  A very simple trick for helping JWs - be nice to them on YouTube!

  by cedars in

  recently i had someone contact me on facebook, thanking me for helping her awaken from indoctrination.. i am always interested in finding out the mechanisms behind people "awakening," so i asked her what i had done to make a difference.

  it turned out i had left a complimentary remark on one of her youtube videos (she was singing a kingdom song) and she learned ttatt after clicking on my name and seeing the so-called apostate videos on my channel.. i don't think it was any of my own videos she ended up watching - from what she described it sounded like someone else's video that i had "liked.

  " nonetheless, it was enough for her to become inquisitive and start exploring, and before she knew it she was free from mind control.. the moral of the story?

  I know they just hired twenty to thirty youngters to run a second shift on the printing press. What I don't get is I know of a couple who live at bethel in Africa and were sent here to brooklyn to go to gilead and their new assignment is going back to bethel in Africa to their old assignment. What was that all about? Doesn't make sense. In the end it's all a waste of money. Money they don't seem to have!

  Along with those cards they have cameras all over the property along with guard dogs. (shepherds) Even at their pioneer homes in foreign countries have guard dogs.

  “New light” Watchtower magazine leaked from organization weeks ahead of general release

  http://jwsurvey.org/governing-body-2/new-light-watchtower-magazine-leaked-from-organization-weeks-ahead-of-general-release.

  if doctrinal explanations are missing from the article, it is because they are also missing from the magazine.. i would like to give my thanks again to my source for supplying me with the magazine article weeks ahead of its scheduled release.

  it showed remarkable courage, because risks were taken.

  Cedars,

  you have compiled what seventy men in watchtowers writing department could never do. This has awakened more of my braincells that I never knew I had. The wheels are turning like when I was first learning the bible. Which by the way leads me into this question if you don't mind answering it

  WHAT WERE YOU LIKE AS A JEHOVAH'S WITNESS AT THE DOORS AND MEETINGS?

  My hat goes off to you and others for displaying such loyalty to the real truth! Helping those that are hungering for truth and helping them trying to find it. I've never had at the same time such mixed emotions of relief, happiness, such sadness, loss of friends and family, finding new friends ect,,, It's quite the roller coaster ride but it was well worth gaining back my selfworth, freewill and sanity.

  Thank you a whole bunch

  There are really TWO Watchtower Societies

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  with cedars release of leaked watchtower new light "adjusting" understanding of "who" the faithful and discreet slave is.....i am struck by something which similarly struck me back in 1967.in 1967 i had just been imprisoned.

  being a male jehovah's witness during the viet nam war meant certain "issues" arose affecting a decision to respond to the military draft.i have told the story before.

  but, i'd like go at it from another angle in view of the above mentioned new light about the fds fora different reason.it was first in 1967 i began to discover that there are two watchtower societies.let me explain why i say this and for what reasons.first of all, anybody standing in a kingdom hall or sitting in a seat at a vast international assembly saw people they would identify as all on the same page.

  Just before leaveing our hall for the last time we were asking too many questions. Anyone that replied would say we're too deep or we take our bible too serious. Even when we would try and talk about examples in the bible we would be told where did you read that or who did you hear that from. The most hilarious was when a sister told me she loved the life stories in the watchtower and that's our spiritual heritage. I grabbed my bible and said no, the bible is my spiritual heritage! You should have seen the blank look on her face and now she tells everyone that I'm too negative about the society. Yet, I'm not the one that has a potti mouth or hangs out with worldly people and tries to hide what I am from the witnesses.

  I hope her husband asks her to explain the July watchtower coming out that cedars explained. She's the type that will get pissed off when she sees that it doesn't make sense and she can't answer his questions.

  Proud to be a watchtower reject since that's how the elders made us feel when they couldn't answer our questions but attacked us with : don't be so dogmatic, negative, critical and are you questioning the fds.

  Terry, you are so dead on. And I am saying that in a POSITIVE light!

  what exactly is an independent mind, from WT pov?

  by cptkirk in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  is this just basically another way to say, we dislike the fact that we aren't able to control you as easily as we would like to?

  or is there actually some precept which reflects this notion somewhere?

  obviously from their pov if you say that you believe in the trinity, that is independent from their pov, but they would never even get to that because you would already be df'ed for apostasy.

  Anyone who reads the bible on their own and builds a personal relationship with themselves and their creator based on their own conscience and bible principles. Along with no doctrine, publications, fear or guilt coming in between you and the bible.

  Look at all the examples in the bible that Yehovah chose in stead of the groups that were suppose to represent his organisation here on earth. Examples like Jesus, David, Daniel, Paul, the two spies instead of the ten, Moses instead of the nation of Isreal, Noah, Abraham, Solomon, Job ect It always boiled down to one guy and why? Obviously, they had a personal relatioship with their creator that pleased him in such a way.

  You can have an organisation but that's not what Yehovah wants. He wants obedience, not sacrifice. Your freewill and not someone saying you better do it our way or you'll die.

  Notes from 2013 Memorial talk: Appreciate What Christ Has Done for You

  took one for the team tonight, and went along to the memorial.

  my first time in a kingdom hall for just over a month.

  it was as expected, dry, boring and extremely uninteresting.

  Christs whole ministry was three and a half years, so does that mean a life long faithful history? No! How long did the apostles know Jesus? That only those that have served for ions can partake?????????????No! That letter that Paul wrote was to the WHOLE congregation of corinthians and some of those people were obviously not in good standing. Read that whole chapter and the one before. They were still learning and not fully equipped. And only Jehovah's witnesses will make it? I won't even go there
