People leave the Org but don't drop the doctrine?

by Momma-Tossed-Me in

this deserved its own thread.

one thing i have observed being able to speak freely to individuals now about the wtbts is that even though they fade, they hold one to all or a portion of the doctrine.. if you examine the doctrine openly and fully you will see it has as many holes in it as the org does.

although it may appeal to you it doesn't make it sound scripturally.

This is the real tester. To leave physically is one thing but to completely deprogramme oneself is something that, sadly, many will not achieve. I personally know some really lovely ex JW$ who just can't get the last dregs of doctrine out of their system.

It took me a few years even after reading Ray Franz's books and others. I'm not a hasty person.

After all this time though, I can honestly say that the whole kit and kaboodle is just a load of dogs bollocks and will never come to anything.

I really believe that and so I put my money where my mouth is.

It's all just an elaborate, artfully contrived scam. Keep on seeking truth and you will know that to be true.

I'd like to see it burn!!!

Anybody got a light?

It affords inadequate men of no recognition or talent the opportunity to gain respect and prominence being surrounded by mindless, subservient morons.

I've seen it so many times before and know it to be true.

No answer to this one!

by truthseeker1969 in

as many of you know my brother an elder was called on to sit in a "judicial committee" re-instatement.. the brother has in the past done all he can to prove he is repentant but this time the co was here and apparently had a few things to say to the cobe when they were discussing the process.

the co asked why the poor guy had four re-instatement hearings and why the co had received a letter from him detailing that he "did not think he could do anymore".. anyway, long story short, the co sat in the hearing and hey presto the brother was re-instated.

my brother and the co spoke with the brother and the co said that he had done well and was sorry that the process has taken so long and shook his hand.. now he mentioned the latest letter about confidentiality and said that the society is being hit left right and center with civil lawsuits and are scared as the have no way of defending them.

Good point truthseeker.

It's just a shame that we ever allowed the filthy bloody cult over here in the UK at all.

It should be dumped in the nearest shit hole where it belongs.

Sorry, it's been getting to me lately.

since the newest body of elders letter was put on the internet, would your status be affected because of watching porn at all?

Fernando says we are "all" dysfunctional

by Phizzy in

poster fernando makes the statement on another thread that we are all "fallen, imperfect, dysfunctional" .

everybody.. i get the feeling that this is not too far removed in its thinking from the wt statement that apostates are mentally diseased, now i am aware that fernando is perpetuating the late doctrine of original sin, and his words were about all mankind, not just us on jwn.. but do you believe you are cursed by what a fictitious couple did in a fabled garden around 6,000 years ago ?

does that make you imperfect, fallen and dysfunctional ?.
