hello all... i currently studying the bible teach book and i'm just curious what information does the study conductor record about the student and is it passed on??
and they keep on saying "the truth" which is starting to get on my nerves.
lol.
Kulotti,
It was really nice that you were bought groceries when you were sick. But they count it all as time. I genuinely cared when I was a JW and I still genuinely care.
You will have to suppress your personality and your true self if you ever get baptised. You will never have a partner unless you go straight.
It was the kindness that got me in too, but it was the lack of love that opened my eyes when I needed it most.
Thanks for reading all the advice

though we can easily dismiss many of jws teachings on many counts, the sad part is that we do not have any alternative.
1) 1) though some of the things bible said may have gone wrong (most of which would not even touch our day-to-day lives), the worst thing it foretold (which very much affects our day-today-lives) has come true: people will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world.
(luke 21:26).
I don't really know what point you're trying to make. Are you trying to discredit science with your calculations? If so your calculations are based on assumptions that have no proof.
I believe in god and in science. The two are not mutually exclusive.
Your post is not coherent abianther. What exactly is your point?

Kulotti79,
Welcome to the site. As you can see you have three pages worth of responses warning you about this cult. You did the right thing to find out some independent information about keeping records. But there is much more you can find out from independent sources such as jwsurvey.org and jwfacts.com.
I hope you take seriously what everyone has posted, keep us all updated.

for those of you that are into activism you may enjoy this special report video.
here's the description from the jwstruggle youtube channel:.
my buddy joel the unwitness recently went undercover at a kingdom hall, armed with a notebook, regular clothes, and an american standard bible.
I enjoyed watching the video. There were a few technical hitches that made the experience less enjoyable. I like'd the fact that he had 10-12 JWs listening to him discuss the NGO status of WT in the UN. He brought up other things too which was good.
I thought it was very calm and respectful the way he approached the brothers and he wasn't bitter and angry at individuals.

i have come to a startling and sad realisation!.
i have no real friends!.
i have always been extremely active in every aspect of the org, since childhood.
Well Stuck,
Sorry to hear you might be getting df'd. It is very isolating. All the positive advice you have got on this thread I have tried. Has it worked yet? Not for me.
I still live in hope but I don't have high expectations of getting a circle of true friends. Posters make it sound easy, but the harsh reality is, it takes time to build lasting friendships.
Take care Stuck

the saddest story ever told.
despite being childhood sweethearts, in the year 1941 they decided to postpone marriage and remain single and childless in this system so as to put the the theocracy first, albeit under the control of the watch tower society.. in the final pages of the children book john and eunice walk silently through the fields and stop by a great tree on the river bank where they had sometime before discussed their future plans.
the young lovers seat themselves down and look over the landscape.
I think more sisters stayed single for WT, I know of a few in my old cong. Very sad indeed.

Very manipulative. I really am disturbed by the way he talks about JWs being DF'd for apostasy and other brothers and sisters feel for them. Sinutko then goes on to say, "well you don't know all the facts". This is the big problem with shunning, no one ever knows the full facts it's all covered up.
This is why the internet is so therapeutic, people can tell their story, we can get the full picture and the more we do the more we realise others have the same story as us. In this way we get all the facts.

hey everyone, this is my first post.
i was contacted by the witnesses in1965, baptized in that same year at age 15. i was appointed an elder in 1975 and served as an elder for 20 years..
it hasnt been long since i learn ttatt and when i totally woke up.
Hi John,
Welcome to the board. I am so sorry when you went to close friends and family about 607 they accused you of apostasy straight away. If you have lost all your close friends and family what possible reason are you fading for?
That part of your story seems a bit confusing. It's a shame you didn't come here when you first started having doubts and you could have had a smoother exit.

there are many things wrong with the world, many injustices and crimes committed.
what if we could stop one of them?
wouldn't it make the world a slightly better place?
Wow!
Well I must say Simon, I think over all I obey the typing rules, and I do skip posts that have a bad layout, but really aren't you being a little OCD about it.
You have mentioned it before and I don't think you're going to change those who don't use proper layouts.
I may be wrong though.
