  Wait a minute, masturbation is usually done in solitude, so no second witness. Therefore, according to scripture, I can not be brought to a judicial committee, even if I admit doing it. Where's the 2nd witness?

  to the person who reported me to the elders from here - thank you for making me be able to leave the organisation a whole lot easier and sooner than i'd planned.

  you did me a huge favour 😊.

  This is my story

  i've already posted in this forum but i haven't told you my story.

  nowadays i'm a pimo in my late 20s from spain.. i was born in the cult and i can say that during my whole childhood and most of my teenage years i believed in this.

  however, i felt that here was something wrong with me, as i wasn't comfortable telling people i was jw, talking about jw stuff, nor did i feel "excited" and "grateful" whenever a watchtower publication told me that i should.

  Escapar del culto es la mas dificil decision, pero tambien es la mejor. Enhorabuena hermano! Te felicito por tu valor para mantener tu integridad a pesar del precio tan alto que vas a pagar. Adelante, con la cabeza en alto y con la confianza de que has tomado la mejor decision hacia una vida mas feliz y satisfactoria

  so this morning i had a conversation with my grandmother about going out in service.

  remind you i'm only 17. i tried to ask her why i had to go out in service if this isn't what i believe in and whatnot.

  she went on saying basically these are the rules for this house.

  Hey! you already got good advice. Let me add one more. I have heard time and time again in this forum that one of the few things of having been a witness is that one acquires skill and confidence when speaking in public. Turn this heavy burden of being a fake JW into an opportunity to develop a skill that will serve you well for a lifetime. We know the JW stuff is all bullshit, but you can tone it down and put to practice your public speaking skills and the art of persuasion with total strangers, even attempt to influence them. This type of skill, if mastered, is worth the BIG bucks.

  When Will Jehovah`s Witnesses Appoint A Woman As A Governing Body Member.? It`s Long Overdue !

  by smiddy3 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jehovah himself gives the saying "the women telling the good news are a large army" psalms 68 : 11 coupled with the fact that a good portion of women partake of the emblems and wine at the annual memorial celebration.. identifying themselves as part of the 144000 that are taken from the earth to rule with christ jesus in the heavens.. isn`t it about time they were recognized for their contributions and given the fact that gods word the bible clearly states that 144,000 of anointed are to be taken from the earth which many women are a large part of.?.

  revelation ch.14 :4 could be argued that they are not lesbians { "these are the ones who do not defile themselves with women ,in fact they are virgins, etc,etc.}.

  i wonder just how many men who claim to be of the anointed have not defiled themselves with women and are virgins.?.

  @scratchme"The same applies to a number of people who have equally devoted their lives for decades and have gone nowhere in that organization. Why do you single out women? What is so special about them over other people?"

  For beginners is 50% of the population

  and 66% of the membership of JW's

  and they are 100% excluded from any position of teaching according to Bible interpretation
  

  and they are a lot more observant of Christian values than men (yeah, those aggressive, conceited, cruel, competitive, horny bastards).

  Is that enough???

  We will see a male Chihuahua appointed as a member of the Governing Body before a smart, spiritual woman is appointed. And her chances are below male rats if she exercises in tight pants.

  The Boyfriend Pillow! - The Governing Body's worst nightmare!!??

  https://www.boyfriendpillow.com.au/.

  with all the focus on the new anti-masturbation vide telling all bethelites not to sleep inappropriately with a pillow, surely this has to be the very item that will send the gb into fits of despair?

  Bethel,

  I didn't know they had been in the movie business in the 60's. It's a long tradition going back to brother C.T. Russell.

  Calling Cofty and others regarding evolution

  by dubstepped in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i have started down the path of trying to understand evolution, and to get the linear lies that the jws planted in my head out of it.

  i bought an audiobook called "evolution: what the fossils say and why it matters" by donald prothero.

  i heard it recommended on an atheist podcast that i listened to.

  Old Navy,

  You and people like you are the very reason I turned from being indifferent to Christianity to being hateful of it. The combination of ignorance and arrogance are usually not seen together in the fields of science, but in fundamentalist Christianity is the rule with no exceptions.

  Gordon Nehemia - Finding God's holy name with full vowels

  by Da.Furious in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was just sent a link to a jewish scholar that apparently he has found 1,000 manuscripts with yehovah and latest discovery is one with vowels that supports the spelling yehovah.

  so this pits the myth that jews have forgotten the name into rest.. i got excited jws about the finding in support of the nwt showing the name as it should be.. just wanted to share this with you guys.. link to the blog and podcat: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/1000-manuscripts-yehovah#more-13611.

  also link to michael rood (blog:https://www.michaelrood.tv/) interview who is his friend:.

  " I am who I am", that's God's name. Moses turned it into the third person "He is who he is" and therefore the initials YHWH. The writers of Genesis and Exodus liked having fun with names, puns and word games. God was just fooling around with Moses.

  This is the theory that I like best. It fits the style of the J writer.
