The Last BOE!

by Atlantis in

this is the last boe we will be able to provide.

our informant or source, was caught, disfellowshipped, and thrown out of bethel.

we knew that sooner or later the watchtower would find him out.

i'll add my appreciation for this source. But I am sure glad is is out. His life is just beginning.

What is the biggest regret or source of resentment because of being a Jehovahs Witness?

by stuckinarut2 in

i'm sure we could all write long paragraphs about this question, but in a few words, what is your biggest regret, or frustration in life due to being a witness?.

what missed opportunities did it cost you?

.

For me the biggest regret is not pursuing a higher education in my early years. I also regret having sacrificed the best years of my life to the pioneer altar.

"That Man" is the Judge

by Perry in

because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained - acts 17:31. .

in all my years of field service (started doing my own presentations at the doors at age 5) it never dawned on me that jesus was the one who was going to judge mankind, not me and my wt literature.

i was told that i was involved in a marking work (the writers inkhorn was taking notes).. .

So true. I can remember my dad writing the word "goat" next to numbers that didin't accept the "message". When I think about I am ashamed.

I NEVER Hear A JW Talk About Never Dying & Living Forever In Paradise Anymore!

by minimus in

jw

i was raised with this belief, that we would never die and actually make it into the "new system".

mu faithful jw aunt still talked about my mother (her sister) and her walking together into the great tribulation--- and never die at all!

she spoke of that 2 days before she passed away.. i believe most witnesses expect to die and then get resurrected.

You are right Minimus the JW's don't talk about it as they did in years prior to 2000. No one wants to admit it and verbalize it but deep inside many no doubt have lost hope of walking across to the new order.

My own father, after a lifetime in this organization has come to the realization that he is not going to make it. Living forever has become a haze for many of them. So bad so sad

My Mom is in the hospital

by JeffT in

my mother broke her hip last week.

she had an emergency partial replacement surgery friday night.

we don't know how she did it as we have caregivers with her at all times, she may have fallen while in the bathroom for a few minutes.

wannaexit

Sorry to hear JeffT. At such advanced age she may have lots stacked against her. It is very hard to watch our parents age and weaken. I am dealing with similar situation right now. I feel helpless as I watch my parents deteriorate. Keep strong and I hope your mom pulls through.

Hoser and Baldeagle:

I'm glad I am not the only one that thinks Wayne Johnson to be a real piece of work. --so deluded and full of himself. A genuine human peacock. I have heard through the grapevines that he has been or was ill for a time.----- He wont be getting a "get well" card for me any time soon.

Ancientofdays: I've also wondered about the italian letterhead and wondered what is up for that. I know for a fact that there are many capable translators at Via della Bufalotta and around . But then again Anthony Morris the third showed the world that the only thing Italians were known for was tight pants.

Will firing the DOs be the first step to a new Watchtower?

by Juan Viejo2 in

against my better judgement, i've decided to share the following as a response to guy pierce passing and the announcement of the elimination of district overseers later this year.. late in january (2014) i got an email from one of my contacts (a fader) who served at bethel for several years, but is no longer at wt hq.

he still has a lot of close contacts within the service department and in other departments at patterson and knows people in all of the ny offices.

i kept this email set aside on a flash drive and haven't shared it with anyone - figuring i'd publish an article about it later this year when i had more time to do it right.

Very interesting and very credible. Thanks for sharing
