hi friends,it has been 20 years that i've slaved for the wt and through out the past couple of years i could feel myself fighting an urge to accept that something was not right.
i fought it off for so long only for it to resurface frequently throughout my years of pioneering, assembly/convention parts, & speaking with people about the "truth", slaving and giving to try to be a "spiritual person" but in reality i was not spiritual because spirituality (according to the org) is doing all of the things they want you to do.
which then will label you as spiritual... no !!!
Defianttruth very nicely laid out a systematic way of deconstructing a tightly held core belief.
Another poster recommended you do the same for the elements that you believe might be "iffy" and I agree.
Remember,
“The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.”
Proverbs 18:17 ESV
the problem is i have a baptized witness going out on service door to door giveing comments at kh who for the last 4 years has had sex with at least 10 prostitutes and regularly takes drugs ie speed the cong has no idea he's doing this he says he will never go to elders for fear his family will shun him if df so he continues i know because he tells me everything should i tell the elders or not.
OMG...
poopie how old are you?
Is this Seriously a question?
Grow up. Mind your own business
anyone else at this zone visit?.
more higher education bashing, with an embellished "experience"...... more quoting prov 4:18 out of context.. faithful and discreet slave definitions etc..... all the new "understandings" since 2012...... .
we are already in the great tribulation...?.
Did I just find out that the Earth is in an invisible tribulation?
How come Australia gets that news first?!?
i ran into an older sister who has always been very sweet.. it was a friendly chat...yet she pushed for a reason why my family have been missing from meetings for some time.
the question was deflected, until it just had to be said: "well, there have been some troubling and disturbing issues about the society especially the way things were handled during the royal commission, as well as many other issues".. she quickly cut in and said "but why would you want to know these things?
its best not to research and look at those sort of things - so we don't get upset!".
A very dear friend tries to guilt me into not sharing TTATT with them declaring that it brings them down, isn't encouraging and doesn't make them feel good.
Do they care about how the What Does The Bible Teach book make non-JWs feel? And if not, why not?
But everyone's supposed to make THEM feel good?
Ok
i believe it's taking place as i type this.
just curious if anyone knows what's it's about.
just want to prepare myself for it in case my father should bring it up.
The persecution by the ARC?
i have looked around and i don't see this covered, so i am starting a thread.. 1) the new "blood card" goes beyond being just a "blood card".. 2) a new edict concerning compliance.. pay attention to the changes.. first, the new card is termed "advance decision to refuse specified medical treatment".
the big change with the card itself is that it includes an 'override' of your "power of attorney".
this is huge.
The one document suggests you keep a copy of the form with your Will.
I can think of only one reason to do this... To inform your lawsuit seeking non JW relatives of your directive.
is it a fact that all kh construction earth wide has stopped?
I'm with Doc...
can we get a witness?
oh sorry, wrong denomination ....couldn't help myself
why are you guys so obsessed with organizations?
there has to be order in the world and organised people!

has he really won? Think of all of the lurkers who have just watched the immaturity of one of their own's behavior.
Personally, if he were one of mine, I'd be embarrassed
It's in their faces and now that's something THEY have to think about.
apparently it's true!!
omg!!.
i did not want to believe these news, i still feel it's a hoax, it can't be true!.
Well... I'm really curious as to the timeframe. If they are saying preach between 10 and say 7 and anything outside those boundaries is outside of the law, why is that so horrible? It's for their protection too!
In my borough we have a noise ordinance that mandates that lawn mowing only be done between 8 or 9 and sundown.
I'm not in Mexico but it doesn't seem so unreasonable to me.
apparently it's true!!
omg!!.
i did not want to believe these news, i still feel it's a hoax, it can't be true!.
OH! That was the translated version? I thought you gave a synopsis.
So no mention of what the hours would be then?
I got hit last weekend at 9:30 AM. Bathrobe stinky breath and all.
