I am sorry that you are still VERY confused, Colin.
i would like to state publicly, on this forum, i no longer hold the views i had a year ago.. with much thought, research, study and logical examination i have come to a better understanding of my beliefs and where i stand on all these issues.. i'm very happy to announce i have returned to healthful teaching of the holy scriptures and i firmly believe that the governing body of jehovah's witnesses is the faithful slave.. sorry if i have contibuted to any kind of stumbling and know that if i can turn things around then there's hope for all who come to there sence.. phill4:6,7.

why is enoch referenced in the bible but his book omitted?.
Also, the "content" of the book of Enoch, was considered very "controversial" for its time. The book of Enoch gets into great detail about the pre-deluvian world. It literally names specific demons that "walked" the earth before the flood.
It gets into specific characteristics of these demons, even as far as "forbidden knowledge" they taught to mankind. Such things as weapon making, astrology, and even eye make-up for woman, lol.
It attempt to fill in missing years of Enochs life, like where he was when "God took him away". Its a very interesting book, along with the book of Jubilees as well. It is almost like a sci-fi/fantasy story, but written as a bible book.
I think it was just "too much", for some of the "holy" Christians back then, who had the job of deciding which books were gonna be in, or out, of the bible cannon.
the latest research article published at ajwrb estimates the number of jehovah's witnesses who have died from following or being coerced to follow watchtower's blood policy.
the numbers are staggering.

@ Listener - The truth hurts, doesn't it. Its funny how you read that, and heard "hate speech", yet I was just stating EXACTLY what happens, and has happened from this organization.
It sounds like "hate" to YOUR simple ears. You know why, because what the organization pushes IS HATEFUL. What the organization stands for, concerning having members DIE for a false interpretation, is EVIL.
So, even though I said NOTHING hateful, but instead just stated EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING ON IN THIS ORGANIZATION, it is so horrible that you heard "hate" even when it wasn't there.
You see, when an organization claims that they stay away from blood because it REPRESENTS LIFE, but will then allow ACTUAL LIFE to DIE, for a SYMBOL, is twisted logic. Think about it.
Btw, I don't hate you for misreading the facts about what this organization does.

You see, its THIS kinda stuff above, that could actually take this evil organization, that preaches institutionalized murder, out of the game.
I know a lot of us would LOVE to sue this org for their unfair JC, and DFing, and their kangaroo "court". Yet, its the blood doctrine, that is what could, and should finish off this death cult.
The many loved ones that have lost their innocent lives, for a false doctrine, pushed by an evil organization, intent on creating "martyrs", should never be forgotten. The surviving loved ones who have lost family, and children to this evil, should sue the shit outta this death corporation.
Especially now that they allow certain blood parts, and certain fractions, and this part is good, but this part is bad. Its ridiculous. So, unfounded, and not based in scripture, in any way shape or form.
Sue this crap out of these clowns for taking Mothers, and Fathers, brothers and sister, and innocent children, away.
The nation of Israel used to condemn the "demonic" ritual of Baal worship, and how the worshipers would sacrifice their children to the fire for Baal. Well, what are JW's doing when they "sacrifice" their own children, to the BLOOD god, and evil Watchtower Blood gods.
Sue them into bankruptcy! Sue them into destruction! Bring this to the attention of all who will listen. Fight for the voices who can no longer speak. Those who died, for a money hungry, organization, that could care less about its members. Its a death cult, and the Elders on the blood committees that would threaten DFing if blood was used, are simply just EXECUTIONERS in suits and ties.
Their sins have amassed high unto the heavens indeed.
there is a plethora of convention photos on my instagram this morning.
(a lot of my jw friends have forgotten i'm on their followers list) .
smiling faces standing next to convention posters with comments like 'nope, i'm not giving up.
Every assembly, was/is, the "best assembly ever". Its a joke. Honestly, with this new breed of younger JW's, and the social media age, and the Borg, accepting ONLY JW approved social media, and content, its the new way to "show" how "spiritual" you are.
It used to be, "I am a pioneer", see how "spiritual" I am. However, once the preaching work was no longer financially profitable, and the Borg emphasized it less and less, the new way for these young, brainwashed, JW sheep to show how "spiritual" they are, is to put up a bunch of clichéd, one liner, hashtags. Its honestly, just more of the same, but with a modern spin.
Throwing around a bunch of buzz words, and telling each other what they THINK each other wants to hear. In the end each one of them is hoping that the biggest Elder in their congregation, or whoever they want to think they are the most spiritual, will see those stupid hashtags. Hoping they will say, "My, my, look how spiritual little Jonny, and Jenny are", "Such great examples of the youth in our org".
Its a bunch of bullshit, and the scary thing is, these people are to brainwashed to see it.
if i'm tierd i fall asleep anywere so the meetings ect were no diffrent my wife would always try to wake me but im a deep sleeper.
karter .
The real question should be, has anyone ever NOT fallen asleep at a meeting, or convention, lol.
Personally, I never fell asleep at the Kingdum hall, but absolutely have at assemblies. How can you not fall asleep at assemblies? Contrary to what everybody LIES about every latest assembly being "The BEST assembly EVER", they are really BORING as shit. Sitting ANYWHERE for 8 hours, will, and does, make anyone sleepy. It is either a fight to stay awake, or dozing off.
I have a friend, who is still one of my oldest friends, who grew up with me in the "truth". He must have known it was all bullshit, younger than me, cause he would fall asleep EVERY meeting. I did not have that luxury as my Dad was an Elder. My buddy, however, he was lucky enough to fall asleep, like clock work, after the opening song, or prayer, and wake up, like clock work, as soon as the closing song would end. Him, and sometimes his younger brother, did it EVERY meeting, lol
He was known as the "kid who sleeps at the meetings". Whats even funnier, is he had a bunch of brothers and sisters, so they didn't always have a full row available for them all to sit together. So, many times, they would have to sit in the very front row, as it was the only full open row. He would be sleeping away, snoring, right in front of the visiting Sunday speaker. It was great. The beauty about it was that he knew he did it too, and never played dumb, or even tried to fight it, lol.
hi .
trying to find info on the scandal involving mexican congregations not having prayers and singing at the meetings.. i have found some info on jw facts but would like more if anyone knows of a good website to look at.. watchtower observer had some info before but that website is long gone.. any help would be much appreciated.. thanks wgo..
Scumbags. Lying, hypocritical, SCUMBAGS. They will guilt the average R&F member into giving up/sacrificing everything, including educating, and supporting their own families, but they will stretch ANY rule they can, if it means preserving their financial profitability.
I wonder if this also was part of the reason they specifically allowed Mexican Witnesses to lie about their political affiliation, and avoid jail time, but brothers in Africa had to DIE for their stance. I don't know for sure, but it wouldn't surprise me if there wasn't a monetary reason behind that too.
hello community!
quick background - baptized 1971, 46 years in the borg, former elder.
wife - baptized 1973, pioneer...... we became disgusted with the oranization 10 years ago but still believed it was the truth.
Welcome Tight Pants. Isnt it a great feeling when you finally tell these fake, hypocrites whats up. Its quite liberating, honestly. These Cult members have no idea just how out of touch with reality they are.
They constantly overstep boundaries, and somehow feel justified in THEIR innapropriate actions. Like somehow the Cult rhetoric that's brainwashed them, gives them the right to come unannounced to your home, questioning you and your wife, and practically "spiritually" threatening you.
They are fools, in the end. Slaving for a Cult that breeds lies, hate, destruction of family, and fanaticism. They spread "disease" like dogs. Their culture of backstabbing, and jockeying for "position", all for fake praise for each other thats mistaken as "spirituality", is a festering evil that should be purged from our lives.You handled it wonderfully, and told them whats up, and they deserved every minute of it.
A nice, well placed jab to their throats, while they were standing on YOUR property, would NOT have been to overkill either, but they way you did it was good too, lol.
"Millions now living, are starting to wake up and realize we've been full of shit for over 100 years"
i was showing a friend of mine what kind of books my parents allowed me to read when i was very young.
no children books that was age related but the so called orange paradise book was my only children book i had.
she was taken back on how violent it was and showing little kids being killed by god was just unspeakable.
Lol, look at page 46. The illustration of Nimrod, I believe, looks something like Lord of the rings, meets Norse Mythology, meets Game of Thrones, meets old testament Hebrew mythology.
Is that Merlin the wizard, Gandalf the Grey, or Saruman the white wizard, sitting next to "horny" Nimrod?
