Immediate accidental sex
by rebel8 inthere was a thread here some time ago with a title something like this.
it was about the wts' silly teachings about chaperones needing to be present every single moment to prevent couples from having sex, as though sex is something that happens instantly and accidentally.. i saw this today and thought of that thread.here for more.. *on 2nd thought....i am not sure the pics would meet posting guidelines...so click the above link.
it's a few comic strips depicting silly scenes in which "immediate accidental sex" happened.

Serving Jehovah - by Law or by Love?
by TimothyT ini have started reading in search of christian freedom by franz.
the idea of searching for christian freedom is very important to me, and i already know that this book is going to be very helpful in this regard.
on pages 12 and 13, i read something which has been on my mind recently regarding the removal of the mosaic law and its replacement with love through jesus christ.

Timothy,
If you get a chance, I strongly encourage you to go here: http://www.hopebeyondhell.net/ and watch the videos and then download the pdf of "Hope Beyond Hell." There are two versions of this book free online. A shorter version and a long version of the book. I LOVE IT so much that I ordered 40 pamphlets to pass out. This is a heart warming message and I strongly agree with it.
Here is a video for you to check out:

I must admit, I sometimes wonder, what IF?
by Greybeard inwhat if the watchtower stuck to their guns and didn't change the "generation" understanding?
when they came up with this totally ridiculous "overlapping generation" concept, i knew something was wrong.
there are people still alive who lived in 1914 today, they could have stuck to their guns or went with genesis 6:3, "after that jehovah said: my spirit shall not act toward man indefinitely in that he is also flesh.

@ designs: I am so sorry to hear about your father, I haven't the words...
@ Nathan: Thanks, thats funny!
@Duda: "the last new light about the feet and toes of the image ..... " WHAT NEW LIGHT??? I laughed at that assembly. What a joke! It had to be a HUGE let down for many. It was nothing but a bunch of hype, like as if they came up with something real BIG. Did you cover the town passing out those invitations at every door to people who couldn't care less about traveling half way across the country to here such nonsense?
@ Shop: Thank you, you are right, I really do need to live in the NOW. It isn't easy for me at times. I need to learn how. I think it takes time. I am open to advice and whatever I learn, I will share.
@ El Nunya: Very true, sad but true... There are many caught in this trap that can't see a way out. My belief is Christ himself will free them when he brings Babylon down. I hope it happens sooner... I hope they crumble.

There are people still alive who lived in 1914 today, they could have stuck to their guns or went with Genesis 6:3, "After that Jehovah said: “My spirit shall not act toward man indefinitely in that he is also flesh. Accordingly his days shall amount to a hundred and twenty years.” But NO, The "new light" tells us Christ was talking about generations that overlap! How crazy is that?
Another thing I wonder about is the blood issue. I would have went to the mat on that one. I had a close friend who did and his wife died. I don't know if a blood transfusion would have saved her life but I can't help but wonder. My question is, what if the GB would have stuck with their guns on this issue? When they allowed "blood fractions" I was at a total loss like many of you. How many have died because of this I wondered. How could this be directed by Holy Spirit? I went along with it anyway at the time. If it was a "conscience matter" I didn't need to think about it for more than a nano second. I checked it off as ok.
These issues had bothered me for a while but still, I felt the Watchtower was Gods "channel of communication." It wasn't until I was disfellowshipped and wrongly so in my opinion, that I looked online for answers. With these two huge doubts already on my mind, I was able to see the rest of the information and break free. Thank you jwfacts.com for sticking strictly to the facts. I applaud you! Thank you Ray Franz for your loving honesty and commitment to truth. Thank you freeminds.com! Thanks to everyone else who presented the facts in a loving non bashing manner that I could digest as a questioning Jehovah's Witness. This is a torch my friends and I at jwstruggle.com are trying to carry on if at all possible. We try hard not to offend the truth seeking JW... much of the time, that isn't easy.
What I still wonder is what if the Watchtower didn't make these huge blunders on the generation and the blood issue? Would I have been held "Captive To A Concept until the Genesis 6:3 / 120 year generation passed on? I thank God these false prophets proved what they really are by not "sticking to their guns" thus making a way out for themselves.
If the GB had faith the size of a mustard grain, they wouldn't have came up with the never ending "overlapping generation" cop out or changed their stand on blood. Were these two changes a huge part of your enlightenment regarding this organization like they were to me? Do you ever wonder what if they wouldn't have changed? I was so hardcore, I admit, I might not have woken up. I know that is sad but it is true. Thank God for the internet and all of you who help us to see the real truth behind this organization!
Your brother in Christ,

January 2012 WT Study edition on PDF pulled from JW.org website
by bnybyt inthe wt study edition is getting a facelift for the new year.. the january issue had been posted on jw.org but.... the boes hadn't received notice by letter of such a change.. the wts likes to play up every opportunity to have a new release.. this time the jw.org techies jumped the gun and went on to post.
the issues for download according to their established schedule.. unfortunately, they went ahead of the fds/gb who too late .
realized the cat was out of the bag, sort of saying.. well, it got pulled off the website, for now at least.. what's so secretive about it?.

Teary Oberon is the biggest hypocrite on this form! Pay no attention to what this JW apologist has to say. He doesn't obey the organization he believes in. He makes snide remarks all over the place. He has a blog full propaganda to support the Watchtower org. He is a troll.
