A question for those still active as JWs
by Rufus T. Firefly in
1. jw
2. experiences
from the sept. 15, 1981 watchtower, p. 23, par.

a person might renounce his place in the christian congregation by his actions, such as by becoming part of an organization whose objective is contrary to the bible, and, hence, is under judgment by jehovah god.

so if one who was a christian chose to join those who are disapproved of god, it would be fitting for the congregation to acknowledge by a brief announcement that he had disassociated himself and is no longer one of jehovahs witnesses.. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.

i'm new here but have been lurking here for a couple of months.

i am 3rd gen born in but have been inactive for a few years but always had the intention to make another go of the truth, but not now that i know ttatt.

i became inactive due to the inhumane treatment from family members who are elders.

Defrauding the elderly ,the following story appeared on ex-jw.com

the following story appeared on ex-jw.com ,before you read it i want to add my own testimony .some years ago there was an announcement at the kingdlom hall to donate money for the construction of a new kingdom hall ,many brothers and sisters donated their life savings and some considerable amounts .ten years later no kingdom hall and the money has long since being transfered to the watchtower's accounts where it earns them a nice interest .amongst these brothers were also elderly ones that could have used this money for their retirement.now the story :".

"i am writing this article to share my personal experiences and to disclose to all current and former jehovah's witnesses that the potential for the watchtower organization to take advantage of their elderly parents clearly exists.

i am specifically referring to the handling of family inheritances, last wills and testaments, estates, family trusts, and the disposition of property and cash assets.. .

To all the Elders, Ms, Co etc. out there - Are you accountable for the deception
by *lost* in

2. scandals
if the elders united, rebelled and shut up shop - would it bring down the wt.

they 'shepherd the flock' - does that make them more accountable than anyone else for the deception and lies and trickery and deceit.. are they all non-believers who are along for the ride ?.

are they cowardly for taking a stand ?.

My Meetings With Two Elders Today, "I am not a Christian and I am going to Die!"
by ÁrbolesdeArabia in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
hi, my time is drawing ever closer as i can no longer speak lies about the organization and all the past revisions and my sins i committed against everyone i judged while serving on judicial committees.

i lay awake at night with guilt because i ask jehovah and his son jesus christ to forgive me for being so judgemental, self assured and arrogant at certain times in my life.

i was not a prince of peace, at times i was a coward when i was first appointed because i wanted to keep all things peaceful with my peers, not with my heavenly father and saviour jesus christ.

i have only posted on here several times, but i am constantly reading what others post.

Rebuttals:"Wait on Jehovah"
by Emery in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
ok i think most of you at some point have come across the apologetic saying "wait on jehovah" from jws whenever an injustice occurs in the organization.

many have also used this expression to abandon evidence against the "truth".

this has easily become one of my biggest pet peeves now since speaking to others about ttatt.
