  "I don't care if it's teachings are false, I'd never leave because it's the best way of life"

  have you ever heard that statement?

  i have heard it many times and i just don't know what to do with it.

  they are chosing a to live a lie because they like the lifestyle.

  When a JW is trapped into a doctrinal corner, this is the typical reasoning to justify allegiance to the organization.

  Why No Disfellowshipping Before 1952?

  by blondie in

  why was there no official arrangement before 1952 to disfellowship people?

  was there a different procedure with a different name?

  was no one committing disfellowshipping offenses?

  Anyone else notice the new Terms of Use on jw.org?

  i first noticed it today... slides up at the bottom.

  i wonder why they felt the need to do this?

  this is just silly for a religious website..

  Maybe the purpose is that you cannot copy from the jw.org website and then post that information elsewhere, so that no trace of evidence is left when the GB re-writes some of the past published information that gets edited because of some "new light" .... thus making "apostate" claims harder to prove.

  Reading the Bible Alone "Will Lead you to Apostate Thinkings!" Stay a Watchtowerite!

  by BucketShopBill in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  "from time to time, there have arisen from among the ranks of jehovah's people those, who, like the original satan, have adopted an independent, faultfinding attitude...they say that it is sufficient to read the bible exclusively, either alone or in small groups at home.

  but, strangely, through such 'bible reading,' they have reverted right back to the apostate doctrines that commentaries by christendom's clergy were teaching 100 years ago.

  the watchtower, aug. 15, 1981.. .

  https://anointedjw.org/qr_august_2014.html#qr_082914c.

  so, they are claiming that these new partakers associated with their site are not being df'd.. i understand that two witness guys run this site.

  can anyone confirm that they are not df'd?.

  From a doctrinal point of view, they're interesting, but their unsubstanciated claims of mass "conversions", especially of people highly ranked in the Org are simply too fanciful to be believed. Then there's their backing of the Urantia Book [from which they have since retracted], that gives me cold feet. I follow the developments with interest, but from a safe distance.

  The other day I went out in FS with our congregation's COBE; when we rang at the gate of a beautful mansion, he commented: "Really nice house ... I wonder if it'll become available soon after Armageddon, because I'd love to take it". I just looked the other way, wanting to puke.

  My Story: from JW Elder to Born Again Christian to Agnostic

  by passwordprotected in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i first posted here on 3rd june 2008. at the time i was an elder, appointed the previous october, i was 36 and i was a born-in.

  at the time i'd become disillusioned with the society due to the governing body's letter explaining why the book study in private homes was being abolished.

  april 2008 saw me start questioning this decision, privately of course, and this eventually led me to this site, to jwfacts and to many youtube videos, all of which began to errode my faith in the leaders of the organisation.. in july 2008, having discussed my doubts with my wife, i attended the district convention, deciding to give the society one last chance to convince me it was the truth.

  An important message from a PRACTICING Jehovah's witness

  by Sparks in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi, i am also a practicing jehovah's witness and very proud of it,to say the very-very least..!

  i am a middle-aged man with many decades of being a witness of jehovah god in england.. this important letter is personally to you, just as many of the bible's 88 letters are to be taken personal by you the reader.

  i am writing to you to urge you to take stock of your life, think what your future holds for you.

  Sad ... And to think that most of us, at some point, were in a similar judgemental, arrogant mindset ... It's embarassing.

  thank you for reminding us all what we don't want to go back to.
