  Crisis of Conscience republished and on Kindle

  by losthobbit in

  hi guys.

  sorry if this has been mentioned before... i haven't visited this forum in a while.. i've noticed that crisis of conscience is no longer ridiculously expensive on amazon.co.uk (now 9.38), and they have a kindle version which is even cheaper (6.84 - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/b00bqou5rc).

  unfortunately the publisher did an absolutely useless job of formatting the kindle version.

  I was a Jehovah's Witness in a different religion

  by free2beme in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i recently had a very long conversation with my mother, about what jehovah's witnesses teach and believe now.

  while i could gleam ideas and thoughts, that kind of worked with the religion i once called home.

  more often then not, i had to come to a extreme conclusion.

  That is what I was thinking I saw more love and kindness in the religion before 1980's. Not as restictive as it has become now. I was just mentioning to my husband a talk or WT study in the 80's about the diferrence of' laws, rules, regulations and suggestions. It ended by saying we had to follow even suggestions because they were for our own good and plus we were responsible for hurting others around us consciences. I decided then if I had to be responsible for my brothers and sisters consciiences I was done with this nonsence.

  Free2beme this JW religion is nothing like the JWs my husband and I grew up with in the 50's and 60's. I hardly recoqnize it as the same at all. I see a group of repressed hardnosed members compared to any loving members. Of course I remember many being hardcore in the 50 and 60's but remember having some fun times in between, we had cong. picnics, parties with dancing, skating parties even hayrides and you didnt have to be in good standing we believed in encouraging those who were weak "IN the Truth"

His response they now changing things tryiing to make things fit their new lites. He is so done with this relgions hipocracy. He doesnt understand how active JWs cant see thru these new teachings, but knows they just close their eyes. My sister asked how I got a copy of this WT, duh I went to JW.org.

  2. beliefs

  once we found out we were all witnesses, we all hugged.

  now we just had to see if our kingdom hall was still standing.

  when we came to the hall we had such a huge shock.. there were so many people there.

  As I read I felt a overwheming sadness. Gunshots? I thought Jehovah was going to use the natural elements, earthquakes, bad storms etc. Looting? I would think this would be the last thing on people minds, as I would have thought Jah would have let them know it was Jahs War. The 65 year old brother being reunited with his wife and having a child together, not what I was taught. Oh well they all have their fantasies.

  Lot's of talk on the July Watchtower?

  by noonehome in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i've heard lots of talk from within about the 'new light' in this watchtower...i'm yet to look at it in any detail.

  i'm kind of surprised actually...i first heard about it here before it was even available but close to the time it did come out people started bringing it up - even our co.. some say things like "have you heard about this?

  " or "big changes," or "allot of things they said we believed, i didn't realize,"(lots of that) or "brain-overload" or " too much information, but i've never felt more pumped up" or "it's soo exciting to see jehovah's spirit lead his organization..." or "it requires time to sink in, but it's a good feeling!

  Apostacitis

  by Rufus T. Firefly in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  apostacitis is a term denoting a condition with which the watchtower society has become thoroughly infected, particularly since the year 1981 when sincere christians who merely resigned from the organization over principled differences in belief became viewed the same as unrepentant wrongdoers (1 cor.

  5:11) and as those rejecting the good news about the christ (2 john 9-11).

  there was a time when news of one becoming an apostate was so rare among witnesses that it sent shockwaves throughout the organization.

  Apostacitis and shun gun go hand in hand. These two topics are right in line with what I told my husband today. If JWs werent so fast to df and shun that wouldnt have so many apostates to worry about.
