quickly!!.
mark sanderson at a regional assembly.. i will find him and ask him questings.. please quickly leave questions you want me to ask.. i will record and post updates!!!!.
hurry..
1) Will the GB listen to the ARC?
2) Are you sure you are one of the annointed? You were baptized in '75 and the numbers are supposed to drop!
3) Why build new headquarters while the end is so near?
4) How long is a generation according to Matthew 1:17? Do the math!
last week my mother (i live with her) gave me some clues that she finally awoke, and well, that came to be true and we now speak openly against many many things i considered taboo to talk to her.
so with that achieved, it was time for a delayed duty, i took my typewriter one wrote my da letter, and signed it with my favorite fountain pen, with my "trade mark" royal blue ink (everyone in the hall knew me for using that color and type of pen).
i will hand it to the elders tomorrow, in february 14th, the "day of love".
imagine you're a mentally out, physically in, awake jw who still attend meetings and occasionally do a little door-to-door perfunctory service just to please the still-in spouse and keep the elders off your back while you slowly and subtly try to free your spouse of the cult.
you're also a vociferous online critic of the jw organization and its harmful policies and false teachings.
one day while out doing your occasional perfunctory door-to-door service with a still-in jw, you knock on a door and the householder comes out and says:.
So cool, I envy you! Real succes stories, but not of the WT kind. We need more of that!
today at work one of the clients that came in for advice was an elder and his wife.
they must be having issues they need help with.
this elder was the elder that told us not to go to a domestic violence shelter or not to go to the police when my daughter got a black eye.. am i bad because i smiled inside that they are having problems?.
Yes, now and then there IS some justice in life.
Karma is a bitch!

they must really be having issues finding brothers to slave for the org..
i've been thinking this for a while.
even before the arc scandal.
it seems no matter what, the org.
There is a passage in the NT (one of the gospels I believe) where Jesus said that his followers would be brought to courts to face charges and that they should not prepare their defense in advance because holy spirit will enable them, in that hour, to speak with irrefutable wisdom that their prosecutors could not counter.
This is it Island Man.
(Luke 12:11, 12) 11 When they bring you in before public assemblies, government officials, and authorities, do not become anxious about how or what you will speak in defense or what you will say, 12 for the holy spirit will teach you in that very hour the things you should say.”
And to the question Do you think Jehovah is protecting the org I'd say, NO! Not according to this verse:(Amos 3:7) For the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will not do a thing Unless he has revealed his confidential matter to his servants the prophets.
We know JW.(b)ORG is not his prophet.
from the time i was a small boy - i loved rock n' roll music.
beatles, rolling stones, led zeppelin, hendrix.
i started getting slighted for the music i listened to as i lay in my bedroom listening on headphones to led zeppelin's song " black dog " at age 14 with my elder dad looking suspiciously at me as i'm rocking out .
Love your story, glad you enjoy life and music so much! Music is our god-given right to enjoy/express ourselves. No one should take that away from anyone. I threw away lots of good stuff in the 90's, like Iron Maiden, Nirvana and Metallica. It brought me the approval of the elders and eventually I became one myself, always doing the "right" thing. That is...until my fading! Good they don't know what I'm listening to during these days of anger. But I never got counseled myself nor did I hear of others around me. I did hear of one occasion when they checked the private music collection on bethel. There was quite a revenue of "worldly" music and a "soft" pressure to get rid of it.
l was wondering if others get the feeling that the world we live in seems not quite right.l can not pin point anything specific but since childhood days l often get the feeling something isn;t correct.you know the feeling of deja vu.
am l the only one to feel this way?ld love to hear from others and any storys they may have.having been raised in the jdubs maybe lm just suffering mild bouts of paranoia .
he delivered the most cultic piece of propaganda i've ever seen in an assembly.
wife typed up the whole thing.
i will be posting when i get a chance.
Thanks STA, we asked for it, we got it!!! lol At least I got through the half of it. A few thoughts already...
Think about that angel wrestling for 21 days without giving up. He could have given up at one or two weeks or after 20 days. He could have gone back to Jehovah and said I fought against that demon but that demons was strong. But he struggled until he got reinforcements.
So Jehovah and god-knows how many angels were watching this live WWF game before their very eyes for 21 days??? Wow, and we should hate what god hates????
Another example of elders' faith that we can imitate: elders that have been serving for many decades and they have thought the end would have come by now but despite unfufilled expectations they don't give up. How glad those elders will be when the end does come.
The end will come for many of them when they will die old, worn out and heart-broken because of their many disfellowshipped children, while seeing an exodus of their young, fresh and more intelligent fellow-elders.
Third
thing - Imitate - their faith. Examples: expressions of faith we want to
imitate. Some elders simplify their life and even go to full time ministry? Are
you able to meditate and reason because that elder knows the real value is
treasure in heaven not treasure on earth? Treasure on earth can be here today
and gone tomorrow.
What a nice upbuilding talk towards the (older) bethelites that got kicked out! Tell that also to the ones who sold their houses and properties before 1975. It was just a short time, just a few years at most. Young ones would not grow old in the system of things. Some did not have kids because of the burden during Armageddon. Well, treasures on earth gone yesterday, not easily back today or even tomorrow!
