  A Comforting Thought About Watchtower

  by freemindfade in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this organization will never again be what it was by 2013-2014. .

  they peaked in the form they were, i believe they were already falling apart in ways, but from the outside and to the majority r&f, things likely still seemed on the up and up.

  browsing through the boards and just keeping my finger on the pulse of what's happening, this organization will never again be what it was.

  It would seem they lost their swarm mentality.

  That is such a good description!

  A most interesting Christmas present

  by JeffT in

  2. friends

  so our daughter gave my wife and i a very nice family album of photos from the course of the year.

  as we opened it, she said it had a surprise hidden in it, so we're watching for something to fall out.

  about 2/3 or the way through it we hit an ultrasound print of a tiny baby.

  Why Jehovah's Witnesses are WRONG about Christmas

  by David_Jay in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as you know (and are probably tired of hearing me repeat), i’m jewish.

  yes, i was a jehovah’s witness when i was a teenager and into my 20s, but returned to my roots and now celebrate chanukah when the holiday season comes around each year.. so why am i writing about christmas?

  well, that’s because i thought i would share something about how jehovah’s witnesses teach against christmas.

  dear friends,.

  once again my depression has got the better of me and i must bow out for a time.. "the angels sang glory to god in the highest and on earth peace unto men of goodwill'.

  so if that means at this special time of the year then have a happy and safe christmas time all of you.. hugs.

  Update to: As a Matter of Conscience, I Am Resigning from the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses

  by Sail Away in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i just had a two-hour doctor's appointment (treatment for branch retinal vein occlusion) that requires screenings, scans, dilation, anesthetic and injection, etc.

  this makes it necessary to spend a lot of time in the waiting room..

  my former p.o., book study conductor and later field service overseer was there and greeted me in a friendly way.

  There is a sub message these days among some of the brighter Witnesses to take a softer approach.

  It sounds like your friend is one of those who has internalized that message.

  Good for him and you. I hope it makes his life a little easier in the Org and it certainly made it easier for you!

  Hope your eye is doing well sailaway!

  Why do Jehovah’s Witnesses decline to exchange their Bible study aidsfor the religious literature of people they meet?
  {snipped}
  Hence, it is out of wisdom and respect for God’s counsel that Jehovah’s Witnesses do not make a practice of exchanging valuable Bible study aids containing Scriptural truth for religious literature that disseminates error or apostate views

  Respectively snipped for space...

  That last sentence in Blondies above post is the "out" that a JW can use if they want to defend what they read.

  It has to be a "practice" of it before the elders can attempt to do anything. Like so many non scriptural rules the JWs have "something"..... (anything really) can become wrong just by how many times you do it without being "wrong" in the singular form.
