you can hide your whole friends list from everyone.
this would be helpful if you want to friend people that are df'd or apostate.. .
go to your timeline, click on "friends" and then click the little edit icon next to friend requests/find friends button; click on edit privacy>friend list> here you can choose to hide your list of friends from everyone.. .
an 'apostate' inactive jw in america i know on facebook went to the dc and said fully 600 people left between the end of the apostate talk and the lunch break.
have any of you who also went to the dc seen something like this happen?
.
I agree and noticed the "HUMAN APOSTATES" designation also.
We're JUST LIKE SATAN but only humans.
We're like SATAN but only in HUMAN form.
Tell me that they do not have a complete library of books to show them how bend peoples thinking without them even being aware that it's being done.

so after our incident today i let some time pass so as not to kill the mood and bring up all the annoying watchtower stuff.
however i said, "babe seriously, i know you were upset about the other issue but you seem to just never want to even think about borg stuff again!
i am glad - don't get me wrong - but so i can reall understand please tell me what was it that made youjust wash your hands clean so fast?".
I had basically the same experience.
She was "stronger" in the TRUTH that I was and she seemed to just take it and roll with it whereas I am still wondering how she was able to give
it up so easily.
It was a little slow going at first but then after reading Captives of a Concept it seemed to cut em off at the knees, as it were.
I still try to get her to look into other things that would help bolster her decision to leave so that she will be stronger if anything ever came up
that would shake her currrent beliefs, you know, cobwebs and trip wires still potentially active in her mind. Cannot get her to see the benefit of doing this,
Getting her to continue to research is even harder and more frustrating than the original approach on getting her to see TTATT.
Frustrating to say the least.

brother of the hawk, newly enlightened & gojira, recorded an elder's meeting on 5/7/03.
both does a great job of defending me and making the elders look foolish!.
thank you raypublisher/jj and jwstruggle for the awesome job you did on it.. follow up story was not recorded but we will post it here hopefully over the weekend.. enjoy, it's pretty hilarious how they try to control us and come after me on a work of fiction!.
now they can mingle inconspicuously with the 'other sheep' without being 'made an example of' (for better or worse)..
That was David Splane, I believe is his name.
If this happened in a REAL government, we would call it a
NJY AKA Scummydross on JehovahsWitnessRecovery.com
question: how does the leadership of jehovah's witnesses instruct its members to prepare for the eventual elder care of its members?.
answer: it pretends it will never happen!.
is this responsible leadership or some kind of cognitive dissonant malfeasance?.
" In effect, the rank and file were told to jump into the ocean and swim out as far as their strength could carry them and
a miraculous rescue ship would appear!
When no such ship arrived the leaders insisted nobody should have listened to them in the first place!
Swimming was demanded but drowning was optional."
Great thought!!
They said the rescue ship was more "probable than possible" in keeping with the WTBTS attempt at apology for 1975 debacle.
The WTBTS tried to blame the 1975 fervor on the Jw Rank and File. Really? If the WTBRS knew that the R&F were sharing these wrong beliefs amongst themselves then why did they not use the DC CA magazines to shut down this erroneous thinking?

Hellooo? What about the part where they actually changed the scripture to make their edit correct, grammatically.

' (rom.
"First, we must proclaim that name to others, recognizing that only those who 'call on the name of Jehovah will be saved.' (Rom. 10:13)"
(Emphasis mine)
Rom 10:13 says: "For “everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved.”" (Emphasis mine)
Looks like they had to change the scripture to make their edit work out. See where they changed the word "calls" to "call"?
This was because a ",.....recognizing those who "calls" (with an S) on the name of Jehovah will not be saved" does not flow gramatically now does it.

..according to the wt, adam and eve were created to live forever on earth right from the start.
two things i just thought of.. 1) one of the reasons that they were banished from the garden was so that they couldn't eat from 'the tree of life' , which would allow them to live forever.. so doesn't that mean that they were created with bodies that were going to deteriorate and die?
or would the magic fruit make them invulnerable even to gods power to destroy them?
I had the same thought in the past.
If things are eventually back to the way Jehovah wanted it either it was lacking a 144,000 government back then in the garden of Eden or it has one that it does not need in the future.

hi guys,.
have you ever wondered how the watchtower bible and tract society keep all the jehovah's witnesses in line?.
it's a simple concept really.
