I understand your frustration and I am not surprised at your eating disorder. It is due to the stresses of not having any approval from the family or the congregation. Thank goodness you are not baptized, DON'T EVER DO IT. That is the safest course for you. Aren't there any fellow rebels in the congregation you can associate with? Though it seems slow, time will pass faster than you think. Apparently you have internet access so stick with it. You may meet folks on there. There are some here you may find have just the right words for you in your time of need. All the best.

You all seriously misunderstand. Which is better, for Sophia to use her money on ice cream which may cause obesity resulting in early onset diabetes, or on the noble cause of paying the Watchtower corporation so they can give it back in a settlement when she sues them for brother Perv messing with her? -

I can understand your husbands feelings. Time will help build his confidence in your determination not to get "sucked back in". You will have issues with your parents trying to slip JW crap into the life of your baby so that's a choice you will have to live with. Face it, its only natural to want to share your joy at having a child with your mother. So, lay down the law with her and take the higher ground by not flipping out at her irrational dogma rants. You can do this. Its not up to any God for you to be happy, its the choices you make. Good luck indeed! -

in 1917 a band of rebels took over the Watchtower B&TS. Its president had died and infighting erupted after a surreptitious corporate grab by Rutherford. To support his larceny he concocted a pseudo-Biblical support for his actions by connecting a wacky interpretation from Revelation to himself and his unwitting conspirators. They were the chosen ones by virtue of release from prison (miraculously of course) signaling divine intervention, wha-la! deal sealed. Now every Witness must accept this litmus test of loyalty TO THIS DAY that Rutherford was Russell's successor even though no one knows who either of them are. Somehow Jesus was seriously demoted in this gambit. -

Updated Chronological Timeline of the Great Tribulation -- after the New Light from July Watchtower
by FusionTheism inthe july 15, 2015 study watchtower article entitled "your deliverance is getting near", along with the jw broadcasting video entitled "gerrit losch: fortified by "the prophetic word," and chapter 21 of the god's kingdom rules!
book presented a large amount of new light or clarified understanding of the events of the great tribulation.. here i am presenting it in chronological order -- this is the governing body's updated chronological order of events for the time right before the great tribulation through armageddon:.
the final sealing of the anointed occurs just prior to the outbreak of the tribulation.

And Mighty Mouse shall descend from the heavens with eyes of fire as he calls unto himself the former members of the Mickey Mouse club thereby causing an abomination that shall last 4 years. Those of the Mickey Mouse club class will be deceived for well unto 2 months by the false Mickey. Only those who have their sacred hat sealed to their heads will inherit the thrones waiting for them in heaven. Woe unto those caught napping. ...just sayin. -

It happens. I don't know the guy. You do know that it is not unusual for people with a little education or a quick mind to advance in the Org. Frequently its a dimwit sycophant who advances but often those who are clever outmaneuver them for "greater privileges". I guess we have to take his word for it. (wink)
