personally i wouldn't trust the book any further than i could throw it, but it might be a good research tool to see if (a) those alledged cultures really to have the fable, or (B) that the WT twisted research to make it look like they do...

Questions by JWs in 1976

by Doug Mason in

in 1976, my friend bruce price was in contact with jehovahs witnesses who had become disillusioned through the debacle with 1975. bruce was the leading voice among the sda ministry in working for jws.

at the time, i was a member of the sda church.

although i left them about 25 years ago, to this day bruce and i enjoy a strong and genuinely warm friendship.. so, in 1976 bruce invited me to a meeting with one of the jws who was leading the disquiet in his congregation in dandenong (victoria, australia).

Over 4 months, still no response to this letter to the elders!

by Greybeard in

jw
friends

hi everyone, its been over 4 months and i have not heard a response from the elders.

i called one of them a few weeks back.

he said they sent it to bethel and haven't heard back yet.

Hi Greybeard

thats one hell of a letter and a pity the parties that need to read it probably wont.

It may be a hard thing to swallow, but your soulmate was not your soulmate. It was a relationship based on a lie of togetherness so long as you never deviated from the fairytale. To even question the tiny details of the story is to betray the soulmate-ness.

A true soulmate does not care if you believe different theories, facts, fairytales or stories to get through life.

If you come to terms with that, it WILL make healing so much easier, i can assure you.

My first wife, even though she came to despise me, still wanted another try after our divorce. BUT the condition was that I had to re-adopt the old beliefs and practices. She could only love me if i repaired the rip in the fairytale.

Most faithful Christians now alive are not members of that faithful steward class. - w2012 12/15

by 00DAD in

this was brought up earlier today on blondie's thread about this article, but it is so significant i thought it warranted it's own discussion.

here in the wt study article for this week is this remarkable statement: .

most faithful christians now alive are not members of that faithful steward class.- w2012 12/15, p. 9, para.

Aussie Oz

the evidence is plain to see.

evidently they have a problem with newer younger annointed asking why it is that they are not consulted, evidently they have a problem with the rising number of the annointed, evidently they are fearful of an annointed class takeover, evidently thay are consolidating their power

There would have to be more evidence of my claims above than they have for theirs...

Unbelievable Assertion!!!!!!!

by The Searcher in

we had our special assembly day this weekend.. what the district overseer stated in his talk totally stunned me, and made me feel sick to my stomach.

he said, "christ is directing us through the governing body, and we cannot get holy spirit except through them!".

i do not wish to reveal all my thoughts on his statement, but i pray to god that it acts as a wake-up call to at least some of the audience.. suffice to say that the gb is now the mediator to our mediator, and from now on, i will have to pray for holy spirit through the name of the gb!!.

Aussie Oz

I wouldn't mind betting they wont put in in print though...

'we never said that''

and that recording...''thats an apostate fake''

still up to the old trick of using the speakers at assembly's to deliver the koolaid

the journey of my children in awakening

by Aussie Oz in

at the request of some, i have gone through many of my posts of the last 3 years to collect all my methods i used to awaken my children to the truth about the truth.. from oldest to newest (i will do them in a few posts so its not an endless scroll thru).

had a bit of a chat today about the internet (which i know he likes to use at my place).

in his use of the net today i found one site he visited was one i had visited to get a pdf of a society publication.

Aussie Oz

Good morning all

thankyou for taking the time to read my 'epic'. It sure was an interesting walk down memory lane!

Please feel free to use the information as you need, i am so glad to be able to help others in some way. I will not rest of this WT addiction though until I am sure 100% that they are both never going back, pretty sure of that with my daughter, not so much for the son as he needs to do a bit more learning so that if he ever has a crisis later he does not go zooming back in for comfort.
