  Need the hardest evidence possible that humans have lived for more than 6000 years

  by ILoveTTATT2 in

  2. friends

  since coming out of the witnesses, i have gone through a transformation in thought and in mind.

  i started with the usual: i thought that jesus was god.

  then i investigated more about the bible and thought that the bible was not true, given the many contradictions, failed prophecies, etc.. then i investigated evolution and read lots and now i accept evolution and natural selection as things that are true.. now, i need to make my dad rethink everything.

  If there is a god or not we do not know.

  But we know that mankind is far older than 6000 years.

  I think that is a great answer he gave.

  It shows that he has a lot of respect for you.

  Check and research "Chauvet Cave" and especially "Cosquer Cave."

  "Cosquer Cave" has excellent proof, that not even JWs are able to refute. The only cave entrance is 41 metres below sea surface. So the people painting must have entered, as the sea level was much lower than today. This is a proof, that they could enter only during the ice ages much more than 6000 years ago when the sea level was more than 100 metres lower than today.

  Ron de Rooy - will he review his performance at the RC?

  simply amazing to watch.

  the restraint shown by the judge and lawyer is breath-taking.

  i'm sure they would like to pummel these idiots with a sledge-hammer, but they choose words instead.

  All they can say to delicate questions: "I don't recall."

  Are they all suffering from Alzheimer's disease?

  last week we had the cos visit and i wanted to share my experiences with you.

  some background info on me, i knowttatt and am fully awake, my wife also knows my doubts and read a few things on the internet but she is still 100% commited to the truth, saying everything on the apostate sites are lies.

  so right now i am in just to keep the status quo.

  Wow... just wow.

  I think this substitute co (will probably be your next co) is worried or cares about the truth of the abuse cases.

  He no doubt will follow the royal commission infos.

  This is a good way in order for you to gently point your wife to the royal commission facts. They can open eyes, wake jws up without a word.

  Did the Governing Body sucessfully fend off this bad news on thier TV Broadcast??

  by Wasanelder Once in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  remember there was a talk about not listening to "false stories" about sexual abuse from apostates on jw's fantasy station?

  did the governing body put it out there as preemptive damage control because they knew this was coming?

  they must have had subpoenas giving them a heads up.

  Of course they knew about it. That was the only reason AM3 spoke in the broadcast of this month about child abuse.

  I am sure though they didn't expect it to go viral around the world with every big media station reporting about it.

  THE GREAT TRIBULATION STARTED; but only for this organisation.

  Family Reuinion and Being Disfellowshipped (sorry...but it's long)

  by babygirl30 in

  it has been a long looong time since i posted on here, but never ceased reading all the posts and keeping up on the changes that have been going on!

  but it just seems that now i have a need to get something off my chest, and this is the one place that will most definitely understand the topic at hand.

  i have been disfellowshipped for about 8yrs now, and have dealt with the 'consequences' of that decision: all my so-called friends in the org left and i was also abandoned by my own family.

  You are very courageous.

  Maybe try to think of your parents as victims of this indoctrination. Maybe this would help not to be angry.

  Demoted from elder to MS, anybody ever heard of this?

  by Naoscillator in

  so a friend in a nearby hall told me their co came through, and in a hellish week of long meetings and inquisition overhauled the boe.

  only one remains as elder, three were re-appointed as ms, and one, the cobe was deleted entirely.. two new elders were brought in as new secretary and cobe / watchtower conductor, respectively, and introduced to the congregation from the platform on sunday immediately following his second talk.

  he reminded everybody of the authority he has and then named the new appointees.

  When I stepped back as an elder (reason doubts) the Cobe first wanted that I continue serving as a MS.

  I told him that my doubts are too strong. After debating, the boe accepted my stepping back.

  I think the question is not if it is in US branch or not. The rules are the same for all branches.

  If the co thinks that those elders are better in their positions as ms, he can suggest that to the branch, or maybe just decide it for himself
