  Awesome to hear you are free!!!!!

  I have met many that were disturbed by having to believe two conflicting ideas at the same time...

  Yes, and the BORG makes you feel guilty for about everything you do or don'tdo... or mightdo :-)

  Yeah! you are young! Good for you! Congrats!

  Very true...

  I have felt this more and more and moreas time goes on.

  You can't get to God, you can't have a relationship with Jesus,

  (don't forget, no "mediatior") withOUT the GB.

  It ISall about them... On and on, like a never

  ending song that they sing about themselves.

  Getting Stuck on the Idea of Closure

  by OnTheWayOut in

  i may be suffering twice for having left the jehovah's witnesses and watching my jw wife and other family members stay in.

  once for the changed situation (or loss) and another time for expecting to make progress in getting over it.. the 1969 book on death and dying by elisabeth kubler-ross introduced us to the kubler-ross model , commonly referred to as the " five stages of grief.

  " they are very helpful, but the original idea of the book and the hypothesis was that when a person is faced with the reality of impending death , he or she will experience a series of emotional stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.. it isn't always the case, but those stages are often felt by terminally ill patients.

  Then there is me, Cha Ching!

  Joined March of this year.

  I am happy to see that others are able to see the hypocrisy of the WTBS

  that I and my fam' did....

  607 and overlapping generations was the beginning, and the "here's how

  you can donate more and more and more" was definitely a show of

  their greedy little hands! Life is much more happy now!

  WATCHTOWER IN A PANIC!

  by JW GoneBad in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  jws are in need of more kingdom halls in many major u.s. cities.

  at this years agm where it is expected that most of the faithful will be able to listen to the meeting (being tied in by video), dont be surprised if the wts 8 gb members take part in a symposium delivering some long winded appeal, petition, plea, proposal, proposition, solicitation or otherwise hit-on the masses for $$$ in order to lighten the burden and overuse that many kingdom halls are experiencing.

  an acquaintance from the west coast mentioned to me that in late august thru early september of this year that a number of pow-wows involving close to 5,000 elders from numerous areas (riverside, los angeles, ventura and orange counties) took place to drum up financial support from the 800+ (not sure) congregations in those areas.

  this file is being passed around by jehovah's witnesses concerning adjustments in understanding the 2013/7/15/watchtower.

  the first draft they prepared had a typing error, and nevada sent the draft back to the jws for correction.

  they corrected the typing error and sent it back to nevada.

  The April 8 Awake of 1972 p.32 under the heading: YourChildrenCanLearnFromtheGreatTeacher said:

  "Children listened with fascination to the things taught them by Jesus Christ because he was able to make things simple and easily understood."

  There is no way in HelllOOOooooo that I would want to have to explain this moronic stupidity to my children.

  It makes MY brain hurt.....

  On the other hand, it pretty well shows "that in later periods of time some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to misleading inspired utterances and teachings of demons, 2 by the hypocrisy of men who speak lies," (Col 4:1, 2)

  And, as Paul said in Acts 20:29 "I know that after my going away oppressive wolveswill enter in among YOU and will not treat the flock with tenderness, 30 and from among YOU yourselves men will rise and speak twisted things to draw away the disciples after themselves."

  Questions from Readers ... In light of the new understanding of the Faithful and Discreet Slave, is it appropriate to refer to C.T. Russell as Brother Russell?

  in light of the new understanding of the faithful and discreet slave, is it appropriate to refer to c.t.

  russell as brother russell?.

  in the past, some well meaning ones took it upon themselves to refer to c.t.

  The WTBTS "Out of Darkness" DVD proudly displays The Finished Mystery book (from Russell's era) with a winged sun disc on it.

  2,600 times "Russell's" name appears in the 2006 DVD.

  People fondly remember "The Photo Drama of Creation"... as a great thing that saved people, put them on a new road, and a whole bunch of other nebulous comments, and they don't even know what was on that thing! It was weird! Have you looked at ALL the slides? I have.

  Try saying anything that is doubtful/ disparaging about Russell (I said "Why would God choose Russell who believed in pyramids?") and even tho he is now "not part of the FDS" they will still be mad at you for inferring anything even "true" about him.
