so my hubby has been on a bit of a roll about the jdubs, we were talking a lot about them & he said the buzz word he hate's the most is "worldly" why?

because he say's "with that one word they have condemned (according to their believes) a person as being worthy of nothing but death.

".

In Dutch, there is a Borg-word called "schriftuurplaats", and often used when a verse is adressed. It's not even an official word and can't be found in any dictionary, so how could I ever translate it in decent English? "Scriptural place" comes closest I guess. Anyway, once a brother (a former teacher) looked it up and found out it was a barbarism (it should be "schriftplaats") and truly a false expression, he HATED the use of the word. Poor guy, he's still a JW, forced to listen to it during ALL meetings!

Inviting disfellowshipped to the memorial

by wannaexit in

jw
friends

i read in a european ex jw forum that this year they are making a special effort to invite not only the inactive but also a special effort is made to invite all disfellowshipped.

.

i don't know if this as always been a common practice, or something started anew so they can boast about the numbers of attendees..

Well, then I guess it's official now...I'm a fader in the eyes of my cong. Good for them, even better for me

Last week an elder came to explain that the cong don't get it anymore (I'm close to six months of fading). Yesterday two elders stood at my door but I was on the toilet and my wife didn't want to invite them inside because of all our children being at home, not telling where I was I waited 'til they were gone and my wife showed me two invitations they gave us for the memorial...no way!

by berrygerry in

so, roger daltrey and pete townshend were on jimmy fallon tonight as the who.. without disrespect to others, i would put the top 5 rock bands, not necessarily in order, as:.

led zeppelin.

pink floyd.

One theory: The ongoing industrialisation in England must have fuelled the urge to let off some steam!

By the way, I would definitely make it a top 6 with Deep Purple, they really deserve the credits and are in the same league as the mighty Led Zeppelin t.m..h.o.

Only a few days ago I was entirely lost and without hope the rug was pulled out from under me

only a few days ago i was walking around the house in a mindless wander thinking if i needed to seek professional help.

then i got the courage to seek the comfort of complete strangers on the internet and found a world of support here on this website.

thank you simon and whoever else has made this website possible.

I nonchalantly asked him if we could talk about something. I then very plainly told him I do not believe the overlapping generations teaching is correct and that after considering what the Bible says about not adding to what the scriptures say, it is clear that the overlapping generations teaching is nothing but a ploy to buy time for yet another failed prediction.

Instead of lashing out at me and telling me I am spiritually weak, he put his glasses down, took a deep breath and told me he knows that I no longer believe it and that he has been having serious reservations about it himself!

Such a relief when both husband and wife a) learn and b) accept TTATT!

I have been doing a) for years, but when b) came, it had the effect of taking another red pill and entering another matrix again. I tell you, sometimes it takes several knockdowns to make a man humble. No man made religion and absolute thruths anymore, probably on my way to agnosticism!

The coolest thing was, that after years of researching bits and pieces of TTATT and slowly reaching the point of no return, it was so much easier to explain my doubts to my wife. It took her ONE night of reading the right websites and info to go full awake! Being an elder always pushed me back to my responsibilities and being an example for the flock.and my family, something that fuelled my self esteem within "mother's" rewarding system. God, wish I had the courage to fade just a few years earlier, let's say, around the time of the Candace Conti case in 2012! Now I'm faced with new challenges (a better job for instance) that would have been less difficult to deal with some three, four years ago.

But hey, I still count my blessings, being free of FOG the most important one!

Good luck to both of you and please keep us informed about your intriguing journey!

Thanks for keeping us up-to-date!

He did offer to meet the victims....more then Geoffrey Jackson did

Lying under oath, flat out denial of being God's mouthpiece, put to shame by Babylon the Great's willingness to meet the victims??? Now wait a minute...a good tree cannot bear worthless fruit, nor can a rotten tree produce fine fruit, right?

The Jdubs are case study 29!!!!!

Wow, with Catholic Church being Case Study nr. 28 the ticking doomsday clock is a gruesome reality! They'd better keep on the watch, more than ever!

let's set aside our differences for the moment and appreciate this excellent documentary cedars put together that should prove to be an invaluable tool in helping to expose the child abuse issues in the organization.. i was humbled to be able to help with this project on such an important subject, though my part in it was insignificant..

Thx for sharing cappytan, I immediately shared it myself with a few friends.

It sort of brings together all the bits and pieces in a perfect clear overview. Lloyd did a marvelous job!
