Lets get real and heal, and give some space to those that are trying to do both

by AllTimeJeff in

jw
friends

i didn't mean being real and trying to heal to rhyme, but essentially, that's why people come here.

and depending on where we are, we need space.

when you leave, one thing you will learn, quickly or otherwise, is what is reality.

It is OFFICIAL they want MORE MONEY : NEW ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

by raymond frantz in

i just came back from the meeting .although the local announcements have been abolished recently as an item for the second part , an elder came on the platform to announce that the society needs more money and there is a letter on the noticeboard for all the congragation to read to this effect.

although the announcement was read half heartedly (this elder's daughter is an apostate ,it looks like he knows what's going on) the implictions are dramatic .

the society in brief,requests any brother or sister with funds sitting on personal accounts to loan them to the society ,he didn't go into any specifics but i will take a picture of the letter next time and make it available here .. i'm not amazed that they're asking for money ,i thought it will happen sooner or later .what i'm amazed is that 99% of the congragation are oblivious to the financial crisis that the society finds itself these days and the reasons why .i can see the future now .the watchtower will be the fist part of the babylon the great to go down in a blaze of scandals and financial troubles !.

They can scream and demand all they want but the waters are drying up. The generation that gave the most financially is dwindling. The new generation doesn't have any extra disposible cash to give to the society.

Greetings! From an Existent JW!

by Ethos in

jw
friends

i'd like extend a greeting to all members of jwn.

i've been a lurking by-stander of this forum for approximately 6 months.

i think this forum's best moments can be attributed to the involvement of actual jw's in doctrinaire discussions and to heated (though not always dialectic) debates.

Nice to meet you Ethos.

I an intrigued by your comments and look forward to your thoughts. I do feel As Loubelle that after much reading, there is no need to prove anything, unless of course you are trying to prove something to yourself.

As to suggestions for what you should read---Start with The faithful and discreet slave. Enter the term in the search engine and start reading. You will be amazed at the wealth of information from educated members of this board.

I do want to commend you for bucking the organizational trend and coming to place such as JWD.

Tell me if this is a stupid idea.

by DATA-DOG in

you know how you sometimes you are going about your day and then an idea hits you?

you say to yourself, " what a great idea!!".

then you think to yourself that maybe it isn't so great?

wannaexit

Glad you aborted your mission.

I have a number of letters in a drawer that I wrote in th early days of my "awakening". Sometimes I have these imaginary dialogues between me and some elder. Then I get back to reality and do nothing. Why? because as most have said it accomplishes nothing with these people. You might as well tell it to the door.

i have started my da letter !

by unstopableravens in

i have wrote six pages so far it seems the more i write the more i have to say .i have many mixed thoughts its frustrating to have to go this.

i wish i could just fade but that is not possable.

how long were your letters?.

wannaexit

Six pages Hhmmmmm mm. It probably very therapeutic to write everything down. I don't suggest that you give the elders such a long letter. Most have a brain the size of a pea.

No angelic protection for 20+ Jehovah's Witnesses on way to Convention. All dead.....

by Balaamsass in

from nigerian newspaper via google alert a few minutes ago;.

entire family, 20 others die in fatal accidenttragedy struck weekend in akwa ibom state as a man, his wife and all their children, as well as more than 20 others, all members of the jehovahs witness church, perished in a fatal road accident which occurred, friday, along the utu etim ekpo road in etim ekpo local government area of the state.. forty other members of the church sustained varying degrees of injuries following in the crash which occurred on their way to the jehovahs witness annual convention ground in ikot ekpene local government area of the state.. thisdays gathered that more than 70 members of the church had hired a lorry to convey them from ukanafun local government area to ikot ekpene for the annual district convention which began on friday and billed to end today (sunday) but the journey ended half way with many members of the church dying on the road in the accident.. eyewitnesses alleged that the driver of the lorry conveying the church members to the venue of the convention lost control of the vehicle when he got to utu etim ekpo, the junction opposite the local government secretariat, and hit the stone used to construct the roundabout, thus resulting in the lorry somersaulting, leaving many of its passengers and others wounded.. the corpses and those injured in the accident were said to have been taken to neighbouring hospitals and mortuaries.. one of the eyewitnesses, mr. friday john, said the people who died may have been more than what was seen because a whole family including parents and their children were all trapped in the accident.. we were all here discussing when suddenly the lorry appeared and was looking like the driver had lost control of it.

then the lorry drove straight and hit the stone and somersaulted into the gutter.. many people died, more than 18. in fact, we couldnt count the number because there were many corpses, including husband, wife and children and they were all taken to the mortuary in various hospitals near etim ekpo here, john explained.. in another narration, a secondary school teacher in eka uruk eshiet etim ekpo, mr. ndipmo nkanta, said the lorry boarded by the deceased and the injured passengers was not meant for passengers but goods only.. he blamed the accident on poverty , arguing that if there was a better alternative, such casualties wouldnt have been recorded, especially as they were going to worship god.. the public relations officer of the federal road safety corps, frsc, in the state, mr. godsgift uwen, blamed the incident on over-speeding and overloading by the driver of the lorry.. he said the lorry was not supposed to carry any passenger as it was a meant for goods only but the driver stubbornly used it as a passengers vehicle, which led to the sad incident.. he advised against rush and drunken driving, especially in the yuletide, noting that these are some of the major causes of accidents on the roads.. culled from thisday".
