Possible reason JWs on this board Totally ignore what is presented here

by chrisjoel in

(reposting this comment).

its because: they come on this board and see all kinds of xjws not all "speaking in agreement" and compare us with the organization and congregation, where they all "speak in agreement" and are all "unified", and all "fitly tied together in the same mind".

so, how can we have the truth if we are part of a free for all?

i am new here- and very very depressed.

my story is very long and i can not now even tell all the story.

i am shocked, disoriented, depressed.

Welcome Phoebed!

So sorry you had to to through all the trauma that learning "the truth about the truth" entails.

When I was making my discoveries about the deception a very close loved one was dying.

To be honest I am not sure which was the most traumatic, but it was hell on wheels for a while.

And yes it does get better, just try to hang in there and ride it out.

You can do it!!!!!!

it's been unavailable for many days.. rick and inez occasionally post here an i know that mouthy and others here often call-in to the conference calls.. i usually review the conference call archives for topics of interest but the archives had not been updated in a while.

These are quotes where they are proud of their different gospel.

Feb 1, 2006 Watchtower, page 25, para 14:

"That issue of The Watch Tower further stated: "in 1920,...Bible Students came to a correct understanding of our Lord's prophecy contained in Matthew 24:14. They then realized that 'this gospel' which was to be preached in all the world for a testimony to the Gentiles or all nations, was not a gospel of a kingdom yet to come but a gospel to the effect that the Messianic King has begun his reign over the earth."

*** w81 5/1 17-18 If God Has an Organization, What Is It? *** 3 Let the honest-hearted person compare the kind of preaching of the gospel of the Kingdom done by the religious systems of Christendom during all the centuries with that done by Jehovah’s Witnesses since the end of World War I in 1918. They are not one and the same kind. That of Jehovah’s Witnesses is really “gospel,” or “good news,” as of God’s heavenly kingdom that was established by the enthronement of his Son Jesus Christ at the end of the Gentile Times in 1914. (Luke 21:24) The worldwide witness given to this effect under the barrage of international persecution and opposition could have been given only by means of God’s all-conquering spirit. It was accomplished neither by the spirit of man nor by that of Satan the Devil. It was done with the help of God’s holy angels, as is indicated in Revelation 14:6, 7:

YOU KNOW IT'S THE TRUTH BECAUSE, THE WATCHTOWER TELLS YOU IT IS

by elm in

the study editionof the watchtower for september 15th 2010, p13 states "similarly today, a governing body composed of spirit-anointed christians contributes to the unity of the worldwide congregation.

the governing body publishes spiritually encouraging literature in many languages.

this spiritual food is based on god's word.
