  jw.org cart days numbered?

  by jookbeard in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  reading a report of an elder in a friends cong has been hiding and spying on the pioneers who seem to have a practise of dumping the cart and finding a local coffee shop, i've noticed that they do this in my local high street as well but this week they seemed to be all huddled around the cart, they've clearly been warned, a vast percentage of the time i see they seem to be more interested in fiddling with their mobile phones and gossiping, is just seems these carts are a means for the pioneers to turn in "easy time" i wonder what sort of figures show how much literature is being taken by the public?

  i bet its very minimal.

  naturally the gb would say they are a phenomenal success , we clearly know they are not.

  I do not have the energy for that kind of masquerade.

  Pretending to be witness or an apostate. Just pick one and be real!

  Check today's "text". March 12 2015, sentence 2:

  "Jehovah wants our faith in him to be built on evidence and sound reasoning, not on human philosophy or religious traditions."

  This is a blatant lie. Why?

  They claim to know God's thoughts. ( Yet, they have no evidence to support those claims )

  They do not value evidence or sound reasoning. ( higher education is bad )

  Everything Watchtower does is based on the Governing Body's philosophy or tradition not sound reasoning. There is simply zero evidence God is directing ANY organization, let alone communicating with Stephen Lett or Tony Morris from the heavens...

  shunniversary

  by Question_Mans_interpretation in

  as of the first week of february i had my one year shunniversary and i'm just now getting around to commemorating it and what better way to do that than share my story here.. im a fourth generation jdub.

  my greatgrandparents learned the "truth" on their farm back east somewhere and now here i am with a whole lot of jw indoctrination and a huge jw family.. i first began to wake up in november 2011 when the two part series came out in the watchtower on the discrepancy of the destruction of jerusalem dates.

  my husband, bless him, had said to me a couple months prior that he wanted to start taking a closer look at the 1914 doctrine because some of the dating calculations didn't seem right ( he's a total numbers guy and is extremely good at math) so when these two part articles came out the timing was just amazing and helped us to start seeing the holes in the societies reasoning.

  Thanks for sharing that with us.

  I would enjoy reading that letter if you are up to posting it.

  We are all survivors. We've all lost something.
  I believe a good look at each of our stories will help others in the long run.

  Things are stressful enough. I repeat what was written earlier: do not play by their rules.

  I have family shunning me already. They may some day reach out.
  If I'm formally out ( DF/DA ) not likely to ever hear from them again.

  "DON'T BE AFRAID TO DIE FOR THE TRUTH"

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my jw sister was over tonight for supper and after a couple of glasses of vino she told me that "today's watchtower study was bullshit" and that one of the 'elite elders' made a comment that bothered her a great deal.. he was apparently at bethel not too long ago and "one of the big-wigs" who was giving a talk said "don't be afraid of dying for the truth brothers" and this jackass was stupid enough to repeat this at the meeting.

  it bothered my sister a great deal and i said to her: "soooo are they going to start passing out the kood-aid or what?

  " she knew exactly what i was talking about and she said "ya, i wondered the same thing.

  JW Disfellowshipping vs. Amish Meidung vs. Bahá'í Covenant-Breaking

  by SonoftheTrinity in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  saw an interesting short documentary about a woman who was a born covenant-breaker (which is baha'i for disfellowshipped) because she is the great-granddaughter of baha'ullah whose grandfather disagreed with the leadership, as well as the command that no baha'is should live in israel unless they are working for the universal house of justice (their bethel).

  i also read somewhere that shunning in many amish communities has been watered down to having to eat outside at weddings and other communal events.

  the more comparisons are drawn between jehovah's witnesses and so called false religions, the less they can claim to be the only true religion.
