Who Qualifies for TTATT?

by John Aquila in

when i first learn ttatt i started telling every one.

ttatt will not help him, it will destroy him.

all his family are jws.

I agree with John Aquila too there are many who don't qualify but definitely children do... little by little i have been reasoning with my child about it... recently he was talking abt a girl he likes in school & asked me "mommy does she have to be a JW"& i said " bebé do you think it matters to God that she isn't a JW or that she believes In Him & in Jesus?" Of course he responded the latter, kids are smart they are just used to a routine & need to fill the void with other Activities like sports, etc

heartbroken and not sure what to do...

by Khaleesi in

i don't know what to do.... i married last year and things have been very rocky.

we dated for 4 years and did have normal issues but always had a lingering doubt something was just not right in our relationship-behavior to be more specific, he is not a jw, but i am.

yes i know i married outside the "lord" but after my first marriage to a jw ended in divorce for physical abuse, i was glad i didn't married another jw.

JW Sister: raped, pregnant what does she do?, abortion or adoption?

by Olivia Wilde in

this question came out frequently from a situation known to some of us who knew of 2 cases.... if a single or married sister gets rapped by stranger or incest, a pregnancy results, she is not allowed to have an abortion but neither is she allowed to give it up for adoption?...i always question why not up for adoption?...

no you will be blood guilty because the child won't be raised in the "truth"... hmmmmm does anyone heard of that?

is it a matter of consciousness?

Olivia Wilde

committeechairman: Yes that was the issue, in both cases they were told they cannot put the child for adoption, one had an unbelieving husband and felt the org/elders had no business determining family matters. The poor sister was torn in too, she couldn't keep the baby due to being soo traumatized and wanted to give it up for adoption because she wanted the baby to have a better home environment. The husband was going to leave her, so if you can find it please send!!!

i need some advice

by SpunkedTeen in

yesterday i finally confronted my mom with my research about the wtbts being registered with the un as a ngo for ten years.she didn't get angry at all but she says she doesn't want to doubt the organization, i asked her if she realizes that if this is true what it means and she replied by saying she believes she has found the truth and that satan wants me to turn away from the organization.she also said that apostates make these very clever looking articles to lure us away.i told her that i avoided all apostate websites(which i did) and went straight to the un which confirmed it.i asked her to do her own research on the matter but she refuses to saying she is not going to live her life having doubts about the borg.

i don't think i can wake her up ,especially if she doesn't even want to think that the organization is not "god's earthly organization".. i was thinking that now that she knows about my doubts i can disassociate myself but as i only turned 18 this week and have nowhere to go if she kicks me out the house(my entire family are j-dubs) i don't know what to do to move forward from this point .do any of you have any advice for me ?

thanks in advance..

Olivia Wilde

spunkedTeen: like the other posters said the best thing is to leave the research alone for the time being.... You don't want to risk anyone turning you in to the Elders (that includes your friends in the org. even when you think they are your best friends they will turn you in for your doubts no one keeps that quiet so becareful) and get DF and having to be forced to leave home without you being prepared for it.... Hope you decide what is best for you and focus on your future.

Use your time wisely and plan to go to a college or university if you can while living at home to get your feet prepared for the real life outside the Organization.

You can't convince anyone about your research no matter how many facts you show them, the mind is a powerful thing and your Mom invested time/years in the WT and just by her comments gives you a clear clue she won't doubt this org. This organization teaches that if you have "doubts" you are weak and allowing room for "Satan".

It's a great thing you discovered this at a young age because you won't waste years in the WT since they don't like higher education, but rather earn yourself a good education, good job and great future. Just think by 22-23 you would be able to finish a career and find a good job, those are years you won't get back if you spend them like this Org wants you too... What age did you get baptized?

CO just confirmed worldwide construction halt and possible JW.ORG news of it

by LevelThePlayingField in

just had the co visit tonight.

i asked him if he had heard about the worldwide halt of construction besides warwick and to my surprise he said he heard the same thing.

then he went on and add that also some branches are closing and some bethelites going into pioneering but, "all because of the preaching work now.

Olivia Wilde

I wonder if it's a strategy, saying "brothers we had to stop construction because Jehovah is showing & revealing to us we need to focus more on the preaching work, we had to send construction brothers home to focus on preaching since now is the time the work is more urgent than ever since the workers are few for the work & Jesus told us to ask the Father for more workers".... in other words "we notice alot of jws are awakening, leaving & need to recruit more people= more funds" wonder if we they will repeat the 70s....

So changes were made, but who cares because were so deep into the end, nothing the Organization does, really matters—does it?

by John Aquila in

so i called a few jwdubs that still talk to me, not to try to convince them of anything or wake them up but to try to get a feedback on how they took the big meeting change and other announcements.

generally speaking, all the ones i talked to were not even fazed by the changes.

many of them still didnt even realize the meeting format had changed and thought the layoffs were a normal thing that happens all the time.

Olivia Wilde

He said that the changes for the Israelites were very frightening, nerve-racking, petrifying. They moved from one place to another at the spur of the moment. The changes from one camp to another were never explained to the Israelites . Jehovah just moved the cloud and the Israelites didn’t question it, even if it looked ridiculous and stupid from a human standpoint.

“They just obeyed”

They forgot to read Jesus words in Mathew 24:31-32 "But immediately after the tribulation of those days THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT, AND THE STARS WILL FALL from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30"And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory. 31"And He will send forth His angels with A GREAT TRUMPET and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other"".

Jesus will send the Angels giving us the instructions (he has a whole legion of angels at his command) and there will be no question in our hearts to seek the warnings, just like Jehovah gave the Israelites the signs.......A manmade organization made up of imperfect men giving us the instructions and must obey regardless if they seem "logical from a Human standpoint"????? HA!!! Yeah tell that to the Jonestown people, the Branch Davidians from Waco Texas and the Heaven's Gate people........

Arrogance...Can't believe how much They insult the Almighty God's and Jesus intelligence that they would need imperfect false prophet HUMANS to carry out the REAL WORK!!
