  Thoughts on Reading CoC

  by love2Bworldly in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am reading crisis of conscience and am wondering what goes through people's minds when they read it, i am on about page 115. i find it slow reading because of the way it is written.

  even though i have been out of the org for going on 20 years, i am a little shocked at some of the stuff i'm reading and i feel like it shouldn't shock me.

  i remember when i was a jw, how the governing body was put on a pedestal; everyone assumes they spend all their time studying and praying over matters from a scriptural standpoint.

  I'm sorry. I didn't mean to try to "hi-jack" this thread.

  I have heard that "In Search of Christian Freedom" is just about Ray's search for Christ or something. Is there any juicy inside the GB stuff in that book as well?

  Thanks for any responses on this,

  just a thought from tonight's bible reading that kinda hit in a funny way.

  in all my years i've never heard this scripture used like this.

  *** rbi8 1 samuel 21:12-13 ***

  It's interesting that in the "Insight on the Scriptures" book they define lying as not telling the truth to someone who is "entitled" to it.

  Do you ever wish you were a Moron?

  is your bullsh*t meter always cranked up to overdrive these days?

  i'm a happy enough guy but i find i get somewhat irritated reading of the faith people have in their belief systems, even outside of the dubs.

  i'm not trying to be condecending with this post at all.

  No. I found that whole thing about Joseph Smith seeing Jesus stuff to be hard to believe. Plus... I'm not a big fan of the Osmonds.

  As JWs, ever met any annointed ?

  by greendawn in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in your time as jws did you ever meet any of the annointed?

  did they have good christian personalities and what did they think of the wts and its governing body ?

  i met one and he was very unhappy with the way the gb treated him and generally the way they run this society, he told me he wrote them two letters containing a long list of complaints with full scriptural support but he was ignored, first letter got a reply amounting to "no need to write to us" the second one no reply at all.

  i know many have rejected the idea of organized religion.

  i teeter on that myself.

  but i have toyed with hooking to a little country church with some friendly people to associate with.

  Would you contribute to expose the Watchtower?

  by nicolaou in

  2. suggestions

  jost tossing an idea about.

  would anyone be willing to make regular contributions to an 'exposure fund'?.

  it wouldn't be a 'fighting fund', we couldn't hope to compete against watchtower finances or its legal department in that way.

  Governing Body talk in Holland - GB decisions are Jehovah's decisions

  by truthseeker in

  it seems that few are aware of it, but the whole talk here is posted.. http://e-jehovahs-witnesses.com/viewtopic.php?t=2337&postdays=0&postorder=asc&&start=45.

  seems like holland is having problems with jw authority.. thought i'd paste a few comments from the board before pasting the talk, so you can get an idea of what is happening.... --------------------------.

  thanks for the update from holland.
