My brother says: Don't worry about 2052, we will be in paradise by then...
by Joliette ini was talking to my brother about a video that i saw about african genocide, and in the video this doctor that i listened to was saying based on his research he predicts that africans in different regions of africa will be scaled back by about 50% by the year 2052 (due to aids, food storages, etc).
my brother gave me a drive home from work and we were talking about this.
he said that we wont have to worry about that cause 2052 is never going to happen.

CAN YOU BE AN 'APOSTATE' IF YOU WERE NEVER BAPTIZED?
by Mary inthis subject came up with a friend of mine on facebook the other day.
he was never officially baptized as a witness and i believe he is now a born again christian.. does crooklyn consider someone an 'apostate' if you were never actually a full-fledged member but ended up leaving?
or are you just considered 'bad association'??

My little brother was never baptized but because he was a 'born in' and started reading 'apostate' material and was gay, he was pretty much shunned by my mom, siblings and congregation.

Who pioneered with the promise of having 'Jehovah provide' and ended up dirt poor anyway?
by Julia Orwell ini ask this because the wt always bangs on about if you trust in jehovah and make that leap into pioneering, you will always be provided for.

I did. I loved it, it did create a hardship as expected. But what I loved about it was this. On those days when I had to work alone I only took the bible to the door. I aksed the HH if he ever wanted to ask a JW about the bible or any other related question about the bible I would be glad to answer It for him. I did leave myself wide open, but man oh man did I ever get into some discussions. It must also be noted that most HH did not want to talk about the bible. With or without a Wt the HH did not want to be bothered with. Go figure!!

The TOPIC which may never be discussed!
by Terry inquestion: how does the leadership of jehovah's witnesses instruct its members to prepare for the eventual elder care of its members?.
answer: it pretends it will never happen!.
is this responsible leadership or some kind of cognitive dissonant malfeasance?.

My mom just receintly told me she was going to die in this system. All I could do was agree with her! she was Baptised in 72. Now she is 72 and going to die in this system. She gave up so much to serve the WT God!!!!

Tech49- Welcome and great opening and follow up posts. It is nice to be in controll. Look forward to reading more. I too saw alot of what you describe, though I never served as a elder I did push alot of buttons and because of that I got to see and hear alot. to many confidences were broken, I came to know things I should not have known. But it never got me to drinking!!! I knew these were imperfections if men. But when i started investigating the Org. and thier Big LIE well that was it for me.!!

Lost: HELLO! Thanks for your thumbs up. Yes, my searching has also turned up the info you mentioned. Remember Rev. says after the destruction of Babylon the Great she will become a lurking place for demons. So it should not surprise us that some of these monks and others have a demonic influence.

Do you feel guilty?
by new hope and happiness ini have recently been having a feeling of guilt for having escaped the w.t while so many friends and family remain trapped.. has anyone else ever had similar feelings?.
-

Brother of the Hawk
Never felt any guilt leaving a LIE!!!!!!!. Family has all left us, that is thier choice not ours. With over 40 + years in the borg, not any close relationships.
The greatest thing I took away from this JW religion is my wife. She's a great person and a great companion and compliment. My daughter is also a super fantastic person also.
BUT NO GUILT!!!

The "Sign of the last days" and 2 Timothy 3:1-5
by EdenOne ini've just published on my website a new article: the "sign of the last days" and 2 timothy 3:1-5 (click to visit).
it contains a critical analysis of the context of 2 timothy 3:1-5 and a refutation of the connection with matthew 24:3, and therefore, of the expression "sign" + "last days".. the article is divided in the following parts:.
