  Update

  by freemindfade in

  so since i blew up at my family for being self righteous hate mongers, my uncle sent me a huge letter calling my ignorant and uncaring.

  to which i exploded back with an email.

  may have gone a bit too far on that one, but whatever what is done is done.

  If you are comfortable posting the e-mails, I'd read them.

  Epiphany moment this morning!!

  by kairos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after all my reading, conversations, study, meditating, video watching, etc.. this for me, could very well be the "end all" topic to clearly define why being a jw is useless.. there is zero scriptural evidence that following the rules of a "governing body" of men is required to be acceptable to god or to gain salvation ( everlasting life in paradise ).. when asked by anyone, this will be my reply.

  "show me the evidence".... i don't care if it cries out, "i'm an apostate"!.

  whomever hears the comment will not be able to ignore it.

  Whomever hears the comment will not be able to ignore it. Maybe a simpler statement fastened to utility poles where JW's can see them. Under yard sales signs, near the hall, common route into the territory or favorite coffee shops, for example.

  Psalm 146:3
  Do not put YOUR trust in nobles,
  Nor in the son of earthling man, to whom no salvation belongs.

  It's your posts that are helping me the most!I welcome your thoughts on this.

  Local needs talk

  by hoser in

  1. social
  2. humour

  one of the elders was missing his service bag and suspected that one of the publishers stole it.

  he was determined to root out who did it so he decided to give a local needs part on the ten commandments focusing on you must not steal.. he enlisted the help of a trusted ministerial servant and got him to stand at the back of the kingdom hall during the part.

  he told the ms that he would read off the ten commandments and when he got to the one "you must not steal" he would pause longer than usual and see if anyone acted nervous or suspicious.

  I though it was ironic that I found this on an obviously, very tightly moderated proJW FB page.

  They will feel pride in the publications, yet the caption creates cognitive dissonance.

  It could unknowingly awaken some to the flawed doctrine and false teachings.

  Living in the era of "Generation Me"

  by campaign of hate in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this really got to me today at the wt study.. i am not ashamed to admit, i am part of that "generation".. you get one role of the dice in this life, you got to take what you can now, in order to have a good quality life later.. i agree, we need to help and show love to our fellow man.

  but, not when this becomes the priority above our own needs, wants and aspirations.. welcome to "generation me" wt, this is my time.. peace out..

  Tell us more about the lesson's content.

  Coincidentally, my wife out of the blue, used the term "generation me" today. I later read this topic and asked her if she heard it in the lesson. She did.

  Is 1919 Important to the WT?

  by Anon_SA1 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  does anyone know if the wt still claims they were appointed in 1919?

  is there proof of this appointment?

  any ideas where i can find out how they get to this date?

  If they invoke Nu-Lite, then every publication that mentions 1919 was wrong.

  Big gamble.

  Wait for a revised Revelation book to provide "brighter light"...

  Proof, you ask?

  That doesn't exist.

  Talking to support and contacts at WT HQ

  by Juan Viejo2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have a story to share about my calls to wt ny hq this past week.

  i was quite surprised by the level of disinterest and lack of concern from the two contacts that i spoke to.

  rather than jumping right in and sharing my experience - and perhaps "poisoning the well," i'd like to read experiences of others on this forum who had the urge or need to call the wt contact number.. btw - mine was not an apostate rant or overly critical of the wt and was presented in a friendly and helpful way.
