  2017 Convention Video To Be Shown Regarding The 1975 Failure

  no mention whatsoever that it was watchtower themselves that strongly hinted towards this date.

  instead they blame those who "put their trust in a date, not jehovah".. let's recap... .

  Blues brother send Pale a message and he'll get to the bottom of it. It would be more unbelievable if it got pulled.

  Listener you are absolutely right on the money, this religion is all about control and these little sheep are not getting lost , mother WT will embrace your life with your full servitude to the holy men of Warwick. Read some of the realtime life stories on this forum where family unity is getting destroyed by religious dogma, grandmothers never meeting grandchildren because of disfellowshipping rules .

  i watched this video yesterday from this brave young north korean woman.

  hearing her share her experiences living in her country and what the people go through on a day to day basis is so very similar to jws today and how we lived.. please watch and tell me your thoughts.. thank you.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85ijj3insyk.

  Now that video is an example of the new world under the doctoral rule of WT incorporated. Imagine the punishment process dished out by the princes and their wayward children, we would end up like the tribes of Israel fighting for who is the most dominant tribe. My money would be on the one controlling the food supply.

  No war sounds good , but if you don't share your food , the young strong men take food and we end up with regions like Mogadishu . Seriously do the GB share literally any of their food for the local hungry. Community work is non existent. And that video of how North Koreans lived is exactly how the new world under WT would be. Talk against those in authority and you apostate would lose your head, but like the North Korean they will punish your relatives.

  The judge is a hero , the girl will hopefully one day realise that this man saved her life, instead JWs will refer to her as the girl raped by the medical establishment. Also welcome ironsnake and may your apostasy zeal be blessed.

  I got told or saw I can't remember, but it went along the lines of.... if a sister who was unmarried wore sexy lingerie to meet her male friend that would be a sign of guilt because no one is meant to see her knickers. The bullshit gets a mile high .

  Seriously , the seven popes cannot be taken seriously . I don't think any were chosen before 1935, so Rutherford would refer to these seven as apostates. JWs are right when they say false religious leaders are headed to Gehenna, The magic seven are the welcoming committee at the firery gates. You can't falsely misrepresent the bible and literally destroy families and then say do as I do. They sleep in their ivory watchtower knowing the personal details of what disfellowshipping has done to families. They know of hundreds of injustices but reason they are collateral damage from a theocratic war. In their minds god will reverse their mistakes, in my mind God might give them a dose of his own. But then again I don't think God cares.

  Do the maths and see what odds your recovery is and success rate, but no one can feel your pain and pain is a bastard. Me personally I wouldn't let no knife near my back , life has enough back stabbers. But seriously the people I've know who have undergone the knife ,it's about 50/50 on the regret side. I just don't trust anybody with a knife near my spinal cord.

  My Reverse-Shunning Letter To My Mother

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i mailed the below letter to my mother a few weeks ago.

  i did share it on the ex-jw facebook group but thought i'd post it here.. basically, she's shunned me since day 1, has little or nothing to do with my 3yo daughter and told my sister "i hope <my daughter> becomes a jw when she's older so i can welcome her into the family".

  well, that was the last straw for me..

  It just breaks my heart that a religion can have rules and regulations that are truly family destroying, to hear you say goodbye to your mother is killing my emotions toward this evil religion. No human is meant to ever write such letters, O'Pale I hope this hastens your healing process and you can come to terms with being an orphan. We all on here my friend are blessed to ride this journey with you and we WILL help enrich your life. I find it so difficult to comprehend a parent shunning a child, again hang in there, also I know what you did put your mother on notice and as a son you couldn't of done anything else.

  The Biblical reasoning behind a judicial comitee?

  by CitizenofEarth in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was wondering today what i would say if i ever were to be called to a judicial trial in the congregation, and my conclusion was that i didn't really have any biblical defense against it.

  so i was wondering what you guys would recommend.

  it seems far fetched to me that the bible condones a 1 vs 3 biased trial (where you already have been judged beforehand), instead of one where you have a unbiased judge, a defense and a prosecutor/accuser.

  Ask a Jw elder has he ever heard of a judicial committee that has forgiven someone on seven different occasions, if not ask him how do they follow Jesus's example of forgiving 77 times. Then ask how come the prodigal son didn't go through the reinstatement process.
