we are going to edinburgh today to see what's going at the festival, go out for a meal and probably see a show.. i have made up some cards with the jwfacts.com logo to hand to jws on the trolleys.
there is nothing on the cards part from the logo.
ttatt is only a click away..
Hi cofty..did you feel a sense of disappointment at the absence of the JWs?
Whenever I'm in town I'll normally have a ' blether 'if there not around I feel a bit of disappointment as imparting some ttatt gives me a feeling of achievement.
Best wishes.
Ps.. glad you enjoyed your day in Edinburgh.
there are interesting claims in the watctower, august 2014:.
2 today, jehovah guides his people by means of the bible, his holy spirit, and the congregation.
(acts 9:31; 15:28; 2 tim.
The main and crucial point is;...the new light was not an enhancement of understanding, but a complete contradiction!!
Therefore the old light was beamed up by who?....scottie!!! (Star trek )
It surely proves the point;...you can get something from nothing, even a reaction . Well bless ma soul !!!
i know this has been talked about in the past but im new here..
A watcher...you say the GB (fds) are your brothers who give you wise counsel and you decide IF and HOW you apply it.
Is their wise counsel not ' food at the proper time'?
That being the case you MUST consume it NO CHOICE or you will spiritually starve and we know how they treat spiritually weak dissenters.
Are you sure it is wise for you to choose which bits of counsel (food) which they so lovingly provide for your consumption?
Best wishes
i won't be lengthy on this.
i have been in the org for about 20yrs.
now & woke up about 2yrs ago.
Welcome. Take control of your OWN life.wishing you and your loved ones a successful journey.
i thought it was high time to introduce myself (without my name of course).
as my name would suggest i have been reading your intriguing post, thoughts and discussions for some time now.
around 3/4 months to be exact.. i guess to start with it would seem fitting to give a little background on my current situation.. i'm a born-in, but have over the last few years found that through a number of varying occurences, (some of which i may discuss in future posts) that my 'zeal' has gone from regular field service and meetings to no service in over a year and very sporadic meeting attendance.
Welcome to our diverse and sometimes enlightening forum for many to discuss , debate, vent and find kinship with many who have similar feelings and experiences as yourself.
Best wishes.
today at work a co-worker of mine and i were having lunch at a nearby establishment.
he is what you would call a c&e christian in that he basically attends church only for the christmas and easter services, though he definitely says he believes in god.. he said that he just recently caught an episode of a crime/forensic show that featured a man from new jersey named john list who was also known locally as the "bogeyman of westfield.
" list became infamous for murdering his entire family consisting of his wife, three children and his mother on november 9, 1971. see below link for more data.. on the tv show the narrator commented there were a few reasons why he did it.
All as a result of the greatest conjurer known to man;...the human brain!!
recently a jw friend that my wife & i knew 3 years ago added me on facebook, after i accepted the request she invited me to a dinner that her and her husband are holding next month.. i imagined that she was unaware of our apostasy, so i declined the invitation on the basis of not wanting to ruin her dinner after the rest of her guests fled at our presence.. i'm never sure how old friends will react when i tell them that i'm no longer a jw.. usually their response is "..... permanent-silence......".
her response went something like this, " we are all out!
everyone that is coming is out we all look forward to seeing you guys so much" it turns out that there will be 6 people at the dinner all friends of ours from a congregation that we attended a few years back.. they have all left the organization recently.. pretty crazy experience..
Wonderful!...somehow made my heart very glad enjoy!!
i guess it was bound to happen..... just saw a facebook post where the user updated their profile picture to be the blue square jw.org logo.. .
don't know whether to laugh or cry.
worship the borg, you people!!!
Im so glad the new light has directed the fds this way, its an example of new light instigators being influenced by ' worldly technology ' first !!
Who would have thought eh ?!!
when i read coc, i was stunned that the 2 elders (theotis french & rob dibble) were on ray franz judcial committee.
i have known these men for over 20 years having done rbc and convention work with them.
they are still elders today which means they were in their early 30's(which is unheard of for a case of this importance to have inexperienced elders to sit on) on this committee.. without revealing myself, i have never tried(but have wanted to), ask them about their on having to judge a former gb member.. then out of the blue, about a year ago, i was mentioning how hard it is trying to get younger ones to volunteer to one of these elders, and he says"this is nothing compared to to sitting on the committee that had to disfellowship ray franz".
They were puppets...who were the instigators?
