  i'll start -.

  i have officially gotten 2 out so far, which is more than i ever got into it, with the exception of my son that i begged not to get baptized.

  he, however, is disfellowshipped now and wants nothing to do with the organization.

  Trying to Know God and/or Christ...

  by AGuest in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  solely by means of the pages of the bible... is like trying to know someone based on what's written about them in their high school year book.

  while what others write there may say a lot... oh so much is left out.

  best way to get to know that person?

  There are so many Gods, religions, books and different versions of bibles(and different texts) that I don't know what to believe in anymore than just the words of King Salomon, make the most of every day and enjoy life.

  Amen!!!

  Will there ever be another defection from the GB?

  by stuckinamovement in

  1. jw

  ray franz decided to leave bethel and the governing body because he could not continue to promote or support the lies and half truths that were being told.

  do you think that it is possible that one of the new boys might actually grow a pair of balls and stand up for what is true and reject what is false?.

  there are so many doctrines that time has annulled.

  Gayle, I don't know the answer to that, probably not. I agree, pretty amazing that they would come clean like that, and I believe they lost at least half their membership in doing so. Like I said it's been a while since I watched it.

  Thought stopper: "We are the only ones doing what Jesus did."

  by sabastious in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is one of the top thought stopping phrases here.. it invalidates any argument presented against the organization.

  it basically says this:.

  "it doesn't matter who did what in the org, it doesn't matter how bad things get, we are the only ones doing what jesus did, therefore all errors and corruption are disregarded as we await the end.".

  We just had someone come to our door the other day from a non-denominational church. Mormons are also known for preaching and I've had Southern Baptists come to my door before.

  Someone posted this before and I thought it was interesting. It's about an hour long. I watched it a while back and remember how interesting some of the similarities were to the WTS.

  Good luck...just read "Captives of a Concept" last night (downloaded it for $7). Very good read and lots of ammunition for when JW family confronts me, which will be coming soon. If you haven't read it yet, I highly suggest before you write your letter.

  I have not read everyone else's comments so if this was already stated, I apologize.

  In a nutshell, if they were not doing anything wrong by their relationship to the UN, then why did they QUICKLY disassociate themselves when the Guardian article came out? The bible says that the GUILTY run when no one pursues.

  Why not have a WT article explaining that it is okay to be an NGO instead of trying to cover it up?
