  1969 "fact": You will never grow old in this present system of things

  by Ding in

  awake!

  "if you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things.

  because all the evidence in fulfillment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years... therefore, as a young person, you will never fulfill any career that this system offers.

  Insulting people, make 'em mad as hell, when they attack just start whining that you're under persecution - proving you are doing God's will.

  Ring doorbells on Christmas morning, deliberately and with aforethought ruin people's holiday. When they bluntly tell you to leave their property as you are not welcome, triumphantly announce to the car group that you just made Jehovah so happy because you have been persecuted.

  IT IS INSANITY

  pedophiles knocking .

  in a nutshell, it points out why the general public should be leery of jehovahs witnesses knocking at the front door.

  my article is titled pedophiles knocking and is available at: http://marvinshilmer.blogspot.com/2013/07/pedophiles-knocking.html.

  Pedophiles RUIN many generations of lives! If there was NOTHING else to hold against WT (and there is plenty!), the fact that they allow KNOWN pedophiles to go out in the field service would be more than enough to prove to me there is no way this organization could be the Creator of the Universe's approved visible organization!

  I don't want to talk face to face with a person like that! But those GB men want to FORCE them on people! They have GOT to be out of their minds! because it's insanity.

  How Do You Know If You Are "Marked"?

  by Thoughtless in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  yeah, this has been a question that has been on my mind for a while, but how do one know if he has been "marked" by the congregation?

  do they announce it?

  i have expressed doubt last year about the org, but i still have responsibilities within the kh.

  Hi Thoughtless (really Thoughtful),

  That is a great question, which i am looking forward to hearing the answer from someone who understands Marking, because i NEVER did!

  ONE time i heard a talk and everyone said, That is a marking talk. During the talk no name was mentioned. You were just supposed to KNOW who was being referred to. And if you DIDN'T know, nobody was supposed to tell you. That's the explanation i got when i was asking questions trying to understand what i should be doing if someone was marked.

  new FDS teaching

  by inbetween in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  with the study of the new teaching of july 15th wt, which will be done in septmember 2013 in sight, i try to collect all kind of objections from here and other sites, in order to have enough ammunition for discussions ready.. wih this in mind, i found an additional problemwith this new teaching.. since before 1918/19 there was no fds, ergo no channel of truth, ergo no true worship, and russel and his fellows just some "normal" folks, what about all those, who were baptized prior to 1918 ?

  like freddie franz, rutherford etc, there baptism was therefore not valid, just like jw view baptisms of former catholics, protestants etc not valid and baptize them again.. ho can they be annointed, when they were not properly dunked ?

  just show, with their new teaching, the fds cut the very branch they are sitting on.. .

  Thanks, Ding!

  I said "selfish zombie" because for years i was aware of situations where people were treated unfairly and talked about and picked on and I ignored it all. There were so many red flags that i just totally ignored, that were enough to prove the whole mess could not be God's Organization on Earth! But it wasn't until i was attacked myself, did i pay attention.

  Looking back because of this thread. Quite a few years the emphasis was on respecting Jehovah's representatives, and the Korah vs Moses was the big illustration for months. Before that the constant pounding was loyalty to Jehovah. Before that what i heard was that I represented Jehovah so I should live everyday with that in mind, so as not to bring reproach on Jehovah.

  But then they went from Watch Out That You're Not Buried Alive Like Korah For Disrespecting Jehovah's Representatives, Including the Elders, to emphasizing the faithful and discreet slave is who you are answering to, INSTEAD of Jehovah.

  But i never really noticed until now, which is why i am spending so much time on this excellent website.

  I was in a glazed over daze, in shock from realizing that thirty years of supporting a religion were rendered meaningless when two people decided to destroy my reputation. All they had to do was tell lies about me and my family in the congregation and facebook, and POOF, every single "friend" believed them and have not spoken to me since.

  It was my awakening and I'm grateful. I've seen a comment similar recently, that many do not awake until they are personally treated badly. I freely admit I was one of those selfish zombies.

  Elders Ordered to Give Evidence in Sex Scandal Trial

  by jw07 in

  2. child-abuse

  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2365992/gordon-leighton-child-abuse-trial-orders-jehovahs-witness-leaders-evidence.html.

  church elders refused to comment on a child abuse scandal because they had a 'duty to god' to keep the sex attacker's confession a secret, a court heard.. jehovah witness ministerial servant gordon leighton admitted sexually abusing a child when he was confronted with allegations before elders at his church,newcastle crown court heard.. but during the official police investigation the 53-year-old, who hit the headlines in the 1990s when his wife yvonne, 28, died after refusing a blood transfusion after childbirth on religious grounds, denied any illegal wrongdoing.. when detectives asked elders simon preyser, harry logan and david scott to make statements about the confession, all three refused and said what they had heard was confidential.. the elders knew about the admissions for three years, but refused to cooperate with the criminal investigation, the court heard.. .

  the trio kept that stance when the case was brought before newcastle crown court.

  !Thank you, Think About It, for saying this:

  I left mainly because, by this time in my JW experience it became apparent to me that with all the Governing Body worship that had started, all the peculiar people & disfunctional families in the JW religion, how JW's acted & treated people, along with all the kooky JW rules & beliefs.....that there was no way this JW religion could be God's only true religion on earth.

  Each of those things you listed, could have come from MY list. Also i came to the exact same conclusion.

  The very last time I was out in fs, I remember so well. A young woman with lots of energy and little commonsense, bullied me into going in her vehicle instead of agreeing to go in my car. As she drove she tried to read the territory card, as a result scared the crap out of me. I mean, side to side across the lane, hitting the brake suddenly in front of traffic, then speeding up, etc. I have been with people like that many times in service and it seems like they think they own the road and don't have to consider other cars on the road, because when you're out in God's service you're so much more important than anyone else.

  But also for years I heard about how we were supposed to be humble and put others ahead of ourselves. And that's just one contradiction in millions.
