this is the exchange of text messages i had with my super spiritual brother.
it is sad... it is pathetic... it has helped me realize that i have no connection to these people anymore.
i feel free today.
Burns me up to think of the entitlement your brother has. He can pioneer and "put jehovah first", and others should support him and make it all perfect. No need to worry about a job or supporting your parents in need, that's what bad successful brother is for. The sheer stupidity of it. So out of touch with any semblance of reality.
I'm glad you are not participating in their attempt to take advantage of you.
hahaa, ive gotta do a demo this week about responding to the question 'are jw's false prophets'?
.
shall i throw in a couple more arguments than the o es i'm given?......
He has the demo in the part, not the part.
I would only add in one additional item to the demo and keep it simple and covert. After the householder asks about mistaken dates or something, you could say, "you must be referring to what happened in 1975 or in the 1980's when the Watchtower said those who saw 1914 would not all pass away?" Householder says yes, and then you move on.
years ago you read my horror stories about being raped by a jw.
i was nine years old when this took place, now the man has been getting all his works in order.
what do i do to stop the seventy-year old pedophile from getting his position back?
Give the congregation name to Tylinbrando who posted above. He can stop it.
since this topic of protesting assemblies recently came up, i was wondering .
what would be the some of the most proficient and perhaps strongest message.
to place on a placard to show as the people arrived at the venue.

hi everyone - i am back but under the name of outforever.
i joined in 2005 under madmax - that is when i got dftd!
i then went to church and sort of joined - i then trusted in the "lord" and my eyes were open to all the nonsense that was taught to us - but just could not get passed all the hypocracy in the chruch and still they just like the jw are teaching nonsense - sorry to all the christians on the board, but after a lot of searching and reading and reading - i now believe that there is no god - no god at all.. especailly after reading on this board about the flood, and how the animals were placed.
Welcome back! I feel the same, we all have to try to make a difference, as we can if we all look for ways everyday. Change and improvement on a global scale take a longggggggg time. But, we can all daily make small steps that will be felt generations from now. Be a part of the solution. Be the change you want to see.
a good friend of mine invited me to a party after her meeting on sunday.
i told her i was not going any longer and she doesn't care.
she also let us know that no other witnesses would be there.
Sheesh. That's warped.
I agree with the post. I was so arrogant... All JW are.
I don't understand the way this was written. I am lost.
i thought of posting this on an ongoing thread regarding proof of noahs flood by poster *lost*, but i think a separate thread is needed.
this is why.. first my disclaimer.
this thread is a theory since so many people love the theory and so as not to hurt feelings and insult anyone, this is only a theory.. my personal observation is this, as long as you bash watchtower all is ok. as soon as you try to present any resemblance of christianity or any belief in the bible, such as the flood, you are personally bashed.
It all makes sense now...

It is distinct from uses of primitive technology without any concern for archaeological or historical study. Living history and historical reenactment , which are generally undertaken as a hobby, are the lay person's version of this academic discipline.
So BOTH dresses up like a mountain man we know. Maybe he reenacts biblical accounts.
in my old congregation, everyone seems clean.
mostly chaste courtship, kingdom hall wedding, blah blah.. well there are lots of cases of fondling but they were soon forgotton.
when my husband and i confessed to sex before marriage, the elders were disgusted.
Vidiot - Jeffro was just quoting the bible. It says that! If you rape a girl, pay her dad 250$ in modern money and she is your wife now. That's crazy but real.
Poor girl. Worth $250... And married to her rapist.
