  I think this is one of the lessons of history.

  BTW I always like "LOVE's Excelling Way" the first edition.

  It was mostly putting the scripture to music . Love is gentle, kind, longsufring, I loved that scripture.

  If you received new light and you did not get a new lamp,

  If you don't change your doctrine , you just get new light

  Or if the light got brighter without changing a light bulb

  If you turn away in horror at the sight of cross _You might be a JW or a Vampire

  by Sabin in

  2. friends

  so my hubby has been on a bit of a roll about the jdubs, we were talking a lot about them & he said the buzz word he hate's the most is "worldly" why?

  because he say's "with that one word they have condemned (according to their believes) a person as being worthy of nothing but death.

  ".

  New light. Or the light keeps getting brighter- greatest gimmick ever!!! we weren't wrong,just needed new light.

  Bad association: anyone not a JW, everyone not brainwashed = no friends

  Great tribulation is just around : the bend,the corner, beware any minute now it's coming?

  "Reproach on Jehovah's name"

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the longer i am away from the cult, the more very childish and downright silly it seems in many many ways.. just another example of the childlike way they do not think things through is their obsession with "not bringing reproach on jehovah's name", that concept was used to stop jw's doing all sorts of stuff, a lot of it quite normal.. but the worst aspect of this concept is that they cover up the evil within their org any way they can.. yet they only have to look back on all the cover-ups of the past, by other religions, by politicians etc etc to see that an open acknowledgement and an open dealing with the situation at the time is far better.. cover-ups get exposed in the end, and leave you looking far worse than if dealt with honestly..

  That phrase is a powerful tool for keeping people in line. It can be used to justify disfellowshipping or cause to fear disfelloiwshipping. This phrase defined my childhood and left me looking over my shoulder with panic as I evaluated my every action.

  One of the first thoughts that went through my 12 year old head when I discovered that my "Elder" foster father was molesting my sisters ,was how can I stop him without "bringing reproach on Jehovah?"

  You were right: cover up it was. Tell the elders and not the authorities. Not even the case worker. Tell no one . No reproach....my responsibility, my duty.
