  TeenageInsider,

  As Simon said: there's urgent and there's important.

  Your issue is very important, but less urgent. There is no need to act today.

  Please take your time before you do anything.

  It's very wise to ask for advise as you are doing now.

  I'll respond further in pm ASAP.

  SCRIPTURE TO READ TO JWs

  by somebody in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  two jws came to my door recently.

  i asked one of them to read ecclesiastes 9:5 for me.

  i then asked them if all living jws are knowing or believing or are conscious that they will die.

  God's (supposed) wisdom: (Ecclesiastes 9:5 NWT) 5 For the living are conscious that they will die;

  Satan's (supposed) lie: (Gen 3:4) At this the serpent said to the woman: “You positively will not die."

  Jehovah's Witnesses claim in 1918: "Millions Now Living Will Never Die”

  Your story is a bit confusing to me?

  What would you talk to the elders for?

  They are just misguided men that follow cult rules...possibly enjoying the authority they can exercise over people who don't know any better.

  I hope my comment doesn't put you off, but really...even the most sincere, good hearted and honest people can not be woken up by merely talking with them. It has to come from within themselves mainly.

  Don't put yourself in harms way by talking to elders please.

  They have no authority over anything or anyone but themselves. You don't owe them or any other JW any explanation for your future or past decisions.

  $40,000.00 USD, and counting.....

  by DATA-DOG in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i'm not sure if anyone is keeping track, but as of today, the wtbts has spent $40,000.00 usd to avoid releasing sensitive documents to the superior authorities.

  that's $40,000.00 usd of "dedicated funds.

  are you a born-in jw?

  @Greenhornet,
  Yes, possibly (depending on what the ordered documents actually say). But probably the documents are limited to whatever is relevant to this specific case.

  As for the fine, Watchtower has already flat-out refused to comply with this court order for some months now. The lost the appeal to nullify the order, so they cannot fight the legitimacy of the order. All that is left for them is ignoring the court order...and it is costing them.

  In August another court session will be held to see if Watchtower finally complied. If not, the fines may go up, or they will lose the trial by default.

  Welcome,

  This will make sure no browsing history, cookies etc. will be stored in the browser.
  In most environments this should be enough.

  Moral indignation against "faders" shows JW apologists are morally bankrupt

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i came across this weird blog that castigates fading jws for their "cowardice" and "hypocrisy" for not making themselves vulnerable to shunning.

  apparently in the view of this blogger jws who discover it's not the truth are morally obliged to play by the watchtower rules and face the consequences of shunning.. http://jwresearchblog.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/fading-faking-and-lying-as-unbelieving.html#comment-form.

  what is absent from the blog post is any discussion of the statement in the july 2009 awake!, that no one should be made to choose between their beliefs and their family.

  Yeah, saw that piece of nonsense before and commented. Not published of course.
  
  Commented again now: I love standing up for truth at least as much as you do.
  So I was shocked when Jackson didn't stand up for truth before the ARC. <insert 'that would be presumptuous...' quote here>.

  You never know what triggers the author's thinking...

  Who is this man that I love, the father of my children, the man I pledged to spend my life together?

  Unfortunately his personality has been replaced with a cult-approved personality.

  
  

  You have done well so far. Stay strong! You're not alone...
