New 'Generation' light? Its just the "Governing body being the Governing Body"
by dissed in
1. jw
2. friends
we used to have a nutcase of a friend in the jw's who was always saying 'off the wall' things.

he was exasgerating interpretations, making idle threats that he would 'bump off' a jw if they do him wrong.

nobody took him seriously, because he said these wacko things all the time and never did them.

On the move to real Kingdom truths!!
by trustsinJah in
1. jw
2. experiences
my fellow brothers and sisters!.

i feel compelled out of gratitude and love to write this little tale, not because i have lost my faith, but because i realize i am not alone, and as heb 10: 24, 25 states: and let us consider one another to incite to love and fine works, 25 not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together, as some have the custom, but encouraging one another, and all the more so as you behold the day drawing near.. i have never felt nor would i ever think that that scripture applied solely to meeting atendance.

the form of true christian love displayed by many here on this board affirms my faith in jehovah and lets me know i am not alone!.

Is this our fate?
by paul from cleveland in
1. social
2. current
is there fate?

if so, are we fated to be the bad evil slave?.

if the bible prophecies that there will be an 'evil slave that falls away and beats his fellow slaves because the master is delaying' doesn't that mean that someone has to fulfill that prophecy otherwise the prophecy would be false?

HOW I GOT IN, THEN OUT, OF THE SEWER

2. experiences
i was replying to flippers re: did you exit the witnesses due to injustices/differences with doctrine - both?

and i found myself writing my experience and it got a bit long so i am posting here.

i am sorry i cant tell you my story more specifically but we have been front-page news in our area to do with our beliefs and some of the steps i have taken more recently to show my disgust at the injustices have been unique so it would be easy to recognise me.

Did You Exit the Witnesses Due to Injustices / Difference with Doctrine-Both?
by flipper in
1. jw
2. friends
many of us leave due to injustices committed inside the organization.

i did initially.

i had doubts about some doctrines for years - but not until after leaving the witnesses was i free to be able to confirm my suspicions and see that yes, i did have valid reasons to have doubts all those years .
