Fokyc,
SEEMED to dislike me!!
They find me totally abhorant; WHY?
It's for that very reason that Mr and Mrs Kaytee respect and admire you.Why, because what does light have to do with darkness
KT
PS. Is that adore,........... or abhore
there is an elder in my congregation who i feel dislikes me because i'm inactive and doesn't know what to do with me.
he seems to go on his business as soon as i walk in.
a couple of times as i was talking with a member of the congregation, he rudely interrupted my conversation and took the person by the shoulder and walked away as if his conversation was more important.. once i was talking to my mom( who is very sick and has many ailments but still makes it to some meetings)and this self-righteous elder walks right in our conversation and makes a rude comment about me in front of my mom.. this was the actual coversation we had to show you how self-righteous he is:.

I would say in my case most of the 9-10 elders disliked me, the reason being, and others like me will know, if you stand your ground and not curtail to them, you will inevitably upset them.
They had to make a public unreserved apology on the platform over a situation that they had handled very badly, I pursued them through a new C.O. over the matter, my spiritual progress was finished from then on.

The quickest I have known was the prodigal son,
But that was when man did not do the forgiving.

our exit from the watch tower society was fairly speedy.
within about 3 months, we'd ceased attending meetings and lost all of our friends (apart from hobo ken and his wife).. what was shocking - and only confirmed that we were right to leave - was how our decision was met by our so-called friends.. we were leaving behind people whom we'd enjoyed friendship for over 20 years.
we were leaving behind friends who were closer to us than our own families were.
password,
My wife and jumped off the bridge 8 years ago, we landed O.K., the water was deep and we had a soft landing.
The water was running fast, so we soon lost sight of the bridge and its onlookers.

did you ever notice that elders tend to "bend" the scriptures when counciling you.... to fit their view of you or of the situation?.
i wonder what goes on before hand.. if they are going to council someone over a certain matter... do they talk between themselves and decide from what angle they will approach the subject at hand?.
they complain about false religion taking the bible and making it fit what they want to do in their lives, but i feel that they do the same when they feel a certain way about you or a matter they are counciling you for.. .
It’s like putting a fox in charge of a hen house, just because he has a lot of experience with the chickens.
I found them, in general to be the lowest form of Christians, they were too fond of bending the rules themselves, but will instil it in others.

right now i am filled with burning hatred towards the wbts.
not just to what it has done to me and my family but to people all over the world.
i want to see nothing but the governing body exposed as the charlatans that they are and for all to see the great evil that is the wbts.
easyreader,
I feel exactly the same way you do, unlike us they have a multitude of legal persons to cope with most of what comes their way.
All we can do is to use what was one of their favourite sayings ;
"We will leave it to Jehovah"
I hope with all my heart I see that day.

for many years, i had serious issues with alot of scriptures.
the creation account, the flood, jonah in the whale, etc.
scriptures that are scientifically falsifiable.
kurtbethel,
"That would be going around telling people that Holy Spirit is not a person but is something mindless like electricity. It really grieves the old fellow and you will surely roast for that"
What exactly are you saying to me Kurtbethel, I have a deep love of Jehovah and Jesus Christ.
I spent 30 years in the wts having given away my very successful company to join them.
I thought I knew much of the bible in all that time, but even so there was parts that were a puzzle ! but because of their failure to adhere to Christian principles I found I could not go along with them, I still beleive I have Christian principles WITHOUT THEM.
What are you saying to me.
KT
no matter how stupid, they can not drop 1914 - far too embarassing.
When you try and fit the thousand year reign of Jesus Christ from 1914, (this according to jws), not forgetting the whole of the creative days, when you try and arrive at a simultaneous time at the end, it gets a bit confusing.

hi.. i have been a witness since birth (will be 30 years in june 2009).

i have an older brother and younger sister, both of which are witnesses.. i am married to a witness and live in cyprus (i am english).
delusion,
The one sure way my wife and I found, was to ask about the U,N, involvement, Paederphiles,607 bce accuracy, failed prophecies U.turn on blood.
Whilst asking and seeing them squirm you are putting any action that might take place away from yourself, and directly on to the shoulders and conscience of the elders.

To me the most puzzling accepting the bible to be true in every word ! was, Math.12 v 31 on this account I say to you, Every sort of sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the holy spirit will not be forgiven.
In 30 years I could never understand how you can sin against the "Holy Spirit".
Yet your life depends upon you knowing, you must not do this.
