Just in time for Memorial season...

by OutsiderLookingIn in

this is short and quick but maybe it's a seed to plant in the 10 days until the memorial.

i have talked to jws who tell me their reason for not eating the bread and drinking the cup is because that was only a new covenant with his disciples (and in their wonky extension, the 144,000).

but i just thought of a few things.

Crazyguy

Jws pick and choose what Scriptures they will use. They are taught by stupid men and so they end up stupid too. Example they love James 1:26-27 faith with out works is worthless yet never read Ephesian 2:8-9 where it says the exact opposite.

About the eating of the bread and wine, every other Christian religion knows that Jesus was talking to everyone in the crowd at copernium when he said you have to eat my flesh to have life in you. The second group he talks about the other sheep is the gentiles, Christians know this as well.

A poll of sorts: How long have you been a "fader" for?

by SecretSlaveClass in

i'm curious about the following:.

1) how long have you been a fader for?.

2) how often do you still get pressure from congregation members and/or family to return as an active witness?.

Stan what made you quit in 1971? You we're so close to the end of the system of things. Must have been big.

Feeling A Bit Down Today

by jacobm in

jw
friends

hey y'all, .

i'm not sure about you, but i occasionally get those days where i feel a bit down, as if i have no friends.

i do have a number of great friends, though, and am very thankful for them.. i think it might have to do with the residual programming of having a "worldwide brotherhood".

Crazyguy

They weren't friend's, proof move ten minute's away to another congregation and you'll nevesr hear from them again except seeing them at the assembly s

Partaking of emblems

by sloppyjoe2 in

friends

this year will be my first for by going to the memorial.

i will get asked by my parents how i can deny jesus even if i don't believe the end is close.

my thoughts on this are as follows, bear in mind saying it's all make believe is not an option.. i think that jesus intended for everyone to eat the bread and drink the wine.

Crazyguy

I did it the last time I went. The wine was good just nibble the bread it sucked.

Why all the secrecy in Gods organisation?

by Truthexplorer in

looking back and seeing all the secrecy and cover ups throughout wt history such as the secret elders books, the branch correspondence guidelines, the shameful lying and deceipt exposed during the arc questioning, the in-house way of dealing with things, the lack of openness to the media on issues such as blood or child abuse or anything controversial for that matter.

could this relate in some way to russell's alleged past as a freemason?

it seems quite strange that the founder of the bible students quite possibly may have been a freemason, (an organisation well known for its secrecy).

Damn strait, just picked my wife's car bring it home,.need a ride back to pick up mine. Anyway she's not home nobody is, call her and my son all phones are off. She's off with the family watching the monthly broadcast at the hall. Doesn't tell me or anything, as if I don't know. She's done it now twice, she's gone and done other things as well all hush hush big secret. I bet she thinks that I don't know two of my boys are having a Bible study with a MS. Its all just so stupid especially since I have never stopped her or the family from going or doing anything JW.

My frustration grows at the manipulated ignorant masses.

by Crazyguy in

i'm will be the first to admit i'm not a smart guy.

dropped out of high school to help my parents make a living.

who needs an education anyway when the end is so close.

Crazyguy

I'm will be the first to admit I'm not a smart guy. Dropped out of high school to help my parents make a living. Who needs an education anyway when the end is so close. Any way my education then came the hard way. But I must say this, I have always been open to ideas and other peoples opinions so I guess that's what helped me to wake up.

Whats so frustrating is realizing how much we're all manipulated. I did not realize until a few days ago that there are Bible believing creationists that believe the earth is only 6000 years old created in a literal 24 Hour day. Then to see how these religious leaders lie and take out of context scientific evidence to the contrary. People just eat up these lies. I see how donting of a task it is to free people like our JW friends and family when the other side is using such tactics to keep the masses ignorant. Very frustrating.

World Wide Construction comes to a Shuddering Halt - Jehovah's Blessing has Evidently been Suspended!

by Slidin Fast in

the chelmsford project in the uk has already come to a halt and every one has been sent home.

the bethel family in london is to be cut by several hundred.

my impression is that most ambitious youngster in the org dream of being involved with the building program.

Crazyguy

Its interesting that in a different thread it was brought out that they have taken all the money and assets out of Canada or relieved it from the Canadian branch. Why would they do this, Canada doesn't seem to have a court system that allows for large punitive damages so why?
