  Email from JW relative/elder

  as much as i enjoy you and pete's company, you also know our understanding of how much we want you to be reunited with jehovah and his people.. .

  we did not set the standards for what jehovah says about our associations with those who choose to not serve him.

  so we will always be there for you and pete, but it is in your hands as to how we can enjoy your friendship.. .

  Yesterday's Watchtower Study (from October issue) "Stay Faithful Through the Gt. Tribulation"

  by BluesBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this article has all the trappings of wts apocalyptic theology, doom and destruction for "the world" salvation into paradise for the faithful .a schedule of future events is described thus :.

  1) a worldwide proclamation of peace and security.

  2) the destruction of "babylon the great"......it confidently names the characters from this visionary biblical reference, without any supporting reasons.. 3)the nations will then , as gog of magog , attack the wts and the members .

  Loved Mr. Rogers! He was a kind and compassionate man who really advocated for children. He is a great example of what a Christian should really be. He practiced what he preached. The world lost someone very special when he died.

  When was it time for you to walk away from your congregation meetings and the WTBTS?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the basic virtue for a human being is to be true to yourself – the integrity of thought, emotion, and action.. .

  ten years ago ( after 32 years as a jehovah's witness), i finally decided that my own mental sanity and being true to myself was more important than attending congregation meetings and serving the watchtower society.

  i stopped (years before) field service, the ministry school, answering at the watchtower studies, missed numerous meetings and walked in minutes before the meetings started and left after the closing prayer, i knew it was time to leave.

  How Much of the WT Teaching Did You Believe?

  by Ding in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  some people on this forum have said that they never really believed any aspect of wt teaching, that they couldn't wait to get free of it all.. others seems to have been really gung ho, believing it all until something happened that got you questioning "the truth.".

  i would say my own high water mark was about 50%, which put me squarely on the fence, trying to decide if i should be in or out.. how about you?.

  Started as a true believer since I was raised in it. Over the years, questions would pop in my mind that I couldn’t answer and I’d shelve them. The shelf broke eventually.

  This photo perfectly illustrates what these conventions are actually like. Draining and boring as hell.

  i haven’t been to a meeting in months.

  i don’t know her beyond her face.

  She’s doing this probably because she is concerned about you. I would ignore it and if you happen to see or talk to her just tell her you appreciate the card and you’re doing fine. 🙂. I don’t blame you for being annoyed though. I would be too.

  If I was still PIMI, I'd be terrified

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just looking at the pictures in tomorrow's wt study makes me think of the nightmares i used to have as a child.

  and nowadays the pictures are sometimes more realistic, so for any who are truly mentally in, this has a terrible effect on them and even their life choices.

  looking in as a pimo or pomo it seems almost comical that adults would believe in this sci-fi bible fan-fiction, but it's not funny when we remember that all ages of the r&f are being manipulated by the gb by these cheap and evil means.. .

  That poor little boy looks miserable. This takes me back to when I was a kid and I was going door to door with my mom and she’s told me to smile because I didn’t look happy. Apparently my face reflected how I felt about going in the ministry 😂
