this is an absolute must see for any exjw.
so we'll done and absolutly halerious.
enjoy peeps.
Maybe its just me but I didn`t think it was hilarious at all ,not even that funny.
However it may have been a little enlightening as to how JW HQ deals with callers .
I will give that site another try just to see if they can do any better and I`ll let you know how it went.
I did listen to another one ,but ??? Maybe it has its place in waking people up but ,I don`t think so.
sunday, december 30. asa’s heart was complete with jehovah all his life.—1 ki.
15:14.. each of us can examine his heart to see if it is fully devoted to god.
ask yourself, ‘am i determined to please jehovah, to defend true worship, and to protect his people from any corrupting influence?’ for example, what if someone close to you has to be disfellowshipped?
Who cares what day it is ? The focus is on the text that ZNMD is quoting not the day .
Twisting the scriptures to re-inforce there agenda of complete control over their members to obey the GB
as all jw's and awakened ex-jw's know, the very existence of the religion is dependent on people's belief that the "holy trinity" of the wtbts, the ccojw, and the governing body (aka the organization) were personally selected by god/christ.. 1) mr. rutherford claimed that this divine choosing occurred circa 1919, and that all anointed members were personally chosen by god/christ to be the faithful slave.
2) in 2013 this long-held, "profound scriptural truth" was discarded by apostates in brooklyn (the present-day governing body) when they personally decided that only gb members were chosen by god/christ to be the faithful slave.
(wt july 2013, p.22, par.
Some interesting facts:
1. In 1919 the Jehovah`s Witness religion didn`t exist Russell and his peers were known as The International Bible Students Association, I.B.S.A. and not Jehovah`s Witnesses
2.If Jesus did in fact appoint THEM over all their belongings as the Faithful & Discreet Slave Class because of what they believed and taught back then in 1919.
3.J.F.Rutherford ,usurped the I.B.S.A. and morphed them into the religion of Jehovah`s Witnesses that he created.
4.Jesus today would reject and nullify their claim to be the F&D.S.C. simply because they no longer teach or believe anything today as to what they taught and believed back in 1919.
5.They can`t have it both ways either they were appointed as the F&D.S.C. in 1919 for what they taught and believed back then
or
Jesus no longer views them as the F&D.S.C. because they have turned their back on those teachings of 1919 and rejected them.
for all the newbies and lurkers who have been indoctrinated that jw`s are the only ones who know and use the name of jehovah/.
and i don`t know how to put it up here ,oh well i tried .
Thanks guys and gals ,for those links and info.
Their are also many ancient Churches around the world that have the name Jehovah inscribed in stone and some not so ancient.
One of which I have personally seen in fortitude Valley Qld.Aust.
One of the code names used by the Americans in the 2nd world war was "Jehovah
Dont worry zeb it was good to get both versions of the song.

a european jehovah's witness, who served in an important branch, has sent me the following rumor.. some serious sources are mentioned.
it clearly shake my perspective of what is going to happen in the coming months.. i'm totally shocked !.
the law firm managing all the interests of the wt has studied the problem in europe on data protection and actions on files and protocols of child abuse.
They prepared a draft for the Legal Department, to create specific instructions for European Union countries:
- eliminate records, files, data instructions at European level, branches and congregations
- local elders have to take the decision, according to their inner conscience, that any future case of sexual abuse is exclusively a matter for parents and judicial authorities.
Surely this would be against the law to comply with these instructions in most country`s and set yourself up for criminal prosecution if you obeyed these directions from the GB.?
so once pimo how do you deal with going to the meetings, ministry, social getotgethers, conventions assemblies?.
for one you know it is all off key,.
two your 2 hours or more so just wasted (not counting the time getting ready,travelling etc).
My heart and best wishes goes out to all of you PIMO and POMI for the sake of family extended and otherwise.
And anybody else caught in between if their is such a place .
if i was an author of a book i think i would be over the moon if i was guaranteed a sale of around 5 million or more books for my work.. the jehovah`s witnesses have over 8 million members plus relatives that are fringe dwellers who come to the memorial once a year ,.
so what a gold mine they have been sitting on as a publishing house .. why didn`t they keep publishing books for the faithful ,they could have even upped the price , and the faithful would have paid especially in prosperous country`s in the west.. they could have milked this venture for years to come as the faithful would have bought anything they would have published .. and their prophets (profits) would have soared ,literally and figuratively for many more years to come ..
Pete Zahut ,you may very well be onto something there ,and if they haven`t thought about it before they are certainly going to be thinking about it now
got a good joke or two?
why not share them.
here is a fun one.. retirement can be fun.
Me...I just read in the "Health & Well being " section of the newspaper that Russian scientists have discovered a cure for the STD of syphilis
You.. OH ?
Me.. Yes its called an atomic pill
You... Oh and what does it do ?
Me... It gives you a Nu-Clear weapon .
i am writing the post i have wanted to write for some time.
it's a heartfelt note to those still attending meetings, still caught between the lines of watchtower and the world.
those with kids or a spouse in the society..... despite being mentally out....those who have weighed up that there is too much to lose in leaving.
I believe snare&racket `s OP and I believe in overlapping both make interesting valid points for seeing both sides of the issue .
Its an excellent post "snare" and an equally excellent response "I believe".
Any lurkers on here would do well to read this post and weigh the pros and cons on what decision they decide .
