  Bro. Geoff in September 2018 Broadcast vs Serena Williams

  by NeedToKnow in

  the september broadcast opens up with a story of 80 yr old brother geoff who gave up been in a band all them years ago.

  fast forward to 2018 and we have a world renown tennis player and jw as far as we’re told.. so where some are encouraged to leave the world and it’s futile pursuits of fame and fortune, others are not.

  or even punished for their behaviour on court or for been photographed with their country’s flag where others have been executed for refusing to salute flags.

  Doubter - I don't think you realise how dumb you come across in your posts, on this thread and other ones. You don't look at all the facts and you pick and choose which bits of information you want to believe or twist it to what you want.

  If you were a true jw you would not be on apostate (aka - people who know the truth about "the truth") websites.

  You're obviously having big doubts about the organisation yourself otherwise you wouldn't be here and you also wouldn't be clutching at straws to defend the watchtowers teachings/rules which are blatantly incorrect, which just makes your answers come across as dumb because they have no foundation. Most of us here will have done the same whilst we were still in, to some degree!

  Dealing with nightmares

  by Freedom rocks in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i had some terrible dark nightmares when i was studying which disappeared once i got baptised.

  i think it was psychological based on the fact i believed jehovah was protecting me after i was baptised.

  i had a nightmare tonight after just under a year of being out of the borg and woke up feeling a bit lost because in the past i'd have prayed and then gone back into a peaceful sleep but since i don't pray anymore i wasn't sure how to comfort myself to go back to sleep.

  Has anyone else experienced this and what did you do?

  Do KHs lock their doors when meeting starts now?

  by NikL in

  my still in wife informed me this morning that she must be on time to the meeting as they are locking the door when it starts now.. i said that's crazy.

  she said it's because of the times we are living in.. we live in a rural area and crime isn't terrible though it's worse than it used to be.. i told her if that's the way it is then why bother leaving the house at all?.

  she said they are just trying to be safe.. is this a thing now?

  If its to keep keep apostates out they can easily go in suits and pretend to be visiting from another hall. Ive never been in a hall yet that's locked its doors and I've been In about 20, although none of them in almost a year.

  she just happened to post on an apostafest thread on facebook for an event that i attended, saw that we lived in the same place, and i met her for the first time tonight.

  pretty cool.. she has a 14 year old boy that is super smart and very articulate.

  Ive got a copy of the custody booklet and also the elders handbook if anyone needs it you can pm me.

  Next year once I have a laptop I'm putting together something that can be used in court In child welfare hearings for in the UK. I'll happily send what i gather to anyone who needs it. At the moment I'm collecting information together for it so if anyone knows any watchtowers, awakes or other literature or even laws that i can use that can be used in cases of non jw parent vs. jw parent feel free to pm me. Thank you

  Hope the case works out well dubstepped and you get the chance to prove to the judge how damaging the religion is. I'm dealing first hand with the lies jdubs tell in court about their religion it's so frustrating.

  Printing off as much hard evidence of people's experiences and taking the societies own literature to use against them seems to be the only way to get the point across and that's only if the judge even let's you present your evidence, which mine hasn't so far and its really annoying.

  2018/19 new light

  by Ray Frankz in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hi guys, long time without paying a visit to this site.

  today i returned to check a 'gossip' that is running around in brazilian exjw forums.. they are stating that is almost certain they will make a big change in their doctrine maybe this year yet in the annual meeting.

  they say people in warwick were commenting on this.

  Pale emperor - they can combine 1914 with the 144000 teaching and say the new light is that women can't be of the anointed and that anointed men have to be undefiled by a woman so the quota has not been met which is why we're still living in the last days because most of the people who thought they were anointed were not male virgin's as revelation states, so they're no where near the last days.

  This gives them a few more years to scam people and because the rank and file have to be loyal even when from a human standpoint it doesn't make any sense, this new light will be accepted because the gb has said so.

  J.W.Sisters are not recognized as part of the 144000 Anointed class by the Governing Body of Jehovah`s Witnesses and never have been.

  by smiddy3 in

  2. beliefs

  rev.14: 1-6 describes the 144000 as males who do not defile themselves with women and are classed as virgins.?.

  how does the governing body of j.w.`s explain that a man having a sexual relationship with a woman defiles a man?.

  isn`t this or shouldn`t this be an affront to women who are jehovah`s witnesses ?

  Maybe that's why Armageddon has not come yet because they made a mistake in thinking women might be part of the 144000 so the quota hasn't been met yet by the number of anointed virgin men who aren't defiled by women. Maybe this will be new light soon😲

  IT'S ALL A LOAD OF ********!

  just curious if he's still lurking and making idle threats.

  you can't find all of us who are on jwtalk!

  hopefully what you've read on this site has made you start to think and see the truth about the organisation though that "it's not the truth!
