gen 6:
and there were giants in those days and also after that
i stumbled across a scripture today.
it's numbers 13:33 "and there we saw the nephilim, the sons of anak, who are from the nephilim, and in comparison we seemed like grasshoppers, both to us and to them.. now if they honestly believed that they saw the nephilim, it would mean that some nephilim would have had to survive the flood or that the hijinks of the fallen angels before the flood, happened again shortly thereafter.
the only other thing i can come up with is that nephilim was some kind of generic word that implied giant proportions, but not necessarily the nephilim.. comments from the more educated appreciated.. silent.

ok, so the time has finally come to register an account on this site.
not that i think i have much to contribute to the discussions here, but more out of a desire to show that yet another person has learned ttatt.
i am a fader, not discussing ttatt with anyone as i know the inevitable outcome it would have.
Welcome!! Your going to be Ok.
I just sent my last letter out to my older brother of my defection. We are 3rd gen. He is still an active elder as well as another brother. I'll miss them,.... I only saw them once every few years so it's not going to be as hard as I've read with some.
I'm coming up to 60 years and I'd like my remaining years to be truly free.
I hope we read from you more of your story soon

having the mindset of "alice in wonderland" & the elders are "just like a pack of cards".
pretty good idea, to "let the people know"... i like the fact that she gave them sealed envelopes... .
great illistrations period. and kudo's to katey
i can't discuss my family history here in detail while i'm still fading, but suffice to say that i'm a third-generation witness.
my grandparents' generation of witnesses expected the end to come in the middle of the 20th century.
they led spartan lives and largely went without having kids, as they awaited the imminent new system.
i'm watching my fourth gen. unbabtized daughter still seeking bible studies. omg! I keep showing her stuff but it's not working. Ugh....
as we all know, the internet is a real game-changer in allowing us to know the truth about the watch tower and its history.
i always had doubts and it was the internet that presented me with the ever-growing number of individuals who were going through a similar struggle.. i give the internet a 9 in my awakening.
what about you?.

a jw who was hired to be a caregiver for my grandfather in the early stages of dementia went and married him over the objection of family, the gal and the va social worker.

start documenting everything. . Call agencies for elder abuse since this happens, so he can at leaste have an advocate that might possibly have links for a lawsuit against the agency that sent her. Press charges to get things rolling, NOW!!!!. Social services will have to step in and make an investagation and in the mean time you might be able to freeze his assets.
with all the terrible things happening on this earth, i bet most witnesses feel that jehovah god has to step in..
most Christians believe it is the time of the end. you don't have to be a jdub
