Changing Name from Jehovahs witnesses to governing body followers?

by LovingLifeNow in

jw
friends

first off, they are not changing there name.

but i was thinking this morning that it wouldnt be that far fetched to do so.

i mean they could use the spin, " we have so much new light and the times are so close, that we need to be obedient to the fds," there have been many changes in the organization so we don't want to be associated with the old name, but again more then ever we need to be obedient" .

Alex Bogdanov

Yes, they should. Good idea. Instead of Governing body they need to put Satan. Satan is a lier, so is the GB. So Satan followers would be very much appropriate.

... they've accepted me!

finance is already sorted - they're waiting for me to give them my new student number so that they can start paying me.

just need to formally accept bristol's offer and sort out accommodation.. accommodation should be ok - i've been told priority is given to new students, plus i'm enrolling onto a program for a real degree as a postgraduate - i won't be studying gender studies or some crap like that.

Alex Bogdanov

I have been in Bristol numerous times, beautiful place. I wish you to have an excellent time during your studies and all the best on your future essays and diploma works

The disfellowshipping of JWdoctrine

by jwdoctrine in

jw
friends

it's been a long way coming.

after 49 years as a jehovah's witness 3 of which in prison as a conscientious objector under very harsh conditions i have finally disassociated myself.

for the past 2 years, i have been partaking from the emblems and that led to an intense persecution, harassment, online stalking and defamation of character.

Alex Bogdanov

Congratulations JWdoctrine. My best wishes to you on your new life

https://medium.com/s/story/the-rise-and-fall-of-mentally-retarded-e3b9eea23018.

it's something!.

Alex Bogdanov

That was a good article for me. Interesting to read how English language is changing

Can you disassociate on your last judicial committee for apostasy?

by jwdoctrine in

jw
friends

hi guys, i have been summoned to a judicial committee for apostasy.

i'm going to disassociate anyway but i don't want to miss the fun .i'm thinking of handing my letter of dissociation on the night of the committee.do you think this is a good idea?.

as i said i have already made my mind up.

Alex Bogdanov

It all depends how much do you want to wind them up. When elders met with me I was very straight forward and didn't make the conversation easy. There was only one elder that was a great guy and I always tried not to hurt his feelings. With all the other elders I behaved exactly the same way they were behaving with other brothers and sisters - arrogant, disrespectful and not kind

New abbreviation POMOSI

by NeedToKnow in

i was thinking that i’m not exactly pomo but more pomosi - physically out mentally out spiritually in.. anyone who is familiar with the life of raymond franz may understand what i mean.

so i haven’t been to meetings in a while and i’m so over the whole mind control thing but i do love jehovah and believe in his purpose for us.

the org doesn’t go about it properly imo so i have been doing my own reading and understanding.

Alex Bogdanov

Hi Needtoknow,

Well done on starting the real journey to find Jehovah. I was a JW for a long time, but I am not anymore. The org helped me to understand more about religion and how it uses people. I came to realise that I became much closer with God since I left. I don't personally believe that God's name is Jehovah. But I fully understand where you are coming from and I wish you all the best in your spiritual life.

Shunning Part B

by new boy in

jw
friends

i was shunned in high school.. did i do something inappropriate?

nope, i was the perfect jehovah’s witness child.

i was guilty by association.

Alex Bogdanov

Hi new boy

Yes, sadly thats how it is. The longer I was a JW there more I saw that it is not a religion of love, but some type of religious fanatical cult where people serve the Governing body. Luckily I have stopped doing JW things since I am 20. I am not difed. But some of my local JWs really don't like me
