"we do not believe that.....those who take the lead in religious activities should have titles that elevate them above others.

started with a penis joke. King Rehoboam friends told him to say to the people,
"my little finger shall be thicker than my father's loin". Some translation will say
father's waist, but the correct translation is penis (loin).
Who makes this stuff up, it must be truth. RSV, KJV, HCSP and others states loin..
so as i am "listening" to the wt study going on this question was asked.
"how do you feel about refined understanding?".
some of the comments were:.
One day there will be a massive awakening, The most brain dead JW
will realize, this is a bunch of bull. You folks that are still trapped will
lead them into the light. Hang in there, your day is coming soon.
when i see people on here saying they've looked on several sites before this one, jwfacts, jwstruggle, youtube, etc., and then they make friends here, sometimes meeting up with ex-jws, it seems incredibly easy compared to leaving in 1989. .
no internet, no amazon to find ex-jw books, no facebook to link up with ex-jw groups.
still people find it so hard to leave.

mom and dad.
steven hassen is a well known name for many, if you do not know him google can help.
this information is certainly not new, but as almost every exjw has deep affection and concern for active jws it is certainly my wish and i hope the wish of other exjws that any active jw considers this information.
this information cannot be deemed as apostate, it is just stating the opinion of someone who has spent much of his adult life in helping people to realize what a cult is.
One person believing there's an invisible man in the sky--He's crazy
A hundred people believing in an invisible man in the sky----cult
Millions of people believing in an invisible man in the sky---It's a Religion.
So who knows "are JW's a Cult".
i've noted active, devoted jw's state the above.. and, it's not a problem for me to remain trusting of god, i just don't trust religions or men.. recently, a member of this forum stated that he remains an active jw, in the family of god's people, wanting to encourage and do good - whilst recognising that the pastoral leaders (the gb) have shipwrecked the faith of many, being unsound scripturally etc, etc.. stop and think about this - the bible says to not follow after those who lie and hurt the faith of "little ones".. the pharisees were accused of traversing over lands and expending much energy to make a single convert - only for that convert to end up worse of than he started off with.. it's one thing to not believe this is the 'truth' and feeling the awful pressure of managing ones life, trying not to lose ones family.. it's quite another thing to declare oneself to be a christian believer of god's jw household, and somehow believe the god of love would use corrupt liars to parade as jesus' brothers in the urgency of last days.
really?
and, to then visibly promote faith in corrupt men, and try to bring converts into a place where the rulership is wrong.. some of us are dying from hurt here.......give me a break..
The problem, Brother Jeramy needs to be deprogram.
He still believe Jehovah selected this organization and it is the
truth. You need to listen to Satan, he will set you straight.LOL
Seriously, Brother jeramy is straddling that proverbial fence and that
my friend can make you go kooky.
i can't believe they still going strong.
