  So,,did the WTS do the "oral" argument after all or was it waived? (I know their "written" arguments were done)?

  Jehovah Witnesses favor 'Babylon the Great' 'We had favour with the Jehovah's Witnesses. They wanted to give it to a faith-based organisation.'

  but the 7.5ha wattle downs property has now been sold to elim church and could soon house a new christian college.

  jehovah's witness minister george gray says advances in technology mean the property is no longer needed for running the church's new zealand and south pacific activities which will now be administered from australia.

  I Know A MS That Just Got Reappointed As An Elder After 5 Years And Still Thinks He's Not Qualified

  he's a very good man and recognizes his limitations.

  he still dislikes field service and considers himself inferior to the other elders.

  he has almost no contact with his disfellowshipped older son.

  Do the other elders know how he is, sounds very 'negative.' But is the elder body, CO, really desperate? How many elders are there in that Cong ?

  35 states? Many years ago there was one in Phoenix, AZ. But it didn't last long. I can't think that a JW school would last. In reality, JWs, as a group, can't handle any events or programs that involve 'real' life skills for long. Especially outside of the 'controlled' WTS.

  I can only assume this new Bible won't be out for awhile. Won't be available at this program? How can they ensure funds for this? Will they now have an additional 'donation' box' for these Bibles? They must have some kind of control on this, can't just give for free?

  So that's why they were just giving just 'getting rid' of those (old) Bibles out for free on the streets, the Manhattan Project, a while back!

  Was Your Leaving The Witnesses A Very Gradual Process Or A Quick One?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for me, it took many years.. even when i would read all the changes over the years from the "truth", i still would ignore it and "wait on jehovah" and try to be a positive force in the congregation.. eventually, i just couldn't take it anymore and resigned as an elder, and slowly but surely made my fade.. what about you?

  were you out, in a short or longer time?

  ?.

  10 years (starting from about '75) ,, in phases,, a series of location moves helped getting out of radar,,never df'd or da'd,,I knew enough of their methodology control to just leave without being vocal to anyone.

  The WTS is more of a 'cold' doctrinal group, not much emotion at all. They can just 'coldly' teach and believe in a 99.9% destruction of the world. They can 'coldly' DF people, including family. They 'coldly' face death in their denial of any blood transfusions.

  Their 'coldness' in their self-righteousness is eerie.
