Does the governing body know what they are doing?

by Gefangene in

what do you guys think?.

are they only some uber religious zealots or do they pursue hidden agendas beyond religiosity?.

I was helping a Mature Sister with her tablet for downloading the meeting and then noticed ...

by Quarterback in

this sweet older sister needed help and while trying to download the clm on her tablet, the history showed some porn pictures.

how does someone overlook that and carry on?.

Does she have a grandson or other male relatives? Maybe someone else used her device ;-)

Someone anonymously tipped the elders?

by raven in

so here an update on my current situation, in a nutshell i've been trying to quietly fade for the past 5 months.. well, my mom somehow found out that i am currently fading and that i live with my boyfriend (for more info on this check my previous posts) i told her yes i live with him and yes i no longer want to be a jw.

anyways, yesterday she met my boyfriend.. awkward.

and after lunch she pulled me aside to tell me that the po came up to her (he was part of my jc when i was reproved) he said to her "someone came to me and said - i cannot say who so they will remain anonymous- but that your daughter is living with someone" my mom confirmed and apparently he told her that i have one week to confess this, and if i don't my parents are obligated to tell them everything.. what kind of nonsense is that?

About the lying that you are married. Tell them you got married abroad in your husbands original country and are still in the process of registering your marriage in the usa. Fake the foreign cert.

The Watchtower's method to show that it was appointed in 1919 CE

by Doug Mason in

please note that when you tell me of the corrections i need to make that this is a simplfied, minimalist presentation dealing with the society's appointment in 1919.. it is available as a powerpoint show: http://www.jwstudies.com/appointed_in_1919.ppsx .

and as a pdf: http://www.jwstudies.com/appointed_in_1919.pdf.

How presumptuous of them to claim they are appointed by Jehovah backed up by muddy bible prophecies.

I never fully understood those "prophecies" and after reading your excellent presentation i can see just how outrageous their claims are

(Edited the first sentence by adding "to claim")

For a while i had my car insured under my elder dads name.. i had been smoking for a couple of months when while driving i was speeding.a little (+~ 12km/h too fast) when a hidden speed camera went off. BOOM

It took a lovely picture of me pulling on my cigarette that was posted to my dad. Lol

There was no denying as he had a clear proof of me smoking in his hands. Lol

Help needed: transgender people and other unclear topics

by TeaBiscuit in

first of all, i am not quite sure whether this is the right place to ask my questions.

if this is not really appropriate, please tell me in advance, but i really did not know who to turn to, so i thought why not ask the internet... now, i know many of you are apostates and i'm not really looking for "leave it all behind you" answers, but really for experiences, thoughts and ideas... as well as maybe some verses if you can think of any.. anyway, first things first.

since this is very anonymous and i'd like to keep it that way, i will not give you my name, but still, i think some background info might be helpful.

I highly recommend you reading a book called "crisis of conscience" written by ray franz. You can download it as pdf for free from the net. Just google it.

If you still want to get baptized after input from this book feel free to. At least you will know a lot of background of the org after reading through the book.

Pm me if you need help in finding ray franz's books online.

Love from some middle european country ;-)

This generation, Jerusalem, spiritual Jerusalem but what about Judea?

by Crazyguy in

in the book of luke chapter 21 it's writings are very similar to that of matthew where jesus is talking about the end and "this generation" .

he mentions jerusalem being surrounded and to flee.

in modern times bible believers believe this generation is about thier generation and jerusalem is refuring to spiritual jerusalem and they point to scriptures in the book of revelations to make the point.
