Maybe its time for you to get a new High Priest, a new mediator between God and men?
Rather than the Watchtower Society, I would recommend, Jesus.
these days i have strong feelings about the recent events.
i mean the child abuse case.
the context of the case makes me sure that our believe is not the truth.

a while ago* i set a goal to lose 10 pounds before summer.
today's the day.
i didn't make it.. .
You didnt try losing weight by eating anything "sugarfree" did you?, its been revealed that not only is the likes of Asparteme a neurotoxin, it also makes you fatter than the original made with sugar.

The above is also an interesting read.
I remember when I was a kid, everything was made with real sugar, we used to eat tons of sweets and cakes, evrything else was laden with fat, yet we were mostly skinny as rakes.
With the prevalence of homosexuality in these last days, I think it is a serious oversight of the Governing body that they let Brothers travel together in the same car, even if there is more than two brothers, they might have an orgy!
No Jehovahs Witness should be allowed to be in the company of any other human being, or animal for that matter!, a brother in a nearby congregation was repeatedly disfellowshipped for having sex with sheep, seriously. So no keeping cats with their nasty raspy tongues you sisters.
Doctrines of men, dont you just Love em?
hi all i'm new to this, i joined because from what i can see this is the best ex jw forum out there.. anyway i'm male, 20, live in uk and left the wtbts after 2 years of being a student.. there was this girl called natalya and she has really took me on one hell of a ride.
she was very helpful in my exit, because she often had debates with me and tried again and again to help me see sense.
anyway we dated before i found the truth and to be honest, i never really stopped having these feelings for her even though we fell out a few times.
Though I now from experience the pain you are in, maybe looking at it from another perspective might help you get over it?
In a way you are lucky that she met this other guy now, therefore revealing the reality of her character and level of devotion to you.
So, imagine things had gone as you wished, you ot married, got a mortgage on a house, had a kid or two, then she meets this other guy, leaves you, kicks you out the house, though you have to keep paying the mortgage and paying for the kids you cannot see, whilst this other fella reaps your fruitage.
And whilst all this is going on, a really nice girl, who you hadnt yet met, one who would have wanted you above any other, and that would have been faithfull to you, you never would have got together with, as you where allready attched.
But now, you are free of the one who has proven shes not the one for you, leaving you free to meet the one who is right for you!
Attraction is so powerfull, and Love is so blind, I hardly know a man who is glad he married the girl he felt as strongly about as you feel for this girl.
i wonder how jws will react to this recent evidence that intelligent man existed at least 22,000 years before adam and eve arrived on the scene?.
it looks like membership will continue to decline as far as intelligent jws are concerned.
i'm sure there will be plenty of society's bottom feeders who will continue to find their way on to the jw publisher lists.
I wonder if this is one of the scientists that tell us to belive in man made Global Warming?
And when we are talking about "Sisters", not just young hot Sisters, but old widows in their 80s, yes, allthough evil worldly people can visit old ladies, taking them meals on wheels for instance, Jehovahs Witness men are so sex mad due to having testicles like a bull, that even ones Love and devotion to Jehovah isnt enough to hold a brother back when he gets the scent of a sister, even one with no teeth that smells like cabbage, it sometimes took two or three Elders to hold me back.
When I was in a Southern, (English) congregation, maybe it was an Apostate congregation or something because this was a very loving congregation, I used to visit lonely old Sisters who never saw anyone apart from the meetings, I figuered it was the sort of thing Jesus would have done.
However, when I moved up to the North of England, I soon realised I hadnt been seeing the whole truth of the "truth", when it was made clear to me that such activities are NOT allowed!
In fact, it wasnt even allowed for brothers to have Bible Studies with women that had progressed from RVs, even when I took a Sister along!, what on earth was the point of doing Field Service when as soon as you found interest they would stop you doing it because of their obbsession with sex!
And these are the people who think they where chosen by Jesus!
for me, the disclosure of ufo's as being real is just matter of time.
it's not a matter of any mayan calendar or galactic alignment.
it's simply the eventual outcome of increasing and increasingly bold ufo observations.
Not just Demon inspired, how about Global elitist inspired?
After all, when the "Aliens" attack, only a united world government, or "New World Order" will be able to resist them, the scripture in Revelation 13 tells that it is the united world government that causes signs from the skys in oredr to decieve.
A Muse song touches on this, something about spaceships from the skys, its just our leaders in disguise.
Man had flying saucers eons ago, ancient Sanskrit documents tell of these and even give plans for, the Nazis were devolping these at Peenemuende, Vril craft based on the Hindu Vimanas, what we are seeing today could well be modern mans attempts at reverse engineering ancient technologies, could be one of the reasons why they keep crashing, allways seemed strange to me how these "Aliens" could navigate half way across the universe only to crash when they got here.
William Cooper, Behold a Pale Horse, US Navy and US Airforce, claimed the "Illuminati" invented Alien threats, though he also claims they are actually working with Aliens, Government whistleblowers, are they really whistleblowers or working for the governments to try and get us to belive they are "hiding" something from us that doesnt really exist?
Project Bluebeam, HAARP, they are plenty of references that indicate they have the technology to decieve us with that are no more bizzarre than the notion of Aliens flying light years to visit us yet only communicating by crop circles.
i'm making it official.
i'm addicted!
someone once said to me that admitting it is solving half of the problem, and i can live with the other half... lol.
Crisps, I think you Americans call them potato chips.
i know it's hard to challenge your beliefs you have held onto so long, what else is out there in this world, that makes sense?
once upon a time, we had a edge over the world, we had "game" but this is fading.
think about the talks you heard at the "one day, two-day or summer conventions", were you upbuilt and told how valuable you are?
Thank you Bublegum, that was lovely, I might have stayed in if I had had such an insight, instead I grew to belive I was wasting my time and being a hypocrite by trying to get others to join when I truly belived thier teachings that I wasnt good enough for Jehovah, so in effect, I disfellowshipped myself.
Since studying the Bible for myself, I now belive we are not meant to be perfect else we would be confirming the Devils lie, that we can be like God when we know good and bad, whereas in truth, we are not like God and cannot reject the bad like he can.
Also the Mosiac law showed that man cannot be good enough to earn salvation, thats why it was abandoned and replaced by Gods grace, paid for by Jesus sacrifice, the JWs have instigated thier own Mosiac law, perhaps thats why they dont dwell on Jesus so much, who needs Jesus if you are perfect without him?
My favourite scripture is the prophesy about Jesus where it says, "No broken reed will he crush"
how many of you have felt the holy spirit being jw?
have you felt to have it after leaving?
always in my prayers i ask for holy spirit, but honestly i have never felt to have it.
Sent you a PM Wolfman
