jesus says in matthew 11:28-30 "come to me, all you who are toiling and loaded down, and i will refresh you.

29 take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for i am mild-tempered and lowly in heart, and you will find refreshment for your souls.

30 for my yoke is kindly and my load is light.?

That just about sums it up. I also wanted to add your own personal studying. If you are good dub Monday night you are going to be studying your watchtower. Wednesday night you study for the school and service meeting and they you have to fit studying for the book study. Friday night you need to go over the field service presentation.

And I forgot you have to find time to read the daily text and possibly read the whole Bible chapter and the watchtower article that its based on.

It's a treadmill that never allows you off.

Just thinking about it makes me choke.

Comments You Will Not Hear at the 3-6-05 WT Study (Abbreviated)

On Paragraph 9 it that:

Jesus lived and died for the Kingdom

How good of them to say this. The governing body says they are the remnant of that kingdom. So in reality they are saying that Jesus lived and died for them. They have supplanted the position of the King and put the kingdom ahead. Jesus is now secondary to the kingdom.

The blaspheme never ceases to amaze me.

Thanks Blondie for the review

.

my brother called me today.he is 20 ,3 years younger than me,and out of the religion.he still has fear though that it could be true,but thats another story.. he told me he heard my mother and father talking upstairs.my mother said about the org "ive put 26 years into it,i think i'm done with it,i might just go sunday from now on".this is huge ,because she was a devoted nutjob witness.she made my life horrible for the 1st 17 years of my life.i had been trying to suddly tell her the truth about the troof,but i didn't expect this.i'm happy and yet i want to know where she stands with the borganization.. this along with what seems to be an outpouring of similar stories,i have a gut feeling the jehovahs witness mind control cult is on the brink of implosion.everyone is so burdened by it.the jig is up,gb,good riddance when you fold.the rank and file have had enough.my 2 younger sisters are on the edge of mental freedom.i hope they can fully get free of it.. this is a milestone in my families long and strange trip in mental enslavement!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is a certain malaise amongst some of the older jws.

How would a JW handle this? 587 proved correct date for fall of Jerusalem

by confusedjw in

so i put it out to you who believe the wtbts is the agent used by god's channel on earth based on the belief that in 1919 (3 1/2 years after the gentile times ended in 1914, per pastor russell) they were appointed the fds.. what if it was proved that not 607, but 587 was the date jerusalem was destroyed?

would that affect your faith?

would it matter that the teaching of 1919 turned out to be false?

had this conversation with a family member

Response: We trust what the faithful and discreet says.

What Bethel Taught Me About SuperRighteous People

by metatron in

in it's own harsh way, bethel taught me some vital lessons about life.

work hard,.

play hard, drink hard and don't trust the goons in charge.. one of the scenarios that would replay itself over and over again concerned a subclass.

wannaexit

Know

any super righteous Witnesses? Keep in mind that they are often the ones most
vunerable to 'fall out of the truth' scandalously and suddenly. Brother HyperLoyal runs off
with the female Bible Study half his age and stuns everybody. Meanwhile, you and I
just ......quietly........ fade ......... away.......

Metatron,

You are so right. I have seen this over and over again in my 35 years of association

'Enemies' by J.F. Rutherford

by Pleasuredome in

theres a book on ebay called 'enemies' by j.f.

rutherford.

ive never heard of this book before, does anyone know anything about it?

wannaexit

I have this book.

This is what the forward has to say:

The proof that definitely identifies all enemies, exposes their methods of operation, and points out the way of complete protection for those who love righteousness.

Also there is one page written in Rutherfords handwriting and signed by him. This wis what it says:

TO HIS SERVANTS:

The time for Jehovah's war is here, and he commands those who love him to "arise against her in battle". To maintain our integrity we must obey his mandate. To be equipped for the war we must intelligently identify the enemy, learn his methods of attack and how we may protect ourselves. Jehovah provides the means of gaining that neede information.

The part that God's people perform in the war is to proclaim his judgement of Vengeance soon to be executed and also to inform the oeople of the only means of escape safely and thereby comfort those that mourn. If you are devoted to Jehovah and his Kingdom you will do your part.

Armed in the holy Cause of righteousness, equipped with the sword of the spirit, and instructed in the proper use thereof, and filled with wisdom and spiritual understanding. GO FORTH TO THE WAR, fully confident of victory through Christ Jesus our lord and Jehovah's vindicator.

Your Brother and Servant by his grace

How is your congregation doing financially?

by truthseeker in

jw
friends

if you still go to the meetings - look at the notice board where they have the accounts report.. is there a deficit?.

our cong wanted to build a new hall (they share), but they cannot raise the funds to do this.

did your cong pay bills on time, i.e.

wannaexit

The cong I attend is keeping above water. But there is a lot of old money. The cong is made up of many seniors who generously put in money every week. Once these die off, the situation will be much different.
