  "Ring" or "Knock" ? --- "Once" or "twice" ?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the field service, i never rang the door bell.

  i would knock all the time, because a person could be working midnight to eight and i could wake them up.

  ok, the real reason was that i didn't want them to answer the door.. and i would knock like this: "knock knock knock".......then i'd wait about 30 seconds and then another "knock knock knock" but not any harder...and i'd walk away with contentment.

  I knock 3 times with one knuckle on the door frame

  if now movement inside within 10 seconds I relax and burn another minute or 2 standing there knowing no one is home.

  i HATE when dogs bark and run to the door...

  Watchtower Eliminated the "Evil Slave Class" according to E-Watchman? True or False?

  by AuntConnie in

  looking for information to make the july 15th, 2013 watchtower make sense, i came across the e-watchman website.

  is he a jehovah's witnesses waiting for the reformation or a apostate like all of us on jwn?.

  his post on the "faithful and evil slave" is very enlightening, according to his question he received from his readers, the watchtower said "there is no evil slave class" to eliminate fear the evil slave is working at bethel!.

  after some considerable thought i have decided that i will no longer post on this forum because i want to return to jehovah.

  thank you for all the kindness and many interesting discussions over the years.

  i wish you all well in the future and the decisions you make.

  8,461 posts spanning 9 years and he doesn't fit in?

  I admit, I noticed he was quick to jump on exagerations and make defenses of the WTS but I actaully respected him for that. But to make8000 + posts and then "return" to Jehovah?

  And why now? Has the recent "new light" actually convinced sbf that it is the truth? I think there is more going on here

  SBF - I am still in so I "get" the dilemma. One can find a good life among JW "freinds". I know this too and for that reason I continue to stay and make a happy life (as best I can) despite the pretend JW life I live. I have many friends that know the real me and this helps me keep sane. I also have those in "the truth" that feel as I do or at least could care less about "bible talk" over beer drinking and football.

  So long as my kids don't ever need a blood transfusion or piss their education away I should be just fine. Hopefully that never happens in your case either

  What Was Your First Experience In Exposing Yourself To "Apostasy"?

  by minimus in

  1. jw

  as a young teenager, i would look at "apostate" books at the city library.

  i was always intrigued as to what was sooo bad and other than a few writings of some that seemed like they hated the witnesses, i would clandestinely look at literature, especially in "christian" bookstores.. it took years for me to finally disconnect.

  i will say that ray franz' books enlightened me the most!.

  about 7 years ago I remember just finally asking myself why I was so "weak" spiritually. I figured I must have had lingering doubts my entire life and that I needed to prove the truth was real to myself or prove it wasn't. I saw my first video on an apostate myspace page. It was that video from the 80's that everyone has seen, the one with Ray Franz in it.

  I remember shaking while watching it, literally trembling uncontrollabely, teeth chattering and everything. I was so freaked out. I was terrified of demons after too.

  I decided to go about my journey reading the proclaimers book. I has also viewed some Wikipedia pages about the JW's and Charles Russel, Freddie and the Judge.

  After seeing that many of the stories on Wiki were touched on in the proclaimers book I quickly found this site and within minutes I knew in my heart TTATT, within a few months I knew in my mind it was all a lie... 607 BCE, 1914, 1925, 1975, it was all a lie. I remember choking back tears at work, dealing with the pain of my new reality, which was/is in fact... reality.

  I have come a long way mentally since then, mentally I am completely out however physically I am still inside the cult, living a lie everyday. Its a hard way to live but I am coming to terms with it. I have found ways to be happy with what I have in life. I also have freinds that have left the cult that I keep in touch with often, and JW friends that are in the same situation as me. this really helps.

  I keep waiting for the "BIG" thing to happen that shakes my family out of the "truth". I don't know if it will ever happen, but lately I am holding my breath

  At first glance I thought this was gonna be a Larsinger58 type of post, but after reading it yes, I agree in principle with the equivocation you claim.

  I don't tend to read into claims of decoding secret messages, but I certainly agree that these references to Jehovah have at best a dual meaning and at worst were intentional to the point of the GB making the exact point your claiming

  ok so i watched the video and at about 07:25 the brother says that building 1.5 million square feet of construction in less than 4 years will not be done without jehovahs spirit.. .

  is that such a big deal 1.5 million square feet in 4 years?.

  merch mart in chicago took less than 2 years to build 4 million square feet.

  So the people with the REAL truth are apostates!

  by ILoveTTATT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been on this site for around two months.

  in those two months, i have learnt a ridiculous amount of jw history and i now have insight on how humongous of a scam the jw's are.

  at first, maybe even a year ago, i would have thought, yeah... the apostates have half-truths and they utilize some truths and then lie about the rest.. well, for the benefit of all the lurkers in here: trust the apostates!

  A whole book would have to be written about all the doctrinal changes.

  really.... hmmmmm..... a book that just details what JW's believe now and how those beliefs evolved and why. hmmmm.... interesting.... has this been done? or is this a new idea for a motivated ex-JW journalist out there?
