i openly challenge any annointed ones to use the holy spirit to come find this ms still considered in good standing in my congregation, and remove me for waking up to your bs and cultish ways.
i no longer believe in your doctrine, history, or the claim you are guided by holy spirit.
prove me wrong and come get me!!.

I will narrow your search...i am in the USA!!
if we weren't invited, this is the "bragging" information we missed last saturday, oct. 22, 2011, at the zone meeting with tie-in from patterson, ny .
59 locations tied-in plus spanish.
anticipating 258,000 attendance from tickets given out.
These blowhards do nothing but keep statistics, but according to the questions from readers in the last study WT they have no way of knowing the exact number of annointed nor do they have any way to keep track, nor do they keep a network of annointed ones.
SUCH UTTER LIARS!!
Seems as though they get statisticly "mentally diseased" when it comes to the number of annointed.
do they tell you "legal requirements" of a df'd behavior?
like, you cant talk to anyone, if we hear of you talking to other members it will hurt your reinstatement, do they tell you to come late and leave early, do they tell you how to be reinstated, what kinds of things if any are covered after you are told you are being df'd????
do they tell you their basis (loose scriptural right) to take this action?

I want to know!!

More interested in hearing if they warn you about behaior that will affect length of time DF'd... Any experiences would be interesting.
the watchtower society is addicted to numbers and growth.
the problem is that their very existence is justified by a preaching work that is intended to result in growth.
other religions don't have that kind of pressure.
As of right now, im still an MS, but have made the determination to stop reporting. This last month report i didnt turn in, when my service group OS emailed, i said, "oh nothing to report this month", then added, "tell secretary to lie for me".
Wont be long they will be deleting me.........how sad for me i guess.....or not
i am in the uk.. i have an ex-jw relative in the usa.
he says that having lived ib both the uk and the usa that the jws are different from the uk to the usa.. how true could this be?.
at least int he area i grew up the term 'mother' for the organization is not familiar to me.
i heard an MTS grad / elder / COBE / friend say one time.."oh...you don't want to upset mother"...seemed kind of weird at the time, but now that im thinking clearly once again it is SO utterly offensive that men bow to other men in fear of reprisal around here. Then in turn this guy LOVES to make rules for everyone else and is SOOOO hung up on "modest dress" (only his view of modesty is correct). And YES, i HAVE heard MANY look down on others for only having a two door car...YUK!! Stupid people go so far to conform to others views "so as not to stumble one another". Glaring lack of faith if a small thing causes stumbling.
i posted a blog yesterday regarding some of the occult images used by the watchtower society.
i got an interesting response today from an apparent russellite.
i have never run into these people so i was surprised at his vehement defense of russell.
i like how inside the cover of each WT they say the rag has been published by JW's since 1879. JW's didn't exist in 1879. I began one of my service mtg parts noting this and got some heads to raise quickly!
ok, this hit me today...jw's teach its all about god's sovereignty and vindication of his name, satan challenged his sovereignty in garden of eden, also with job, he made the challenge job only served god because of everything god did good for him.
and to make our choice clear, he asks mankind to ...be wise my son and make my heart rejoice so that i may make a reply to him that is taunting me.... then, the next question is...didn't god basically take a bet????
wagered with mankinds lives??
The whole "Jehovah is proving Satan a liar" by letting him run roughshod over the world is such garbage. If I were Jehovah, Satan gets his ass kicked the second he starts messing with my creation.
But not the JW-Jehovah, he's just an impotent do-nothing who lets kids get raped in his org, and its just one big test to get into the magical eternal petting zoo.
RIGHT...! Also, its odd that Jw's teach God will intervene in mankinds affairs.....why not be proactive instead of reactive??? On one hand nothing is done to stop the mess Satan caused, yet some guys with primitive building skills at best start building a tower..."oh no we cant have that!!" i'll screw up their heads so they speak a new language....there that will fix em.... Jw's God has been very reactive instead of proactive it seems...your right, i make something that is a masterpiece...im gonna jealously defend its pristine state, no-one is gonna mess it up or they get their a** handed to them!

At the same time, if you get caught in a casino or playing the lottery, Jw's will DF you....hippo-critical?? it seems so to me....
when i was still serving as an elder in the late summer of 2006 in a congregation of jws in socal we received a letter from the "christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses" (read: the governing body) directing that anyone pursuing a higher education would be disqualified from privileges of service: elder, servant, pioneer, etc.
i remember this quite distinctly because i had just received by ba in education in june a few months before this.
in 2002, i had decided to pursue a degree under the society's then current "it's a personal decision" policy and was quite shocked at their drastic policy change.
we just had a young HS student appointed MS who makes no secret about pursuing a degree in electrical engineering...confuses the heck out of me....no not really just more hypocrisy which abounds in these parts....
