  so the head of the elders the cobe or whatever their called was the one who talked with me when i had doubts.

  or i should say came running when my wife called the elders on me.

  he while not really looking at my 10+ page document proving one of their major doctrines wrong and trying to find out my true motives.

  I agree with safeathome, maybe he will be more merciful of others now and not so self righteous. And I wish the best for his daughter, may she find happiness in her new home and newfound freedom.

  i've just signed up two days ago, but i've been lurking for about a year and a half.

  here's my story if you're interested:.

  my parents converted when they were in their first semester of college.

  what was that blessing part about?

  i kept hearing pioneers talking about the blessings that they were receiving and as i looked at their lives objectively, there really isn't anything special about them.

  maybe they are just more appreciative of things than other people.

  When I gave them the check, she said 'but we won't be able to pay you back' and I said I didn't expect them to. I was happy to help them out. It just hurts that they dropped me so quickly later...but as oubliette would say, let's review...

  Thank you incognito! I am speechless.

  ok, edited to say this: it is like watching severely malnourished children lapping up a few drops of milk dripping from a table.

  DS I can't believe they were using the term 'new light' even in 1881!

  Are you religious or are you spiritual? Wake up to what?

  by Deltawave in

  there is a huge difference between been religious and been spiritual.

  been religious is about been superior to others in the sight of god.

  however, been spiritual is about self awareness, inner peace and unity with the natural world.

  I've heard lots of people through the years, people at the door, teachers, professors, and friends say they admire the philosophies of these religious leaders, but not their religions. None of these people were promoting the BK cult, but it is the way they feel about Jesus Muhammad and Buddha.

  I gave hundreds of $ to a witness family that was struggling financially, without being asked and without expecting ever to be paid back. They were the first ones to unfriend me on facebook when they heard rumours about me.

  Types, anti-types, starting fresh?

  do you think these changes are being made so they can start teaching the r&f a new set of doctrines?

  or is this just a fly in the ointment just to continue to confuses the masses so they don't know what the hell to think anymore?.

  and if you think its so they can teach new doctrines, do you think their going to go more main stream?.

  Great breakdown, DD! Yes when the GB goes back to being mysterious and amazing when they are told to stop being public, time will pass, and all their embarrassing videos will be considered 'old light' and disregarded.

  Oh god fremind, that is so true. Yay! The witnesses are soooooooo great to reverse this teaching!!!! They are now interpreting scriptures the way other churches have for HUNDREDS of years. The difference is...oh, witnesses think they are sooooooo special, the only true ones, and they have lots of rules instead of conscience matters, and if you don't follow exactly their interpretation, you don't qualify for God's salvation, and you can't leave. Wow, is this appealing or WHAT.

  It has always been interesting to me that 'spiritual' to Jehovah's witnesses means a person who does these things that are so mundane.
