dear brothers and sisters,.
it has come to our attention that many in our ministry are encountering individuals who question the accuracy of the bible on scientific grounds.
for example, they may ask questions such as, how does a snake talk when it has no vocal chords or mouth and lip muscles?
You're overlooking the fact that Blue Fairy was active in both instances,
As Disney has bought the rights to both stories you will be hearing from
our lawyers,
Heathen,

oh so it's jesus fault the spiritual food hasn't been perfect!
we your governing body are just responsible for serving it!
think about this people, they are saying it was jesus who told us the end was going to come in 1975. then before the 1914 generation passed away no later than the 1990's.
My question to you is this:
When I was a JW I was taught this distinction,
The Bible and it's writers were INSPIRED,
Watch Tower writings are not,
The Bible cannot fail as it is "inspired"
Watch Tower writings can fail as they are not,
Governing Body (F&DS) have never claimed to be inspired by Holy Spirit
But only DIRECTED by Holy Spirit,
(Btw I believe this distinction to be soley a JW invention)
So if my memory serves me correctly
What's new in what was written in the above Watchtower?

Plausible deniability
FJR played this hand well in the 1920s
(did he let EVERYBODY know that "I was an Ass"?)
After losing almost all members over 1925 he rebounded with Seth Sarim
in 1929 and membership swelled to unheard of numbers,
Ah, the loyal devotion of the faithful,
Fool me twice thrice fourfold....
Shame on ??

i am interested in finding out how you view yourself.
are really you when it comes to every day interactions....ie when at work, with family or friends, or if attending meetings?.
if still attending, do you feel you are not the real you at meetings?
I've been me all along,
Always different from the others,
Always doing what I thought was right by me,
As a teenager the only pioneer in the Congregation,
Through adulthood the only one visiting the sick and elderly,
Pretty much a loner
Out of step with "Jehovah's Army"
Unsuccessfully fought the AntiBeard Regulations,
I'm the only one I know who researched in a Christian College Library,
When I gave that talk nobody knew!
Well I am different,
There are people who think that I'm evil,
I don't think so
:0)
yes, that's what he just told me.
unbelievable.
this cult had no shame.. 😞😞😞 .
My Mom's of a similar age,
They've had a long time to decide what they want to do with
themselves at this point of course,
So if they're happy they're happy,
What I object to are little kids being forced,
And being "indoctrinated" by which I do mean brainwashed,
When it takes so long to undo the damage,
As I know firsthand!

those of you who know my story are aware that i'm currently disfellowshipped and living with my parents.
up until now, my plan has been to be reinstated and then fade, but recently my plans have changed.
in a conversation with my mother a few days ago and she made it clear that she would not be okay with me getting reinstated with the purpose of going inactive.
Regarding letters,
My own choice is to say nothing,
I hate my own words being twisted,
People are going to say what they WILL,
They don't need my help to seed their talk,
But that's just me,
I wish you all the best,
Please stay in touch,

jehovah witnesses unaware they are fulling bible prophecies.
for many of us witnesses that have left either as stricken lost sheep or unlawfully disfellowshiped please consider that our brothers & sisters in the synagogues of kingdom halls are misled & need our help in trying to pull them out of the fire.
the test now on them is about just how they are treating their unlawfully excluded (disfellowshiped) brothers & sisters, as foretold at isaiah 66. at present they sit in judgement on us the growing great crowd who have come out & they are prepared with hard- heartedness to condemn their brothers & sisters to a final everlasting death, by running away as spiritual cowards refusing us a cup of life giving water (truth) matt 10: to explain the apostasy in their temple the disgusting thing in the holy place.
Luo bou to: yes yes Shaw, I've told you before: Show your work, Final warning! :)
