Thanks for starting this post Clarity. Words cannot express how thankful I am for this site - it gave me back my sanity. I dont post much but look at it everyday. As a born in with most of family a jw, It really is comforting knowing there are many here who understand what it's like. I attended the last day if the DC a while back & saw a good friend I hadn't seen for couple years (when I became inactive). She sai I looked the happiest she had ever seen me - I have the wonderful ppl on here to thank for that. So... BIG thank you everybody!!!

This time it's really hard to qualify to become a Travelling Convention Delegate
by Quarterback ini kid you not.
the letter read twice at our meeting stated that the travelling delegates should be at least 19 yrs of age, but be an exemplary publisher for over 20 yrs.

Conversation I had with Elder, "It's Ok To Lie If they don't deserve the truth!" Who created this dogma?
by AuntConnie inwhat is the origin of "theocratic warfare" and jehovah's witnesses being able to freely life if they feel it's for the "greater good" of the watchtower?
i asked the elder if jesus christ ever lied, he said "yes, jesus refused to answer questions from people!
" can you show me where this is in the bible?

Did she tell a lie? No, she did not. She was not a liar. Rather, she was using theocratic war strategy, hiding the truth by action and word for the sake of the ministry.
How is hiding the truth by word AND action not a lie? Where do they get this crap from?

I've noticed that last few years majority getting baptised are young & have jw parents. Very few from d2d work... The one person I knew who was baptised thru d2d work became inactive after a year later. We caught week last week. I planted a few seed subtle seeds - I don't think they will set foot in a KH again. Mission accomplished!!

Another Witness Goes on about Syria and the Big "A"
by Wasanelder Once inwas speaking with a jw about an issue of mutual interest and he went on about how close we are to the end and "we just dont know how this syria situation may turn the un against religion".
gimme a break.
but this time, first ever, there was despair in his voice as if he didn't believe it any longer.

Given that so many have given up so much to be part if this religion, they look for ANYTHING that could mean the big A is almost here as it would mean all that they sacrificnotes not in vain. My auntie always points out that the big A is soo close each time she sees any thing bad on the news. So yes, I hear this blah blah blah every time I see her....
