  The End of Circuit Overseers

  by scotsman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  is indeed apparently nigh as another poster predicted along with the end of the weekly bs.

  not sure when this should take place but i'm reliably informed by a family member that one of the uk's overseers was talking about it fairly recently.

  reduced to weekend visits by an outside but local elder instead.. i have no further info..

  Hello Edward Elder!

  It's great to see how many fellow Elders are joining the forum.

  JWD is an excellent "pressure-release valve" for everybody that is still inside of the Borg.

  Welcome!!!

  New Name For Watchtower?

  by sweet pea in

  1. watchtower

  .

  ok everyone, just some fun here - no i haven't got wind of any change in the pipeline but, if the watchtower bible and tract society were to ditch the name watchtower altogether, what would they call the watchtower magazine instead?

  all suggestions warmly welcomed......

  Hi Granny Grace!

  I didn't noticed that it was you!! I heard the conference call last night, and I understood your point of view: JW's probably use the name "Jehovah" as a method of control. However, something similar is mentioned by Steve Hassan in his book "Combatting Cult Mind Control". He was part of a cult called "The Moonies". Every time that he heard the word "moon", in his mind he thought about his Leader (called "Moon"), instead of the physical moon.

  After leaving the cult, every time that he heard the word "moon", he needed to remind himself that the Moon is the satellite of planet Earth! But he did it!

  In the case of JW's that are leaving, each one needs to remember that "Jehovah" is an accepted common name for God; it does not have anything to do with the JW religion. But that does not stop me and other people to keep using the name "Jehovah" when we reffer to God.

  Just my 2 cents!

  Have a great day!

  What positive aspects do you find about being a JW in the past?

  a couple of days ago, i posted a comment for a newbie like me (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/145459/2623555/post.ashx#2623555), and i told him this:.

  i try to focus in the few positive aspects of being a jw, and how that can help me to improve myself.

  i like to help people too, and that is something that i really enjoy.

  ?

  if so, how often.. do you still attend the memorial?.

  i never go, ever, and haven't been to a memorial in about 6 years (been too long to accurately remember) - i'm too far gone.

  I'm in the same situation as OpenMind. I assist to all the meetings .

  All of my family is still inside, and I need to be inside to try to help them open their eyes.

  Loves Dubs: I think the smiting is coming...slowly and surely. And perhaps our families will be freed in our lifetimes.

  I hope that too! Thanks for sharing your "anointed" story!! JW's acts really weird as you said.

  Have a great day!
