  Ok you can start hating me now. Did she speak with those women personally or were they people on a forum that she never met in person? We all know that every story on a forum is accurate. Can one congregation have all that drama? If so it would be so sad. Though I agree with her premise, the info is one sided and I think people should have the chance to defend themselves. Hope it motivates someone to think twice, but I'm not buying every word as from a reliable source.

  Do You Remember The Days When The Society Would Say Everything Pictured Something About Them?😇

  when you look at the society's literature, it is pretty comical to see how important they believed they were.

  it seems to be not as bad under the new regime but they certainly believe they are a special people.

  lol

  Trumpets are conventions and horses are either literature or people. I truly found it amazing. Wasn't it just last week it was like that? Changed fast when the new GB took over. It was the drumming of 1919 into ever story in Revelation that made me throw up in my mouth often. Always went forward, what a dupe.

  I am in the US but Graham Norton hands down. Thanks BBC America. He treats his guests with respect and not worship. Having them on the couch at the same time is the best. Steve Allen was my favorite American host.

  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.

  2. bible

  the 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.
