Why Can't JWs See That THEY Are Violating The Scriptures By Their Behavior?
by minimus injehovah's witnesses are supposed to be "christian".
yet their acts and attitudes are anything but.
they look down upon anyone not a witness.

by megaflower inwe all know the wts has its own set of words and expressions that make them unique and sets them a part from other organizations.
lets see how many we can come up with.
i'll start.

Newbies & Lurkers - Let's Get to Know You - Please Tell Us Your Story
by flipper inat the suggestion of my sis named dinah ( thanks dinah ) we thought it would be good to invite newbies , lurkers , or any others junior members etc.
to tell their stories of how they got out of the jehovah's witnesses or what you dealt with before getting out of which you had to overcome !
life is hard- we all have our stories , but on this board are many caring people who will be here for you if you need a soft place to land after being controlled by the jehovah's witnesses mindset.

A CHALLENGE ...........WOULD IT WORK ??????
by Summer wine inmy husband and i have very successfully faded for about 3 years.
we would dearly love my daughter and her husband to question and research the organization and find the truth for themselves.. they know we dont go anymore and have issues.
but its become a taboo subject with the s-i-l after a discussion about child abuse, where he made it obvious he didnt like the the org being "criticised".

if your considering the memorial tonight, read this!
by burningbridges injust because i know it won't be read tonight, anyone who is going to the memorial this evening should seriously consider john chapter 6:53-57 before hand.
go ahead, research it in your little watchtower cd's... they will attempt to explain it away in with it's "broader" meaning and not its "literal" application.
the truth is apparent to anyone with open eyes, jesus instructed anyone who wanted to have a relationship with him to participate in communion, (yes you do need to evaluate your heart as 1 corinth 11:27-29 says, but this was not told to prevent you from partaking if you were not "annointed" it was said to make sure you knew the seriousness of your relationship with christ) the verses in john were not told to annointed ones, they were told to a crowd of jews, the "john class", the "other sheep".

WTF.... JW Official Website...1914 glossed over...GT in 1975 NOTHING!!!!!!!
by Alpaca inwtf.
i nosed around on the jw official website for over an hour just to see how they were handling some of the dates that are/were central to their understanding of bible chronology.. there was absolutely no significant connection made between 1914 and our current time period being the purported last days.. and, even if they did shoot themselves in foot with the 1975 debacle, presumably the 6,000 year anniversary of adam's creation, which would have been marked in 1975, would still be a significant date in the witness timeline that would help to bracket the last days.. the jw website's internal search mechanism brought up articles mentioning 1975 only in the context of general interest articles about animals, current events, and other "fluff" articles.. the lying bastards have completely buried anything and everything that would incur culpability.. without 1914 and the generation that "would not pass away," they are citing evidence for the last days that is so flimsy, i don't see how they can sustain any significant growth or keep young ones from bolting once they are old enough.
their "solid" evidence is the same old recycled crap about wars, earthquakes, famines, selfish people....yatta, yatta, yatta... that could apply to any time in history.. i hope we are seeing the beginning of the end for the borg.

ok so who exactly is going to the memorial this year....and why?
by Cordelia ini am, my dad is doing it, i'm going to their hall theyve just moved there (to 'help' out).
i figured its the one meeting i can't miss as i upset them by not going to any others at all, also ive made a point of not going to my hall and i won't let anyone know i'm at my dads.
my dad is actually worried i might 'be apostate' about it, as i once said surely passing on the bread and wine is like saying 'no thanks jesus!

I think I have to go to the memorial
by 4mylove inthe hubby tells me that a friend called him to remind him of the memorial this saturday.
mind you, they never call, they never write.
my hubby tells me that he may have to go in scrubs because he won't have time to go home and change, that he doesn't mind.
