"Quoting Jehovah's feelings about the inactive"?
Really?
when it finally clicked,.
and you realized there was no 1914, there was no generation that would see the end of a wicked system, there was no paradise around the corner, .
what went through you mind?.
When it finally "clicked" for me, I told myself: You need to get your ass in school!
Within one year I was sitting in class at my state U.
Now I'm a FT student, graduating in spring 2017, and looking foward to the future.
..that the governing body are only in it for money and power?.
how many of you think the gb are all/some are sincere?.
okay, i know this has been asked before but i can't find the thread and there are newbies here.....and i like the sound of my own voice.
I don't think they do it for money or power.
I think they do what they do because they truly believe that CONTROL IS LOVE.
i'm fairly close to a source who would know.
.
and haven't heard anything indicating that.. but family said there was a pic of him on ig w/ his wife travelling to hawaii or something.. anyone know?.
RUNFOREVER - Awwww, come on now! We're discussing one of Christ's bruddas here!
STEVE2 - not at all verifiable. . . . Total rumor-mill crap.
SIR82 - Exactly what I was thinking. I've come to the conclusion that the average witness can't tell Jackson and Sanderson apart.
a member of the writing department was gracious enough to allow me to interview him about the "overlapping generation" doctrine.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eo1o5qmagu.
even if someone may have posted this, it's worth another post.. hilarious parody.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-kvrqwwgnq&feature=youtu.be.
Extraordinary!
worst day in the last ten years, was the day i hit 0.00 with one and a half years of university to go.
nobody to turn to, nobody to ask for help.
i was 32 and as an ex jw had two family members in contact with me.
for those still attending.
have you seen an excitement go through the dubs about the tim burton film big eyes?
they reckon it will give a "fine witness".. i've seen it and found it really irritating, basically margaret keane is such a timid mouse that she allows her husband to take all the credit for her work.
Wife and I watched the movie a couple weeks ago and thought it was interesting.
We both concluded that she went right from one controlling relationship into another.

Anyone know?
how many times have elders read their bible in its entirety?
these are the leaders that give counsel to married couples, to teenagers, to single girls and single boys on everything from marriage, education, sex, association, dress, and recreation..
how well do they know their bible?
For the Are the elders experts on the bible question: LOL!
Also, my personal experience. . . .
Well before my apostacy (we're talking over 15 years ago now), before I was appointed an elder, but well on the "elder track," I said to myself: I really want to know everything I can know about the bible so I can give an educated answer to whoever asks a question. I was especially interested in being able to explain "deep things" such as how 1914 was arrived at.
I bought a book dealing with the bible and archaeology. In it, I found a shocking error: that Babylon had sacked Jerusalem in 587 BCE! Further research at the library (and in the Insight book) revealed that ALL historians had been duped in to believing that this event happened in 587, and not 607BCE.
And in the back of my head, a little voice said, Well, if the date really was 587, then it is quite possible everything you believe is false!
So my cult self took that little voice in the back of my head into the woods and shot it.
