  i registered as a user (under an alias of course) but can't find a search bar anywhere on the site......i'm not a tech-savvy person, but usually can find what i need.

  i will repost this question under the post "counteract jw.org august 2014 campaign" participating in that idea was what prompted me to open an account on the jw site in the 1st place.

  other than that the whole thing makes me want to puke..

  I have been looking for the search feature also, but haven't found it either.

  I went to the online library, since I was pretty sure that there was a search feature there... The daily text came up. Revelation 14:7 "The hour of the judgment by (God) has arrived."

  OMJ! Talk about fear tactics to enforce obedience. Stand firm in your faith, brothers!

  I agree they should make it easier to search their site, since the last JW who came to my door told me I could search ANY question and get the answer!

  I think they want to make you hunt through the different topics, and be "led" where they want you to go... Just the same way I felt when we were doing our Bible study. I keep finding the most interesting information on their site... they pose their own questions, and come up with the most rewarding answers. I didn't know Truth could be so fascinating and adaptable to any situation.

  This is great!

  I might make a point to keep some TTATT info in my purse, so I can leave it on windshields of JWs.

  Now I don't have to wait for them to come to my door.

  The Watchtower is "inspired by God, because it is based on the scriptures...

  Let's look at the article you read last week, Watchtower December 15, 2013: "Don't Be Shaken From Your Reason!"

  First section (paragraph 1-2):

  "As we approach the end of this wicked system, Satan’s anger grows because he has only “a short period of time” left. (Rev. 12:12) So we can expect increased duplicity on the part of those who are influenced by the Devil, especially toward those who promote true worship.

  2 Misleading statements and outright lies about Jehovah’s servants and their beliefs are sometimes featured in the media. Newspaper headlines, television documentaries, and Internet Web pages are used to propagate untruths. As a result, some people become disturbed, gullibly believing such lies."

  These words are inspired by God? Really...?? Please do think about this for a moment... Does the above statement ring true or make sense to you?

  Do the writers who work for Jehovah's writing department, realize that it is actually illegal to publish "outright lies" in the newspaper or television documentaries? Why do their lawyers not take legal action against these wicked people, defaming the name of Jehovah??

  Are they trying to hide something?

  Does the above paragraph from God's inspired magazine, make you wonder what untruths and outright lies are being propgated by the media?

  www.jwsurvey.org has some examples of recent cases being brought into court against the Watchtower and its policies regarding their coverup of child sexual abuse.

  You can also Google the names "Candace Conti Jehovah's Witness" and "Ronald Lawrence Jehovah's Witness" and "Mark Anthony Sewell Jehovah's Witness" for cases that are currently in court. These are not lies.

  How do you identify the one true religion? You will know them by their fruits... over 23,700 child abuse cases reported to the Watchtower, and they keep them in a secret file at WTS headquarters... See www.silentlambs.org for more information about this database.

  ----

  Also please note: You are either a Jehovah's Witness supporter, or you are "influenced by the Devil." (see above from God's inspired magazine)

  Which choice will you make??

  my wifes family has not really kept in contact with her after we left the cult.

  i am the main reason but she never was a strong believer she just went with the flow as to not cause problems.

  she has not heard much from her mother since the death of her brother 3 years ago.

  Is it possible that they are waking up, and realizing that their past behavior is not following the example set by Christ?

  Did he explain to you why his sister was disfellowhipped? I would ask him about the faithful and discreet slave.

  There are a lot of things that don't make sense in JW world.

  You didn't phrase the question properly. The Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses is God's sole channel to people today. They speak for God, and any JW who denies that the "Faithful & Discreet Slave," is giving them all their spiritual food in this time of the end, is subject to suspicion and can be put on trial in front of their own private panel of elders.

  What evidence can they show you that the GB is that slave, or even that we are supposed to follow a slave. (Who sends money to slaves, and waits for their instructions to come to them in a magazine format? ... JWs do. Does that make sense?)

  Last night, my mom was very excited to tell me that there was an Interntational Convention in the US this year. It will be a 3-day weekend (Detroit, June 6-8 for her), and will be held instead of the District Convention.

  She is very excited about it, and said there would be about 25,000 people there.

  discussion with a friend

  recently, i met an old friend for a coffee, he is a jw in good standing.. he does not know of my "awakening", but he knows, that i m pretty open with things.. so he came up with some thoughts, that, if somebody listened, would be enough for a jc on basis of apostasy.. since his english is not so good, i suppose he did not read this on the internet.. i just paraphrase some of his thoughts:.

  the creation account in genesis is not accurate and in line with science.

  a global flood was not possible.

  inbetween: You are a good friend, to let him tell you about his feelings and doubts. I'm sure it is a great relief to be able to talk to someone who understands. What a great opportunity and release for you both.

  I get the impression it's very hard to find a JW friend you can trust with your secrets.

  Today, it seems that simply doubting or asking questions about the JW religion, is worse than breaking the top 10 commandments of the Old Testament. New World (translation) Order!

  JW. org: "No, we are not a cult. We do not look to any human as our leader."

  i know this has been rehashed, time and again, but i saw this interesting blip on jw.org last night, and did a little thinking about it.... jw.

  org answers the important question that so many have... are jehovah's witnesses a cult?.

  jehovah's witnesses do not look to any human as their leader.

  Some might think of a "cult" as being a high-control group, that tells you what kind of pants men can wear...
