"live for now, because life is good.

"we may get instructions that don't make sense or they may defy logic, but we must be obedient to the faithful slave if we want to survive.".
all i could think about was that these were the same kind of people that would have gulped down the kool aid at jonestown without hesitation.. pardon the language, but what the actual f**k?
even when i wasn't a doubter and bought in to the organization, it was always with a view to what was in line with scripture.

Something that defies scriptural logic or sense should always be questioned.
I was quite sad for these followers today. I had to get up and go to the bathroom because I was choked up with sorrow and tears.
i was deleted as the cobe after i let my adult child move back home and he admitted that he fornicated under my roof while my wife and i where away on a rbc project.
of course the elder mode in me kicked him out of the house.. the elders moved quickly to remove me because i was too involved in "theocractic activities", i had neglected my adult son.. i accepted this primarily because i didn't want to serve with a boe that did not want me.
i was devastated however because it was the only life i knew.
Dad, is that you?
Probably not.....wishful thinking.
All kidding aside, welcome. I'm still in. By all appearances, a zealous witness.
This has been a great support group. I'm grateful for not being alone.

first i thought may be the pics were too big.
re sized them and still nothing... any ideas?
Are they also blocking it when it is within a Post, not just a link?
It's hit and miss. Sometimes it's blocked, sometimes it's not.

hello forum,.
i'm new here and not sure where to post.
so, i'm 21 years old and currently a baptized witness, however, i'm slowly making my mind up to leave and here's why.. first, there are certain things that make no sense to me in the organization.
Garrett: I'm still going to meetings. I'm still baptized. I'm not DA'd or DF'd. I'm a former Bethelite, Pioneer, Ministerial Servant and the son of a COBE for a neighboring congregation.
I give prayers at meetings, run microphones, give talks, been told I'm going to be recommended as Ministerial Servant come next CO visit, all that jazz.
But I'm awake to what the organization is. I'm just not ready to leave without my family. They're not awake yet. So for the time being, I am by all outward appearances a "good" witness.
Ray Franz has been demonized by this organization. But he's anything but a demon. I knew personally his uncle Fred, and I knew some of the Governing Body who were members while Ray was a member of the body. Now, when I say I "knew" them, I don't mean I hung out with them on a regular basis, but I did have close association with them on a few occasions.
I can vouch for his depictions of those brothers.
Ray's book Crisis of Conscience is not a bitter diatribe of a former member. It is a loving and humble account of his struggle with the same things you're going through - doubt, hypocrisy, and what to do about it.
Read it. Truth shouldn't be afraid of light. If Jehovah's Witnesses have the truth, then reading Ray's book won't change that. John said at 1 John 4:1: "Beloved ones, do not believe every inspired statement, but test the inspired statements to see whether they originate with God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world." Paul said at 1 Thess. 5:21: "Make sure of all things; hold fast to what is fine."
Again, I say, if the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses has the truth, then reading a book isn't going to change that. But, if JW's don't have the truth, then your eyes may be opened by a real search for truth.
Don't give up. Don't disassociate. But do like Paul said. "Make sure of all things."
Research, research, research all the doctrines and teachings. "...test the inspired statements..."
And you shouldn't take Apostate's words for it just as you shouldn't take any other man's word for it. You have to test things out for yourself and come to your own conclusion.
if they are this happy, why do they keep taking down this video?

Well thanks for answering my question while pretending that it was Illuminated who first thought of it.
I don't know what question you were referring to. The only question I saw you ask was who made it and if the GB knew about it and if it was with their consent.
I still don't see where anyone truly answered that question.
On my post, I was posting speculation based off of another video.
But I still don't know the answer to that question(s) you posted above.
