What is Jacko's status as a JW????

by mrd83 in

i know he was raised as a witness and he wrote the apology letter(which was published in the watchtower) as well as giving the wts a boatload of money($$$millions$$$) over the fallout of his thriller album.

recently he proclaimed his faith in jehovah as if he is still a jw and his father who kicked the crap out of his kids(requisite to raising a fine jw family) as well as his mother are attending court.

what is this guys status??

professor

I remember reading his apology in one of the magazines around Thriller time. Anyone got the date on it?

TOILET ISSUES!!

by Gill in

i've just been discussing by pm with a good friend 'toilet issues' brought on by our jw experiences and upbringing.. friend has a problem with not being able to go in public toilets because of twickenham flashbacks.

i hope she doesn't mind my saying this but i think she'll understand what i'm getting at.. my problem, was i always felt so guilt stricken whenever i even needed the toilet and was in a room with other people for any reason, school, work.

this all stemed from jw upbringing where i was not allowed under any circumstances to go to the toilet during meetings as this was 'shameful' and showing 'lack of appreciation' for the non spiritual crap being served by the fcs nutters.

I was spanked for going too much earlier in life. Later in life I used it as an excuse to exit the KH and go to the downstairs video arcade in the same building as our KH. (Dodgeville, WI)

Are Apostates Ruining "the Watchtower"?

by slimboyfat in

jw
friends

the witnesses had a coherent and comforting system before apostates came along and challenged many of "the watchtower's" core beliefs.

over blood, the un and other issues the "watchtower" has responded to apostates by clarifying/changing positions.

many firm believers have been led away from the faith by the active apostate community on the web.

professor

Apostates are not ruining the Watchtower Society, they are running it. Anytime someone comes in and denies/changes the doctrines and beliefs, they become an apostate.

Anyone who doesn't subscribe to the new Watchtower dogma is then an apostate squared.

The Watchtower Society is an organization of apostates.
