next week my wife and i are going to see, .. and visit, .. her aunt and uncle who are regular pioneers.. being regular pioneers they are, i just know it, .. get into it with me.. what do i say if they pull this scrip on me, ....... of not forsakeing the gathering together bit????.
so far i am preparing myself with all kinds of info, .. if it comes up.
"where two or three are gathered in my name"
Yeah the great thing about that verse is if you ask your average dub, they will say the name and person refered to is Jehovah.
NOPE!
It is Jesus.
I got to ding my know-it-all wife on that one during our bible study.

yaddayadda has an interesting post about us taking the fight directly back to the congregations.
all fine and dandy if you can stomach that type of thing.
i on the other hand think internet apostates should continue doing what they do best (and most enjoy).
And at least in my case, it is also directly responsible for my exit.
I think we have to apply the cockroach rule here. For everyone you see one, there are 1000 more hiding. So here is one person that had their exit facilitated. Multiply that by 1,000.
(For the record, I have met AK-Jeff personally and he is not a cock-roach. This is just an analogy. I know that Jeff knows what I meant, but I am married and therefore conditioned to carefully explain how everything say is not in anyway meant as an insult.)
i must admit after being an ex-jws for over 15 years now i still get fustrated at jw's elders when they act so non-chalant about the watchtower's prediction failures.
i was talking to a jw elder just the other day and he was trying to explain away that the society made errors in dates in the past but they are not "false prophets".
i was not even calling them false prophets he was the one that brought up the term.
"the truth will set you free"

i was reading e-watchman today and someone there is saying that after studying the what does the bible really teach book at bookstudies the next book will be the revelation book!!!.
there isn't any real proof, but the poster claimed a letter from bethel stated this.
perhaps some here can dig around and confirm or deny this new rumor.. we've studied it 3 times in the past and it's been awhile.
On the one hand I think it is awesome when I think of the sheer mental exhaustion my wife undergo to force this "ugly-step-sister foot" into the "glass slipper" of reality....
On the other hand it makes me sick to think my wife might still be in the org when it comes time to study this garbage.
what is your favorite fictional literary character.
which character do you identify with most?
i was a well-read kid and my favorite series of books were the elric saga by michael moorcock.
I always liked Atticus Finch, Samwise Gamgee, Cyrano DeBergerac, Kira Argon-something or another (from We The Living), One of the main rabbits- I can't remember his name- from Watership Down...
All I can think of right now...

so,... i'm new here...how does this site work?
can anyone give me some hints?
your sis,.
IP, I hope you are right... in which case I am the DOTT (dick of the thread). But at any rate, nice pick up even if the rest of the jwd community couldn't keep the welcome mat open for more than a few posts.
A thread I started on this very subject....

somos todos apostatas
Yeah good idea.... scare 'em off before we get a chance to do some good.
No big deal. It was probably the only opportunity she will have to hear a free thought for another ten years or so.
But at least you got to talk smack about the jw and impress us all with your language skills. That is the most important thing.

end times.
before 1874 to present, the watchtower has missed dates after dates on when the lord will come again.
and when the date comes and goes away the watchtower either ignores it or blames someone else.. scripture speaks clearly on this issue.
Hey you better watch it buddy! We are all devout JW's here, and we don't appreciate you false Christians coming in here with all your talk about false prophecies, and salvation through grace.
We were bought at a price, now we want to be slaves of men. We want to sell magazines to earn our points to pair-o-dice earth. Right now I have enough points for a really cool kayak!!! Oh wait, that is my marlboro points. Oh crap. I just outed myself as a smoker.
I hope no elders are reading this.
