When the epiphany happened and I no longer believed ,next week to the horror of my wife I celebrated birthdays. I tried to reason with her about the angels celebrating jesus's birth or that in biblical history they kept count of their ages. Life is to short, start celebrating what you feel comfortable with. We can start with little things ( if you have little ones it could be the tooth fairy).

Even Moses wouldn't qualify if he was over fifty and couldn't self support. It has nothing to do with qualifications, but what liabilities one brings to the WT table. Holy Spirit has zero,nothing,zilch with this process.

If those Wednesday meetings were made public for the average publisher to hear , half would be gone over night, the other half are loonie so no matter what was said they would stay.

Anthony Morris III Autobiography ... The Real Truth
by Wild_Thing inthe watchtower published anthony morris iii's autobiography last year ... "remembering my first love has helped me to endure" by anthony morris iii.
i absolutely cannot believe how quickly he became a jehovah's witness.
in the span of less than a year, he attended his first meeting, studied, got baptized, became a pioneer, and married a jw girl.

If I wrote my own autobiography could I get a religion to promote it. My autobiography would read crazier than theirs, except I don't hear voices in my head like they do. I can guarantee that mine is John the Baptist crazy . My mother said she wants to write a book about her three sons, the title "The priest,The prophet, The poof." My brother is catholic priest, I'm the prophet ( xjw ). Other brother is gay. I wonder if JW.org is interested in play rights.

If anyone claimed that god speaks to them personally.....
by jambon1 inthey'd be viewed as completely mentally ill and laughed at.. so, how do the governing body get away with it?.

The governing body of the sixties would think apostasy has crept into head office based on all of them claiming anointed status after 1935. Being directed by Holy Spirit is their divine appointment just like JC ,except there is no appeal committee ,to ask God if he chose Big Tony Morris on what merits.

Undecided

i saw a group of jws gathered in the town car park yesterday.

Is changing the "truth" / presenting "new light" really so bad?
by Zana inplaying devil's advocate here.... what's the difference between the gb changing bible interpretations compared to parliaments all over the world changing laws?
although the us constitution (=bible) remains untouched, congress passes i don't know how many new laws every year.
and of course people are expected to follow them.

Hypocritical video on jw.org "what's a real friend."
by stuckinarut2 inhave you watched the 4 min animated white board drawing video on jw.org called "what's a real friend?".
it is one of the most hypocritical pieces they have produced!.
it goes into detail explaining that real friends "don't judge you, dont talk about you behind your back, don't hold grudges, don't expect you to conform, and encourage individuality!".

Christ said a real friend helps ANY person in need. Turn up at bethel and tell them you need shelter and food for two days and the representative of bethel will show you who your real friends are.

2 month ago I had maybe seven good friends from JWs , today stands at 0.5. Can you see the trajectory trend . My " worldly" friends remain the same . I rejected my worldly associations 27 years ago, yet these friends take me back with no conditions. Yet all my JW friends who I would trust my life with have rejected me due to differing religious opinion. They call me an apostate, even when I quote their own literature. I know it's the same old story for most of us here , I just didn't realise how blind or narrow minded they are. I should have when we offered people our JW literature yet refused their books .Its a lonely road being a whistle blower.
