i was just thinking today.
i heard the term been frazed as a "neutral witness".
i think that's what best describes me.
I'm right there with you man, you spoke my mind for me!
I don't know where I am, or who I am, or how things will pan out, I can't decide what to do, whether to speak up to all, just a few, or keep shtum and fade.
I've never felt so lost or alone and yet so excited! Odd way to be... Let's hope we find our way out of this mess...
remember the young dude bashing violent video games...... .

The missus leans over, points at the little picture and whispers "don't look up"!
(i wish I could post pictures here, sorry but you'll just have to look for yourself)
Later on, theres another picture, so I leaned across and pointed at one of the people depicted.. " he looked up"!
(this is completely meaningless without the pictures. Sorry. Epic fail.)
Much giggling ensued which culminated in my better half saying we were going straight to a specially created hell!
And all this the DAY after we'd had the first conversation about my doubts..
apostacitis is a term denoting a condition with which the watchtower society has become thoroughly infected, particularly since the year 1981 when sincere christians who merely resigned from the organization over principled differences in belief became viewed the same as unrepentant wrongdoers (1 cor.
5:11) and as those rejecting the good news about the christ (2 john 9-11).
there was a time when news of one becoming an apostate was so rare among witnesses that it sent shockwaves throughout the organization.

if doctrinal explanations are missing from the article, it is because they are also missing from the magazine.. i would like to give my thanks again to my source for supplying me with the magazine article weeks ahead of its scheduled release.
it showed remarkable courage, because risks were taken.
Data-Dog - thanks for the link to the proclaimers book analysis, I've been reading it tonight instead of at the meeting. Which just happens to be the CO visit! Handy headache eh?
And thanks Cedars, there's a LOT of work gone into all of this, and it's gonna take me a long time to get it into my thick head.
But I'll try.
i dont really listen to christian rap, i prefer christian contempory, but this new song "false teachers" by shia linne is awesome, its nice to see ppl speak out against the scam artist that pretend to be christians.
i think in the song he names 10 ppl.
i know its got some ppl upset, i guess be exposed get ppl mad, sorta like the wt lol, i wish he would have mentioned knorr or the gb..
so i've been talking to one of my jw relatives lately, she's a young adult, born-in.
i've never openly said i don't believe in the governing body, and i've been asking her questions in order to get her thinking.
so i asked her if she believed watchtower publications were inspired and equivalent to the bible.
Marking for future regurgitation...
@punkofnice - that's an impressive amount of quotes, nicely compiled!
has just come into my hands ,1920-1929.....is the one of you who would like it?.
Hey, I just realised one of the things you were offering is the Pastor Russell anthology, which includes the photodrama of creation, the finished mystery, divine plan etc...
I could definitely get away with receiving that through the mail! (no worries if you don't want to faff about splitting it , it'd be easier sending the whole lot to one person...)

mailing will be fine Mouthy, you just need a more suitable candidate to send them to. If it was just a blank cover on the CD I'd prolly get away with it, but I can't risk it just yet..
Someone on here will have it I'm sure.. Thanks anyway Mouthy.
(On an unrelated point, I found a torrent online containing ALL the watchtowers 1879-1949. Halfway through d/l now!)
