THE NEWS IS BIGGER THAN DATELINE, BBC, CBC, ETC.

by AndersonsInfo in

if i told you that something bigger is on the horizon than dateline, bbc, cbc, sunday (australia), and all other tv programs which exposed the sexual child abuse cover-up by watchtower in 2002-2003, would you believe me?

have i ever misled you?

i'll answer that--no!

NewLight2

Ok, now I've got it figured out.
The "Big News" is a

BOOK to be published

Possible book title:
The Lies of the Watchtower Governing Body
Author: Non-JW Women
Publishing date:Sometime mid-December 2005
Publisher: Yet Unknown

But, the really BIG news is that y'all are going to have to BUY the book before y'all are going to get to USE any information contained within the book.

Now I'd like to know just how much THIS book is going to differ from all the other books that have been written before it.

There have been other books written by non-(never been) JW's.

Jerry Bergman has written several.

Robert M Bowman, Jr has written several.

And this one written by Steve Devore and Steve Lagoon:
Blood, Medicine and the Jehovah's Witnesses - The Hidden History of the Watchtower's position on the Blood Issue

Just because it is written by a non-never-been-JW does NOT make it ok for the dubs to read! They will still say that it is "APOSTATE MATERIAL" and dismiss it all.

Sooo . . . .
What makes the BIG News so different???

Cat in Emergency Care - could use some support

by carefully faded in

jw
friends

i'm really nervous and scared right now.

i just brought my boy kitty to the emergency care clinic with a blocked urinary tract.. i noticed something was wrong last night when i came home and his sister greeted me at the front door (he is always the first one to greet me).

i went into my bathroom and saw that one of them had pooped on the floor - something neither of them had ever done before.

What do I tell my mother?

by Confession in

the facts.... -3rd generation of a 4-generation witness family.

30 members of my family are in--including my mother, father, 3 siblings and their mates and children.

(other relatives too.

Hi,

If you decide to share a bit of your information with your mother, I would begin with the 607 BCE vs 586/587 BCE date. Ask her why it is that ALL encyclopedias site the 586/587 BCE date, not the 607 BCE date as the WT teaches? Tell her that this has really "stumbled" you. You might even want to ask her to do some research for you using history books from the library.

This is just my 2 cents.

sf,

Why not try asking some of the 'old timers' from h2o. Some of them have the archives on cd. They would be able to see the entire thread in context. I'm sure Norm and Farkel or Osarsif have a copies of the cd.

Do JWs believe in "signs"

by Shawn in

do jws believe that god can use mundane everyday things to show his will?

my friend says she doesn't believe in signs, i am wondering if this is a jw mindset or her personal one.

it is something i have asked her and she said it was her beliefe but i wonder how much the wts had to do with it.

NewLight2

JW's will often admit that it was a 'sign' that first brought them INTO the JW religion. They were at a low point in their life and 'prayed to God' for a 'sign'. It was at that very time that the JW's came a knockin' at their door and offered them a 'Bible study'! The rest, as they say is history.

They also believe in 'signs of the end times' - that the 'big A' is just around the corner - because of (blank) event that has just occured.

Update to Shawn's Story

by Shawn in

it has been a while since i last updated everyone.

i am doing so now because i think people going through what i am need to know that there is hope and although sometimes it may seem impossible, it isn't.

i am going to assume that anyone reading this post is familiar with my story.

NewLight2

You're right, the borg is cruel. But take heart, this event just may bring her to her senses about how unfair the JW religion is. It is the shunning that is the cruel part, as no JW will be speaking to her after she is df'ed. She will no doubt turn to your friendship after the shunning starts.

Welcome back, Shawn!

I'm a bit confused by your latest update. Why is your friend going to be df'ed? I thought that she was on her way "back in" again. What has happened that you feel she may be df'ed??

Questions about disfellowshipping

by Gwen in

i stumbled upon this site by accident and spent the past several days just reading through the forums.

i must say, i'm both horrified and fascinated at what i've read so far.

although several members of my family are jw's, i have never known much about the religion and quite honestly, have never really gotten to know these family members well.

Shunning my Husband

by AuntieJane in

jw
friends

ok, i am not a jw, never was, neither was he.

but today i am shunning him.

yesterday he went to a car show with a friend and drove home intoxicated.

NewLight2

AJ,

I'm sorry if I sounded too harsh about his going golfing alone today, but I thought that that was why you said, 'See...I will be blamed.'. I see nothing wrong with spending a day apart, if that is what both of you want to do today.

Your situation sounds like you could find some help and comfort in a group like AL A Non (sp).
