OMG! That's probably the worst case of verbal diarrhoea I've ever known.
I'll bet his breath stinks from here all the way up to the heavens!
Hell!!!
i searched for this here and didn't find any posts about it.
i just found this while searching for info as i was debating a jw on another site.
this is the most mind-blowing, spaced-out, insane bunch of mess i've ever heard.

hi, everyone my name is becky i've been in and out of the organization it wasnt untill 2 years ago i finally put a end to going at all and havent been back since.it was so hard cause i have family in it and was grown up with those thoughts and rules way of life i guess you call it.my head is still in confusion most of the time.i'm currently going to a baptist church and i love it just when witnesess are brought up it upsets me even though it shouldnt cause i'm no long going to it.i feel like i dont know who to believe anymore or what is even good to read anymore.i'm on facebook alot and see alot of things on there but dont know the right people to talk to on there either about it,so i found this here.i'm 33 years old and dont think i should be struggling with such a thing but wow it is hard to get out of your head.i like reading the bible but sometimes i dont understand what is being said which is why the watchtowers i thought helped me but im finding they didnt i guess,yep confused as ever...
Hi Becky
I think you've done the right thing by coming on here.
I struggled on my own for years and could not make sense of things. It is very helpful to hear other peoples feelings and experiences. Some people on here just want to have a laugh which is fine if that's their way of dealing with the stress.
Peace to you and live the life!
was the snake or serpent created perfect, god saw it was.
good.
so if the serpent or snake(presumably innocent).
Similarly: Did Dr. Spock really have pointey ears?
Seriously!
probably this topic has been dealt with before, but i'm relatively new here, so perhaps y'all will be willing to indulge me in my pursuit for clarity.
regarding the anointed, the gb recently said this: .
"we thus have no way of knowing the exact number of anointed ones on earth; nor do we need to know.
Sorry for posting that twice. My mouse pad is ultra sensitive.
I literally have repeated myself!

The fact that they do not keep such a record is conspicuous by its absence because if they did we could work out exactly how many there have been since the founding of the WBT$. Hypothetically, that number, coupled with the number of Christians from the first century until Russel would, without doubt, exeed 144,000 and would expose the doctrine for the lie that it is.
The thread that deals with this crucial topic is fascinating and worthy of more research.
Obviously our research has limitations but I always struggled to believe that the number of 144,000 had not been exeeded. I'm certain that they knew this and the 'Great Crowd' teaching was a direct response to this which would, of course, create somewhere for the surplus to go.
Sorry to repeat myself, but this always nagged at me in the back of my mind like an alarm and I don't think I ever really bought in to it.

during a quiet moment i picked the latest ypa book down from my bookshelf.
it's pretty much stayed there since my relatives came back from the latest convention.
i couldn't bring myself to see the extent to which the society is now trying to claw its way into the lives of teenagers.
Yes Outlaw, and re-write it he did. Along with a load of other S#1+.

In short, you cannot make sense out of nonsense and those guys are full of it.
last night whilst i was relaxing 2 elders came to my door to tell me i am officially da'd because of my 'actions'.
they weren't specific but i have been to church and telling others about the wbt$ scandals.. i was told they thought i was rude for ignoring their letters and not attending my jc.. my reply: 'you were the rude ones for sending me hounding letters when i specifically asked you never to contact me!'.
i got a 'hurumph' from the lead eldub.. i don't remember the whole conversation but they were annoyed i kept referring to the wbt$ as 'just a big business' but i told them they were on my property uninvited so they'd have to listen to my opinion and i don't have to listen to theirs.
Good on ya Punk. That'll teach em.
They won't like the taste of their own medicine!
ok this thread might get my ass kicked by some of you in here, but don't take it the wrong way...i'm just curious, why do we care so much about the wt calling us "mentally diseased"?
i mean haven't we said far worse things about the wt and gb in this forum?
(i include myself)...i know many of us got all bent out of shape because of those two words they used on us and some of us are trying to get the law on our side, but if we could file lawsuits against them, then i'm sure they can just as easily get their money back by accusing us of "hate speech" and having this website shut down.
Bang on!!!
