Change of mindset.

by thedog1 in

jw
friends

i have been a witness for a long time and still serve as an elder.

there have been a lot of changes to deal with in the last six months or so since i stumbled on this site due to questions i had about all the recent changes in understanding published in the wt.

many posters here talk about a cult personality and a real personality.

I was still serving as an elder when I had my awakening! For years I used the 'position' to bring reasonableness to the BOE on matters of df'ing and other things. I finally could no longer give talks and meeting parts that espoused the view of the WTBTS/GB and resigned. The body was shocked and disappointed since I was a long standing elder /jw. God did it feel good to rid myself of the hipocracy and bs. Life now seems real. It was not easy but then is anything worthwhile ever easy?

Do you think marrying an unbeliever could be a disfellowshipping offense in the future?

by loading in

any thoughts?.

eyeuse2badub

In dubland, one can be df'ed for smoking which is not mentioned in the bible, df'ed for taking a blood transfusion--which is not mentioned in the bible but not df'ed for marrying an unbeliever which is specifically mentioned in the bible as a n- no for christians. Go figure! LOL

Another earthquake and possible tsunami. " the end must be close!"

by stuckinarut2 in

so we have heard of an earthquake today, and possible tsunami...and immediately i am told.

" well we must be close".

it is as if the witnesses are so happy that another tragedy has occurred!

According to the WTBTS, big J has been resting from all his creation work for the past 6 or 7 thousand years. He'll fix all the earthquake, tsunami, hurricane, etc. problems just as soon as 'break time' is over. Soooooooooooooooon!

Wa State Mudslide - Witness saved by being away at Circ. Ass.

by tresdecu in

friends

i heard something through the grapevine...was curious if it was an 'official view' long story short, it was stated (??

) that a jw would have been killed had she stayed home and not gone to a ca.

(in washington state) has anyone else heard about this?

eyeuse2badub

How about the JW's that were killed in the mudslide? They should have been at the CA also I guess.

A few years ago I had a mild nerveous 'breakdown'. I was having suicidal thoughts and really struggling with stress and depression. I checked myself into a mental health facility for 3 weeks. During my time there I received needed help from a psychiatrist and a mental health counselor. It was nice to be able to finally talk about how I really felt and believed. It was liberating! The psychiatrist helped me see that I was suffering big time from cognative dissonance. My brain was at war with reality. Now that I have fully embraced ttatt, I'm fine and have a real outlook about life. The "pain was worth the gain"

Different Vibe in hall since new understanding of Faithful slave

by Clambake in

has any noticed a different vibe in the kingdom hall since the new understand of the faithful and discreet slave .

when my wife forces me to go once and while and like to say i wonder what the slave will be this week .

man it pisses her off but she has been hardly actively since the new light.

The faithful are waiting for the next shoe to fall. Those that have been around for a while know that the stuff the GB/WTBTS are now teaching is just a cover up for failed predictions and expectations from the past. So by throwing out a' mind bender', nu-lite every so often there is a period of total distraction to keep the rank and file busy trying to keep up with the new stuff. It gives them something to talk about. imho.

Voices The Governing Body Listen to (Jehovah The Corporation Sock Puppet Included)

by frankiespeakin in

how do the governing body hear the voice of jehovah their corporation sock puppet?

how do they know jehovah's moods?

sad, indifferent, joyious, melancholy, pensive and so forth?

eyeuse2badub

I always wondered, if big J is guiding the thinking of the GB/WTBTS, then why don't they all automatically and simultaneously receive the same information at the same time? Why would they need to 'vote' or have a majority to approve or change dogma? Now that I know WHY, I don't wonder any longer.

"The truth will set you free"

Memorial 2014: Wrong date?

by AnnOMaly in

this was meant to have nice inserted pictures and tidy hyperlinks but the forum's being glitchy today.

so unfortunately it's going to be a messy post where you're going to have to exercise your tapping fingers and click on the links to the pics to see what i'm referring to.

sorry about that.. in the article recently studied "do this in remembrance of me" (w13 12/15), there is a box on p. 23 giving the date of this year's memorial and how that date is arrived at.. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2013926.

eyeuse2badub

Really, when Jesus said to "keep doing this", he didn't say when to do it. The WTBTS makes such a big deal out of the DATE like it really matters.

by Jeannette in

have a happy day friends, and don't get fooled.

.

eyeuse2badub

Hasn't the WTBTS been the doing the "April Fool's" thing now for about 100 years? Being a gung ho JW is like April Fool's day everyday or is it just me?
