hey everybody, been here lurking for years now... i tired of all the gb 2.0 shit and need to fade successfullydo we have a guide, i am very tempted to go out with a bang, but i want my wife with me, she aint a strong witness and would happily trust me ... i love her a lot.
status as of now,,, read coc isocf, been through jw facts and am convinced this religion is bs, also a ms now :( damn.
Driving Force, why do you think it is better to not give any reason?
I am a woman and have nothing to resign from, but I was thinking to tell the elders that I do not agree with some understanding of the scriptures in the publications.
Would that be so bad?
tomorrow's wt study, paragraph 4 says this - "the early bible students understood the expression rendered in the king james version "my brethren" to refer to those who would rule with christ as well as to all of mankind after they are restored to earthly perfection.".
rutherford decided in 1923 to change this teaching, and create an elite group of christians.
for 92 years the men running the wtbts have perpetuated & embellished this false teaching - especially so during the past three years - and hidden the bible truth about christ's brothers from millions of people fearful to question the org - created doctrine!.
Thank you for this thread. I have a big problem with this doctrine and understanding of jw's ...
Another aberration I found about this:
*** ws chap. 1 pp. 10-11 par. 16 The Desire for Peace and Security Worldwide ***
16 Just as the ancient nation of Israel was in a covenant relationship with Jehovah God through the mediator Moses, so the nation of spiritual Israel, “the Israel of God,” has a covenant relationship through a mediator. (Galatians 6:16) It is as the apostle Paul wrote to his Christian fellow worker: “There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:5) Was Moses the mediator between Jehovah God and mankind in general? No, he was the mediator between the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and the nation of their fleshly descendants. Likewise, the Greater Moses, Jesus Christ, is not the Mediator between Jehovah God and all mankind. He is the Mediator between his heavenly Father, Jehovah God, and the nation of spiritual Israel, which is limited to only 144,000 members. This spiritual nation is like a little flock of Jehovah’s sheeplike ones.—Romans 9:6; Revelation 7:4.
maybe it is too soon, but i would like to hear the new convention.
i would appreciate it if anyone is willing to share there recording.
thank you, maralee
Sir82, you are so funny ...
and so right!
I was hoping this religion will become a little sounder. No chance!
Tomorrow we have a one day convention in another town.
I will take advantage of the fact that all jw's are out of town and I will attend a meeting at a neoprotestant church.

i made a thread on reddit regarding questions jw's can't answer.
was wondering what you guys can add to it..
I have a q about the new doctrine. If the faithful and discreet slave is only the GB, when Jesus comes and gives them all his possessions, will He give it only to anointed ones who have been part of the GB over the years, or to all anointed ones. In the second case, the faithful and discreet slave is still all the anointed ones not just GB ....
not on the front page, not in the study articles, but carefully camouflaged in the questions from readers on page 18 (watchtower march 15, 2015).
you can bet most jws wont even read it..
there is no apology...just the usual excuses..
Maybe this phrase types/ antitypes is commen in english.
In my language it is not and 99 % of people have not heard of it and have no idea what it means.
They should have said they will not try to give complicate significance to any parable or metaphor of the bible. And that all the parables or metaphor they gave special significance to is not valid anymore - like the faithful and descreet slave, the little flock and other sheep, not keeping birthdays, not voting etc!
i have a pretty good intuition but i have to admit i am going back and forth on the jw tv may broadcast.
i keep asking myself are they really in financial trouble (wishful thinking) or are they just grabbing for more money?.
i always appreciate reading everyone's thoughts and ideas on here.. let me know what you think.
Wow, fredo, you are so right.
In light of my recent research about all that has been said and done by the people who ruled this organisation over the years, I ask myself: do those people have no fear of God?!
the internet is the archive for civilization.. watchtower cannot hide it's history.. are we seeing the beginning of a mass exodus out of her?.
I don't think there will be an awakening.
Most info on TTATT is in english ... there are so many jw's that do not speak english.
plus, there are so many (english speakers and not) who just refuse to read/listen to anything that criticize the org.
i was just pondering the other day, is it more likely that a man will leave a religion, or a woman?
is there a way to know if the men on the site outnumber the women or vice versa as to who found out ttat first and left.. im going to suggest men.
basically because men in general, do not like to be told what to do.
with all the negativity here i was wondering if i am the only one here that's a witness.
.
the topic pretty much says everything..
@ introvert 2
I would love to hear a talk like that!
