You came here in the power of an IP address.
Now feel free to post your name and congregation details if you're so sure the spirit of Jehovah's organization is on your side.
don’t know how i ended up here but no one who understands will listen, or any one who will listen doesn’t understand.
i grew up in the “truth”, i was baptised at 17 as it was encouraged by the elders.
i really didn’t understand what i was getting into.

we all know of the tactic employed by the society to flood the russian govt with the mass letter writing campaign.
no doubt, one of their aims was to send a clear message of the governing body's views to the russian authorities.. what can't we all do the same to the governing body?.
with the advent of ever tightening data privacy laws occurring in many countries around the world, we now have a valid and legitimate reason to write the society!
@stuckinarut2 I actually tried doing that, and I got a response!
Please find attached the letter they sent back:

"... the greatest hope they have is that when Jehovah comes to murder the entire population of the earth aside from them, they need to be in a position to be counted worthy of saving. Of course, as one character's existence shows, and as a scripture that wasn't brought out indicates, even if you do all of the "right" things, "probably you may be concealed in the day of Jehovah's anger" (Zephaniah 2:3). Yes, even this one character who bears up under severe test and takes a huge stand in her life must still worry that her God still won't accept her." -Dubstepped
In one paragraph, you've managed to highlight the chilling belief of mass slaughter to all non-JWs, along with the ominous dread held by all Witnesses that they just might be included in the horrific body count.
Welcome to the disconcerting thoughts that run through a Jehovah's Witness mind.
Can you say PROZAC?
something i have noticed from watching many of bridgets videos is.
how many jws hang up on her.
this is what jws are famous for, having the door slammed in their face.
@sparrowdown. Oh yeah... the Hispanic guy with the nervous, rapid-fire speech? I love how Bridget at the end comments on his mental health and that he doesn't sound "okay" due to his "forced speech" .
What are the chances a dishonest loon answers the Kingdom Hall phone?
Oh yeah - pretty high.

Photobomb, much?
this post is necessarily lengthy, but my hope is that these 14 examples of wtbts dogma will be examined closely by those who either have something to gain by doing so, or those who can provide "new light" for any of the topics.. "however, you may say in your heart: “how will we know that jehovah has not spoken the word?” when the prophet speaks in the name of jehovah and the word is not....true, then jehovah did not speak that word.
you should not fear him.
" [the prophet] (deuteronomy 18:21-22) .
Wise words indeed. More from that source:
"Their zeal for knowledge may even prompt them to dig back into things that were published long before they came into the truth, expanding and deepening their understanding, and ever growing in Christian maturity. . . . Have you really studied these earlier publications? . . . If you are a newer one in the congregation, have you studied just one of the Society’s publications. . . . How can all these people get the things they have missed? Only by studying earlier publications and digging back through previous issues of The Watchtower kept in the library at your local Kingdom Hall. There is much in the way of spiritual riches and aids toward mature knowledge in these earlier publications, and their study is most certainly worth your time. By checking back through the Society’s earlier publications you will learn where to find the answers to questions that arise, and you will rejoice to see your understanding continue to grow.” (The Watchtower, May 15, 1957, pp. 311-317).
Nowadays, if you dare mention researching older material, you're cross examined for your "motives", reminded of the "New Light" doctrine, questioned where you obtained the earlier publications and then admonished to "keep up" with Jehovah's chariot, rather than catch up to it.
