i've been lurking about, checking out some of the evidence against the wtbs.

i am currently inactive but still an approved/baptized member.

i have seen all the 1914/607bce evidence; the blood transfusion quandry evidence; the current child abuse problem evidence and several other things that are damning to the wt doctrines.

Elders... Examples to the flock?
by Kagloo in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
a friend visited us today... it took about five minutes before we were having a general moan about the ways things are!

anyway.. these friends of ours were telling us about the things that go on in the families of elders in various congregations and how these guys are still in office.. .

now i thought that if you were 'appointed' it meant that you had god's blessing and approval... but how does that work out if you are allowing unscriptural things to go on in your own family and yet you are still in office?

several weeks ago i asked a lot of you here about the involvement with the un.

Do not forsake the gathering together ?
by KAYTEE in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
we feel that "the hand on the shoulder" and "the knock on the door" could be imminent.

question - if we become a christian rather than a jw how do we view hebrews 10:23-25 "do not forsake the gathering of ourselves together....... as the day draws near".

this is a question that is bugging us at the moment.

several weeks ago i heard of the wt owning stocks on dubious companies.

i logged into this board and i got a lead to regi us inc.'s filings to the sec stating watchtower's partial ownership.

UK & IRELAND MAP
by ballistic in
1. jw
2. friends
i had an idea that i could build a uk map of everyones location which would show you instantly who is in your area from jwd.. (it might be an idea to do a seperate us one aswell but i'll wait and see if this one takes off first, or if anyone from the us wants to volunteer to do that one).

(and australia but you are all in the same backyard anyway - literally!!!).

anyway, all you have to do is post or email me your username and town and i will draw you on the map above which will change gradually to include everyone!.

.

the earlier in the forenoon you take the sun bath, the greater will be the beneficial effect, because you get more of the ultra-violet rays, which are healing.

after much deliberation, i decided to go "out" at the end of a public talk.

it didn't go down too well, but at least i was able to give some of my reasons for leaving.. i've put some of the details on my homepage.

i'll update it more when i get the time and the strength.
