  So who is going to do some kind of protest next Sunday?

  by serenitynow! in

  2. friends

  next sunday is the discussion of the 7/15/2011 wt article about shunning.

  i am planning to stand outside of a kh on a major street with a big banner that says that the jws do indeed destroy families with their shunning policy.

  i will have many copies of the article that will be discussed that day.. anyone else have any plans?.

  hi, long time no see.

  i am finally out of the borg.

  had a talk with an elder-friend-family member today who said i should just do it if that's what i want to do, and my wife says if that's what i want to do that she's fine with it.

  The evolution of the WT tyrant...

  by Aussie Oz in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  musing the other day...this is my take on the evolution of the watchtower.. once upon a time, i am sure old charles really was a believer...i reckon he probably still was when he died in his toga too, although perhaps somewhat befuddled that his cherished predictions were as successful as 'father' miller's were.

  and by then he seemed to have inadvertantly started a sort of non organized organization that he could hide the $$ that came his way as a sort of bonus from the lord.. perhaps rutherford, i should say,''rogueford'', was a believer too at some point.

  but some time after russel booted him out of bethel his inner killer instinct surfaced...waiting for the old man to pop his clogs.

  Hello all

  by Theredeemer in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after many years of visiting this site off and on since its inception i would finally like to throw in my two cents and opinions into the mix.. first of all, i am a born in, baptized at the tender age of 9. although i totally disagree with allowing someone at that age to get baptized, i will say that i was very imformed and i knew my dogma!

  at the same time, though, i was aware of many inconsistancies with many of the beliefs and practices of the jw faith.

  i was adopted by my grandparents since i was 2 months and they had been jws since 1950s.

  Am I on thin ice with my friend?

  by cedars in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm a former mts graduate, and it's a long story but i recently became inactive after realising it was all nonsense.

  the problem is, i've noticed that my mts background makes it almost impossible for people to accept my new status as an "inactive" one.

  people think that, given the amount of knowledge i have, there is surely no excuse for me to reach this preposterous decision.. a friend from my mts recently began emailing me to find out my reasons.

  it's quite simply: rebaptism.

  Tower of Babel built by Babies!

  by Billy the Ex-Bethelite in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the weekly tms bible reading assignment is not read, or not carefully read, by most of the sheeples.

  it doesn't really matter, because the consideration of the bible reading material is one of the shortest parts on the meeting with a limited number of comments, and those comments are restricted to less than 30 seconds or you will get counselled.

  over and over, the dubs are told to read the bible, yet the organization gives no real encouragement to read the bible by keeping everyone busy in the recruiting work and using relatively few scriptures in their "talks".. why?

  Prediction of large drop in JW numbers in 2014

  by VM44 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am going to make the prediction, here and now in mid 2006, that there will be a significant drop in the number of jehovah's witnesses in the year 2014, the one hundredth anniversary of 1914.. the only way this drop in numbers might be avoided is if the watchtower society can think up some way to stir up the rank and file and get them motivated to do more, like they did with the 1975 fiasco.. .

  i doubt very much that the watchtower magazine is going to proclaim loudly in the year 2014 anything about the "generation of 1914" not passing away.. --vm44

  What will you do to celebrate Oct 2 2014?

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  like most people reading this, i was convinced that by 2014 the new system would 'definitely' have been operating for at least a decade.

  now that i know this is not going to be the case i am going to have to think of some way to recognise 100 years of wts let downs and failed predictions.

  there is no point fretting over the past so i think it will be a good time to celebrate.
