  Something like 'Oh no we never said that. Some in those days misunderstood.'

  Basically repeating words they have said many times before.

  Rattigan350 said: "The writer is long dead."

  It doesn't matter since the writer was expressing the ideas of an organization, a dishonest religious organization, that had taught similar dishonesties long before 1969, and has done so since.

  Rattigan350 said: "So what is the point of beating a dead horse on and on?"

  It's not a dead horse at all because the Watchtower Organization continues to preach on and on about how armageddon and the end of the world are 'oh so close, it's just around the corner, could be any day now.'

  Rattigan350 said: "That writer is not currently writing for the WTS."

  This doesn't matter either, since the WTS continues to publish the same nonsense using different writers - although they are a little less specific now, which leaves more room for deniability when it will be needed later.

  Rattigan350 said: "Please stop talking about the 1969 Awake article."

  Of course the Watchtower Organization would love that, because the 1969 Awake article proves that the biggest enemy of Jehovah's Witnesses today is their own literature.

  Ding said: "Also, the people who wrote the Bible have been dead for nearly 2000 years. Should we ignore that also?"

  Thumbs up to that, Ding!!!

  2. experiences

  i'm new here and i have perhaps an unusual question.

  it's just something that i would like to know from ex's or formers rather than from other jehovah's witnesses.

  but i would like to know what your experience and your struggle was for former jws who were gay when they were jws.

  " I never did think it right that JW expected others to read their tracts, but wouldn't accept other religions tracts. ( I took their tracts-thought it rude not to. )"

  Good for you! I too was bothered by the fact that we expect others to take JW literature but we had to reject theirs. What a tremendous double standard. Now I see it as information control from a very controlling religious organization.

  My conclusion on the matter

  by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  after being brought up a jw, going to mts, bethel, pioneer school multiple times, serving in foreign assignments and having been an elder for decades my conclusion is that i am now pima, physically in mentally agnostic.. agnostic means you think it can’t be proven either way creation or evolution.

  i do tend to lean towards evolution but creation at the very start because you can’t get life from dead matter.

  but i’m open to the possibility of chance theory at the origin of it all.

  jesus never demanded "subsidies" from the government to share truth.

  wtbt$ leaders love the god of their bellies/selfishdesires - having others provide communes for them in opposition to christ's direction.. .

  Hypocrites!

  As J.T. and Lady Cee (Youtube) like to accurately say, "Nobody does hypocrisy like Jehovah's Witnesses."

  this is going to break the hearts of a lot of uber-jw's!

  reddit has now removed the video link of samuel herd telling jw's they will no longer have to report time or placements - just tick a box which says "active.".

  I think there is about to be a major increase in the Jehovah's Witness organization.

  You don't have to go door to door, or take part in the cart work - all you have to do now is check a box that says you took part in some part of the ministry, a simple passing remark to someone would qualify you to check that box.

  Hours will go down but they aren't counted anymore anyway, however the number of publishers will sky rocket!

  It's so easy to be a publisher now.

  Of course the Organization will advertise that increase and say 'Look how Jehovah is blessing his spirit directed organization on earth today.'
