Nice idea Searcher,
I was very scripturally minded when I first awakened and read the Bible lots. You're scriptures resonated with me and helped me see that WT was not in line with the bible.
I am sure others will be awakened by your scriptures too

are the governing body of the wt wickedly smart with extremely high iq or are they leaders of the wt because they were at the right place at the right time.
(in other words, pure luck )-think lottery.
ive seen them talk in jwtv and you can never convince anyone in the whole world that these guys are in the same category as someone smart or cunning like jim simons who founded renaissance technologies or bill gates.
I think they are ass kissing dumshits who love prominence, power, glory, and expensive possessions.
They have no conscience and no sense of justice. They do not have a moral compass.
DUMBSHITS.

essex chronicle october 1st as quoted.
link below.. jehovah's witnesses have quashed rumours that the bid to bring their headquarters to chelmsford could collapse due to financial turmoil.. the international bible students' association (ibsa), the organisation which circulates the christian group's literature, said on monday that the construction in temple farm in west hanningfield will continue.. an anonymous source contacted the chronicle on friday claiming a woman in the ibsa's construction department confirmed the project would terminate.. the man, a current jehovah's witness member, said: "something major is going on with the organisation financially.".
the ibsa did however confirm it was pulling the plug on other construction projects worldwide.. stephen morris, ibsa's personnel support manager at its branch relocation department, said: "in order to make best use of contributed funds, some construction projects worldwide will be delayed or cancelled.. "however, we are pleased to confirm that the temple farm project will continue.

hello, i am a new member.
i grew up in the jw religion; however i am not an active jw.
have been visiting this site for about 3 yrs, and have become quite attached to it.
Welcome New Order,
Thanks for telling your story about domestic violence. My family suffered it to and the WT doesn't handle it properly at all.
Thanks for speaking out.
Kate xx
that is the truth-- that's really how i think now.
so why should i tell the truth?
just look at the person i've become.
Welcome....embarrassed xx
I can see you now regret lying. It seems like you need to make a fresh start. If your bf forgives you then you can make a fresh start with him.
I don't feel my telling the truth and being honest has led to consequences. But also I believe not everyone is entitled to know the answers to all the questions they address to you. Some need to build trust.
We all are entitled to an element of privacy.
Try and have some balance and don't deceive people unnecessarily.
Take care

since the move, it has been so enjoyable to not have jw's breathing down our necks asking why we didn't make the meeting, or having to pretend to be "spiritual" in front of family all the time.. 90% of my week is virtually stress free.
then, my mom calls or texts wanting to talk to her grandkids.
every dang call, she asks about the new congregation, if we went to the meeting, etc.. why can't i tell her to fk off?
It's time to end the relationship, but I just can't bring myself to do it. - Cappytan
I don't think you're a coward..... I think you don't like upsetting you're mum or other family members.
To DA is very final....and to cut all contact is final too. You have to do what's suits your household at the right time.
I hope you have an idea of what you're going to do.
Keep us informed

what happens to ex-bethelites is really of no concern to the gb.
and equally no concern to us as ex-jws or those who question jw organization.. layoffs have happened at headquarters and elsewhere for many, many years - although the scale this time is larger than previously, being an all time high: 1,600. .
for the record, we should spare any sympathy/empathy for those who are about to sent packing this time.
Well I feel for those who thought they were giving all they had to Jehovah. I myself gave up a career as a chemical analyst to pioneer for Jehovah. I gave him everything.
I have now been out for two years and volunteering and retraining as I can't go back to my old career. I have lost my seniority.
I empathise with them and will help and support any that visit this site.....especially to avoid suicides if I can.

do any of you ex-jw's still believe in god?
even with the new rebranding/softening of this religion, i still don't see how people can believe in him.
the god of the old testimate is an angry murderer who approved rapes and slavery and killed thousands of men, women and children.
Just as I thought Viv, you cannot correct my definition.
If anyone is interested in me continuing to respond to Viv please send me a PM. I have proved I know about chemistry and I have proved that no one can correct me. For anyone that is interested in knowing more about enantiomers and stereo isomers please PM me and I will explain more to you.
Thanks Viv for the comments
