  The GENERATION explanation is now a BOLD FACE LIE

  by scotoma in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i first heard about the new "generation" explanation i was confused because i didn't see clearly how they were explaining it.. now it looks like they finally figured it out for themselves and it is no longer confusing.. it is now a simple, ignorant, bold face lie.. this is from the january 1st watchtower.

  (and i hope to hell someone from writing gets wind of this).

  paragraph 15 page 31 blue stands for the exact words in the watchtower.

  "Take Me As I Am" (a song by Rumer)

  by Rufus T. Firefly in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was deeply touched by a story titled i escaped a cult, and it ruined my life by rachel mirante saavedr which she posted on facebook.

  in it she makes the point that, to jws, "love is absolutely conditional.

  " it was my experience, too, that the concept of unconditional love is totally rejected by jws, and, thinking back, that may well have been the very first discrepancy i perceived between the christ-like personality and what i observed within the jw culture.

  Interesting quote from July 15, 2013 Watchtower

  by Rufus T. Firefly in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the article who really is the faithful and discreet slave in the july 15, 2013, watchtower contains a curious comment.

  in paragraph 10 it is stated: "in recent decades, that slave has been closely identified with the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.".

  can anyone tell me who in recent decades has closely identified that slave with the gb?

  Angsty post

  by zound in

  2. friends

  i'm not far away from sending out a bunch of letters to all the jw's who i knew when i was one.

  the letters are the accumulation of the last few months of research etc.

  i've put a lot of effort into wording things just right so that that the jw's don't instantly throw it in the trash.

  Family is drawing the line in the sand

  by dissonance_resolved in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so my family has obviously been noticing over the past several months that i've been missing meetings and fs.

  i've had excuses sometimes, but not others, so my parents are definitely getting that this is more than a long bout of illnesses or fatigue.

  i just received an email invitation to join them in service this weekend.
