WHEN LOGIC AND EMOTION BATTLE
EMOTION ALWAYS WINS.
this is probably going to be a long post, since i am going to be added some parts of our conversations on facebook.
my mother has been involved sort of with the jw's, since she was younger.
so she's always kind of believed in their stuff.

i've just finished my fourth and final "under the microscope" series of articles in which (hopefully) i've debunked many of the arguments often put forward by those claiming that jehovah's witnesses must be god's sole channel of communication with mankind.. this latest article focusses mostly on "the finished mystery" and the many errors contained therein that prove it couldn't possibly have been approved by christ when he was ostenisbly selecting the bible students as his chosen earthly representatives in 1919. i would like to thank and acknowledge alfred as being a huge help in compiling a list of key "highlights" of the book that serve to expose it for what it really is - a total work of fiction and absurdity.. shortly before alfred left this forum, we discussed the possibility of using his list to produce a special leaflet that people could print out themselves and insert in their "revelation climax" books, or "revelation climax" books belonging to family members.
i'm delighted to announce (with my best sunday afternoon convention speaker voice!
) that this leaflet is now ready, and available for download on the links below:.
Brilliant!
Thank you Cedars.
hello all..... a few months ago my wife expressed serious concerns about the time i had spent over the past couple of years reading old watchtower literature (printed circa 1880 through the late 30s) and the time spent on this site and several others.
she is very grateful that i was very persistent in trying to convince her that this is just a mind-control cult run by clueless men who simply make things up as they go along.
it wasnt easy, but im thankful that i was able to wake her up thanks to many of you.
Thank you Alfred for your contributions.
Your posts were always good reading.
Many thanks ........and may you have a more settled and contented future.

my pain has been in remission.
i have a morphine pump.

So sorry BOTR.
If I could find the right words to say, I'd say them.
If I could think of the right thing to do, I'd do it.
But you do know there are a lot folk on the board rootin for you.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
the courage to change the things I can;
and the wisdom to know the difference.
a loving spirit in the congregation.
be zealous in the ministry.
9. how does our attitude toward the field ministry.
Thanks Blondie.
As has been said many times before: "I dunno how you do it".
i have been on this site daily, almost from its beginning, since i left the jws in 2001, but i have been more of a reader than a poster, as you can see from my post count.
i know few here know me, although i know many of you through reading your posts.
maybe it is not right to ask for support, when i generally stay quietly in the background of this forum, but i want only to speak a human misery of the deepest kind.
Dear Truman,
I do hope the JW memorial was in some way comforting.
At least it is what Glendon would have wanted.
Our thoughts are with you.

the entire special assembly day - this is a zipped audio file.

or piecemeal.
I wonder how many bethelites he got to tell that they were being "sent back to the territory."
I heard it was Max "the Axe" Lloyd who was especially brought in for that job.
His experience is in the July 15 Watchtower, but he doesn't mention the reason he was needed in Brooklyn.

I am so sorry, no parent should have to go through this.
I hope the support you are receiving here helps relieve the pain just a little.

on 4/6, the poster orphan annie posted about her experiences with jw's and her ill husband.
unfortunately, her husband died monday, and she is feeling very sad.
i just wanted to make others aware of it, so that we can encourage her and give her some much needed support during this rough time.. her original thread is here.
I'm sorry Orphan Annie.
The pain of losing your mate must be a most dreadful thing. I just wish I could ease that pain somehow.
Hugs
