JWrobot, of course you're not allowed to tell the truth! You have to be evasive, and use speculation. At the least you should have given the wrong numbers! Then you could have made a back-call, or return visit, or whatever they call it now, and told your relatives that there's been "new light".

Do you know?
by Schizm ina certain jw doesn't believe in the 1914 doctrine any longer.
this, of course, naturally gives rise to certain serious problems.
for example, how can this person now continue to participate in field service activities and make use of the publications produced by the wts?

Yes, they didn't want Jesus to have a beard because then the elders wouldn't be able to tell the brothers that they couldn't wear beards, at a time when beards became fashionable in the 60's and onward. How could they tell bearded brothers they looked worldly if Jesus had a beard. But then "new light".... presto, Jesus has a beard! Does anyone know if brothers with beards can be MS's or Elders now? Or is that another "new light" waiting to dawn?
Does anyone remember the furor over brothers wearing coloured shirts? It seems they got the "new light" on that, but the Mormons are still looking for it.

You'll die if you don't go to meetings
by Bonnie_Clyde inlast sunday's watchtower admits (p. 17) that "we are not under the mosaic law.
" but in the next paragraph it says that just as the tithing arrangement was not optional for the israelites, meeting attendance is also not optional for christians.
the first page of the february 2004 kingdom ministry tells us why.

Yes, Shamus, I used to think they were worse than dead because they would have no resurrection! Talk about Judge Lollydawdle!!! No more sitting on the bench for me! Someday I hope to sit around the Throne!

Amen to that Worldlygirl. Maverick, they haven't taken out the Holy Spirit in the baptism talk, but they have definitely added the WTS. Tsk, tsk, tsk. The GB must be behind in their Bible reading of Revelation where it says that nothing should be added or taken away.
Yes, Undercover, the GB's like the Pharisees.

I Like Huxley's suggestion - tract origami for beginners!
I thought this might be a serious thread. For anyone else who also thought so - taking classes in anything that interests you will help improve social skills. It's a starting point in making friends with those who have the same interests.

) a super-dub sits two desks away from (she and her husband knew ray and his wife, had tea with them in their room when he was on the gb, etc.

Joker: I don't get on here much, but when I saw the topic I knew I had to reply. You really do owe it to yourself to read CofC. I have been an inactive JW since 1995, not df'd or disassociated. I saw a copy at my friend Grace's house many years ago when I was still a JW. I was petrified to even look at the cover. Scared that something bad would happen to me for even looking at the cover of a book written by someone I was told was an 'apostate'. Having been inactive all these years, I finally felt "safe" to look into it. Grace kindly sent me a copy as a gift. I read it in secret as my son (JW) lives with me and I was afraid he would see it. I couldn't put it down. It is so well written and so honestly written, that I was compelled to believe it. Since reading it, I want my children to come out of the WT. I was a JW for 30 years and raised my children as JW's. It was a terrible mistake for me not to have examined the origins of the organization before I became a baptized witness. It has cost me 30 years of my life, but also my children's lives as well, to find out that the WT is a big lie. My children are still in. I never thought to examine the organization because I believed everything they told me - because I wanted to believe it. It seemed reasonable. Why would they lie to me? It never occurred to me that they would. Since reading the book and finding out the real truth, I would love to share it with my adult children in the hopes that it would set them free from the great lie. I urge you to read it, and then make up your own mind as to whether Ray Franz speaks the truth or not. PLEASE!!!!!
