DD.. Couldn't you just say that you've given it some thought and that you really don't have anything to add to what you've already said and feel it would be a waste of everyone's time? Believe me if other elders are anything like my husband they'll be happy that they've done their 'bit' and shown willing but will be grateful for the evening off. I know he's more than happy if someone rings up and cancels. I really think that if you try and say what you feel, they'll have you pinned against the wall with no wriggling room to get out. If you want to avoid future judicials it's really best to keep quiet. EE's got it down to a fine art I reckon, take his advice! LOL

They STILL might be DFing me soon for apostasy...
by RayPublisher inbig news - i met with the elders last night.
they were not arrogant and they were not mean spirited, but of course we all know they also would not budge from the jw brainwashed beliefs they are sworn to uphold.
i let my light shine, and within two minutes of sitting down with them was no longer nervous.. .

"We don't believe only JWs will survive Armageddon, only Jehovah can read hearts" - Logic Fallacies by JWs (or us)?
by cognisonance inrecently i talked to someone i care about who is in the jw group and stated i feel that believing billions of people are going to die when armegedon comes and only a jws will survive would be unloving of a god.
the response is one that i've also noticed others have experienced.
in short the answer is something like the following: "we don't believe that, only jehovah can read hearts.

Elephant.. the point is that most JWs (and remember I am still an active JW like you) believe that God is the only one who can reads hearts and decides who survives or not... but this is NOT what is taught in the Watchtower publications. According to them one HAS to be associated with God's Organisation to survive.

I'm so happy for you to hear of your new arrival and also that you have started to mend bridges with your father. I wish you lots of happiness for your future.

Watchtower and Freemasonry
by mizpah2 inthanks for the information, .
today by jws themselves and by the general public at large.. the repelling opposition and from mainstream christendom stems from ideologies created most likely from the freemason theologies.. the theological idea that one should congregate in worship in a place that replicates king solomon's temple as a truer.
emulation of where people should worship god (yahweh) as apposed to typically designed churches.. the probable reason also why worshiping centers for the jws are called kingdom halls and not churches.. when j rutherford broke away more less from the ibsa to create the jw organization, the remaining ibsa still used freemason halls to .
