Faith to Faithless XJW event London, UK

by Fe2O3Girl in

description.

we often come across jehovah's witnesses near station entrances and at our front doors, but we never hear about what happens when they leave.

if you're near london, uk, faith to faithless are doing their first ever event at kings college london, and their first ex jw panel!.

... Marc and Cora were disfellowshipped for three years because they were not "free to marry"... Slimboyfat

I watched Marc and Cora's Youtube video where they discussed their disfellowshipping. They were disfellowshipped for not being 'scriptually free' to marry, albeit both were legally divorced. The JC members viewed their marriage as being 'adulterous' and they were made to wait three years before reinstatement.

The point they raised in their video is; at what point does their marriage stop being 'adulterous'? If their marriage was deemed to be 'adulterous,' then surely for as long as they are married it will always be 'adulterous'. So when does it end?

My guess is that the JC members were being vindictive and this was their golden opportunity to exercise their so called 'authority and power,' and to make 'an example' of them.

Pathetic really!

Has your name or reputation been maligned by the Witness gossip-mill?

by stuckinarut2 in

as we all know, witnesses routinely share in gossiping, slandering or maligning the name and reputation of those who are "spiritually weak" or ones who "fade" or "stop associating".. they feel it is ok to speak badly of such ones who "have left jehovah's organization".. of course, some of the worst perpetrators of this are elders and their wives, who insidiously plant negative stories in the minds of all they interact with in the congregation.

they may never have actual facts, but since when do facts matter to witnesses?

however through such conduct they manage to separate people from one another, or cause rifts amongst former friends.. this sort of conduct is plainly inappropriate.. but what scriptures could be used if the opportunity arose to confront such ones about the way they have behaved?.

I've been inactive and haven't been to meetings for going on 3 years. Has my name / reputation been maligned?

I don't know; and to be honest, I couldn't care.

How Many? - (Marc and Cora Latham)

by Tallon in

i came across this very informative and thought provoking video.

it was produced by marc and cora latham, who are quite well known among british activists.. if you have 15 minutes to spare, i encourage you to watch it.

it certainly gave me pause for thought!.

In praise of Randall Watters

exjw's of a certain age will remember randy's site well.

freeminds was instrumental in waking me up along with ray franz's books.

if net soup and armageddon okies mean nothing to you you're probably under 30.. whatever caused randy to post what he did recently is something i can only guess at but it won't be what i remember him for.. randy, i wish you well and thank you for all you've done over the years .

Tallon

... I mean, I LOL'd when I saw one poster on here claim that they had never heard of Randy Walters. Man, that is WEAK by Apostate standards! ... WingCommander

Sorry WingCommander, but I too had not heard of Randall Watters until just recently. How could I? It's only these past two years that I have been inactive and only the past 5 months that I have been looking at / participating on so called 'apostate websites'.

Having said the above, I am now beginning to understand and realise that Randall Watters is one of the original 'trail blazers' exposing a number of their erroneous teachings.

I certainly admire his work!

Personally I'm into rock music. The passing of Rick Parfitt, rhythm guitarist with Status Quo, is a blow to the world of music as well.

Read the news last night and learnt that another musician passed away - Peter Sarstedt. One of his major hit songs was; Where Do You Go To (My Lovely).
