Thank you pale.emperor,

I have downloaded your apostate interview haven't yet listened to it but I will for sure.

I personal believe JWs are so heavily brainwashed no one will leave until they themselves are ready.

You just can't fix stupid.

Thank you Tantalon

Just wanted to say ; about one of your comments about learning to hug and say "I love you", I too learned this from "worldly" people.

This was one of the biggest eye-openers that I learnt from "worldly" people.

Pretty sad when we were raised in the most loving group of Christians in the world!

Sad indeed

Research help needed: knowledge of Knights Templar and Masonic history vital

by Fay Dehr in

i am in conversation with a uk historian regarding some knights templar locations, where jws have built buildings.

*** this is serious research - not a joke *** .

i am not - and do not wish to be - a conspiracy theorist, but something has come to light in the uk and i lack the knowledge of knights templar + masons.

i left the wts in the early 1990's and i was baptised at the same assembly as this elder and his wife in the late 1980's they were probably in their early 50's back then, you know the kind; get called on, become a study and take to life as a jw like a duck takes to water, a dream call for all jw's and we went onto to be good friends with them over the years, the book study was held in their house also, he quietly progressed up the jw ladder became an ms then elder, a few months after i started my fade i saw him one day while i waited for a bus and he acknowledged me i said hi etc and he started a verbal tirade towards me about me knowing its the truth, how close we are living to the end, how stupid i was turning my back on it etc blah blah blah, i couldn't really get a word in edge ways, i bid him good day and that was that, he really was quite angry, i never saw him again until recently over 25 years later when him and his wife and their son were having a meal in my local pub, he was standing at the bar ordering, i saw him acknowledged him said hi and he looked straight through me, he said "do i know you ?

" i replied " hey eddie its jookbeard from the ********** congregation, surely you remember me?

" he said sorry i've never seen you before in my life, his wife came over to help him with his drinks and i said "hey pat, how are you?

smiddy3,
Is God so incompetent that he can`t say what he means ? or that he does not mean what he says ?

Better still why didn't Jesus write something down, after the books of Matthew Mark Luke and John all of them just quoting what Jesus said?

We could have the book of Jesus straight from the horse's mouth.....But ohhh NOOOO! That would make things to clear and understandable

Would you?

by Half banana in

would you join a religion which punishes you if you later on change your mind and choose to leave it?.

would you join a religion which claims to be the only one guided by god and yet has always got their prophetic utterances entirely wrong?.

would you join a religion which changes its beliefs every few years?.

MightyV8

Would you join a religion.....

NO full stop.

Ex-Jehovah's Witness Recovering Group 3 and This Site

by dubstepped in

jw
friends

i don't remember seeing it ever really talked about here but the facebook group with the namesake of this post shut down at the end of march.

it was archived and they weren't clear as to when or if they would come back.

it seemed to come out of nowhere, and i know a lot of people were disappointed.

MightyV8

Thank you for raising this topic dubstepped

From what I gather Simon has basically built a lot of this custom himself. He, as far as I know, seems to be the only mod. So you know he gets a ton of messages and problems between people here to deal with. I don't know what he does exactly behind the scenes but my guess is there's some SEO involved and other things to keep up with. Props to Simon for keeping this place open while so many others fold.

I agree wholeheartedly

So thank you to Simon, and to your wife as well who I think does things behind the scenes or just supports you in this (I don't know who does what), because it isn't easy and you're truly helping people. This place was a lifesaver for me.

Yes, I too would like to thank Simon and his wife for the time and effort you put in to keeping this site up and running.

Simon very much appreciated.

For a novice like myself, this is by far the easiest site to navigate.

Keep up the good work, again thank you, Simon.

by StarTrekAngel in

you all may recall a recent news article i posted.

it was about a bus driver who abused several school children.

while the news never really dived into his personal life, i did mention here that he is a well known elder to the hall i used to attend.. two new charges have been brought against him and now the bail is up to $420,000.
