  Greetings! From an Existent JW!

  by Ethos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'd like extend a greeting to all members of jwn.

  i've been a lurking by-stander of this forum for approximately 6 months.

  i think this forum's best moments can be attributed to the involvement of actual jw's in doctrinaire discussions and to heated (though not always dialectic) debates.

  Welcome Ethos...This is a must read for any JW.. especially one that has no problems reading apostate websites... If you want to know what goes on behind closed doors with the GB......

  Quick question, did you feel lonely at the meetings even though you were part of the action?

  by Theocratic Sedition in

  just curious, something i've noticed only lately.

  i'm in the mix within the congregation, stay late after the meeting is over, converse with quite a few people afterwards, make plans for saturday and sometimes sunday service and yet i feel so awfully alone walking to my car afterwards.

  i feel lonely when i'm talking and laughing with people after the meeting.

  It's strange because although I often feel 'separate' during the meetings and find it difficult to connect with what's going on, afterwards it feels different. Maybe it's because most of the brothers and sisters I've either grown up with or our kids have grown up with each other. So although I feel lonely in one way, I don't in another..

  Will Don Cameron have to write a new book?

  by tornapart in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in light of the 'new light' recently about the fds not being inspected until later (and not in 1919) does this mean don cameron will have to rewrite his 'captives of a concept'?

  as most of his book is debunking this 'inspection of 1919'.

  any thoughts?.

  Thankyou for posting on this Don! (Sorry I'd missed it). It's great to read a reply from the man himself.. I decided to start reading the book again for the second time in light of the 'new light' ... LOL

  For me I think this 'concept' and understanding what it was all about was pivotal in my mentally and emotionally breaking away and it's this I've been trying to use to help my family see what is wrong with the whole set up.

  It will certainly be interesting to see how this develops now.

  Rutherford's smear campaign (a must read)

  by Leolaia in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  there has been some interest recently about the moyle case, and how it may have set a precident in what became the society's disfellowshipping policy.

  in july 1939, the chief legal counsel of the watchtower bible & tract society, olin r. moyle, resigned from his position in a protest over conditions at bethel and rutherford's mistreatment of workers.

  he did not want to continue living under those conditions and he felt he could effect positive change for his brothers by taking such a stand.

  Tell me if this is a stupid idea.

  by DATA-DOG in

  you know how you sometimes you are going about your day and then an idea hits you?

  you say to yourself, " what a great idea!!".

  then you think to yourself that maybe it isn't so great?
