  I Do Not Understand Why JWs Leave & Become Catholics!

  out of all religions, catholicism, to me, is wrong and clearly could never be the truth.

  I'm with AK-Jeff on this. Can't say much for doctrine, but most Catholics I know are pretty respectable people.

  Nobody is talking about the Generation change!!

  every time i have raised the noolite on this, it is met with blank looks and no comment.. on the phone it has been met with silence while they wait to see why i am talking about it.. has anybody else noticed this - it is a trend that less and less witlesses discuss doctrines and teachings when socializing.. could it be that they don't want to acknowledge a creeping disernment that they have been strung along, and so the gibbering buddy can no more be trusted on this claim than all the other failures, or is it that they are afraid of being called apostos?.

  one elderly sister (90) who really thought she would never die, and is now, when i said i was atonished at the recent changes in 1935 annointed, generation and now no book group, just waited at the other end of the phone..

  "so does this mean you think it is all rubbish?

  Most curent JWs are too apathetic anymore to bat an eye over this...

  The WTBTS has created a mindset within its members, (either purposely or not), that keeps the rank and file from caring, (and questioning), things anymore. People that do question things, eventually leave.

  What Circumstances Cause Some to Decide to Fade or Disassociate ?

  by flipper in

  this morning in seeing another poster going through this particular dilemma , i thought it would be good to open it up to open discussion to see what various situations occur in our lives that make us come to the decision to fade / or disassociate ?

  everybody has different circumstances in their lives - so one size certainly doesn't fit all .

  everybody has there pressure points in life they can deal with - some cannot.

  In spite of what many say, d/a 'ing is a very liberating thing to do...

  That said, it is expensive. If you can't afford it, don't do it. Only when my entire family decided to treat me d/f'd, did I finally decide to d/a.

  i don't hate the people.

  i feel bad for many of them.

  i don't like the religion because it is a cult.

  I hate what JWs do to families. I hate their stupid blood policy. I hate their df'ing procedures.

  These things and many others...but not the people.

  Update on family reunion and other things

  by dawg in

  2. friends

  ok, it's been awhile and i thought i'd tell you guys what happened about the family reunion situation.

  to rehash... i wrote a letter telling all the jw's in my family that i wasn't going to take any crap off them anymore, that i would embarass their dumba#* if they treated me badly in anyway at funerals and reunions and the like.

  i told them i was going to bring information about the idiot jw's to every family event and i was going to get in their faces if they chose to treat me badly cause i refuse to follow the fools at the wtbts.

  Touch Me and Love Her Madly are my two favorites. Nothing beats the sound of those two songs on a good Quadrophonic stereo system! :)

  I actually have a quad CD-4 copy of the old Best Of LP. No more Shibata stylus, though...sigh

  hello friends,.

  i heard from a "brother" whose daughter is in bethel, that his daughter told him that there will be 'new light" released in january pertaining to "adjustments in understanding" of the generation doctrine.. does anybody know what this may be about?

  or what the change might be?.

  This leads me to wonder why they did the 1995 change the way they did.
  Did they think it had to be some inbetween garbage before the rank and file would
  accept the final change years later? Kind of like- "Let's confuse everybody, so they
  don't know how to react, then leave it for 12 or more years, then finally give them
  something new that they can say is at least easier to understand than the previous
  new understanding. They will forget all about examining how ridiculous the whole
  thing is. Besides, by then we can open the door for more anointed. If we do that
  now, they might examine our reasons."

  Bingo! Talk about a bunch of evil manipulative spin doctors...
