  Possibly heard a Conscious Class public talk.

  by lostinnj83 in

  i can't be certain but i found yesterdays public talk to be interesting.

  it was on salvation.

  the speaker read many scriptures from the bible and didn't mention anything about the organization being necessary for salvation, just jehovah and jesus.. i actually walked out feeling like i had learned something.. perhaps, he wasn't of the conscious class but in the very least he gave a nice non brainwashed message.. does anyone else think they have heard a conscious class talk given from the platform?.

  The ten most embarrassing scriptures for Jehovah's Witnesses

  1. mark 7:15 "there is nothing from outside a man that passes into him that can defile him; but the things that issue forth out of a man are the things that defile a man.. so how can eating black pudding or having a blood transfusion be a sin?.

  2. roman 14:5 one [man] judges one day as above another; another [man] judges one day as others; let each one be convinced in his own mind.

  so how come they say birthdays and festivals are a sin?.

  well, i finally found him on facebook!.

  his name is tollie padgett.

  he was my congregation overseer (before the "elder" changeover) when i was in prison in seagoville in the late 60's.. i've been searching for him for years and years.

  I like Billy's suggestion, it can be read as a conversation starter by a thinking person, if he is still a thinking person!

  Wow HB, what an amazing story, wishing you and hubby all the best on your new life together. I've only left once and until I read your story would have said I don't understand why anyone would go back a second time. Everyone's different, I do feel sorry for anyone who thinks they need to go to a cult in order go fix their problems.

  it is midnight here in the north pacific.

  but for you in france and germany, it is 9 am.

  doesn't it feel great to do something else, anything else, then knock, knock, knocking on peoples doors?.

  What were your favorite assembly foods?

  so i'm young enough to not remember having hot prepared meals at assemblies, but heard all about it from my parents and the like.

  but what i do remember were all of the cold sandwiches and institutional snacks and soda.

  remember the food tickets we started to use?

  I'm turning myself in. Lurking elders, are you listening?

  by Eve Deceived in

  i think it's fitting for my very first post to be a thread on jw.net turning myself in to any lurking elders out there on a witch-hunt to cleanse the congregation so that god's choosen ones can "remain in god's love.

  " so i'm sorry to all you awesome, truthful apostates on this site, but this thread is really intended for any lurking nazis -- i mean, the taliban -- ugh, i mean elders of the world's most "loving" cult religion.. i am an apostate.

  here, i'll save you the trouble:.
