this months broadcast is presented by losche and he discusses the need for trust in the fds.
the following is transcribed from the 12.30 mark.. satan also has the scheme to spread rumors about our brothers including the faithful slave.
the method of spreading rumors is not new.
Hahahaha! Wondered when they would come up with something to address his performance in court.
For those of us who watched the videos and read the transcripts, the "out of context" cover up won't fly. There will be millions who have no clue to what they are referring and will not bother looking into it. The GB wouldn't lie to us now would they?
i haven't stopped laughing since i heard this.
a pimo in my last congregation told me that an elder has been removed from his elder position.
apparently he grabbed another elder by the throat, put him up against a wall in the back room and punched him in on the nose... during an elders meeting on thursday evening after the meeting.. the congregation were running round like headless chickens wondering what to do?
So much humility and love in those elders meetings.
A friend of mine years ago said he hated going to the elders meetings because of the fights and disagreements.
Don't let the opinion of one forum member stop you from posting Pale. We love reading your experiences and thoughts.
it seems that irwin zalkin has obtained undisclosed settlement in the case.
the $4000 a day fine then seems to be dead.
the downside?
My mother is an average rank and file member and she has no problem with the money going on law suits because apparently "it says that is what Jehovah wants".
The mind boggles.
i met a wonderful man on match.com several months ago.
on our first date, there was amazing chemistry and we ended up having sex.
it was not planned, it just happened.
So there are a few issues here.
He grew up a witness which means in maturity he will be way behind other men of his own age - proof is the hour long crying show.
His family obviously want him to get baptized and he is under pressure to do what he is told.
He wants you in his life but that will only be allowed if you become a JW.
The fact that he had sex with you is a big problem which is only tolerated by his mother due to the fact that he cannot be excommunicated at this point because he is not baptized.
You will forever be a reminder of his error and trigger of guilt for him and therefore this relationship cannot last.
You DO NOT want to be a JW.
Your only course of action is to end it unless you love him enough to give up your entire way of life and become a good house wife, a yes woman, in subjection to this immature man as your head, giving up your own family and friends and never again make a decision without asking what "the organization" has to say on the matter.
I've said it before, I say it again - run away, change your number and be happy, single and free.
what if a gb member all-of-a-sudden thought he was no longer anointed??.
what could possibly happen?
?.
Nothing would happen. They would not tell. No one would ever know and they could continue living in the way to which they have become accustomed.
by evolution or by creation?
by evolution or by creation?
"the bible is a myth" and "evolution is true".
And that's how they do it
so this week's midweek meeting video about stumbling others has lett spouting and gurning rubbish again.. if you can't take the whole 9 minutes go from 5:50 to get the context and 6:45 for the "beard" mention.. https://youtu.be/ezv1ici5cwo.
oh, well - at least they shoot themselves in the foot with this doublespeak.
single.
Hahahaha! OMG these guys are hilarious. How do they give these talks with a straight face?
THEY, the GB, who are the only emblem partakers without mental issues, the ones who change their minds about life effecting doctrines and rules, the ones who seem to talk without thinking first and live in a bubble, are the ones doing all the stumbling.
If God does indeed exist he will "pitch them into the firey furnace" for being things that cause stumbling according to Matthew 13:41, 42. Unless of course they have changed the words of that scripture too. Lol.

Please re read your last post. He turns up the charm when he is afraid to lose you. He has a good heart and is super affectionate etc. Then you say your needs are not being met and that you doubt you could count on him in a crisis.
He is a manipulator and not someone that can be trusted. Trust your gut and choose wisely.

Match.com and sex before marriage.
This man is NOT a JW. He may have been brought up as one and his family are but deep down he is not and he does not want to be honest with them or himself.
Guaranteed, his family do not know about you and your relationship with him and when he introduces you to his mother for your "bible study" he will tell them you are actually interested in the "truth" and it would not be appropriate for him to study with you because you are of the opposite sex. He will play the game and portray himself as a "rule following, christian", for the benefit of his family and the congregation.
Once you have been "converted" he knows you would never tell of your relationship as consequences would now be had for you and him and so all the power lies with him to choose to make your relationship formal or to drop you like a hot potato. You will have no power or say in what happens.
He may be interested in you and be enjoying your "company" but in no way should you consider this as love. Love is what everyone deserves in a long term relationship. There are more fish in the sea.
Change your phone number and run as fast as you can from this one.
when i was a young man growing up in the religion, i would try to defend whatever the understanding of a doctrine was.
i won a lot of arguments based on the idea that i knew better than anyone i was talking to and defended myself admirably.
(lol)....eventually, i realized i was in a cult but for many years i was a believer and i had faith that the gb knew more that i could understand..
Yes did. Believed all of it. Thought it unusual that others couldn't understand that it was the truth.
Then I had children and I needed to answer their questions and explain what I believed to them and it didn't make sense anymore.
