  so today was a cold and snowy day in my neck of the woods and the wife and i were just chilling around the house waiting to go to the church tonight for a candle lighting service when lo and behold we get a knock on the door.

  yup, 2 elders from my old hall.

  i figured they were fishing for some time so i invited them in and gave them some coffee and we talked about everything that happened and why we walk away from the jw's.

  I figured they were fishing for some time so I invited them in and gave them some coffee and we talked about everything that happened and why we walk away from the JW's. To my surprise the conversation went quite well. I told them we are never going back despite the fact that they want to come over and answer my many questions about their crazy doctrine.

  Either way I was brutally honest with them and told them how it is. So they want to come back. I left them with the question regarding Genesis chapter 1 and how the creator of the universe doesn't know that trees require sunlight. They were dumbfounded.

  Elder wants to stop by with the CO for a visit .

  so i got a text from an elder who i consider one of the good guys and a friend in his own way.. he asked if he could bring the co by for a visit.

  he said it would be "just a pleasant call and visit and will hopefully encourage my wife".

  he says that "he knows she is dealing with a ton of pressure".. in all my years around the organization, i never had a visit from the circuit overseer.

  Elders are nothing more than adult playground bullies. Don't let them in as others have said, you're asking for trouble. Heck they may even try giving you a lovely "Return to Hell" brochure. Just shoo them away. They are up to no good.

  My MIL keeps telling me the elders are going to do a shepherding visit on us and IF they do they too will be shoo'ed away.

  thursday, december 8. take your stand against him, firm in the faith.—1 pet.

  5:9.. to do that, we need to prepare our mind and heart, to train ourselves now to do what is right.

  we do not know what our spiritual warfare may involve in the future.

  @schnell. I've often thought the same thing. Great question!!😊

  I can think of two off hand. Many here have family still plugged in to the Borg and so it's good to see what dribble they are feeding them. Also it's good preparation for us in case something comes up so we are ready to rebut.

  Second is that all of us at one point "knew" that this was "the truth" and that by leaving we were putting ourselves at odds with "the only true God Jehovah" so to see shit like this reaffirms our belief that it is in fact NOT THE TRUTH and we made the right decision by leaving the Borg.

  Similar to when we were in and would reaffirm that it was the truth, now we can see clearly through the FOG.

  There's that term, "Spiritual Warfare" again. I wonder if the GB are preparing themselves for the butthurt they are gonna get come early next year.

  Do they persevere in prayer? No, considering that Jehovah is none other than they themselves.

  I will have to say, I prayed for God to give me the real truth and that prayer was answered. Less than a year later both the wife and I walked away from this nefarious religion.

  Meetings became impossible AND I am much more bold in speaking about my belief now than ever. Of course that belief leaves other dubs in utter disbelief.

  Many of us were completely lost before coming here. The wealth of information coming from the posters here is amazing.

  If it weren't for the people here the wife and I wouldn't have been able to walk away from Watchtower so easily, doing so without playing by their stupid rules AND have our family still talking to us.

  Great board this is indeed!!

  Daily text for 12-7-2016 Gods promises "Dynamic"?

  by NikL in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  wife read me the daily text this morning out of the blue this morning and a couple of sentences stuck out in my head.. all of jehovah’s promises are dynamic, not static, because he is constantly working toward their fulfillment.

  (isa.

  46:10; 55:11) once a person realizes this about jehovah’s word, what he reads in the bible can exert a powerful force in his life.. .

  Seems like more "wait and see" bullshit from the org. That attitude has lead many to face retirement age with no savings and having to work menial jobs till they die.
