So sad...
here's something i've brought up into conversation with a couple of witnessess and i was curious about what other thought.. let's say a witness goes into a coffee shop and sits between an athiest and a christian.. the witness starts a conversation with the athiest about the bible.
the athiest poses the question about the reliability of the bible.
the witness explains that the bible is completely trustworthy because of it's historical accuracy, meticulous transmission, etc.. the athiest says that's interesting and thanks him for the information.. the witness then turns to the christian and begins the same conversation he had with the athiest.
good luck with that one...
what i mean is, the regular JW will shut you up, put his hand up and cut you off...they are so indoctrinated...WTS all the way for them and anything different or challenging is not acceptable!
however, hopefully you run into a JW that has some logic and free thinking
so as you all know, i have fully faded...i'm completely out and have not told the elders or da myself...just faded 100%.... so i run into an active jw, different congregation, and as i walk past him i say, "hey so and so, how are you doing?
"....he looks down, doesnt dare look at me in the eyeball and keeps walking...then a split second later he turns around and says, hey man, aren't yuo disfellowshipped?....
i was like wtf?...lol, i said "not that i know of"...i asked him who told him such thing?...he wouldnt tell me who, but he had "heard"...so i just left it at that and told him if he wants to know then to contact my ex-elders.... my thing is, could the elders have df'ed me without me knowing it?...i have not been accused of their so called "apostasy", nor have i received a letter requesting info or to set up a meeting, nor a call...the coordinating elder (formally president/presiding overseer) still texts me all the time saying hi etc...no religious texts or anything like that).
YES! she's still active, I told her what happened and she just laughed....
she would have told me...at least I hope so...but the fact that the top elder there still texts me, and tells me I will always be his friend tells me something
either he's waking up, or he's trying to trick me

I almost laughed in this guy's face...now that I have awoken, such behavior is SO ridiculous...
It's like they're terrified!!

Could the writer have awoken and found TTABTT?
I plan to use this with my wife today...as well as that July 2009 Awake article that talks about how no one should be forced to believe that their way of worship is wrong, or something along those lines...
Love to all of you
the term "governing body" is not in the bible.
they tend to squirm out of such reasoning with something like this, "the word 'bible' is not in the holy scriptures but you still say it, right?
" "the holy scriptures" (2 tim.
when the scriptures mention to be submissive to the ones taking the lead, I always ask them, "taking the lead in what?"...
If you read the context, it mentions taking the lead in showing love,taking care of the sick etc...
not setting up man made laws
