i have read a great deal from the silentlamb's web site, not to mention other sites that are following this atrocity!
it would seem to me, and you can probibly bet, when something like this comes to the attention of the elders; that all of thier children are warned to stay clear of "publisher alleged child abuser"!
even though they are supposed to be "hush-hush" about it.
For christians who believe in christ, he is the organisation. He leads every christian himself. Any orgs that his followers may belong to are merely surface images having little effect on the inner being. For instance, just because a person goes to macdonalds, he doesn't become a hamburger.
YouKnownothings prophecies have no relavance in this structure.
Back to silent lambs.

i just want to know if jws that have been in the "truth" all their lives, having given all for the "kingdom" die in peace or whether in the autumn and winters of their lives, they are stung by nagging intrusive thoughts... "i have given my whole life to this organisation and where is the new system?".
i ask because these people were taught they were in "the last days" when they grew up many decades or even a century ago.
how can someone go that long believeing it was going to be tommorrow?

I believed for 30 years. when is stopped , i got out. Maybe there are a lot who know stuff is wrong, but they still believe the core stuff, like the paradise, armageddon at some time or other. They believe that the group will be saved.

here are some questions i have prepeared for my elders if and when they deside to visit me.. anymore you can suggest?.
questions?.
1. gentile times.. a. why do we believe in such a thing as the gentile times?

Asking those poor defenseless elders those questions is like pulling their pants down in public. Sure, their faces will turn red and they will huff, puff, and beat their chests. Better bring ear plugs. Remember to insist on bringing a 'nuetral' observer, like a lawyer or an apostate when the big meeting comes.

written by timothy campbell .
ex-witnesses, and witnesses with grave doubts about the society, often ask the question, "if the witnesses aren't the true religion, what is?".
some people who have disconnected from the society refrain from asking this question.

I have come to the conclusion that there are as many true religions as there are people.
Groupthink is for kids. But it is ok to be in this stage. In other words each has his/her own path which he/she can follow. No punishment if they don't, just wasted time and missed opportunities.
How many of us are stuck in loops that we don't really like being in? It's up to us to get out when we are ready, then get on our path.

an apology from dave wiltshire to you know!.
after looking at jude 8,9 i feel i owe you know an apology.. look what it says:.
in like manner not withstanding, these men, too, indulging in dreams, are defiling the flesh and disregarding lordship and speaking abusively of glorious ones.
Jesus/michael/archangel is an angel, but he is not just any angel, he's a SUPER angel with a special suit that his father gave him in 1914 when superj started ruling all over the place. He rules even where there are no places.
His suit has see in the night goggles. That's how he could spot the devil hiding in the darkness. Superj can fly faster than any other angels too. He's so strong that, even if all the other angels challenged him to an arm wrestle all at the same time, he could put them all down.
Superj is smarter than all the other angels put together as well. All the other angels always were frazzled because of the tricks that satan, who was also smarter than all the other angels, played on them. But all that changed in 1914 when jesus became superj. The first thing superj did was kick the snot out of satan. Poor satan hid in a hole in the centre of the earth. Since then satan hasn't dared to leave his hole.
