Australia's biggest con man of 2006 - A Jehovah's Witness.

by jwfacts in

firepower is a company that manufactures pills alleged to make petrol more efficient.

i personally know people that have invested in this company and millions of dollars have been raised on the basis that the company was about to list at a value of $3.5 billion dollars.

the ceo just purchased a $8 million house, a number of sports clubs and a $3million in russell crowes football club.

My wife’s parents are 90 odd years of age, they are not Jw’s .

If they die today, and Armageddon comes next week, according to the witnesses they will receive a resurrection Acts.24 v 15.

If they live until Armageddon (next week) they will be destroyed by God .

In that 1-week they would NOT have changed their life stile one bit.

How can the society depict God in this way.

Does that sought of thing not smack in the face of all common sense.?

Disfellowshipping - How long to return?

by CaptK in

jw
friends

does anybody know how long it takes for one to get re-instated if you are not that well liked by the body of elders?

i was disfellowshiped for immorality almost 2 years ago.

with my job and attending college to keep in step with my field of work, i have only been attending the sunday talk & wt meeting every week.

KAYTEE

As many have already said, having found out all that they have done that is extremely.

Unchristian how can you even think of returning to THAT.

It’s like a dog returning to it’s own vomit

It is something that only you personally can decide, but ask yourself what is it that you wan’t out of life??

Do you really wan’t to be a slave, a YES MAN to a bunch of trumped up little F***S.

PUNISHED by WBTS for obeying conscience.

i have a friend well call michael whose conscience landed him in trouble with hq.. .

he was a district overseer in the pre 75 era but his conscience would not allow him to .

endorse the unscriptural date setting.

KAYTEE

I should think that the majority of ones on this board have been punished by the organisation for using their conscience.

But if we have principles then we can expect that from this type of a person and cult.

My thinking when arguing with these glorious ones is;

NEVER ARGUE WITH A FOOL …….HE’LL BRING YOU DOWN TO HIS LEVEL THEN BEAT YOU WITH EXPERIENCE.

OutKasted ;-P

by SpaWn of MeDusa in

hello in there ;-p. wow wow wow.... i never knew such a place existed.... unfortunatly i don't have a lot of time to type right now & believe me i'd need days, perhaps even weeks & i'd probably still feel like i wasn't done.... in short... my name is jodie, i'm from australia, i'm about to turn 32 & i am a jehovah's witness outkast... i wasn't kicked out, i left of my own accord when my parents divorced & i was about 14... my father, my younger brother & me - the 3 black sheep !!

my father was disfellowshipped, he was an elder who also happened to have bi polar... the day ( or technically night ) my father was disfellowshipped was the saddest time of my life - it was more like a death or a funeral, something tragic... when my parents divorced i went to live with dad, i was always closer to my father plus when he left he had nothing... he lived on the river bank in the middle of winter for 6 weeks in a tent ( while his good christian jehovah's witness father & sister slept warm in their beds in the same town... ) dad bought a little caravan & he & i lived in it, eventually he bought some land & built a house & my younger brother joined us.... anyway to cut it all short... i've suffered badly from depression - so badly it's almost killed me & my brother also... the crux of our depression is our mother, our sister's, our grandfather, our aunt's & all of our relatives are jehovah's witnesses - most of them live in the same town as us altho they may as well live on the other side of the world.... you know, sitting here thinking about it all - it all makes perfect sense... how can families be torn apart like this, how do they not realise it is wrong & sad & wicked ??.

i've spent more than half my life trying to have any sort of relationship with the rest of my family.... anyway i have to get going.... hasta la vista .

"Must We Always Tell The Truth?" WT Feb.1

by Cellist in

jw
friends

if this has been brought up already, i apologize.

but, we just received the latest magazine with the title, "must we always tell the truth?".

i was curious to see how they handled this topic, with their "theocratic warfare" (aka lying) in mind.

KAYTEE

The Watchtower Society IS a lying orgainization. It's hardly surprising that it is full of liars.

My unfortunate experience of them all is that they love twisting everything, including what you say to them.

One thing I loathe with a vengeance is lying......so I suppose that explains my feelings about JWs and the WTBTS! (Gill)

"MARKED" as undesireable association because of college

by LexWatson in

"i" who was marked as someone bad to associate with simply because i wanted to make enough to support my family and the approved professions (which our congregation was already saturated with) of window washers, carpet cleaners, janitorial services, and siding and window replacement workers did not appeal to me.

.

KAYTEE

The organisation have always frowned on higher education, as you say the majority end up as window cleaners (not that I have any thing against window cleaners), but didn’t Jesus himself learn carpentry?

Where would the society themselves be now if everyone was window cleaners, are there not highly educated people in the org, how could they achieve what they have if they did not have a broad range of skills.

Wasn’t ONLY skilled men used to manufacture the Ark of the covenant !!

Wasn’t the apostle Paul a skilled craftsman!!

There has been too many witnesses failed to meet their marriage responsibilities later in life because of not pursuing a career.

Hello Jodie,

It’s great that you have seen them for what they are, my wife and I was duped for 30years before we saw their unchristian ways, that’s not to say we didn’t have any run ins with them, but we kept making excuses for them.

It was the U.N. 607bce and many other things that made us realise that they did not have Jehovah’s backing.

It’s good to hear you are backing your dad, the others may need more time.

Having spent 30 years as a witness I have learnt more about the bible in these last few years than I ever did with the that Organisation.

You will get help knowledge and "TRUTH" from this site, something sadly lacking from the WTS.

Welcome to you,

From Kaytee and twink.
