I would be shocked too!

Maybe he forgot his phone or something and needed to grab it?

Hopefully that is the end of it!

So I am learning for the first time that it is a new teaching that the heavenly 144,000 will share in execution.

I always thought that their role was to be priests, kings and judges. In other words. part of the judiciary branch of this heavenly government

(to use their own explanation)

so now, the anointed are executioners?

I am not doubting but I wonder if anyone has a link to where this got announced because I didnt know this!

Kamikaze

by new boy in

friends

there are many people out there willing to die or kill for what they believe in.

i was one of those in my early twenties.

i was a self righteous pioneer and bethelite willing to die for what i thought was "the truth".

I have come to think that ANY belief system carried to the extreme can have a negative effect on others.

Balance is a good thing.

Some things lend themselves more to being unbalanced than others.

Religion is one of those things.

also there were some info about live stream.

any news about that..

millie210

I wonder if things are calm because they are tired?

Its just a bunch of old men who are not used to having to give much in the way of energy.

I think all the broadcasts and having to be having to be poster boys has proven to be tiring.

clearing out

sad days for me.

i have been doing the above and came across various notes letters i had kept down the years.

there were some letters from my mother.. some i have kept others were from beginning to end all wt dogma.

millie210

Im glad there are some letters you were able to keep zeb.

I have noticed some of my "in" family members seem to want to talk ONLY about things to do with religion now that I am out.

I think they think it is a way of witnessing ~~lecturing~~

How to Irritate JWs: The Catholic Way

by Hernandez in

what's the greatest advantage in becoming a roman catholic after leaving the jehovah's witnesses some 17 years ago?

why, it's the way it totally irritates people and really pushes their buttons...that is, if you are one of the unfortunate jehovah's witnesses who happens across my door during field service.

i have developed several techniques to make it very frustrating to the unwary witness who hopes to make headway at my house.

millie210

Hernandez I took your post in the spirit in which you meant it and loved it!

I think the concept of not taking ourselves too seriously is a great one.

Random Thought: Was Prince in good standing in the Org?

by HereIgo in

i find it hard to believe that the flamboyant grooming, earrings and heels would grant him positive status in the congregation.

it definitely wouldn't fly in my old cong in arizona.

he would been pulled in the b room rather fast.

There was also an announcement expressing sorrow over his death released by headquarters in New York wasnt there?

What's The First "Worldly" Thing You Did When You Exited The Cult?

by pale.emperor in

when you finally and officially exited the cult, whether it be by disfellowshipping, disassociating or fading - what was the first things you did that are considered "worldly"?.

for me, it was like crash landing on another planet that looked like earth but was completely different to the earth i knew.

i wanted to learn everything that i thought i already knew.. first things i did:.

millie210

I went to a biker bar with a disfellowhipped frend and her Harley riding brother and played pool.

Such nice people and an easy going group.

Most fun I'd had in forever.

The End is near!..for my great, great,great grandfather...

by TTWSYF in

so it occurred to me how crazy the wts is and has been.. if i am 25 years old and my parents had me when they were 25, my grandparents were 25 when they had my parents, and their parents were 25 and so on and we were witnesses, what would we think?.

my point?.

my great, great, great grandparents were around 25 years old when the judge was promoting the end of times in the 1870s.

millie210

I get the intent you are stating TTWSFY.

You raise a good question as to what we tell our own young people.

I guess we can learn from the past and at the very least not repeat the mistakes of our loved ones who went before us.

Thanks for your thought provoking post!
