when i got baptized in 1972 (13 years old) it was under the "lamp" book.. .
when asked the 2 questions standing up, i did not say "yes!
" i got immersed, but never dedicated my life to jehovah.. (not in prayer, not vocally hated the way i was imposed on i was a kid for christ's sake!).
My friend once told me his wife has been faking it since their first time. They've been married for 3 years now.
Ok, seriusly now. I didn't. I said it loud. My grandma called me today, it was just her weekly routine to make sure his lovely grandchild loves the Big Blue Sky, beacause "we were the one who chosed Jehovah, we said here we are to do your will".
How can they think that a 14 years old will make a decision that he will not regret years later? So evil, so insane
the videos on jw.org are nauseatingly corporate and propagandistic.. the smiling blondes that are showcased - the big executives sitting at their thrones (authoritative.
desks).
the workers clad in their orange safety uniforms like so many worker bees in a hive.. the word "love" used over and over again.
Can you give us the link to the video with the shooting star scene?

I wonder how many people left the org or at least learned the truth about the truth from this community. It was a pleasure to read the story. Only one question is left: Which username belongs to Ang?

Thank you jgnat. Let the light shine
welcome to the newest jehovah's witness discussion forum on the net.. please register so that you can post to the forum and turn this into a welcoming place for other brothers and sisters online
Hello History. I am leaving now my fingerprint on this thread.
Maybe 50 years later the servers will still be working and those who will witness the collapse of this evil organization will remember us and especially you those who started this forum and other exJw sites.

After reading a few more posts now I know that in 2001 the site was no linger pro jw. It took only a year??

Now this was 12 years ago. I dont know if Simon had ever noticed but things are no longer under control by the above statemant :D Could anyone summarize what just happened here in this 13 years?
I thought that JWN was launched by exJws. When was the turning point? When did people on here started viewing this site as an exJw discussion forum rather than a jw forum? I have a lot of question so any additional information is welcomed.
Thank you
since i have my own software to track pdf publication uploads and changes on jw.org and simplify publication downloads, i looked behind the reasons why certain publications had been updated this last month (first the know the truth tract in hungarian which i knew of it didn't have any recent textual revisions, and then bible teach book, which had suffered a further update the picture on page 3 was replaced).
i noticed one little procedural change, which 99 percent of the witnesses won't even notice, but the publications printed since the start of this service year no longer have "all rights reserved" on the publishers' page.
first i thought it was a mistake, but it's for real.
I've sent you a PM.

Are you hungarian, caminante? Anyways.. about the bible teaching book: i noticed long before that in the chapter that deals with the soul topic they changed the candle picture too. First it was a distinguished candle with smoke (very suggestive). The present pricture is without the smokes. When they published the book I also thought "what if the student says that the smoke could represent the inmortal soul".
