Ugh.
As I feared, the "success" of the Jeremiah book has prompted a sequel.
Once again, we'll get cherry-picked isolated scriptures that ignore meaning, context, and history, and instead re-inforce the behavioral dictates that the governing body wants its followers to adhere to.
How depressing.
here's the basic rundown:.
ok so little jw (21 going on 15) decides to get a job with a computer firm.
leaves family construction company to do so.
How dare they make a Drama about the prodigal son! The parable is the opposite of DFing and the actual heartless WT policy
i can't fathom it.
if i asked anyone in the last couple halls i've been in they wouldn't know.
it would seem to me that news like that would race around a circuit and spread like wildfire over the country.
Because it wasnt in the WT therefore it is all apostate forgeries and lies.
hello all, does anyone here have any news articles or proof of the wt paying out of court hush money to victims of child abuse for them to keep quiet?
any links would be appreciated..

And to ArbloesdeArabia, great comment.
i was talking to my jw daughter the other day and she surprisingly asked me what i believe now.
i stated i am now atheist and my reasons.
among other things she asked 'what is the purpose of life, then?
They think Hey! I dont give them power! But they do every time that they blindly obey a non biblical rule or policy. Doing this they think they are obeying Jehovah, because the GB has made the Organization synonomous with God himself. Dubs honestly think they are inseperable because the WT told them so.
If they obey the oral sex rule for instance. Not in the Bible, so the power has gone to the GB because what you do or dont do is directly related to whatever they decide on. The power is not with the individual as they have given up their power of thought and conscience to a small group of men.
This is further proof that this is indeed a CULT
even then it will be just be a sunday to see if the fall off come true, or not.. heck this year and next will probally just enough to make it look like i showed up for it.
thankfully i live around the city it's held in i so it's not a huge sacrafice..
I will be going this July, and may attend next year, but that is it. If I cant wake up my wife by then, I am ready to just let the chips fall where they may. I cant waste anymore of my life in this cult. Even if she was to leave me, thats fine. I am only 25 and I have my life ahead of me as heartbreaking as it may be. Gotta rip off the bandage at some point. Will it hurt??,, sure but if I dont do it I will rot away so to speak.
I wish for the best and truly do expect the worst.
it sucked.
the co said that the term, " the truth " means " truthful understanding of the scriptures.
" he also said that the truth does not change.
And they should be Banned. Dont want the R+F to be persecuted though, as this only reinforces in their minds that they are correct. Just want the GB and higher ups dissapeared and printouts of JWfacts being distributed as Watchtowers and be studied on Sundays so they can be deprogramed.
so my mom was telling me that my aunt is going to be hosting a gb member and wife, cos and do for dinner after their dc this summer.
i immediately blurt out, "that sounds stressful.
" which is met with dead silence.
lol @ whathappened. They should be satisfied with that. Their brother Christ said only one thing is needed
