  If you are thinking about "Stepping Down" you better do it QUICK!

  by Comatose in

  the new arrangement for co's to handle deletions (and appointments) means you no longer will be able to give your friends on the body an excuse and step down.

  you will have to answer to the co and most likely have a long uncomfortable chat about everything with him in order to step down.

  so if you have been thinking about stepping down, you need to do it quick before the new arrangement..

  As I stepped down I wrote a letter with my doubts to the COBE and that I want to resign. They tried to change my mind, as I did a lot of work and if I resigned they would have to do it.

  As the CO came a few weeks later, he talked about 1 hour with me about my doubts and resignation and he had to accept it.

  After that talk I went outside, breathed deeply and felt so happy as a huge wheight was off my chest.

  I think that new arrangement is not such a big change. Before it was the CO who wrote to tge branch that brother xx should be appointed as elder. Now he probably can do that just without waiting for the branch or governing body nodding their heads.

  i consider myself a christian.

  seriously did not even think that jw was that much different...but now i know better and it has my mind spinning.

  i have stopped answering questions, say my own prayers to god at the meetings, and plastr on a fake smile.

  You were very courageous.

  Your husband now knows about your true feelings. That's good especially as you will have surgery.

  I would advice you to be slow to address more things to him. Just let it sink down to him. Do not overwhelm him.

  I wish you and your husband all the best.

  I read most of your posts during the past months. I was feeling for you. You are very kind, courageous and an absolutely amazing son, who truly loves dad and mum.

  There were just too many obstacles in your fading journey.

  Even with this outcome life will be great for you. I wish you from my heart all the best and think positive.

  I am not going for JC!

  by exWTslave in

  2. beliefs

  this morning two elders visited me and said this years memorial day is on april 14, and we are informing you well in advance so that you can arrange your affairs and attend.

  [i had given them the impression that i am very busy due to my secular assignments, hence most of the time out of station.].

  then i thought two elders visiting me cannot have an ordinary purpose, and i should give them a piece of my mind.

  Hi exwtslave

  Welcome Nice to have you here.

  You showed courage to talk openly about your thoughts.

  I think they won't make a jc. First they will come back with some answers or Watchtower articles to teach you about the ransom doctrine. They will try to change your thoughts and opinions, as it is their duty to help those having doubts. When they sense that you don't change your views, they might tell you not to openly tell them to other brothers. If you did that, then a jc will be formed.

  Anyway I wish you all the best.

  Lee: 1 Question

  First the new ajwrb site on your link looks great. Especially that its good for mobile devices.

  I tried to open 'Personal Accounts', 'person 1' or 2 etc, under 'articles'. These personal experiences do not load. Do you know how to read them?

  Thanks for all your work.

  Sorry but thus site should have revolutionized the blood issue to the point that JWs would not have to deal with the blood issue at all. What did the site really accomplish?? Nothing, ever, IMO.

  This site and the corresponding one in German accomplished a lot. It opened my eyes about the blood issue and gave me reasons and arguments that neither the branch office nor hospital liaison members could answer. Reasons that make other witnesses I know think too about it.

  It would be great if this site came back.

  Link to the WT library of things that you wont find on the WT Library

  i just discovered a site today that has scans of most of the magazines/publications ever published by the wt bible and tract.

  it is not an "apostate site" it just has the material and no commentary.

  those of us trying to wake up jws may find this useful as we can show old quotes and publications without sending out red flags.. we are supposed to be proud of our spiritual heritge right??.

  Hi BU2B

  Thank's for the link.

  Just one correction. This site is of a former JW who disassociated with a letter of 25 pages. On his site he has this site and a lot of more information (similar to Jwfacts).

  This is all in German.

  the new jw bible and the verses they removed

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i noticed they removed several important ones like mark 16:9-20 acts 8:37 and romans 16:24, so how does one find out if there is any relevance to them removing these verses and others.

  they of course say these verses were not found in the oldest manuscripts so how can we see if they are correct or lying??

  ?.

  Are there many more verses like this that were deleted?

  Hi apostating

  I might find myself in a similar situation as you.

  My wife just left me because I believe WT is not the truth. She took our 1.5 year old son with her and lives at the moment at her parents place about 5 hours away.

  So every second week I will go and visit. Probably during my visit she will try to take him to the meetings. So I think I will have to make it clear that when I visit I wanna spend some time with my son and not spend this time at meetings. When he gets older of course he can decide on his own. I hope I can do that without big argument.

  Great Work

  How did you get to read all those old articles?

  Did you find a quote where medicine or medical treatment is spoken bad of?
