aging mom, who in my opinion just goes for the social outing because she is physically not able to stay awake for more that 1/5 th of the whole sessions except intermissions.. i know others have posted their observations of the dc they attended but id like to make an addition from things that just jumped right out at me and made me go argggghhhhh!.

  and btw....i felt some of the comments made seemed to be as though they were answering their justification of some of the things being brought out on the internet, including here.. on friday, even in talks that were not about higher education, they managed to slip in their subtle propaganda, as in:.

  - bob alton, said peter and john were outspoken about gods word and were unlettered and ordinary men they didnt need higher education to speak wondrous things of god.

  Hello everyone,

  a good post. I think one of the latest
  informations comes from the km/ june 2001 pp. 3-6, " Can you
  make yourself avalaible?" and it deals mainly, with the work
  at the Bethel,...blessing of Bethel service, requirements
  for Bethel service, Current needs " primarily for single
  brothers" etc. etc.

  A very interesting one,

  by jnc in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  would appreciate any info or experiences on this subject.... a brother is disfellowshipped, 2 years later reinstated, five years later disfellowshipped again, immorality, 4 years later reinstated, becomes elder, 8 years later runs off with pioneer 16 yr old , divorces wife , dumps girl, remarrys 5 years later, appointed elder again, i believe due to the buddy system, how many times do'es a person have to be disfellowshipped before they say no to any priveledges let alone being an elder again ?

  Hello Cornish,

  in few words...a logical observation,
  but you also know how WTS acts today towards those who
  " openly dissent " about their teachings

  i recieved this in my e-mail this morning.

  i love the last paragraph!

  it seems that these ones feel most jws aren't worth talking to as far as spiritual maturity is concerned.

  Hello Lindy,

  thanks for passing the information.
  Just a brief comment:

  **most of us have already access
  to the many "online" works of C.T.Russell, plus the
  many "online"copies of various earlier publications
  and this not few pages but ALL!

  **Then according to the statement when one needs to
  go deeper, to search for more has all the tools
  avalaible.

  ***Not to forget that , vast numbers of publications
  of earlier times i.e. Bible Students, J.F.Rutherford
  are no longer considered " the present truth ".

  2. friends

  are former elders the same as nazi war criminals?

  background in a thread by poster on h20 who went by the moniker todd commented on my justice #6 posted on h20.

  todd referred to jw elders, and to me, as being no better than a nazi thug.
