BOE letters re: 1975

by izobcenec in

were they any pre- or post-1975 boe letters with specific instructions about 1975?

or how to deal with dissapointed ones etc.

thanx, izzy

I don't know about a,"BOE," letter,but I was there in 1973..read the Watchtower in 1968 and was frazzled when nothing took place after 1976.So when 1975 came and went some of the brothers told me to check it out.They already knew I was a researcher in the field of theology so I went for broke.

I questioned everyone who could have answers for me.The Elders(commettee) talked to me twice on the issue.My magic trick was...I was never baptized...but my ex-wife was.

Since they couldn't answer me I began questioning on 1874,then 1914,1919,1925,1940,and about the big issue in the 70s was.....Christ the Mediator for the 144,000 only.{Prince of Peace,"book}Plus I knew families and I personally knew about a half dozen very old ones who were of the Anointed.

Also at the time I tried to contact Ray Franz and to my surprise,he was disfellowshipped.The Anointed..being disfellowshipped?Oh my!

Now days I'm,also,on ICQ.com and got a Witness to denie all of this......She said I was lying....lol,except for Franz............

The Holy Spirit

okay, i'm interested in what everybody thinks on this.

i believe that for the most parts all religions start off with a good motive, i.e., to provide a forum that will help people to serve god.

(basically).

RevFrank

That's the problem right there....Watchtower tells us to listen to them.Why I recall what Christ said about the Holy Spirit....."But the Helper,the Holy Spirit,whom the Father will send in My name,He will teach you all things,and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you."

John 14:26.

I rather listen to the Holy Spirit. Easy....

dear brothers and sisters,.

i martini, will confide in you that i have become a neutral jehovah's witness.

i wonder if i'm not coining a new phrase here!.

RevFrank

Wll Martini.....,

I could tell you pro and con on the Watchtower and in my opinion the cons out last the pros.....AS for knowing which way to go....Christ is my Mediator and I try my up most to listen to the Holy Spirit.

What are the WTBTS's biggest lies?

by outbutnotdown in

i've been out for about 10 years and, to be honest, i have begun to worry less and less about what that org.

but in eman's recent post, "you have one shot", sirona mentioned about all the lies that the wtbts have told.

i have read c of c, but my memory is fading on what some of the more blatant lies that i recall from that book and other articles.. just in case i have an encounter with a jw who may actually be considering leaving but wants more support/reasons to leave, can people help me by refreshing my memeory on the biggest lies that they have told, that would catch their attention the quickest?

Are Jehovah's Witnesses REALLY Welcomed Here?

by minimus in

jw
friends

in view of the fact that there are mostly ex-witnesses on this forum, the question is," are jw's truly welcomed here?".

it seems to me that if a poster supports the witnesses in any way, that they will know about it.

RevFrank

Remember people,it's the WT that we question........why take it out on people that have no idea what they believe?

The WT tells us one thing,yet we see that they believe in something else......Why punish the JWs when they have no more idea what to teach as the WT says............
