  for years, i was told this..... " anyone who leaves the org is bitter, sad, and worse off, why do you think they come back???

  guess what guys i am the opposite, now i quit cold-turkey (looking back, i should have faded correctly) i am planning on going to the memorial this month just to hear all "the friends" tell me how much they missed me.

  since i have left the meetings, (jan. was my last meeting, i think).

  Anyone noticed a curiosity on the Memorial Invitation for 2013 ?

  by EdenOne in

  i can't scan the memorial invitation for 2013, but i was looking at it today and noticed something curious on the front drawing.. we have jesus as the central figure of the composition.

  to his right and bottom, a large crown, in colour, of shiny happy people of diverse origins.. separated from this by the figure of jesus, is another group, a much smaller one, on the left and as if ascending to the top, and grayed.. clearly portrayed in this group is the face of ct russell and apparently william tyndale.

  but then, also sarah and abraham and other personalities of the ot seem to be represented there.

  I'm turning myself in. Lurking elders, are you listening?

  by Eve Deceived in

  i think it's fitting for my very first post to be a thread on jw.net turning myself in to any lurking elders out there on a witch-hunt to cleanse the congregation so that god's choosen ones can "remain in god's love.

  " so i'm sorry to all you awesome, truthful apostates on this site, but this thread is really intended for any lurking nazis -- i mean, the taliban -- ugh, i mean elders of the world's most "loving" cult religion.. i am an apostate.

  here, i'll save you the trouble:.

  Reaching Loved Ones Stuck in a Cult: Reciprocal Letter Writing

  by 00DAD in

  2. beliefs

  i've been toying with an idea that i think just might have some legs.

  so here i am trotting it out for all of you to consider and comment upon.

  for many of us, we are extremely frustrated by the fact that we have no way to communicate with our loved ones still stuck in the organization.

  Who Do You Think The "Two Witnesses" In Revelation Are?

  by ÁrbolesdeArabia in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  who is to say the "two witnesses" from revelation are not symbolic?

  when we are dealing with revelation how can anyone as wrong as the watchtower society be so dogmatic about doctrines when it's been shown jesus christ has not revealed the "secrets that would be hidden until the last days"?

  for all i know, my opinion on this matter is as good as anyone elses opinion.

  Personally? I believe it is Elijah and Enoch . The only two people who did not see death. Elijha taken up by whirlwind or vehicle.

  And Enoch was such a bad ass, YHWH just took him. But for me this makes sense.

  But what do I know.. :)

  Joel Kool,

  Hey bud, I'm in a similar situation. Or was, kind'a still am.. It's a long story..

  But DON'T run! What an awesome opportunity you have to help this woman. And especially if you kind'a sort'a like her. But Phizzy is correct. Keep your feelings in check. ( Unlike my situation )

  And it is an art. A skill I've been learning with the aid of some people on this forum and other sources. Thank you all very much!

  You being in at one point with the Jdub's is a plus. You understand the mind set, you understand the teachings and you understand the constraints she's under. You also understand where you can poke hole's and plant seeds of doubt in her logic. But do so in love, kindness and be gentle. No need to be a sphincter about it. lol

  Whatever bad taste you have in your mouth about the WT, shouldn't be directed at her. You know what I mean? And I know you know that. So be kind, gentle and use an approach that will let her see things on her own. But don't run away! Don't give up.

  ruderedhead is correct. Use what you know to "witness" to this witness.

  And I personally would reconsider knocking all religion. But I suppose if it means getting her out of the WT, all else is manageable later on.

  Good luck. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

  With all the information /input thats been volunteered to this site , surely someone could produce a book tapping the wealth of information that is contained from contributors.

  Agreed smiddy.. Make it so.

  Seriously, I've met a couple of great people here that I value. The info I learned is heart breaking, yet very helpful and insightful. Oh and comical at times. = )
