Magotan's Story

by magotan in

hi all, i've posted here in crisis a few weeks ago.

i recently have finally taken the time to write out my entire story.

i knew i had to come out to my parents and family about everything, my sexuality, and my issues with the jehovah's witnesses.

Magotan: Your story was very touching. My brother in-law killed himself because he could not deal with being gay and having the family shun him. I hate to admit this, but the mind controll also affected my attitude tword him, which I have now come to greatly despise. Christ set NO conditions on love. A destructive mind controll cult that callls its self Jehovahs witnesses does set conditions.

My friend, your story, I feel has put on the path to your healing.

Affectionately: Brother of the Hawk ( I will surrener my mind no more, forever) Magton, Christian love!

Crazy JW chaperon Stories

by superman in

jw
friends

the jw's must not trust their members or at least don't have too much faith in them when it comes to being alone around member of the opposite sex.

i can remember one time in particular from when i was a teenager that still makes me laugh today.. when i was younger i used to go out in service on a regular basis during the week when i had summer break.

one time when i met for service there were only two other people that showed up.

My wife and I totally embarrassed my elder cousin and the man named John when they came to investigate our apostasy. The story goes like this. Gojira 101 was dating her husband and my cousin elder made us jump through hoops to make sure they were always properly chaperoned. We did EVERYTHING we were told to do.. They get married. Now My cousin Who I will just refer to as "B" (female) starts to date this elder friend of N.E. and I. BTW my wife introduced them. So after only 2 dates which N.E. chaperoned one and I the other. The elder in front on my family including Gojira and her husband says loud and clear. " Chaperones at our age is ridiculous!" After this statement they start to date without chaperones. Now "B" was living with us at that time. These un-chaperoned dates lasted way past midnight and "B" bragged about their parking. At one point they parked in my driveway till 1am. They got married. Now keep in mind N.E. and I pointed this out to John and Elder cousin. and called him a hypocrite, making us jump through hoops while he and "B" kept us up till 1am parking in my driveway. The look on his face was PRICELESS!!!! We added insult to injury when NE said " and that's why Gojira and her husband did not want a shepherding call from you." We have NOT heard a word since then, and it's been over 2 months. Affectionately: Brother of the Hawk (I will surrender my mind no more,forever)

Stoning sinners to death

by jws_rock in

so we've adopted the refusal of blood transfusions given how the bible clearly states it's a sin to reintroduce blood into the body once it has been shed; however, why don't we still stone sinners to death (just the really bad ones) like they did in they did when times were purer?.

Brother of the Hawk

jws_rock: Welcome to the board. I do hope I am not going off topic. But if you read more carefully the scripture you quoted at Acts 15: 28-29 there are TWO separate blood issues there!!! Most JWs miss this little point, I know I did for 42 years. I did alot of research on this and the truth of the matter is, it has absolutely NOTHING to do with blood transfusions, since blood transfusions were NOT even conceiveable at this time in History.

James, when HE settled the matter on circumcision had something else in mind when he gave his answer. Both points on this matter have to do with Gods Law ( the 10 commandments) of murder ( not shedding mans blood) and the sanctity of life and pouring out the blood an animal YOU killed. Please refer to: Lev 17:14-16 NWT

For the soul of every sort of flesh is its blood by the soul in it. Consequently I said to the sons of Israel: “YOU must not eat the blood of any sort of flesh, because the soul of every sort of flesh is its blood. Anyone eating it will be cut off.”

As for any soul that eats a body [already] dead or something torn by a wild beast, whether a native or an alien resident, he must in that case wash his garments and bathe in water and be unclean until the evening; and he must be clean. 16 But if he will not wash them and will not bathe his flesh, he must then answer for his error.’”

Notice an Isrealite could eat an "unbled" already dead animal, since he did not kill the animal there was nothing to pay back to God!!

My question to you is this. Whose life is taken to obtain blood in a blood transfusion? No ones, so there is nothing to pay back to God!! The WTBT$ is mis-applying the scriptures at Acts to control its followers and appear to be MORE enlightened than all other religions. Think about it!

If you really want to have your mind blown, read 1 Cor 8: 1-13. Paul CORRECTS James comments regarding "things sacrificed to idols". have fun with that one.

Since leaving watchtower what has been your biggest act of rebellion?

i'm in a pissy mood and would love to hear your stories.

personally, i'm thinking of getting a tatoo on my rear end saying wbt$ kiss this!.

Brother of the Hawk

Aunt fancy: It was simple, I just did not put it in. When I would see the brothers around town and they say the earing, I had a good and reasonable justifcation for having it. You see, I do historical reenactments and I would say it was part of my persona. My avitar is me and my dog Zip. In reality, the ONLY person who said anything negative was my mother she said and I quote " Thats's disgusting". After she got use to it and accepted it was a Conscience matter, ("It's my conscience and yours don't matter" ) she asked what I liked better stud or a ring. I said" I perfer a claw." And boy do I have some. When we moved to where we are now the brothers also did not have any problems with it. NO gossip. Go figure!!

Does God really have a personal name?

by XPeterX in

the bible says that the personal name of god is jehovah/yahweh/jah etc.thing is,we don't know it's correct pronounciation (or the pronounciation of any hebrew name).the name jehovah as we know it today means "he causes to become".someone who causes something to become is just called "creator" or "maker".right?he gave that name to his self so that people or the angels could call him by a name.also,how was he called before the creation of the anything?how can some people claim to be his friends if they don't know his actual name?discuss.

Brother of the Hawk

ABM: Interesting video. I will reserve my personal comments at this time and on this board. But I will say my own personal investigation and research into the Divine name is very close to what MR. Gordon says, with the exception of the Americanized pronunciation of "hova". I will agree with adamah, and I also stated it to NE when we watched the video he is selling a books. This is a promotion of his book. That's all I have to say about that. Affectionately: Brother of the Hawk ( I will surrender my mind no more, forever)

The Watchtower Society Cripples Their Own Preaching Work

by Nosferatu in

jw

if there's one scripture that defines the entire purpose of a jehovah's witness's existence, it's matthew 24:14.

"this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.".

this is the entire purpose of going door to door.

Brother of the Hawk

This also shows the WTBT$ is monitoring youtube looking for apostate things.

Hell! while I was still in I got my left ear pierced. That was about 8 years ago. Long story, but if you watched our video on youtube that elder named Jim was the biggest reason I did what I did.

by NeverKnew in

i was telling my extended family (also non-jws) about the pyramid near russell's grave i saw months ago.

i showed them pictures of the four sides and the interesting inscriptions along with the pictures of the founder's grave.. there are a couple of jw women who come to see my cousin every once in a while.
