How do the anointed know they are?

by jayhawk1 in

friends

i have a question that no elder has given me a good explanation on.

how do the anointed jehovah's witnesses become that way.

i heard that somehow their spirit is born along with the holy spirit.

and while we're on the subject of CRACKPOTS and their bad brain chemicals: LARSGUY IS GARY THE BIBLEMAN FROM H2O. HE THINKS HE IS THE BLACK HOMOSEXUAL TRANSVESTITE MESSIAH, RETURNED TO SAVE US ALL. Please don't encourage either of these sick individuals to post their longwinded insane rants. It feeds their illness.

lets see...

I wonder... are there ANY bases you didn't cover?

I recall the first time you ever addressed me, dark mommie. On the "The Asshole wars" thread it was. The first time we ever exchanged words, you said something to me like: "Here's teejay showing how controlling he likes to be"

and

"So she has no say in what direction she takes? Sounds like she has a control freak for a father... And will he disfellowhip and shun her if she decides to think for herself?"

You talked ignorantly, like nobody's asshole, about two things that fall very close to my heart: my daughter and disfellowshipping.

It made me look at you with a very curious look... how someone could pass such a judgment about a total stranger... made me question everything I've read from your mind since then.

Makes me wonder what's good about Larsguy. Got to be something good if someone as ignorant as you could be so negative...

When did y'all find all this stuff out?

was it before you left or after you left and what promtped your investigation?.

for me it happened a few days before christmas of last yr. it was right after my roommate purchased his computer.

i looked up jehovah on ms encarta, clicked on a link and as they say the rest is history.. i had just lost my job so i was able to spend a lot of time researching and looking into all kinds of shit.

Btw, [b]Jayhawk,

Winning that "beard/no beard" argument is easy, as you know. If someone is one-half of a bible student they will readily acknowledge that facial hair is no indicator of godliness ("spiritual maturity"... whatever...), especially in view of the fact that it can be proven scripturally (and even from the pages of the wt) that The Man Himself had one. Duh.

So, I've proudly sported a goatee ever since coming to a knowledge of the truth about "the truth." Hey, I'd rather have a clean face, truth be told, but to give onlookers an outward sign I'm doing the "brother" thang and that their little mind games don't play over here....

Since then, only one person (not a single elder or "man" with any authority), a sister who views herself as my big sister (even tho she's younger than I am), has challenged me about it. She meant well and we're still friends, so much a friend that I ALMOST accompanied my wife to see her this past weekend. She's good people.

peace,

SAW A PEDOPHILE TODAY

by TR in

jw
friends

today, while in a hardware store, i saw a guy that i know was a pedophile when i was a kid.

he was in a check out stand next to mine when i saw him.

i recognized him immediately, even after 30 years.

teejay

Hot damn, Danny!

When I believed it, I was 100 percent, when I no longer believe its 100 percent. I have no idea what you stand for. Most of what I can see from your tart and disrespectful comments, is a narrow minded, shriveled up little postman, who has a certificate on his wall. Were you ever appointed an elder, where you ever given speaking assignments on Circuit Assemblies, or offered prayer at DC's? I have, I was there all the way...

I never knew! I never knew I was runnin' with the big dogs!!?

Hot damn...

I'm serious... this made my day.

holla.

INSTINCT

by silentlambs in

jw
friends

i recently watched a movie called instinct.

it starred anthony hopkins and told the story about a man who went to the wild to live with the gorillas.

while the premise may have seemed farfetched, the movie offered an insight i had not thought of till i saw how the story was told.

teejay

I saw it at the theater, the three days (<g>) it was here. The movie was savaged by critics and the viewing public, but it was/is a favorite of mine. Ethan Powell's (Hopkins) actions on behalf of dumb animals struck a chord with me.

I recommended the movie to several others but none took me up on it. It's a good movie, with a good message. It doesn't surprise me that you would relate to it, Bill. It's your (and my) kind of movie. I teared up more than once.

peace,

Bigboi,

Was it before you left or after you left and what promtped your investigation?

It's a long story, but I began to investigate after I was wrongly (imo and based on the words of one of the JC elders) disfellowshipped. In the past, others have commented that it takes a tragic event in the lives of most people to to shake us from our lethargy relative to the WTS. They're prolly right.

For me, I had the advantage of Randy's website as well as several others, including Kent's, but the most important source of all, though, was probably Ray's books. His insider info and his total absence of malice toward the Society were important in my believing the truth of what he said.

A funny thing, though, that I'll never forget:

After reading it and having it hit me to the core, I thought of a couple of people who I thought would benefit almost as much as me, if not more. One of these was a friend who had not been to a meeting in six years. Even so, after I gave it to him he read it alright, but not with the paper jacket on it. So profound was the Society's hold on him that he didn't want anyone to know what he was reading. And this, considering that virtually everyone he hung out with either was never a JW or were exes like him who hated it as much as he did.

Mind you, in corporate America he is an unqualified success... is CEO and Prez of a business he started from scratch... earns in the top 5% tax bracket... lives in a six or seven hundred thousand dollar house in an exclusive addition...

But with all that, he was still afraid to let others know that he was reading Ray's book. The hold the org. has on people is real, and observing him close up is one example.

At the time that I invited you into my personal web site, and to view the picture of me with my two boys, I had no idea of the RAT that you would shortly prove to be. You have betrayed the trust which I had in you at the time we spoke earlier.

Hate to burst your bubble, oh falsehood teller my boy, but as can be seen from http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?id=8419&page=2&site=3)

This is the URL to my personal site (that won't be there much longer).
http://4heavens.homestead.com/4Heavens.html
If you click on "Astronomy" over in the right column of topics you will be able to see the sort of telescope that I own. As you will notice, I never got as far as I initially intended with the site. There are however a few tabs that you can click on if you are that curious.
The picture of me with my two boys (under "Photographs") is almost ancient ... they are 36 and 37 years of age now. You can well imagine how much I've changed as compared to that picture.
You are invited to sign my guest book.

Did you invite "teejay"? I'm not the JW apologist you are, so forgive me if I'm wrong, but as far as I can tell, it wasn't me you "invited", fella.

Maybe you could run over there and do a little editing? <g> you're good at that. (see Friday's posts above, nearly all "edited" after initial postings)

You are every bit the RAT that now claim that you are, and that your friend Farkel is.

Whatever.

Just remember that when you invite the world to your website, even rats like me might come in and call you as you are. Sorry. It's a heavy burden, living under the weight of one's own words and actions, eh? I feel sorry for ya, I really do. Thankfully, i'm nothing like you.

A Couple 'Brief' Questions & 'Brief' Answers

by AGuest in

jw
friends

may you all have peace!.

i was asked the following, and by the spirit of my father that is in me by means of my lord, the following answers were provided:.

what does he think about what's going on now... what is it that god expects ppl to progress to exactly... why does he .

teejay

Shelby,

Since you were wanting brief questions, I must ask:

When you greet us you say, "may you have peace." What do you mean by that?

At the end you say that you're our "slave." What do you mean by that?

peace,

Dedication AND Baptism?

by SixofNine in

jw
friends

i posted this here a long time ago .

didn't get much reply, but then again, there weren't many of us posting at the time.. dedication and baptism.

in the org., the two are inextricably linked.

teejay

Yo, Six,

I know that growing up a dub has 'shaped' your thinking in unique ways, as it has mine. Here's my take on this...

"Dedication" is (or, rather, "should be") personal in the extreme. In real terms, if it is to be believed, dedication is THE most personal experience a human being will (or can) ever have... a communion with our Maker, our true Origin or Parent.

The WTS has never been interested in true spirituality. They are mainly interested in appearance:

Did you get baptized?

When did you get baptized?

Is your father an elder?

Does your mother pioneer?

Who studied with you?

How many hours did you turn in last month?

How about the six months previous to that?

When you gave your last talk, did your jacket and pants match?

Did you slip the CO a C-note when he came around the last time?

Their concerns are irrelevant. They are pointless to the far end of the spectrum. "Dedication" and "dedicationandbaptism" are two totally different concepts.

holla,
todd
