i've noted active, devoted jw's state the above.. and, it's not a problem for me to remain trusting of god, i just don't trust religions or men.. recently, a member of this forum stated that he remains an active jw, in the family of god's people, wanting to encourage and do good - whilst recognising that the pastoral leaders (the gb) have shipwrecked the faith of many, being unsound scripturally etc, etc.. stop and think about this - the bible says to not follow after those who lie and hurt the faith of "little ones".. the pharisees were accused of traversing over lands and expending much energy to make a single convert - only for that convert to end up worse of than he started off with.. it's one thing to not believe this is the 'truth' and feeling the awful pressure of managing ones life, trying not to lose ones family.. it's quite another thing to declare oneself to be a christian believer of god's jw household, and somehow believe the god of love would use corrupt liars to parade as jesus' brothers in the urgency of last days.

really?

and, to then visibly promote faith in corrupt men, and try to bring converts into a place where the rulership is wrong.. some of us are dying from hurt here.......give me a break..

All I can say is you are doing a lot of rationalizing to stay part of a delusional corporation run by a delusional faithful and bumbling slave.

July Kingdom Ministry

by CloseTheDoor in

the july 2015 kingdom ministry says jws can't do international outreach through the internet, but to instead, point someone in the direction of jw.org site.. it's just another form of control.

the individual publisher is forced to send the interested one to a website fully controlled by the borg.. .

They/GB still view the internet as the devils eye ball, and so all the caution about witnessing to "strangers" who just might be the enemy.

Where Does Jehovah Live?

by Wild_Thing in

when my niece was very little (over 20 years ago), barely walking or talking, my mother decided to teach her "where jehovah lives".

she would coach her and say, "where does jehovah live?

" in a sing-song voice.

Specific Comments By R&F About May Broadcast

by freemindfade in

i know there are many posts discussing the may money requesting televangalism...er... broadcast i mean!

but i wanted to start one where anyone can put what they have heard any non-exjw, non-apostate witnesses say good or bad about the broadcast.

i don't see how it can't rattle followers... but then again i might be surprised how they can twist things (2+2=5).

I think we are in just the beginning stages of money drive from the corporation it will only get worse from this point expect lots of begging for God from these guys as they try to keep God's earthly organization from going bankrupt.

Cappyt,

When I expressed some "concern and confusion" to my father about the telethon, he watched it, then came back and said, "I can see how you might feel that way. But it's not like they're doing this in every broadcast. If that starts to happen, I think then there would be reason to be concerned."

I'm sure they will become much more regular in the future as all these lawsuits payments become due and they try to balance the books, they will be forced to beg beg beg.

The present Governing Body will rule the U.S.A.

by John Aquila in

i havent gone to meetings in about 1 year and a half.

one of my neighbors who is a jw-lady told me that the co on the last visit said that its very likely that right after armageddon (which is just around the corner) the present governing body members will be in charge of the united states since they are familiar with the culture.

and that the apostles and early christians will be in charge of areas like china.

Caleb and Sophia get baptized ???

by jwleaks in

jw
friends

not yet.. however, over the past few weeks two members of the governing body have given talks encouraging young children to get baptized.. gerrit losch - france.

mark sanderson - germany.

if the reports are correct then the governing body of jehovah's witnesses are preparing jw parents to accept their young children getting baptized.no doubt, soon, very soon, a caleb and sophia cartoon will appear in which child baptism will be promoted and encouraged.

Brokeback Watchtower

If they have them get baptized they also should have a DF'n sequel one year later and have the parents obeying the GB as far as shunning their own children. This would show the sad reality of those who give everything to the Corporation sic Jehovah's earthly organization..
