i have to make a token appearance at the k.h.
once a month or so and this week went to a different hall.
and believe me they are all still totally oblivious to all the negative news about the pedophiles and shunning that have come under scrutiny by the media and other governments.

what can i do when elders want to poke their nose in?.
they want to have another chat with me and my wife, but we dont want to, it just gets us down..
Sorry wrong string:)
anyone listen to the "special" talk today?
i guess it was given by one of the governing body members and shown at all the halls.
.
I love the line "there are some who claim to be chrisitan, that believe he (jesus) is god."
The ass makes it sound like this is some fringe point of view, and not that 99% of christians are Trinitarians.
Always disingenuous always spinning.
i’d imagine that if you have a ipad or ipad that some witnesses will get into trouble.. what say you?

Not sure why I would get dislikes for my comment?

Oh and by the way, even if you have been having GOOD SEX up till now, the JW guilt on his part will mount and mount. Everything will be going sour.
It is just the way it is.
i recently made the decision to stop studying with my study conductor, due to a situation i found myself in that led to a high possibility of my unbaptized publisher "rights" being taken away from me.
i have since told my study conductor i have joined a new church (to which she dropped me like a hot rock, of course).... last time i posted on here, i was progressing nicely towards baptism, and was well into it.anyhoo, i like my new church, very hillsong-esqe.
so just wondering if anyone else has stayed the course of christianity after leaving the jws, and if so - where did you go?
Not me.
Had my fill of myths and fairy tales that are designed to control me.

Besides reading Richard Dawkins at the hall (while I was still an elder) I would on occasion (being attendant in the foyer) glips some Porn. Amazingly no lightning struck me down.
for a long time, i was convinced jehovah witnesses were just people preaching the word of god in a different way than other christians.
i was shown the real truth over the past few months.
i've been friends with this guy for over 5 years.
I have to say - RUN. It will never work out, the brainwashing is to much of a problem.

They dont have power over you.
Just say - Thank them for their concern, but at this time we don't want a visit.
if we eliminate all the controversial and confusing verses attributed to jesus we will get the crystal clear truth from him because his source was (1) god which can be seen from his habit of early morning talking to god in prayer (mark 1:35; john 8:1, 2) which would not have been for material blessings (mathew 6:8; 16:24), and (2) also observance of people.. 1) jesus who said judgment is based on whether we acted humanely or not (mathew 25:31-46) would not have spoken about god’s people and pagans (which means bulk of the things found in gospel had not been spoken/done by jesus).. 2) another important truth he said was about the real key to our happiness which he said is with each one of us.
(luke 17:21).
from his observance of history, he knew there are people from adversities who made great contribution to the world; and there are people from all abundance who lived a life of wastage accomplishing nothing; and there are people who are mixed in varying degree.
Is this a joke?
