after two months of not coming to my house, today about two hours ago, one of the elders that came two months ago came to my house.

he was in serve-us with other brothers from the spanish cong and came into my house with a friend of mine (not another elder).

he said he wanted to talk to me, and he said it in front of my mom and my dad (both were there).. what was interesting is that it seems like it will be a one-on-one for half-hour.

why is the org acting worried?

by Crazyguy in

the latest statistics from the year book seems to indicated that no great increase of leavers, so why is the org seem to be acting like thier worried?

more talks about apostates, more asking for money, more talks about loyalty, etc.

what's up?.

Holy Spirit in new NWT

by hamsterbait in

in johns gospel jesus refers to the "helper" "the spirit of truth" saying "when he arrives he will etc".

the wt justified their use of he in this instance, because in greek the word is masculine gender.. (aside from the ludricrousness of this argument - english does have neuter pronouns).

have they changed he to it inthese passages?.

i was already on my way to my second fade when i went to the wildlife photographer of the year 2012 exhibition, but this photo made me lose faith in the idea of a loving creator......(the gazelle has been injured by the mother cheetah so she can use it to train her cubs to hunt).

I need help in dealing with a toxic family member!!!!

i have a close family member who is a pro in using shame to try to make me feel bad.

they are coming to stay at my place soon and the issue of me and mrs hoser not attending/ doing field service will come up no doubt.. i need some advice on how to deal with this because whenever i deal with these relatives they make me feel worthless.

it is probably part because they are jw's and jw's motivate by fear and guilt.. .

Give them a year or two in your house and they will probably destroy you. But hey! Have fun!

WT should ask the question: "Where do you want to be in 5 years; and what do you want to be doing?"

I think my fade has hit a rut. Do I need to grow a pair?

so here i am after about 18 months of wake up.

the first 6 months were a rollercoster of feelings as my whole belief system unravelled.

the last year has been more stable but things seem like they are just stalling now.. my wife is aware of many of my feelings although i have held back the fact that i am pretty close to denying all belief in any kind of god.

You are nothing to them. They are using you for their ego. It's all about them. They re establish their ego everytime you condone their behavior.
