  Why doesn't Jesus appear to you ?

  by opusdei1972 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the new testament tells us stories about miracles, people speaking in different languages by the holy spirit, jesus appearing to many of his disciples.

  but, why this was only a first century phenomenom???.

  here some reasoning: http://godisimaginary.com/i15.htm.

  What has the Watchtower reading material done to YOU?

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the reason i ask is because i realise i couldn't go on reading watchtower material.

  i have discovered it did something to my mind no other literature has done to me before.

  it had turned me in to a person without a heart, or soul, and made me in humane and distant from other humans who didn't share the w.t world view.. i now feel ashamed of my childish behaviour, and i have learnt :-.

  Well, right after I woke up from my programming...just looking at a magazine lying on the desk made me nauseous. Nauseous to the point that I had to pick it up and tear it into tiny little pieces and flush it down the toilet.

  Royal Commission taking our emails to heart

  by wannaexit in

  2. friends

  during the proceedings of australian royal commission, as many of you, i also took time to share with the office of mr stewart, my thoughts and perspective on what what being said and not said by the witness elders on the stand.

  within a day a received a reply from office of angus stewart thanking and appreciating the insight from those on the "inside".

  yesterday i received a further email that my correspondence was passed on to case study 29 (jehovah's witnesses) team for their consideration.. it sounds like they are taking all our collective experience and knowledge into account as the commission continues its work..

  I'm just happy that all you that have been abused by the organization are at least being heard and having a sympathetic ear. An ear that might just be able to become a major thorn in the side of JW.Org.

  What woke you up?

  by Israel Ricky Gonzales in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  in march of 2014, i was a very active jw, a ministerial servant, gave a public talk, was an attendant for the memorial, and one of 4 cleaning captains for an international convention of 40,000+ attendees.

  so what woke me up?

  an innocent comment from a co-worker about the candice conti court case rang a bell that could not be unrung.

  Local Congregation Takes Away My Dad's Phone Hook-Up (HE'S 85 YRS. OLD)

  by NoMoreHustle in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this happened about 6 months ago, didn't really have an opportunity to post about it (been busy), but they still haven't given back his password for the phone hook-up.

  they say that this is direction from the "branch office".

  i think it's complete bs, the real reason why they are doing this is to punish me & my family because i am basically a ghost when it comes to meetings & any type of activity.

  My old hall changed the password every 6 months...in you weren't deemed worthy of it, they just wouldn't update you.

  by WingCommander in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  anyone in the usa following this morning's shooting "on-air" live tv will know what i'm talking about.

  bryce williams (not real name, but on-air name) shot and killed 2 people on live television this morning in roanoke, va. he was wearing a go-pro camera, and uploaded his first-person video onto his social media accounts.

  i've seen his twitter feed (before it was taken down), and not very far down he mentions being raised a jw.

  In Ireland, where handguns are illegal, only the criminals have them. Citizens get shot by these criminals. Citizens who aren't allowed to legally own handguns to defend themselves.

  I guess the elders either don't believe he's really anointed or don't give a rats azz...

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  just wondering if anyone has used any underhanded ways of spreading ttatt.

  i would love to engage in this "alternative witnessing".

  I only tell non-witnesses I know to basically steer-clear of the cult.
