hi guys...is it me...i am beginning to wonder: is a happy ex-jw a target?
i have had a few run ins this week on fb with random jws trying to check me for things that have absolutely nothing to do with the org.
(please dont ask me why they have not un-friended me!
Yeah the most annoying thing in the world is what you describe. It's happened and still happening to me.
My conversation went just like Outlaw describes. Except finally the JW actually chuckled and said, "well how do you convince someone you are happy". To which I replied, thank you! I am happy!
i am back from bakersfield and i can say it was the best district convention ever!
the end is coming soon, a few of the annointed were speaking about 2014 possibly being the year that jehovah would destroy all the hateful apostates!
the focus of this convention was not on love or the message of the good news of the kingdom.
Post the video on YouTube. You know he needs it, and you know you want to do it.
it's been reported on this forum that bethel speakers at this summer's conventions are asserting that the establishment of the united nations in 1945 was predicted in advance by the witnesses.
this is being presented as validation of the claim that the witnesses are god's one true organization directed by holy spirit.. .
the basis for this claim originates with a public address entitled, peace - can it last given by n.h. knorr at the new world theocratic assembly, on september 20 of 1942. .
So incredibly thankful for this site and you posters. TD, Leolaia, and Bobcat - thank you!
When you are newly leaving, it's these types of "prophesies" which weigh on the mind the most. You've been taught your whole life they are prophesies. It makes it hard to leave. But, understanding this info you all have posted breaks you free.
I'd like to help Meta. I'm pm'ing you my number. Txt me or give me a ring. Hang in there.
it is all loaded with way too much sugar.
i have found sugar free twirls online but they are sweetened with agave and splenda.
i am not a fan of agave or splenda.
You my friend are hilarious.
a letter read at our meeting.. .
our congregation is assigned a location (a nearby congregation) to listen (video, also?
) to the annual meeting.
Great. Another thing I can be encouraged to attend.

This is just an opportunity to rewrite books as well. Lots of money to be made.
he just can't seem to stop himself taunting "these muslims" or "some muslim or other".
among his favourite taunts are:.
"all the world's muslims have fewer nobel prizes than trinity college, cambridge.".
Agree with the last two posts. He picks on Christians too. He picks on the right stuff.

Maybe this will wake some up? If they see the added stuff...

Totally changing the wording helps many verses Cofty. Jesus speaking to the criminal on his side comes to mind.
