who do you think is the fds on earth today?.
barely any jw can point at a gb member by face, fewer can name the governing body, fewer know these men in person or can account for them as people.
not one person became a jw from reading matthew 24 and saying 'aha!'.
Now at the District convention we will be getting to listen in on a few talks from the international convention and he thinks that the GB is trying to unite all of us because the end is coming soon again.
"...coming soon again."
My JW mother (new convert) has a "feeling" something big is going to happen in 2014. Our family is new to this bizarre organization. It is disturbing to see the way they treat their followers.
Welcome, JudgeJudy70. It's good to hear from another awakened one.
i`m an optimist and i would say zilch .
i would bet you a million dollars ( if i had a million dollars ) that if you did a survey in the street that you live , asking the householders what is the life saving message jehovahs witnesses bring to your door on a regular basis , they would not have a clue.. and they have been preaching this message for over 100 years .
how inefective can they be .. the probable answers you would get are : they dont take blood transfusions.
Are you kidding me? How many JW's even have a clue about a life saving message?
This question says it all. They are out spreading a "message," they know nothing about. The hours are more important than the message.
just received a fs visit - first for several months.
an attractive 'yummy mummy' with (what seemed to me) a strained smile and a very young girl (presumably her daughter) about 9 or 10.. the weather was attrocious, i was distracted, and i failed completely to make any comment or to challenge.
looking at the young girl, particularly, i felt nothing but sympathy.. i accepted a leaflet 'can the dead really live again?
Since you accepted the magazine, does that mean she will make a return visit to discuss it with you? I heard (3rd hand) a story about my brother in law, taking my niece to a door while out in FS. The woman answered the door and immediately became irate. She pointed her finger at my 11 year old niece, and told her to "Go back to the car, RIGHT NOW!!!" After my niece walked to the car, the woman laid into my brother in law, about how he should be ASHAMED of himself, bringing a CHILD out to do this filthy work. Hearing the story (from my JW mother), I simply said, "It's about time! Someone needs to yell at him! ... and I'll bet he just stood there and took it." hahahaha... There is a lot more to this story, and what my brother in law does to "discipline" and humiliate my niece. I know she will remember this day forever, and hopefully he will also, one day, when he finally decides to leave the false prophet he is serving. That is a long way off, but I am still hoping they will come to their senses. Anyway, just a thought... for anyone who gets a call from someone bringing their young child to the door with them. It had an impact.
i have always thought the trinity strange, and has pursued other than trinitarian christianity for my faith.
god does not have partners.
this is monotheism.. thought i d just check out the forum.. peace..
Comment deleted. My first impression of your question was wrong. Good luck to you in your search.

Non-trinitarian: Are you a Jehovah's Witness? They do not believe in the trinity, but they have some other strange beliefs you might also want to research.
www.jwfacts.com is a great place to start. He has done a lot of research into the JW organization, their history, policies and beliefs.
i read steve hassan's book and he mentioned about buzz words or triggers that call out the cult personality of a victim of mind controlling cult.
when you were in, what triggered you?.
Trinity, Cross, 1914, Jesus, Jehovah, Slave... Service
Church, Bible, God
To name a few. There are more, for sure. I watched my mom's cult persona click on and off the other day, while she was showing me her new bible.
Great book! I am reading that one, too.
does anyone know of any witnesses, in good standing, brother or sisters, that used to conceal carry to meetings or field service?.
Sorry, not Utied States. I meant to say Untied States.
LOL. Good assessment from our neighbor to the north.
I was just making sure you weren't planning anything yourself, and checking to see if the elders were going to be armed. Concealed weapon permits are available here. Your questions makes me wonder again about the upcoming instructions that "do not make sense from a human standpoint..."
We do not have guns at our house (that I will tell you about!!)

Why do you want to know??
hey gang....i've been trying to do something positive.
i'm not trying to reinvent the wheel....but as part of my own healing and catharsis, i'm trying to help others a little.. i know many here have done similar.. i'd appreciate any feedback you might have on my new facebook page.
thank you in advance!.
Great idea! Hope you help someone. Best wishes to you.
i was reading about khs on wikipedia and i noticed a link for the memorial of jesus' death.
why would any christian religion celebrate his death and not his resurrection.
a man dying is fairly common.
Christ told them to "Do this in rememberance of me."
I never thought about how they only celebrate the death. That is a good point. Another thing that was brought to my attention, was the way they put the emblems on a tray and pass them around the room... REJECTING the command Christ gave to eat and drink it.
WHO would be happy to celebrate the death of Christ? WHO do you think is rejoicing, every time a JW thinks he is pleasing "Jehovah" by rejecting the body and blood and sacrifice that Jesus made? WHO is the master of confusion?
The JW memorial ceremony is a Satanic ritual.
I might add, it is by far the creepiest and most depressing thing I've ever seen millions of people get so excited about... inviting all the world to come watch us reject the body and blood of Christ!
