i’m fairly new so i don’t know everyone’s backstory.
how did you realize the organization was false?.
My alarm clock!
Sorry HBF, welcome.
The scales fell off my eyes thanks to "two witnesses" -
The cult's anti-scriptural perversions that -
a) Romans 6:7 is literal and that a person's own death wipes out their sins.
b) Rev. 20:12 says new scrolls will be opened during the millennium and will contain new teachings. (3 lies attributed to one verse!)
From that point on, I researched everything the org ever told me was "truth."
well that was no fun at all, just got a visit to invite me to the last supper memorial.
haven't had a call for a long long time.
i tried to engage them about following bible not watchtower, they just kept changing the subject as they have always done but this time every challenge was met with "we are not perfect,the slave is not perfect" and "we don't want to have a debate".
I would have replied, "The Pope is not perfect, and the Catholic priesthood is not perfect." Regardless of their parroted answers, (and we all did it!) JW's nowadays are genuinely living in fear of -
a) the revelatory media information about their cult & its leadership's "direction & practices"
b) never living to see the promised (by the cult!) and well-overdue Armageddon in their own lifetime.
Bottom line - many JW's faith in the org is probably at an all-time low.
it was for all of the governing body members - because they now know they won't be getting any wings from heaven.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqjwkiwids0.
make the call tony - resign!.

w74 10/1 p. 607 questions from readers - “ death, [a person's own death] is the full payment for sin.”.
or are these scriptures wrong?.
(matthew 26:28) “...this means my ‘blood of the covenant,’ which is to be poured out in behalf of many for forgiveness of sins.”.

(Matthew 26:28) “...this means my ‘blood of the covenant,’ which is to be poured out in behalf of many for forgiveness of sins.”
(Ephesians 1:7) By means of him we have...the forgiveness of our trespasses...”
(Acts 2:38) “...be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for forgiveness of your sins...”
(Acts 13:38) “Let it therefore be known to you, brothers, that through this one a forgiveness of sins is being proclaimed to you,
(Colossians 1:14) by means of whom we have...the forgiveness of our sins.
The org's dogma repudiates these Biblical statements about the ransom sacrifice. Hmmm. I need a drink.
i never post on here.
i am sanchy's wife.
i posted my coming out story about 3 yrs ago.
Don't sugar-coat it Corruptgirl. Very good discussion of TM's "not practising what he preaches."
Based on logical reasoning of the evidence in front of us and our JW insights, I have reached the following conclusions:
1) Tony Morris was buying for his own use. If it had been for other people's benefit, a trusted Bethelite "helper" would have been sent on a different day to a store much closer to make the purchase.
2) Tony Morris clearly has a very unhealthy reliance/addiction to strong liquor.
3) Tony Morris and his ilk are parasites - unlike the apostle Paul etc. who worked to provide for themselves. They are living off the "body" of the congregation, as do all of the Worldwide Order of Special Full-Time Servants of Jehovah’s Witnesses who gladly opt out of the scriptural commands to provide for themselves!
Rubbing salt into donors' wounds, he squanders their hard-earned cash on his addiction.
4) Tony Morris is now a liability and embarrassment to his fellow G.B. parasites. Time to "retire."
A.A. won't judge you if you call.
for the life of me i can not come to terms with old timers in the "truth" who could swallow this interpretation of scripture about an overlapping generation .. when jesus spoke about "this generation" .
are their any real bible students among younger ones any more ?.
here are 3 bible scriptures that confirm a generation is approximately 40- 50 years long give or take a few years .. 1. matt:1 :17 abraham born 2016-18 bc jesus born 2 bc approx.
My favourite: (Job 42:16) “After this Job lived for 140 years, and he saw his children and his grandchildren - four generations.” 140 divided by 4 = 35.
Two days after the announcement of the "overlapping generation," I was out on field service with an elderly Elder. I asked him, "Brother, do you understand how the overlapping generation works?" He simply said "No."
Nothing more was said.
if the "slave" said it, it must be true!.

5 - the long waiting in hope soon to end: .
If the "slave" said it, it must be true!
w72 10/15 p. 629 par. 5 - The Long Waiting in Hope Soon to End:
“Just as surely as the foretold globe-encircling flood came in the days of the righteous preacher Noah, just as surely as the foretold destructions of ancient Jerusalem came in the days of Jehovah’s prophets and of the apostles of Jesus Christ, just so surely this foretold world-wrecking tribulation will come - in our own generation.”
(Would that be an overlapping generation or just a normal everyday one?)
(Deuteronomy 18:21, 22) “How will we know that Jehovah has not spoken the word?” When the prophet speaks in the name of Jehovah and the word is not fulfilled or does not come true, then Jehovah did not speak that word. The prophet spoke it presumptuously. You should not fear him.’
J.W.'s, did you notice = NOT x 5
i have done bible study for about four months now.

Hi B.S. Welcome.
As a JW B.S., expect to be fed B.S.
You are very fortunate to have come here and met others who've been through the JW minefield.
Regain control of your life very quickly.
web site, it says this: on the night before he died, jesus told his followers to commemorate his death.
he said: “keep doing this in remembrance of me.” - luke 22:19. according to the wtbts/jw's, jesus had two distinct groups of followers with entirely different "hopes" – the “little flock” and the “other sheep.” .
exactly which group was instructed to commemorate his death by re-enacting the eating & drinking of the bread and wine - and to “keep doing it?” .

Can you provide any scriptural justification for yourself and millions of others to attend this ritual as "spectators"?
