Did The Witnesses Mess Up Your Sex Life?

by minimus in

most of the witnesses i knew never really talked about sex.

whatever couples did was pretty much kept quiet.

every once in a while a wife might complain to the elders or a friend that the husband is too demanding or even immoral because of the sex practices the husband wanted.

Yeah my sex life went to shit when i learned Tatt and my wife wanted nothing to do with me. We are now divorced, good times, thanks WT.

i'm still working on the hebrew bible for my book but looking ahead most of my research had fallen into place as i take month off from research., when it come to the nt most people accept what is commonly called markian priority.

this common theory says that mark was written in 70 ad and then a saying gospel of jesus called q was combined with this to make matthew and luke sometimes around 100 ad.

john as later.

You need to hurry up and get your book done, looking forward to it.

Who was it who ''rescued'', or ''saved'' you?

by Beth Sarim in

from the borg?.

i point to none other than cal lehman and the towerwatch ministries.

towewatch.com.. the years following the collapse of the ussr and the 1995 generation left a bad taste in my mouth for a long time.

I think the overlapping generation teaching woke up the most amount of people post 1975 teaching and pre ARC .

Me I was away from family under a lot of stress and doing a lot of questioning in my mind went to a RC hoping for a spiritual pick me up snd instead heard a talk from Lett where he lied about something concerning 1975. That changed my whole mind set and I started researching their history their teachings and the Bible itself.

Yep I’ve been saying for years they probably only have about 4 million baptized a few more that are kids but that’s it and dropping. I think they figured out after 1975 that it was a bad idea to continue to publish losses to they don’t . This small loss they mentioned this year is for a reason, their going to use this number to claim the greater number cooling off just another way to claim the end is so close.

The cult is now about circling the wagons snd getting more extreme in order to keep ones in. They know that they no longer are getting anyone from the world for the most part.

We can see this with reduced hourly requirements, stating only baptized ones will survive Armageddon anc the big push to get kids baptized.

Being Reinstated

by azl0058 in

so my brother recently became df.

he has full intentions of being reinstated, but it is going to take at least a year.

if the end times occurs while he is df, will he still be allowed in the kingdom of god?.

Aposta-Fish

Revelations chapter 20 says they will be judged based on their deeds so according to this it’s not about weather your in a cult or not or baptized or not but about what you have done in your life.

1977 only two years after the failed 1975. This is proof the jws lie about their numbers. Infact you can go back to 1927 as more proof. In 1927 Rutherford had lost over 80% of members going to the memorial. A little while later they started the formal preaching campaign and in only a few years Rutherford was starting the two class doctrine as if they had more then a 144,000 members and these news ones had to have some place to go. Smh.

I think these numbers like the ones in the past have been heavily manipulated. 300 new congregations in India not hardly. They are putting out what would look like the numbers of their numbers were true and then a pandemic hit this year. There’s no way of knowing if they have 300 new congregations in India so that’s why they put them there. The only stat that could be believable is the reduction in baptisms. They have pushed to get kids baptized so hard over the last few years they have probably ran of kids old enough for a while.

Are there more Bethel layoffs in the immediate future?

by LongHairGal in

i just saw a post on reddit: ‘wt are prepping the r&f for changes in the march/april meeting workbook’.. in the post the person noted what they read (for march 8) and it mentioned bethel adjustments and reference was made to 2015 when bethelites were let go.. if this happens (yet again) another bunch of people are being sent home to fend for themselves in the big bad world at an advanced age with little to no preparation.

even though this doesn’t surprise me, it could not come at a worse time with a global pandemic and massive job loss everywhere..congregations are already in turmoil because of so many who reached retirement age totally unprepared because they were told armageddon would be here before they reached that age.

this is in addition to all the other ‘needy’ and troubled types in the congregations looking for as$istance.. i hope any bethelites there have a plan and some people they can contact.

With everything being digital and video they could run the whole cult with less then 300 people world wide, then have the COs and elders to police the rank and file.

looking for Jw infomation about the bible being changed etc?

by Aposta-Fish in

in one of mike and kim's latest videos they claim that the borg wrote in the 1960's that the book of revelations wasn't even finished until a much later date.

they have also stated that apostate christians changed the bible> i've also read years ago they trashed the bible or at least the king james years ago after another one of their fail predictions and right before they made their own bible> .

i'm looking for these writings and any other that where the borg is criticizing the bible?.

Thanks Atlantis for contacting Mike and Kim.
