Lengthy letter re: End Time Events / read ONLY if you still believe in God.

by mother Teresa in

shalom,.

my mom's family is mostly jws.

during her second marriage, i attended the weekly meeting and sunday meetings (by my own choice) with a family in the very small town we lived, since my mom didn’t attend.

A very lengthy post which appears to indicate you feel "connected" with JW's on different levels.

As a POMO formerly zealous JW, I can now state with 100% certainty that the WTBTS is anything but the "true religion." It is a truly disgusting business corporation masquerading as "God's faithful slave."

If you require Biblical evidence (as opposed to literature proofs) which I believe show how lying & deceitful many of their teachings are, just PM me and I'll provide you with 14 Bible v literature statements for you to critically analyse.

If your faith is truly in the scriptures, then you'll avoid JW's like the plague.

2018 convention

by Akid48 in

sorry i forgot to update when i was there.. the only things i want to talk about is how they would tell young ones to tell every body in school that their a jw.i hate when this happens this will not go well for all.they had one random video about some kid,the kid said the teacher would make fun of him,but one day the teacher let him talk about being a jw (this parts bs)then some random teachers and the principal walked in for no reason,and he got to talk about to most of the school wtf.. i hate the fact they tell kids to tell every body their a jw once again this will not go well for all..

As a school kid I was victimised and beaten by ridiculing students because I was taken out of Religious Education classes - as directed by the cult at that time.

Imagine my dismay when I heard many years later that JW kids were now allowed to participate in Religious Studies.

Clearly, the teachings I received couldn't counter all the "false" teachings of that time.

Refusing to become an elder

by ragingmad in

i know someone who's family is very spiritual and says that her brother only pioneers and does not want to become an elder for various reasons, probably not wanting to deal with people's problems, and also the tremendous workload they put on them.

is this considered refusing advancement by god, or just choosing your own way?

he has not been "tapped" to become one, but he merely hasn't strived to become one..

The Fall Guy

Good for your friend!

Any male JW who doesn't strive to "reach out," or refuses to accept any assignment offered to them - especially to become "part of the team" - will be classed as persona non grata by the appointed men and their families/friends.

Are you Enjoying the World Cup?

by snugglebunny in

great to see such an eager young team.

harry kane is incredible.

oops..you'll have to click on the play on youtube link below.

Some very good games so far. Also, because the VAR technology is in its infancy in soccer, it's not only highlighting nasty practices by players, but also very poor refereeing decisions. Thankfully, the Egyptian referee in England's game had the courage to clamp down on the assaults within the penalty area.

Soccer's VAR will eventually have to reach the same high standards which rugby has achieved.

traditional English words and phrases.

by stan livedeath in

jw
friends

something i found on facebook..... a bit of interesting history reading .... enjoy ...they used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot & then once a day it was taken & sold to the tannery.......if you had to do this to survive you were "piss poor".

but worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn't even afford to buy a pot......they "didn't have a pot to piss in" & were the lowest of the low.

the next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be.

Really enjoyed this post. Too late to get ready for the Kingdumb Hell now! :)

"This Good news Of The Kingdom Will Be Preached In All The Inhabited Earth" ........

by smiddy3 in

..".for a witness to all the nations and then the end will come" .matt.24:14.. the religion of jehovah`s witnesses kid themselves into thinking they are filling or have fulfilled this prophecy/scripture .. given that you take the jehovah`s witnesses and the international bible students association as one and the same religion , then they have been preaching their message primarily within lands that are predominantly christian based.....and certainly do not cover "all the inhabited earth " as their are many populous non christian nations nations that do not allow, even forbid any proselytizing in their lands.

i would estimate about one third of the current world population.. but that is not all .. given that you take the jehovah`s witnesses and the international bible students association as one and the same religion ,then they have about 140 years of preaching their beliefs to the public specifically to preach "this good news of the kingdom " as they claim to do in obedience to j.c.commands at matt.24:14.. take a survey no matter where you live on this planet earth of the people in your locality and if you asked them "what was the message jehovah`s witnesses left you and no one would be able to say "they told me about and explained to me the good news of the kingdom" and what it would mean to me.. no one would be able to say that .after 140 years of preaching and witnessing by what is now 8 million plus jehovah`s witnesses .. what a waste of time and energy and lives .. after 140 years of preaching what do the public know about jehovah`s witnesses ?.

they don`t take blood transfusions .

Colossians 1:23 - "The Good News has been preached all over the world, and I, Paul, have been appointed as God’s servant to proclaim it." (New Living Translation)

And shortly after Paul wrote this, the end which Jesus spoke about took place - in 70 C.E.

Even the org agrees that it had already been preached "worldwide":

w74 1/15 p. 61 - What did the apostle Paul mean when he indicated that the ‘good news was being preached in all creation under heaven’? - Col. 1:23. "...that the preaching was being pushed to all parts of the earth under heaven."

2 Tim 3:5

by Lost in the fog in

the organisation is very quick to point the finger at churches but gets aggressive if you point out that it equally applies to them.. here's an example : “having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power.”—2 timothy 3:5.. quote : bible truth has the power to change lives.

(ephesians 4:22-24) but some of the most ungodly acts take place under the veil of religion.

a tragic example is the sexual abuse of children by the clergy.

The Fall Guy

it-2 p. 206 Last Days - "The words “last days” or comparable expressions are sometimes used in connection with the apostasy that was to be experienced within the Christian congregation."

In other words, everything Paul wrote at 2 Timothy 3:1-5 was describing the situation of Christians.

Help: Anyone identify Gary Breaux's ring?

by Fay Dehr in

.

can anyone identify this ring?

(ideally, a link to a page on the internet with photo and description).

The Fall Guy

What's with the sudden craze for bright hankies in the top pocket? I can remember hearing that such a thing (as well as pens) detracted from what the speaker was saying.

Since all the gibbering body do it, the lemmings are following the fad.

LEAK: 3000 buildings to liquidate. How to choose? (Watchtower propaganda video)

by Fay Dehr in

https://youtu.be/pzdxen9rvw0.

as the leaked financial meetings show, watchtower (by it's own admission) has to liquidate 3000+ properties quickly.

how do they choose?

The Fall Guy

Thanks Fay Dehr.

If a woman in a war zone is attractive/beautiful in appearance, then she is in serious trouble when "needy" combatants take notice of her.

Warning to JW's: Your KH's are now in a financial war zone.

If the KH where you worship is far more desirable (in $ value) than the other KH's in your area, bet on it that your KH is the one which will be sold off - soooooooooooooooon! (TM)

Helping my husband wake up, need advice.

by Whynot in

my husband is dfed but he is a prime example of someone who was a puppet for the watchtower.

i was able to wake him a little with the sex abuse scandal.

he was an elder and is very familiar with those rules.

The Fall Guy

Carefully select one of these 14 questions and ask him how he would answer - using his Bible, not the literature.
