  "50 Years a Watchtower Slave" Chapter 5 Part B

  by new boy in

  one thing they never talked about at the assemblies was how many predictions they made in the pass about the so called end of the world.

  predictions that never came to be.

  i didn’t know it at the time and most jehovah’s witnesses didn’t know that charles russell (1852-1916), the founder, believed that christ had secretly arrived in the year 1874 and that he would establish the kingdom of god on earth in october 1914 russell based this prophecy on his studies of the bible and the great pyramid.

  i just wanted to add my name to the many number of people who have awakened from the cult.

  i have been lurking for probably 2 years now.

  and i'm quite certain there are many more lurking and reading just like me.. i have to be honest and say that i most likely will not be contributing much to the discussion board.

  Know John Graeff. Last I heard he was Preaching at The Port of Miami.

  I guess these men and women are looking to make a few bucks on the side.

  If the 95% rate of Bethelites leaving JW's, how come we don't have more of them posting here? So far, I have found this thread very entertaining.

  To all former Elders – what are your thoughts

  by Tallon in

  if you were part of a judicial committee, and knowing what you know now, what was it like for you to sit on jc’s?

  how did you feel if someone was reproved or df’d?

  were you ever on a jc and you disagreed with someone being reproved or df’d and were overruled – how did you feel?

  When I asked them to forgive me, both of them were good. They have moved on with their lives and are doing well. I guess I did them a favor!

  By Way of Announcement, Darlene Jefferson Has Been Disfellowshiped

  by Cold Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was watching a jw video where the announcement was made of a young lady's being disfellowshiped, and it happened in a regular kh sunday meeting.

  this struck me as being a bit...cold.

  is this when the shunning begins?

  I looked at the Elder's "Shepherd" book and the "OD" book. It makes no mention which Meeting the Announcement is to be made. However, only The mid week meeting has time allowed for local announcements(at the end). Blondie is right about the reasoning the Elders use for the time of the announcement. However, I recall a time when we rein-stated a person right before the Convention and the CO gave us permission to announce it on a Sunday Meeting, so he could have fellowship there with him.

  When you were fully in, did you believe that you would not die?

  by TTWSYF in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know that it must seem silly to ask, but my brother and his family think that the big a will arrive before they die.

  i tried to explain to my brother that everyone else who has ever lived in the past has died and only jesus has [physically] rose from the dead.. it is amazing that anyone could buy that line.

  what crazy cult culture that could make people believe such nonsense?!.
