The Site is Going Down!!!

by BereanThinker7 in

so i'm sure many of us here have used the site https://ad1914.com/, apparently the domain had expired.

this site was instrumental to my waking up.

i have been able to use it to direct others to as well since it had a large collection of matters dealing with the validity of the "gentile times" claim.

Glad to see the site back up! Time to dig into some obscure research again lol!

It also had a lot of great first hand experiences.

I would hate to see it disappear. Anyone here no who runs it?

Anybody Here That Still Wouldn’t Take or Give Blood?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i would think that the first thing to go for ex jws is the blood ban.

.

would you take a transfusion or give blood now!.

BereanThinker7

I wouldn't have any problem with it, although I would prefer to go bloodless or store my own preferably if I could choose. However, for me, somewhat ironically, it was one of the last things to go when I woke up. I don't think it was something I was particularly interested in and once I really considered it, it was so obvious that its not wrong to use blood, it was embarrassing.

Speaking with Demons

by BereanThinker7 in

having learned more actual christian beliefs since awaking from the org, looking back we had such strange and unhealthy obsession with demons compared to any other denomination that i know of.

i recently remembered this article from when i was a kid.

Old Literature

by RolRod in

jw
friends

what did you do with your jw literature when you left?

kept it, sold it or dumped it?

BereanThinker7

I really wish people when are waking up would realize as more and more of the witness literature becomes online only the org will do their best to destroy their past.

Save what you have even if only to give away (or sell) to other activists. The physical copies of literature is evidence the org cannot change if you preserve it!!!

2 Watch Tower Magazines published at the same time

there were papers that used that title prior to the society.

but did you know that the advent christian church (to which russell affiliated with) published a journal called the watch tower?.

BereanThinker7

Yet More Apostate Damage Control

by neat blue dog in

unbelievable.

okay actually it's very believable.

check out the latest video on jwdotorg:.

This unfortunately will probably be a very effective attempt at using inoculation theory on the average witness. Now if they hear subjects related to those points they will immediately turn of thoughts processes of their own.
