"don't plan for retirement by saving any money for it, because you won't need it."

boy have we seen a lot of the older ones still having to work to make those car payments that take them out in service.

help what bookstudy book are we in?

by lostandnotfound in

i am new here and i usually dont come to these type of places as they are rampant with apostates.

i still belive in most of the teachings but its the people in the org.

that have turned me away.. the reason that i am posting though is this, i have been inactive for a few months now but i have been holding out telling my parents, friends etc.

BadJerry

Well said Farkel !

How many people did Jesus turn away who came to him? Why can an organization who claims to exclusively represent Jesus get away with doing something Jesus would never even consider doing?

Hi lost, I think a good book for you to read is from Ray Franz, Crisis of Conscience, it gives an insight as to someone who's been on every level of the WTS, you can order it at www.commentarypress.com . a real .

So many of the WTS books gloat over the fact of what archealogists find and what historians know that they think they already know. ok, but they dismiss historians dating the fall of Babylon to 587 and not 607. why? because it throws off their 1914 date which is crucial to their believes and teachings.

for a sidenote we DA'd last Aug. another place to check out is www.silentlambs.org

Did I turn my back on Jehovah's True Organization?

by sandy in

i was wondering as i have been lately; did i turn my back on god and am i wrong for turning my back on the organization?.

are there any of you out there that feel like you have a real personal relationship with god with or without religion in your life?

do you still call god jehovah?

BadJerry

Berylblue, the 2/3 vote?

in crisis of conscience there is a chapter on how the GB arrives at it's decisions it's by a 2/3 vote. I do believe it's also in Ray's In Search of Christian Freedom. a lot of politics are played at the table and favoritism is shown, little scriptural research is done on a matter.

reading the context of the scripture they site as to shunning it was to be a matter of personal conscience to whether an individual does this or not. Having true love does not involve turning your emotions on or off when one follows a man made decree. Being in the borg and following their laws, It's as if there is a subtle erosion, little by little one relinquishing to others his God-given right to exercise his own conscience, to do his own thinking.

The Prodigal One That Never Went Back...

by Valis in

jw
friends

this is the tale of a young man that had a bright future as a cellist..he was only sixteen and things were looking bright if not for the very one that was supposed to be the head of the household.

we'll call him jack...short for jackass btw.

jack was a violent man, living and conducting himself as an upstanding jw in the eyes of the congregation...he beat his wife, married his 16 year old daughter off to some cretin, mistreated his other daughter, and finally took much aggression out on his sons...well jack did a real good job of beating the hope out of the prodigal one...he gave up playing cello and ran away from home to join the navy during vietnam...the rest of his life was hard and being rather tall, even for a prodigal one, his body got tired after a hard life...congenital lung disease, several bad motorcycle wrecks/suicide attempts imo, he's dying now..on a respirator...to complicate things, his wife of more than 15 years died today of congestive heart failure and complications from open heart surgery....you see, he never went home because there is not one to go back to...his mother died of cancer , jack left his first family and moved on to abuse two others while remaining a jw (not one now as far as i know) and has not been heard from for years.

Sandy, I use to think this was God's organization until I saw the cover up with the pedophile issue and logged on to silentlambs .org

I use to think this was God's organization until I read Crisis of Conscience by Ray Franz in which thousands have died because of organizational decrees.

I use to think this was God's organization until I read and heard of how families are torn apart from the shunning issue, again being an organizational decree decided by a 2/3 vote. could you imagine Jesus ever shunning someone?

How could God approve of such disgusting things that go on with in.

remember Revelation: get out of her my people, that could very well apply to them.

I do pray, but I don't use the name Jehovah, simply because I could be misprouncing it. I pray through Jesus. He said anyone excersising faith in me will have everlasting life, I don't think it takes a man made organization to do that. Look at Abraham did he have such an organization?

i just want to add one more thing Jerry was going to do a talk right before we left last year when he dug up this information about the gov. body it confirmed his feelings. its from the WT 3/1/79 page 23 which states:

however, it must be observed that this "faithful and discreet slave" was Never inspired, never perfect. Those writings by certain members of the "slave" class that came to form the Christian part of God's word were inspired and infallible, but that is Not True of other writings since.

meaning they have no more spiritual insight on them than you or I.

The US is not happy with us

by JH in

jw
friends

since the canadians didn't vote to support the us against iraq, i heard on the radio that the us is not too happy with canada, especially quebec, where i live.

in montreal 200,000 people took to the streets last week to protest against the war in iraq.. trade between canada and the us could be hurt because of this.

do you place canada in the same category as france and germany, since we are against the war?.

BadJerry

Don't heel too bad...took a poll at work (a multi-national workforce) and Canada was unanimously considered the least disliked country in the world. Hope that cheers you up. Oh, and since the U.S. is still supposed to be a Democratic Republic, and I don't remember anyone asking my opinion on the matter, overall, I believe we still like you. Anyway, where else would we get good beer?????????

This is the "BadJerry"!
