"Update: Because I "unfriended" and "unliked" the AAWA site, Juan says they cannot tell who added me. Fair enough. He said because I am in other exJW sites, I may have been added by someone from one of those sites. I have asked for the names of the people who were adding from these other sites so I could contact them personally. I don't have a good feeling. I hope my feeling is wrong.

I am so disappointed in all this. But it is what it is... "

What the fuck is this? Cedars and Juan Viejo!??? Do you want to expose that bastard who outed a lot of XJVs or not? If you don't delete that damned group right here and now you are nothing but egocentric hypocrits. And give us the whole truth...who is that damned idiot that outed a lot of people in the group? Now is the time to give a stright answer.

If you don't act promptly now..that's a sign that you don't care about faders. In that case....we urge you to out Cedars real name. I assume that Cedars in not more important than other faders. or...is he?

Phizzy: That's true. I remember that some pioneers used to take me to theology students that they met in service. But, we must admit..we knew some soft spots in mainstream christianity. But those ministers/theologists didn't know that much of JW-doctrine. It was very easy winning a debate, but.....

Is There Other Sites Many Members Are Bailing To? M.I.A JWN People, where did they go?

by ÁrbolesdeArabia in

since i joined the forum i noticed more than a few people have not been posting, what is going on?

i received a couple of emails from other groups asking me to join their new forms with a promised technology, i wondered how they got my email address and thought it be strange.. .

people during the first year of a great change might post daily to any support chat or message board they feel is going to aid them.

People come and go. that's life. Maybe they feel that they have better/more important things to do?

But yes, one can miss people that one only know by a nickname. It's a bit sad.

In that case..be sure to be the one and only administrator of the page...and act very very carefully! You hve to wait months or years before posting something sensitive

NEW LIGHT: The WT Leadership has been wrong about their own identity for the last 93 years!

by Oubliette in

so by now, we all know about the "new light" concerning the "faithful and discreet slave" class being the governing body and just the governing body.

other "anointed ones" need not apply.

you've been summarily kicked to the curb.

"I recently heard an elder "justify" this "adjustment in our understanding" using this same flawed line of reasoning echoed by many in response to this adjustment, "Well that's how it actually works."

Really? Is that an adequate explanation? I don't think so. "

It is an adequate explanation, because it's true. But I do think that that elder made a mistake being that truthful!

This is not about theology/interpretation. It's about power over the organisation.

What do you believe about the bible?

by bethelyellowdollarbag in

i'm interested in how we all view the bible?.

let me start by offering three different options:.

a.. a book that at best may have cultural or historical interest but that is it.. b.. a divinely inspired guide that i consult to make important life choices.

Hey! The books about the superdetective Shelock Holmes names London and Baker Street! Surely Sherlock must have existed.

The truth is now and have always been very simple. Just read the Watchtower and obey the GB/elders.

The July 15 Watchtower and all its new light is only...

by sosoconfused in

making people cling to the organization more.

when i found out it was up i told so many people frantically that there is a new study article up and that it had so many changes.

my mother started crying saying how happy she is to be a part of an organization that is truly directed by jehovah... only the true faithful and discreeet slave could have such insight.... another person began to say how great it is to see the celestial chariot on the move.. .

Oubliette: Do you ask me if I understand? Yes, I do, I promise. I was just thinking about how those changes were recieved among the rank and file.

English is not my native language, so I probably express myself in a way that sounds a bit "stupid" or at least childish! At least I hope I'm not that stupid as my english writing indicates!

OK! That's fine, Headisspinning.

But , according to Juan Viejo, the group settings later were changed to "open to all". Is that true? Or did just Juan make a mistake when he stated this? If the group settings were changed in that way a lot of people were outed, and still are to be outed. So far we haven't seen any message from Juan or Cedars that the group settings are changed back to secret again, but I assume that you can inform us about thad, Spinning.

Anyhow, as i see it, there is still a huge problem with the group. You have 100's of members that you have no idea of who they are. According to Juan there were some Pro -WT apologists in the group. Are they still there? In that case you still have the risque with further outings.

If you have a secret group you can't just let anybody join the group. Every new potential member has to be checked out before he/she can join the group.

Why not cancel the group and restart it......this must be the best way to act regarding what has happened.

Is 'evil' an invention of man??

by Monsieur in

recently i read some essays on animal behavorial patterns and i must say i'm shocked at how little difference (when you honestly consider it) there is between said animals and us, human beings.. this is a very new concept for me personally but here is my take on it (i'm sure its not so new, ex.

evolution) - what if humans in fact are mimicking animals, and not the other way around as we'd like to think.. displays of love and affection, clinginess, mourning etc, they all exist in the animal kingdom, but how are we so different?

a pack of wolves attack and kill a caribou for dinner and its considered nature, the same wolves hunt down a lost man in the woods and now its considered 'evil', and if there are any forest rangers around its guaranteed that they will shoot these wolves.. man's heartless treatment of man is considered 'evil', but if evolution is of any indication (in terms of survival of the fittest) is the 'term' evil just a word to appease our so called conscious?.

Dismissing servant

Yes, that's true. Animals have social instincts and innate inhibition of aggression. You seldom see wolves killing each others. A population in which everyone is fighing and trying to kill everyone is not a stable and functional population. Such a population will be extinct in a short time.

But social instincts are different from species to species.
