Proclaiming "soon" since 1879.

Hiding sexual abuse scandals while condemning Babylon the Great for their fruits and not having god's spirit.

Keeping the sheep ignorant by hiding the old publications for them.

I was disfellowshipped because of Satan

by elbib in

during co visit, i took him for a bible study i was conducting.

during the session, the householder said he believed satan was not a person, but personification of evil within us.

i left co to handle householder’s doubt.

CO's must be so afraid...maybe 2016 will be a year of cleansing

just one week from the zone overseer's visit is the announcement that the magazine production by the australia branch will end in a few months.

the task being transferred to the japan branch.

while i'm not 100% certain, i understand that this effectively ends all major printing bar perhaps tracts, handbills and other loose items.

You can't loose what you no longer have.

i just don't understand it even though i read the information several times.

Hello Everyone!!!

by Christian Gutierrez in

my name is christian and my wife is katja, and we have been out of the organization for a year and a half.

we were both regular pioneers and i was a ministerial servant.

we were very much happy to be witnesses and doing our best to do more for the organization.

redpilltwice

Welcome and thanks for sharing the good news with us!

within a span of three months we knew we did not want to be part of the organization anymore

Wow, I wish I was that fast when the Candace Conti case came to my attention in 2012. Nevermind, free for six months now.

We even came very close to moving where the need was great

You did by doing videos and coming here, we need encouraging stories such as yours!

Why Me?

by Grey Goose in

jw
friends

it the question that i have found myself constantly asking myself the past few months.

out of all the jws i interact with, why did it have to be me that woke up from this mess?.

i am relieved that i have woken up to the bullshit, but a side of me misses that fuzzy feeling of being a 100% believer.

Thansk for keeping us informed Barbara, such barbaric behaviour needs to be exposed!

cha ching, you wrote: Was this man DF'd before?

Yes he was...for starting a sect! After a CO and a few elders voted to have him removed as an elder, three cogeregations in Lethbridge became split! He and a few others began to meet in his home for prayer and study, and soon 83 persons left the KH and joined him!!!

Read all about his personal experience here:

lf you could ask god questions what would they be?

by atomant in

thought it might be an interesting exercise to read the variety of questions people might ask.

redpilltwice

Intriguing topic, it triggers the mind in so many ways. Well...

What kind of entity are you?

Do you deal with humans in our dimension or are you in some kind of abstract, unknown reality?

To what degree is the bible true?

How do you see organized religion? Will they all be forgiven or will they all be doomed since they all fail?

Is/was your son real?

Is there life after death? In what shape or form?

Is it our purpose to colonize other planets?

Had a operation today and was asked about blood transfusions.

by atomant in

operation was successful only minor but some interesting information was revealed to me from the surgeon.l requested that they treat me as if l was a jehovahs witness with regards to blood transfusions.the doctor said well that varies from jw to jw and l asked what do you mean?his response was that in his dealings with jw's was that approx half of witnesses will accept a blood transfusion in life threatening circumstances and sign a form saying so.l was blown away when he told me this.l was curious if others in here have heard similar storys.lt seems to me that many witnesses have weakened their stance on this controversial subject.

Island Man et al told the truth about the policy regarding taking whole blood:

a person who is found to have unrepentantly accepted blood is disassociated from the congregation.There's practically no difference between that and disfellowshipping. The distinction that Watchtower is attempting to make is purely for technical legal reasons.

This was changed after the Bulgarian scandal regarding blood.

See: http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/bulgaria-blood-transfusions.php

I remember a CO explaining this during his visit. He told in one of his talks that someone disassociates himself after taking whole blood instead of being disfellowshipped. During the late 90's, I was still running the extra mile for the borg (reg. pioneer) and still too brainwashed (and unaware of the rise of the first sites critical of WT) to ask why the policy was changed regarding blood and not regarding idolatry, adultery etc. God, if I only had known how opportunistic the borg has been in so many cases.

Good thing there is still common sense among so many JW's who refuse the WT refusal of blood! Doesn't this indicate there is hope, one day the bubble has to burst! What if half of the borg would leave at a certain point?

Wow, think of all the freedom you'll have. It may be be wishful thinking, but if you're lucky, the elders will not contact you for a year or so.
