Does disfellowshipping work?
by what_Truth? in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i am going to conduct a little pseudoscientific experiment here.

my hope is to prove without a doubt that disfellowshipping causes more problems for the jw's than it solves.

to do this i will ask all of you who voluntarily left: .

There were many reasons I finally left.
The number one reason that helped me make the final decision was that they were forcing me to go door to door against my unbelieving husbands wishes. Their answer was that either Dean will just give up or he will leave. I have 3 small children and I was trying to picture raising my kids all by myself and explaining to the girls that Daddy was bad and wouldn't let Mommy go door to door so I had to leave that bad man.
My mother and father were broken up because of the religion and I know what it is like to grow up in a broken home. NO THANKS!!! Especially when these dad's are really great fathers.

tonights memorial

.

a scripture was read during the talk i never thought of before, 1cor 11:26 which says:"for as often as you eat this loaf and drink this cup, you keep proclaiming the death of the lord, until he arrives.".

if he arrived in 1914, why do we still "eat this loaf and drink this cup"?

Witnesses still believe that Jesus will return when "every eye shall see him". In a sense that would make him have two returns. I don't get it either, but this is what my faithful mother told me

anybody heard this new talk going around at the moment - it is the last talk on sunday afternoon and it is about depression?

The elders will still have to have a talk with those that are seeking help.....just to make sure they know to be careful what they say!
What help is that?

Memorial

2. relationships
had other things to deal with.. .

i was just wonder ing whose going to the memorial this year.. i got this email from my uncle today and i've decided i'm going only so my kids can see their family.

if you love jehovah miss your extended family want your children to have everlasting life its not hypocritical.
moanzy

I'm not going because they would all be appauled if I went anyway. I think I will stay home and cook a nice Turkey with all the fixings for my family and I KNOW Jesus knows the predicament I am in and will understand my not participating in it.

Having a family still in tact after the JW thing
knowing I'm not alone and not as wrong as I thought
waking up knowing I can enjoy life without continuous guilt
realizing my neighbors are just people too and actually have real feelings
experiencing real sports for the first time ever (bowling league)
Oh the list is endless when you have never experienced anything!!!

When my little 2 year old wakes me up and asks me "mommy, how do you make breakfast"?, when my 5 year old laughs at the things that my parents believed and wouldn't let me do because they thought it was bad(b'day parties), when my little 3 yr old gives me a hug and tells me "I love you mommy"

New OM book: Trusting the faithful slave is full of loaded language
by truthseeker in
1. jw
2. friends
why trust the faithful and discreet slave.

our trust in "the faithful slave" is also manifest when we support the organization with our material contributions.

three more keywords here: trust, manifest, material contributions.
moanzy

If you tried to look at the perspective of the supposed "faithful and discreet slave" it would look like God is blessing you.
They have millions of $ invested and in property. The money keeps coming in. Also God MUST be blessing them since look at how people will follow
them by just printing a book or giving a talk telling people "they" are God's chosen ones!
I wish that they would come down to the real world and see the tragedies unfolding in every JW's lives every day and then try and tell everyone that God is blessing them.
