  the new "bible teach" book is out!

  thetruthbr has posted links for this and several other of the new publications.

  as an educator, i am very interested in where the society is heading with their alleged "bible education" program.

  I honestly believe they are going "lower in their simplified" versions of literature to avoid "independent thinking".... It makes sense the more "simplified spiritual food" the more stupid they want to keep us and it avoids good level smart individuals to "question" anything or do smart thinking and they want to avoid and not give room for people to think beyond what is printed.

  I believe that is why they will do away with the weekly bible reading to stop having people "express their own thoughts in the weekly bible reading of scriptures" in the TMS meetings. If i read it correctly with the new changes of this meeting this "wordbook" the letter reference talked abut questions being raised of the weekly bible reading and so you can find the answers. This is a perfect indication that no more freely "interpretting the scriptures" for yourself.... I commented a few times preparing my comments and all of a sudden I didn't get called anymore, hmmmm .... I found it very odd I don't get called on, now i don't raise my hand. I think they caught on, hey don't blame me I was trying to do some TTAT with my comments jejejejejeje

  i love the fact what he said about reading crises of conscious: if you read that book as a jw and still think the wt has the truth, something is wrong with you....the song played at the end is simply classic and very appropriate.

  John Aquila: the released letter no question is real, ceders just posted a video & article that he was contacted by a legal firm of WTBTS putting a compliant of copyright violation infringement on the letter leaked.... why else the WT will go this far if it wasn't true? They wouldn't

  John Aquila : ja jajajajaja that pretty much sums it ..... i think the spanish will turn a blind eye to TTAT, i really don't hear any getting DF or DA for "apostacy" in the spanish....i honestly believe the elders won't even know how to handle a JC for that.... one thing I've seen is a great Idea to do is when u submit a DA letter is to type/write ur letter behind the UN NATION certificate of confirming the WTBTS membership to the UN jajajajaja if it gets to that point for me I'll definitely will do that...

  ViDOIT: EXACTLYYYY JAJA, soo funny

  I think it will be classic many elders in sp speak eng so they would be exposed to it

  Crazy it's true in the spanish they are more embracing of WT changes, I find they have more of a loyalty to GB, just hearing their comments makes it clear, I think cause its embedded in their culture.... i will admit I wouldn't have come across TTATT if i only knew spanish... it's all translation it doesn't come across the same believe me I only came across it because of my experience with a JW person in my congregation, English is my first language & once I discovered things I literally went back to all the Eng watchtowers & read them to see what we're people talking about..... besides the older publications in the 1800-1900 can be found mostly in english..... people in the spanish are more socialists & many don't want to jepordize their social friends so they ignore anything negative, we have gatherings every weekend everyone is always invited with music & dancing, it's a fiesta each time especially after our mtgs, someone's house hosting & all bring spanish food, this is for hours

  If your Bethelite Brother Doesn't Know About It, It Musn't Be True

  by HomebytheSea in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  a few weeks ago my deeply indoctrinated father who is a long time elder was wondering why we hadn't been attending meetings, and why my 8 yr old son wasn't on the theocratic school ( sounds like i almost off the hook with that one...lol).

  we live in a different state, but i came to find out that one of the elders in our hall called my father, who he never met, to see why our meeting attendance had been so sporadic (i am in my mid-40's, so that knowledge made my blood boil, to put it mildly!

  i tried not to answer, but he kept pressuring me, so i brought up the arc and child abuse cases i had heard of in our area.

  Username could it be possible someone give it the watchtower as an inheritance? Remember they did make an announcement a while back that people can donate life insurance & assets, stocks, shares, bonds to WT, just a question

  Yup it's that easy to watch the GB, no need for "apostate" websites, heck all u have to watch is the royal comission ...... the great thing also is when you awaken is the liberation you feel, a heavy load u left behind, the heavy burden you keep feeling when your told each time at mtgs, etc you are not doing enough for Jehovah, they determine you weren't doing enough.... at that point I felt lighter & liberated ..... & most importantly the fear of men went away.... we are all truly blessed & i agree with Vinman this is a turning point for WT.... i read some comments on JWTALK abt halting construction was because they want to focus on preaching, so maybe the people leaving is way way higher in recent times & with a growth of 2.2 yearly they need more people coming in....only time will tell what happens

  Not sure if this one was posted before but I deeply resonate with her, because being the only witness in my family just shows how we were with the mindset of not allowing anyone take us away from the "truth" it's only the real truth that makes us make that decision not influence by anyone... i love this video as well

  Watch "Why I left Jehovah's Witnesses" on YouTube
