  The org and going beyond what is written

  hello there.. my father just claimed that the good thing about being a witness was how they just let the bible interpret itself.

  now i know the irony in this statement, but i dont know what to show him that he just cant discard with some ignorant excuse.

  any ideas?

  Poor old Raymond, he didn't even have bitterness that some here have ( me included ). He really showed how democratic the whole voting process was , and innocent brothers died in countries for a simple government issued identity card ( Malawi ) and at the same time in history these guys sitting at the magic table of god on Wednesdays let the brothers in Mexico bribe gov officials to say they had served their military conscription time. Old Raymond has no problem explaining the wranglings of politics to get change. He also said most time on GB was dealing with complex judicial rulings and we know how this church loves rulings.

  Southern California USA Congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses On High Alert

  by JW GoneBad in

  2. beliefs

  circuit overseers, elders, ministerial servants, pioneers and rank & file are stressed out over an ex-jw (kevin) who has visited nearly 20 congregations (orange county) and has high-jacked the opening prayers and done some effective witnessing before he is escorted to the back door.

  and everything is caught on video!.

  kevin is also visiting numerous jw cart locations from the los angeles area to orange county and giving a most effective wiitness at each location and they're all on video.

  Did you ever have a discussion with an apostate that helped your journey out.

  there seems to be a number of different ways that apostates try to get jehovah's witnesses realise they do not have the truth, ranging from subtle comments to aggressive attacks.

  do you have any that looking back helped you finally leave.

  some of the methods include:.

  There is no answer to suicide bombers they have the element

  of surprise and target is usually reached. Some suicide bombers are children and people generally don't expect evil in the form of a child. There's no way in the world I would like to be soldier at check point in Baghdad, car bombers , women who have lost husbands decide

  to join their husbands , then it becomes cyclical. I suggest the core of problems lies in immigration.

  "Privileges"

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  within the organization, jehovah's witnesses know that they must be dutiful and set an example for "worldly ones" as well as for their own brotherhood.

  if a witness fails in setting the proper example, they may lose some 'privileges"..... what privileges did you look to have and what privileges did you lose?

  ?.

  The only privilege I can rightly call a privilege is the last steps of the walk out of the KH with head held high knowing I'm not coming back. We all lost waisted years in the cult , but one day out is better than a thousand in.
