i have 3 sisters still in the org.

is it still called the "org"?

2 of them maintain no contact, one because i'm an evil apostate, the other is two faced about it(nice on the phone 2x a year, but does not let anyone know about the contact) the 3rd is pretty cool about it, we e-mail alot and i call monthly( all live 1200 miles away).

I heard a story recently where a sister was Df'd but her husband was a faithful Dub. When he died the funeral place was packed, full of JDubs. After the first Eulogy?, the wife got up to thank everyone for coming, all the Faithful JW's got up and walked out right in the middle!!!! Her family and all hte non-JW's were horrified. Can you image being that rude to someone. The think that terrifies me is I wonder what I would have done?

BTW on h2O we refer to the Org. as the BORG.

OrangeVale Bob, (mind if I just call you Bob, it's a heck of a lot faster to type)

Glad I could help. There are a lot of great books and sites to check out. Another good book is "Apocolypse Delayed" by James Penetnse. As the story goes he was a faithful JW in Canada, and did a short little writeup on JW's up there for the local paper. Well, it was a real hit, he has a great wrighting style. So they asked him to do a more involved piece. He got a grant from the Government to do the research, well what a good Witness he was planning on giving. But once he started researching, he found things he never would have fathomed. He was df'd and has written an excellent history of the JW's deffinentaly a must read.

There's also a great book called, "Faith on Trial", it's written by a lady who is a lawyer, trying to prove weather or not the gosple accounts would stand up as credible witness in a court of law. It's really interesting. What happens to so many when the lose faith in the WTS is they lose faith in the Bible and God, which is so sad. We need to keep up our srpirutality, but now we do it on our own. There are a ton of books out there, good and bad. If you need any nore recomendadtions for any area, feel free to ask.

hey all, hope you're having a great year so far.. before witnet was closed down, there was an interesting discussion regarding the fds and their failed prophecies.

i asked a question, but unfortunately there wasn't enought time to get everyone's view.. so i'll rephrase my posts, and wait to hear from y'all.. if we are so quick to say that the fds is a false prophet because of some failed prophecies (even tho they say they don't prophecy, we all know better) then how would you explain the bible book of jonah?.

a faithful prophet, jonah, followed (after much trial and tribulation to himself) jehovah's command to declare destruction on the city of nineveh.

Hey, we can tell even when we look away, You guys think your soooo clever. The reflective sunglass don't work either. How many guys at the DC tried that one [=:0]!

I'm glad your going to try and find the answers. If you have any particular questions feel free to post them, I'm sure you'll get pleny of help.

Freeminds is a great place, so is H2O. You really should read "Crisis of Conscience".

If they are annionted and recieve holy sprit on their descions why does the GB need a 2/3 vote to get something passed. Wouldn't they all be getting the same 'spirit'.

Questions that make you go hmmmmmm?
