  by jonno12225 in

  so i have another visit from the elder this week.

  this time they want to speak with my wife, still a believer and myself.

  i think they want to know my position about my children attending the meetings and some other things.. while preparing myself for it i though of a challenge for the elders and my wife.

  Hi,

  like the others have said: Can the meeting - Do not go!

  Otherwise - they will get you on apostacy

  this will then lead to you being DF

  then your wife might leave you

  then you might not see any of your kids much anymore and your relationship with them will be damaged bec of the CULT

  PLLLEEEAAAAAASSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEE I beg you - Call them and cancel the meeting...just say we are fine at the moment Will call when we need your support. Thanks anyway...

  and then put extra effort into your relationship with your wife and family...

  keep us posted..

  all the best

  Planning exit, alternative venues to preach?

  by Goodstein in

  background:.

  i've come to the conclusion that many doctrines of the wts are unscriptural after many years of privately disagreeing with some of them but feeling that the society was "mostly right" and still being used by jehovah.

  this turning point has happened in the last year or so.

  Sometimes sorry isn't enough...

  by cedars in

  i thought you might like to see a rare example of the society saying the actual word "sorry" in the literature.. in 1992 someone wrote in to the awake!

  and their comment was published in the july 8th edition in the "from our readers" section, page 30.. their comment read as follows.... "your suggestion that sex education be considered a 'family secret' could accidentally result in great difficulty for some of your readers.

  social workers, teachers, nurses, and other professionals are now trained to watch for signs of child abuse.

  I guess Unky PunkofNice is right. The writers are child abusers.

  "Strong hope enables us to resist apostates and their gangrenous 'empty speeches.'"

  by cedars in

  those obviously aren't my words, they are from the latest study edition of the watchtower (april 15th, 2013) page 11.. .

  it's nice to know that, not only are we "mentally diseased" - we are also now "gangrenous.

  " since the society seems to enjoy using medical terms to insult us, are there any bets what the next published insult will be?

  with the 'end' failing to cum - time and time again,

  the only conclusion is that the WTBTS is IMPOTENT!

  hi guys,.

  i was just looking through www.reddit.com/r/exjw and there is a thread that was posted about four hours ago with the title "so our circuit overseer just got disfellowshipped" and there some basic details in their op.

  the location is given as central coast, australia, which is north of sydney.. there aren't many more details other than "it has sent shockwaves throguh the congregations" and a query on the protocol in situations like this.

  What if a Jehovah's Witness lives next door to an apostate? Is he/she told to hate him/her by direct order from the Watchtower

  by I_love_Jeff in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  surely there must be many jehovah's witnesses out there that live next door or near an "apostate"?????

  do they love them and follow the words of jesus christ or hate them as the watchtower suggests?

  how would a jehovah's witness respond to this?

  Well Im an apostate by the societies definition and by dictionary definition. However the society doesnt know im an apostate. They probably suspect. They have a hunch i associate with D'ed people. One being an apostate.

  directly across the road from me live a JW family. The wife tries to preach to me every so often. I refuse the rags though. I try to stay away from them because i dont want to end up in conversations about religion. But when we pass each other in the street we wave or smile across the road.

  But this is probably because I have not been formerly DF or DA
