Blondie> Maybe it is a trend, down slowly enough to catch most jws off guard. It's not the first time the WTS has sanitized itself to be more acceptable to secular authorities.
New name for jws coming up?

Well, now you're saying...I always thought that becoming the "Christian Congregation of Jehovah's witnesses" was such an attempt to become more acceptable.

Some years ago, elder talked bad things about me in field service.....

by Iamallcool in

i just thought about my old congregation where an elder met worldly married couple in field service some years ago.

the couple knew me for years but we do not know each other very well and they mentioned my name to him and he started to talk bad things about me!

wtf!

redpilltwice

Just wondering if you know of any JW that talk bad about Ex-JW in field service?

Too many to mention. That's what happens when you're under Jehovah's dome...

June 2017 Watchtower - Jehovah's Sovereignty is at stake if you disagree with us

by Listener in

four years ago the watchtower made the following demand.

all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.

they are not content with obedience and in the upcoming june watchtower they have this to say -15. how does respect for theocratic headship reveal our love for jehovah’s way of ruling?15 what is our response to divinely authorized headship?

Good point listener! WT has turned Jesus' easy yoke into some sort of mental instrument of torture.

The bold points darkspliver mentioned...

All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.

The Governing Body is neither inspired nor infallible. Therefore, it can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction

By our respectful cooperation, we show our support for Jehovah’s sovereignty. Even if we do not fully understand or agree with a decision, we will still want to support theocratic order.

When you were an active WT door knocker... How did you knock?

by LoisLane looking for Superman in

jw

on the door frame, on the door, door knocker, bell.. loud, very loud, regular, soft... gentle... or just pretended and never knocked at all?

we just had a city worker come a knocking on our front door and my responce after she left was, she should go down to the local kingdom haul and give lessons.

her knock was so loud, she could raise the dead.

redpilltwice

I live in the same country as Anders, so usually I also rang doorbells, but...

when I had to knock, I was a loud knocker, I had the "truth" and wanted to sound convincing.

I was a very loud knocker when I suspected the householder to have hearing problems lol

My awkward elders hearing

by Andamormonjustbelieves in

i was baptized when i was 14 years old.

i hadn't had any real relationship with a girl up to that point.

but when i started going to high school i learnt the joys of experimenting with girls, so i did not stay a faithful member of the congregation for long.

Welcome to the forum Andamormonjustbelieves. Your introduction (and Mark's final question to you) is rather unique and still sinking in! Are you still young?

I Have A Question About A Dog

by minimus in

jw
friends

i would like to have your opinion on something if you don't mind.

my girlfriends dog, a scottish terrier, is a wonderful lovable dog about fiveyears old.

my girlfriend owns a hair salon and takes her dog with her and the dog greets clients very lovingly.

redpilltwice

there are two or three men that come by and she barks angrily nonstop if they come by. Any ideas as to why the dog goes nuts with only a small amount of these clients????

You already mentioned the fisherman and the lawyer, otherwise I'd check if they could be JW pedophiles. Wolves in sheep's clothing really must have bad vibes!

My Introduction - An ex-elder's story of waking up later in life.

by doubtfull1799 in

background:.

my parents got the “truth” while i was in primary school.

i was baptised at 14. i loved school and was extremely studious.

redpilltwice

Very, very welcome & great story doubtfull1799,

first of all...I LOVE your username. Wt has always tried to minimize the impact of false dates. Barely any mention is made of 1874 and 1878 ("Proclaimers" (1993) and "Kingdom" (2014) book) but when I found out about 1799 being Russell's start for "the last days" I had the "GOTCHA!" feeling. After that it's not that difficult to see how EVERY generation since Christ has seen signs of the last days, including generations BEFORE 1914, WT's "turning point in history" lol (check http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/apocalyptic-end-of-world-predictions.php).

I was not born in, but your story is quite similar to mine and I'm glad you really were a higher-up among the elders with all your privileges, wow! The organisation needs to feel what the price is for their intellectual dishonesty and playing with peoples lives!!! Many good sincere men and woman with a conscience are leaving, those who can't leave but know TTATT are voting with their wallets, time, energy etc.

Just like you, the infathomable WT studies and last but not least, the ARC testimonies were the final blow for me after a few years of growing doubt since the Candace Conti case. I faded (and my whole family with me) without real concequences. Of course ex-elders know how to play the game but that never is a guarantee to skip under the radar without an amount of serious damage or backstabbing. I'm pretty sure the remaining elders also weren't in for a witch hunt, although I openly expressed serious doubts regarding 1914 and the sexual abuse scandals, even in the face of the circuit overseer!!! I was the youngest, the rest will become burnt up sooner or later...it's inevitable .

I hope things work out well for you...you seem to be the kind of guy that has earned enough respect in order to not to be slained. That's a really good thing considering your current situation.

For myself, the more I become aware of the hidden darkness and layer upon layer of hypocrisy within' the WT Borganisation, the more I long for writing a DA letter. I feel they don't even deserve to have my name on the inactives list, but it would also cost me a few JW friends who I can still talk to and who don't judge me. That's also worth something.

Could you please pm me which articles you wrote? If not, you will be forgiven (that's how this forum works, har har har )

stephanie, just a warm thank you for going public and allowing us to look into your personal and private life.

in a better world there would be no need to pursue such a cause, therefore congrats are tempered with unfortunate reality.
