  I felt as though he was sincere, and truly heartbroken about what he was apart of. He came across as very humble and honest. I was left feeling sorry for him, and for myself and my family.

  i was baptized 30 years ago and have been in the faith for over 35 years.. our organization isn't perfect.

  but i'm sick to death of seeing stereotypes about us.

  we are not mindless automatons.

  How many anointed have come and gone; how many remain?

  by Moster in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just wondering if there is any data about how many anointed there were in say 1914, and considering most would have passed 'beyond the veil' already, are the jw's numbers adding up?

  we know there are more in 2017 then there were in 2016, but just where are we in the grand total column?.

  Simon - Using internet Explorer 11, only allows us 1 click either Like or Dislike. No change is possible afterward a selection has been made. I get the circle with a red line through it if I try to click anything after.

  Inside Story Logo

  by MrHappy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this may have been covered before but have you noticed the logo design of the "inside story" on this months video the 143rd gilead graduation.

  it appears as a pyramid containing the masonic symbol of the compass and square, with this reflected below the text.

  the art pieces on the shelf are also interesting and maybe someone has some thoughts on these.

  by Still Totally ADD in

  2. child-abuse

  here i am 63 years old, out of the cult going on 8 years, went through a year of therapy back in 2007, been working very hard to become the person i have always wanted to be.

  but what happen to me a few days ago just blew me out of the water for the past two days.

  i am now finally coming to grips with my emotions and understanding what caused me such distress.. here's what happen.

  " Also she told my friend that my past Abuse's as a child I most likely made it worse than it was and my case was likely a very isolated case and not that bad. She felt I have been overstating the abuse that is taking place in the Wt. and there are probably no abuse taking place at all. "

  This statement is the red flag.

  You are dealing with an unstable person. Don't discuss, talk or apologize to her anymore. Just concern yourself with your health and your healing. She is not remotely concerned for you, or quite frankly other victims of abuse.

  Peace and Love.

  Is the name Jehovah`s Witnesses a misnomer ?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i ask this because from what i read on this board lately is that they jw`s seem to be very reluctant to engage in conversation with anybody nowadays and are only interested in placing literature at carts.. and if anyone brings up questions in their d2d work that challenge them ( like the arc ) they will promptly excuse themselves and move on.

  also didn`t jesus say "this good news of the kingdom would be preached in all the inhabited earth " for a witness ?.

  when was the last time you heard a jw speak about "the good news of the kingdom" ?

  I seem to recall the name coming from Russel's view of the Pyramid of Giza as "God's Stone Witness".

  Was this not the actual origin of the name? So whether or not they actually 'witness' is yes a misnomer, IMHO.

  perhaps they are less picky these days? Don't mean to disparage this fellow but... this is Mickey Garcia. DJ, music producer. He tweeted yesterday how proud he was to be a baptized JW as of 171202. Same picture on his twitter profile.
