  When you were really "in", did you have a pet idea that would steer wt into divine favor?

  by prologos in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  wt writers ( klein) admitted at one time, that his majesty's doctrinal ship was zigzagging to find the right course, and many of us believed, that if we accepted the bible as true, cleaning up the teachings would establish the right bearing.

  so: did you have a hobby-horse idea you were riding?

  writing to brooklyn perhaps?

  the old fables and urban legends that there are hidden manuscripts in the Vatican that prove the WTS is being used by God, and that the Devil is so convinced that jw's are truly gods chosen people that he would do anything to get us to leave the faith etc, I believed it for a little whole, sad was'nt I!

  BEWARE - More force adding on FB

  by JRK in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  they are doing it again.. a new group trying to boost membership is adding people without permission.. "ex-jehovah's witnesses aka behind the veil of jw.org" added me this afternoon.

  they were bragging about how quickly they grew to over 2000 members.

  i quickly exited the group.

  he's recently re-added me again to his group without any prompting or requests, It makes little difference to me as I live alone and have been out decades but he has to be careful just adding people without any notification, people with families who are jw's in households where there is a doubter and where the jw's would be looking out for what kind of stuff they are looking at online etc.

  WT's expert on blood!

  by Joyzabel in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  the january 8, 2000 awake magazine published an article "the growing demand for bloodless medicine and surgery".

  this article has been quoted extensively by jws as support for their "scientific" justification for refusing blood products.. a quote from that article that is familiar to most jws and exjws is this one:.

  “all those dealing with blood and caring for surgical patients have to consider bloodless surgery.”—dr.

  Victoria Wood dies

  i'm shocked to hear that victoria wood has died of cancer.

  she was only 62, so sad.

  she was one of the first female comedians, and paved the way for the those women that followed.

  at no time did the elders ever mention apostasy.

  days later after a shepherding call which only covered child abuse handling they are being marked as if they are trying to get their own followers etc.

  so so sad.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ktm7fsqwrw.

  it sickens me to the core hearing this PoS banding around the word "mentally diseased" I wonder if he has experience of dealing or caring for someone who has genuine mental health issues.
