Received my first letter since leaving

by Yesu Kristo Bwana Wangu in

today, i received a paper letter in my mail.

since i left at the second half of 2016, i never received something like this.

it is a one and a half page hand written letter that is written by an elder pioneer (i guess he needed some easy way to get his time in).. it is not written in english, so i will translate it:.

Yesu Kristo Bwana Wangu

And it could be a ploy to get a response and find out what problems you are dealing with that he can then dredge up more preacheries.....

I agree. What I don't understand is why it is a paper letter. He has my phone number, so he can send a text message without problem. Why do they do it like this, with those letters? So that they can spend more time for it relating to field service?

I think I will not respond to the letter since it can only lead to more preaching, like you say.

Scratchme1010,

Thanks for your comment.

The letter doesn't say anything about you, doesn't ask anything about you, and shows absolutely no interest in anything about you. Funny thing is that they think that they are being loving by doing that.

True! This was also exactly my reaction. Really strange.

Throw it away.

I think I will give it to my Theology professor. I am interested in knowing what a real Bible scholar thinks of something like this.

That affirmation of certainty is what makes many people stay, using this pipe dream to feel safe and secured. I hope you know better.

Indeed! I notice in the letter that solved is put between brackets. I forgot to add the brackets in the opening post in that sentence. It makes it even more strange.

I don't really know what to think about this letter. It is clearly not just a letter one writes to a friend for no specific reason. It clearly is preaching, with all those verses in it. A bit sad actually. I also found it weird that he ends with ''Your brother in the Truth.'' Does this mean my fade has been succesfull, since he still considers himself a brother of me? Which would actually be kinda weird, since I am still being shunned by most people. I don't really get it.

A strange letter in my opinion.

Edit:

Actually, having read it again, it literally does not even say one friendly thing.

It really reads like a warning.

This will definitely get me back into the fold LOL

''Hello [YKBW],

I am writing you this letter because you were drawn to Jehovah via the education you received through Christ. (John 6:44)

This is a unique relationship, that is of course constantly attacked by the Devil and his accomplices.

One of the weapons that he uses, is to let us and the world try to believe that we (underlined in letter) can solve all the problems in the world ourselves. Look around you. The problems of all the nations can all be traced back to the offer of the Devil in Eden ... ''you can do it yourself''...

Here you see the question of sovereignty that is going on. But no matter how hard people try, with their human wisdom this will never succeed. (1 Cor. 1:19 + the context)

Hence, it is Jehovah through Christ that teaches us how we can be happy. In letting us drawing closer to his Word and Spirit He also uses his channel to teach us according to his will.

Amos 3:7 says: For the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will not do a thing. Unless he has revealed his confidential matter to his servants the prophets.

This way of acting can be seen through all parts of the Bible. It was true for the Christian congregation of the past and also for the Christian congregation of today. (1 Cor. 2:10)

''For it is to us (underlined in the letter) God has revealed them through his spirit.''

This has nothing to do with ...''unreadable word''... or that Jehovah's organisation is operating without mistakes. Just as in the first century things are progressively being made clearer.

I am enclosing a Watchtower with this letter, where you can read two very nice articles that confirm what I mentioned above. (it's the Watchtower of April 3-30. The two articles he meant are ''Jehovah leads his people'' and ''Who is leading God's people today?'')

[YKBW], I hope that you take notice of this. All or personal problems will be solved, and if not, we can at least better deal with all things, if you do what is being said in Proverbs 3:5,6.

Your brother in the Truth.''

When You See a JW Do You Get Flustered?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i used to dread seeing a witness coming toward me.

now i am quite comfortable and hope that they may say something to me..... does your blood pressure rise when you see a jw coming toward you?

?.

Yesu Kristo Bwana Wangu

I still don't like it when i encounter them. They think that now you're out you're supposed to have problems or some other negative things that affect you, and thats not the case, but i dont like that they automatically think those things when they see me so i try to avoid them.

@Tom harley, who do you see as your mediator?

You Can Encourage An Inactive Christian!

this is part of the clam meeting this week.. how contradictory is it?.

first, they instruct people to avoid inactive ones and to shun them and to treat them the same as da'd or df'd ones, .

this is part of the CLAM meeting this week.

how contradictory is it?

first, they instruct people to avoid inactive ones and to shun them and to treat them the same as DA'd or DF'd ones,

and then this week they instruct to encourage them and to help them come back and try to associate with them...

appears to me, you can't have both?

what would be the intention of the GB behind these seeming contradicory messages?

What will you be doing on the evening of the 11th ?

by Phizzy in

mrs phizzy and myself will be eating out, sure in the knowledge we will not have jw's using the same restaurant.. i may have a cigar along with my brandy at the meal's end to celebrate my (our) freedom..

Yesu Kristo Bwana Wangu

In the past I have only visited the memorial three times, but tonight I will not go, despite having received a lot of calls and texts from certain people in the cong. I will probably just be reading a book instead of going.

Djeggnog, can you explain to me who is your mediator?

The Pagan Origins of the Memorial Observed by Jehovah’s Witnesses

by David_Jay in

“we don’t celebrate holidays because god doesn’t approve of any celebration that is rooted in pagan customs and manmade traditions.” (see here for a similar jw response.).

if you were once an ex-jw like me, you have probably said something like this out in field service to someone who asked the question: why don’t you people celebrate holidays?

as the witnesses' official website states in an faq about not celebrating easter:.

Yesu Kristo Bwana Wangu

Good to read from the Jewish perspective. David Jay, if I may ask, how could you ever have been trapped by the teachings of the JW's with your extensive knowledge about all doctrines and teachings of the Jews?
