it hasn't been till the last couple of months that i have even given a passing thought to jw apologists.
as welcome as they are to post their opinions, i am struck by something that i recognize in myself and others as i reflect on my jw past.. basically, there comes a certain point, where if you are going to stay a jw and you are of a bit more "liberal" mindset, that you will try to change the focus a bit.. i recall this happened to me.
as a ms, i was very gung ho for most jw dogma and ways of dealing with people.

Not sure where AE is in England but I just found a KH in Berkshire. I'm sure you can find them.
I know my old congregation was listed. It was in a popular tourist city and used to get a lot of visitors.
does anybody know how many annointed are left alive??
our friend who was one of the annointed has died, i cried so much but then i was excited knowing shes in heaven meeting apostle paul, peter and brother knorr etc....wow how great is that :).
unsure how many are left though :((.
LOL at Outlaw.
Want to bet how long until they stop publishing the number of partakers. With the number constantly increasing not sure how long the latest "new light" on the anointed will last.

It wouldnt surprise me if AEs cong gets a local needs sometime soon about these websites etc. Word is surely going to get back to an elder who is going to lay down the party line on going on these sites.
Thats if they have local needs now - I've proudly not been to a meeting since the changes.
on atj's thread about making jw's seem "normal,' outlaw asked the questions:.
what the hell are a bunch of jw ladys doing in the wilderness... .
driving around in a beater car?.
AE - what was wrong with the jumper?
i can't take credit for this but here is a list of songs in the new songbook and comparisons to old songbook.. .
new song # and title old song # notes.
004 - making a good name with god 037.
Missed this thread last week. Shame it got hijacked.
can't believe the song about the elders. Glad I'm never going to have to endure singing that one - what a load of BS! Although, I think that if this had come out when I was still in I would have refused to sing it - elders were the bane of my life ever since I was a child.
Thats because you need to pay to get into the Thomson directory.
You will find them in the usual BT directory if they have a phone line.
i was talking to a baptised friend, and they dont like the idea of me being on here..i told them that ive mentioned it to an elder and that a few know im here,afterall im heeding the warning .
anyway, i explained to them that we are drawn out by our own desire,its whatever is in our heart....... hmmm did that come across ok???
so what im saying is yes negative thoughts or comments whatever we are warned against can harm us but its up to us what we listen to and if our heart is right we shall remain in gods love.
AE not sure if you've answered this before but how long have you been a JW?
You seem to be shocked by quite a few things which makes me think you've not been one for very long. Taking a blood transfusion would be a d'fing offence if the person was unrepentant in taking it as not taking blood is up there with not comitting fornication and the like.
Yes God is understanding and loving but are the elders who sit on judicial comittees?

When I first came on here I hadnt been going to meetings for a while but I still thought that it could be "the truth".
After a few visits and reading the various threads I realised that it was all a con. I wonder how many of us there are that are like that....
