Hey Don, this topic on the 1919 appointment has been the backbone of my awakening, I started a topic on this new light a few months back and I hope you can check it out whenever you get the chance.

66Still Waiting For the Governing Body To Explain Their New Light
by Cameron_Don inregarding the governing bodys new light relative to matthew 24:45-47, anointedjw.org recently said the following:.
this new light certainly poses a problem for the governing body.
perhaps this is another reason why they have not yet published a sober and scriptural xplanation of this new light.

Rebuttals for having an independent attitude or spirit.
by Emery ini am looking for rebuttals on this statement.
i find it reprehensive when they preach this from the platform, they do not want jws (who are individuals) to have any individuality.
they want people to be their personal robots with no free will.

Umm they could get into some serious trouble if it was the Watchtower. Scientology got into trouble for editing their wiki page to show favorable information.

They want people to be their personal robots with no free will. What would you say to a JW or an elder if they were to accuse you of having an "independent spirit/attitude" using both the bible and reason?

What is the most out of line / disturbing experience you have seen from Circuit Overseers?
by Poindexter Lionel Humperdique ini once heard of a circuit overseer blaming a loyal ministerial servant, that served as the accounts servant, of steeling from the contribution boxes, simply because he deposited the congregation funds bi-weekly instead of twice a week.
due to the accusation, the ms was immediately removed without hearing his side of the story.
isn't this rather counter-intuitive and innefficient?

What's you BIGGEST pet peeve/disagreement with the WT or GB?!?
by TeenageInsider infor me its the district conventions.
not bragging in anyway, but i was born-into a family of 'higher ups' im talking co's and zo's..... and there is a room that they set up in the conventions/stadiums called the "chairmans office".
i always have access to these rooms, because im usually with one of my higher up family members who give talks and all that other crap.. anyways, while everyone in the convention is sitting in the sun, eating a slimy, soggy bolognia sandwich, the chairmans office is air conditioned, has a variety of chilled beverages, 'coke, pepsi, diet coke, gatorade, dasani water bottles,' not to mention the 'danishes, sandwich triangles, cookies, cakes, muffins, fresh coffee, and for lunch, pizza, salads, pastas, and lasagna'.

Aside from the monstous amount of evidence against any claim to authority and being God's organization.
I have to say that my biggest peeve while a believer was convention/assembly attendants carrying the "Go to your seats" or "Quiet" signs. If you happen to see someone you havent seen in a while, these bastards just so happen to show up in your face and wave these signs in a rude manner. Ive always wanted to tell these guys to go f*ck themselves and throw their sign on the ground. Actually I may still do that one day, ill just have to go to a convention out of state where nobody knows me, act like some bible study or worldly guy and just eff up some attendants day and competely embarass him, then walk out like a boss. That would feel verrrrrry good.

I never had anything happen to me speceifically, but my friend told me of a disturbing story he had with a CO out in field service.
Everyone had left the car for a return visit and it was just him and the CO waiting. The CO randomly starts spouting off about how masturbation seems to be a common problem for people my friend's age. Then the CO blatantly asks him if he has that problem hahaha. My friend said he didnt know how to answer that because he didnt want to lie but then didnt think it was none of his business so he said no. My friend still talks about how disturbing and embarassing it was to this day, and this happened 6-7 years ago.

(For our non-JW guests) How to get rid of a JW using only two words.
by cedars inif creepy contact lenses, facial piercings and people who talk insanely fast (and over-use the word "legit") are not your thing, then don't watch this video!.
however, if those things don't bother you, and you're curious about the "nuclear" way to eject jehovah's witnesses from one's doorstep, this video explains how this can be done swiftly and effectively.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrvc1yoydby.
i can actually remember at least a couple of instances where someone revealed they were gay on the doorstep to my partner and i and this didn't get rid of us immediately, but it did force us onto the back foot.

Just tell them you speak to 6 spirits and worship Satan, that normally does the trick.
