  "--want to survive Armageddon?-- the start partaking--

  by prologos in

  jesus: the gt will be cut short for the sake of the "chosen ones" the sealed anointed).

  unless those days are cut short no flesh will be saved.

  how can you be saved without being a chosen one, be a chosen one without partaking?.

  @ prologos. Sorry if I've appeared to derail your thread. Not quite au fait with etiquette. Was being drole towards myself. My brain is panicking. On seeing thread title instead of calming down and reasoning, I immediately started catastrophising. Thought maybe an active JW was posting on the thread with a warning. Maybe I should just go back to lurking. I'm not ready to go public possibly?

  Any one know Philip White? Both he and our recently ex CO (6 yrs. in total out of my life) contributed greatly to me opening my eyes. Also when a DO-Alastair Lambie (sp. ?). What a shower of O2 starved numpties.

  @ prologos. Initial reading of this thread registeted "start panicking" I chuckled to myself. Such is the level of indoctrination. There was a moment of dread when I realised I am making a huge huge mistake walking away from my life of 30+yrs. I feel silly, but need to get these thoughts out of my brain. Laugh with me please. Coz if you don't, I'll cry.

  peony....Hi, poor love. I've not attended a meeting since April and I peek around corners when out. I live in perpetual fear incase I meet them. A few weeks ago I wouldn't get out of the car because an elder/pioneer couple were in the same car park. My OH literally dragged me out of the passengers side saying "I'm not putting up with this". Unless you've been a part of the indoctrination, they just dont get it!

  What went wrong in your congregation?

  by The Rebel in

  the target is converts.. why does it seem such an outrageous aim for a congregation to recruit new converts?.

  in my old congregation, the enthusiasm was there but the knocking on doors produced zero " baptisms" in my final years.. a) why so little interests?.

  b) was it the internet ?.

  Just to answer a few ?? Not that I feel the need. Spent 30+yrs explaining myself to JW's/non JW's family. I'm inactive now since April. Not an idle bum lol! Have an extremely paranoid personality, so need to tred carefully. I'm learning French. My moniker was the most impersonal I could come up with, but summed me up at the moment. In retrospect I can see it might come across as pretentious, but its not in my nature to be so. It literally was a "light bulb" application. I was listening to Leona Lewis's new song. And voila!!
