anyone seen this site and marvelled at the ignorance and credulity of the anonymous writer.
read the condescending letter on the last page.
we can come back to the borg.
Nice to hear from you again Hawkaw
I've just checked out the info on this apologist site.
I'm puzzled that the JWs who claim to be "God's spirit directed Organisation" can use the "apostates" to bring to their attention that they had done something wrong !
Kaytee
this is something that has always puzzled me.
genesis 10 v 5 - "...the population was spread about in their lands according to its tongues".
genesis 11 v 1 - "...now all the earth continued to be of one tongue and one set of words".

Genesis 10 v 5 - "...the population was spread about in their lands according to its tongues"
Genesis 11 v 1 - "...now all the earth continued to be of one tongue and one set of words"
(both taken from the NWT)
Any ideas re: this apparent contradiction.
Kaytee
are you angry that you ever got involved in this religion??
depressed??
confused??
anger and embarrassment at being duped so easily, if they had only joined the UN 30 years ago, i f only I had studied the history of this cult,if if if.

Welcome back Mac
We are so sorry to hear that you have lost loved ones.
It will be good for you and definately for the rest of us on this board, to have you back posting here.
Some-one mentioned that you were involved in the revealing of the WT association with the UN, so we owe you a very big thank you. It was the bombshell that made us sit up and take notice, after being in the JWs for over 30 years.
We look forward to hearing your latest thread
Kaytee & Twinkletoes
maybe wtbs should reconsider bringing "the generation" doctrine back on the agenda lol.

i haven't been to meetings in a long time (trying to fade).
ever so often i do run into a witness or 2 who are friendly, but reserved (after all i am considered in active).
anyway, my hubby & i are currently working on a letter to send to the society that will more then likely get us df'd or disassociated (same thing i guess).
Dear PeachRose & Hubby
You're not "spiritually weak" - you are stronger now than you have ever been. Personally speaking, I would use that strength to discuss with them on the subject that they may not want to talk about i.e. 1914 failure, 1925 failure, 607 failure, UN involvement, Paedophilia issues, U Turn on Blood teachings etc. This was our strength (my wife & I) - rather than us feeling weak and inadequate, we found them (spiritual leaders) to be totally at loss to give an answer .
We are looking forward to hearing how you handled their visit, If it should arrive.

we had a thread yesterday about how many years we spent in the wts, so let's total up how many years it is since we lef or, if you are fading, since you last attended a meeting.. it's just over a year since i last went, and almost 7 since my bf last went, so our total is 8 years.. feel free to add your years out.
For my wife, Twinkletoes
About 4 1/2 years - she stopped going to meetings sooner then I did. It took me longer to actually believe that the Org. could have been involved with the UN.

there are many things that i could say....many true accounts that i could attest to of unjust acts done to people and inexcusable sufferings caused by many in the congregations of jehovah's witness to others, at times by myself as well sadly, but there is nothing anyone can do now to make up for the wrongs that have been done to those that have been hurt....leave it in jehovah's hands that is what i have been told by those in charge., this has always been the answer....so i will do just that knowing that he will repay those who have treated others so badly and that continue to do so.
Apart from the children being taken away (which I'm very sad for you) your story - brief as it was- was almost identical to ours. We must therefore assume that there must be hundreds if not thousands in the same position. We came out of the Org. when we found out about the UN involvement, up to then we would NEVER have believed, in a million years, that they could perform such a hypocritical act. This was revealed in the Guardian newspaper (UK) a few years back, we took almost a year to verify and investigate many other aspects of the Org. especially the early years and could not go along with it
When you think of all the publications that we studied re the UN being satan's visible organisation, and to have found out their involvement was just unbelievable. How could we accept all of their propaganda and give beautiful answers in group studies regarding the UN and now accept the thinking of the Org. We feel that we have principles and therefore we sent in our resignation with questions also like yourself on paedophilia, 607date, blood issue, failed prophecies etc. the Org. did not respond to our letter and neither did the body of elders in the Hereford congregation (england) How pleased the three elders must have been to sign our disfellowshipping letter which arrived on the very last day that we gave them as a deadline to respond to the many questions of great concern that we had.
All of this - after over thirty years in the Org.!!
Well done Arwen for standing up for your Christian principles. We look forward to hearing from you again.
