watchtower october 2017, page 11, par.
17 - confess and abandon secret sins.
some christians who have committed a serious sin try to cover it over in order to avoid embarrassing themselves or disappointing others.
"It can hinder the flow of God’s spirit and threaten the peace of the entire congregation."
Damn right!
Proof this organization doesn't have one iota of God's spirit. The leaders have been lying and hiding their sins for over 100 years. Hypocrites!!
Reminds of the biggest truth ever spoken by the judge : " Religion is a snare and a racket"

re: race.
.
"his race" What the hell was that? A blunder, mischief from an undercover apostate, stupidity or racism?
my little brother on the left exited the cult after 29 years.. me in the middle.. my older brother on the right stopped his bible study after discovering ttatton youtube videos.. never lose hope guys!.
.
Wonderful!
Little by little, one publisher at a time, the watchtower will go into the heap of popular cults of the past
absolutely thrilled to give you the news that my younger brother, a zealous full-time pioneer has left the witnesses!!.
i haven't seen or spoke to him in a year.
i'd lost all contact with him, no facebook, no mobile number, i didn't even know his address because he'd moved house.
Absolutely the best news in a while. So happy for you two!
hello community!
quick background - baptized 1971, 46 years in the borg, former elder.
wife - baptized 1973, pioneer...... we became disgusted with the oranization 10 years ago but still believed it was the truth.
Great post tight pants. Good writing too. If you live near los Angeles I will buy a drink. Don't worry about my being a spy or a snitch. I could have gotten my "Evil Apostate" certification with flying colors a long time ago, but a minor technicality makes it impossible; I was never a JW.
i was wondering if you guys think if the general public cares about our stories or if they even care what the watchtower does to people??
?.
Do non JW-care? Only if they were part of a cult themselves. Otherwise, JW world is a remote place of weird people who don't celebrate Christmas or birthdays.
Even the young guys and ladies raised in the "truth" don't care much, especially if they were never dunked in the pool.
i sent the following letter to my older brother, a jw elder in grand prairie, texas, who actively shuns me since i left the religion for conscientious reasons two years ago.. may 11, 2017. dear ronnie,.
in the opening scenes of the movie gone with the wind, a field worker hollers out, “”quttin’ time!” big sam protests, saying, “i’s da fo’man on tara.
i sez when it’s quittin’ time.
SBF:
Editing comments to add content not related to Cofty's comment?? So Watchtoweresque.
"what will go when god's kingdom comes?
" from april w/tower.
we start with a picture of jesus riding a white horse into battle, galloping towards terrified people in darkness.
"Dont worry - goD will show them. Kill them all - including 50 million unborn babies (isnt that abortion?) and 150 Million babies under 1 year old."
The logic and math don't work here.
For 9 months we gather 50 million (unborn). You just add three more months (to complete one year) and we are supposed to believe it is possible to have an extra 100 million. That's going to be one busy quarter working at a rate six times the rate of the previous 9 months. That's a miracle
a judge in the uk has ordered strict limits on a jw father's ability to let the watchtower indoctrinate his child.
not sure if this is precedent setting, but i think the judge is spot on.
the reasons are explained in the article.. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/06/11/jehovahs-witness-agrees-not-show-son-religious-cartoons-risk/.
I like the decision, but surprised the judge went that far. The "freedom of religion", or in this case the freedom to indoctrinate, is being restricted for parents, and freedom from religion is more available to children. I like it!
dear friends, we were so touched by your warm welcome and all of your comments to my ballroom dancing post.
thank you so much for your kindness.. i have more to tell you, but i wanted to share this with you.
we have a son that has been disfellowshipped for 18 years for smoking.
Wonderful story! Please tell us the rest.
