Three elders show up "to encourage me" after 10 years!

by Wasanelder Once in

"hey brother wasa, come on back to the meetings.

" (after 10 years) so i respond that the situation with pedophiles is out of hand.

they tell me "we" elders have received tons of training on the subject, its not like it was 10 years ago.

It was probably a box ticking exercise. Right, who's next on the inactive / DA / DF'd list...?

Impossible conversation: Jesus and Nicodemus: YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN

by Terry in

i am a member on new testament scholar bart ehrman's blog, and the professor is currently outlining a new book he is writing about false memory and the life of jesus.. an interesting post occurred today in which he gives an example of a very famous scripture,.

example of a false memory of jesus teaching i turn to a famous passage in the gospel of john, jesus dialogue with nicodemus (john 3:1-15).

nicodemus is said to be a jewish leader who comes up to jesus and affirms that jesus must come from god because of the great things that he said to have done.

They're spying me on facebook

by cookiemaster in

most of you have probably seen the apostasy trial video posted on youtube (and all over social media) recently.

well, there's a "wordly" woman from another country that i had worked with some time ago and she's posted it, tagged me, and asked "wtf?

", knowing i'm a still a jw just for family reasons.

No facebook works just fine for me. never had an account, never want an account. I cant understand the appeal of having people i dont know or even people i do know nosing thru my stuff.

Huge Shift in Doctrine?

by Lemonp in

i am not sure why more people aren't talking about this?.

the march 15 study edition of the wt has some major changes!

- all unbiblical "types and antitypes" are now dropped.

Witness My Fury

I dont know why but every time i read the thread title it says "Huge shit in doctrine" and I have to reread it.

Another "reaching out" guilt trip this weekend, apparently.

by OneEyedJoe in

i just got word that the brothers of my congregation is "encouraged to attend a special meeting" this saturday.

i was told to bring the od book, and the 9/15/14 and 4/15/15 study wts.

judging by the articles in those, it's going to be another guilt trip to get all us dead-beat kids in our 20s and 30s to "reach out" to be jr. cult leaders.

Witness My Fury

I had those sort of meetings a couple of times, it is either pre or post CO visit by a few weeks i reckon, it's just the local BOE trying to show or take some initiative in "encouraging" i.e guilting the dick swingers to reach out.

Why did God permit Scriptures to be corrupted?

by economy in

if someone informs you that your shop caught fire, and firefighters are on the job, you will run to the spot.

however, if you had already sold that property on the previous day (which this messenger is ignorant of), you are likely to respond, saying: shop is not mine..

situation is same with god.

Witness My Fury

It isnt, but it give them the warm and fuzzies.

And when they get called out and kicked they get the persecution warm and fuzzies too. Win win for them.

Warm and fuzzies have a lot to answer for!

They cant help themselves, they are in a cult and think they are doing good work trying to recruit others to join their sad little cult. Sound familiar? Yep, we used to have a similar idea when we were in our cult too.

This forum is aimed squarely at people who have a connection with JWdom. Other cults coming on here to try and recuit to their brand of crazy just doesnt sit well especially for the many on here who have or are exiting the JW cult. It smacks of deliberate targeting of vulnerable people and that just pisses me right off.

However much the BK team tippy toe around around being too overt, they eventually crack and the posts get far more aggressive and culty. The only reason they are here is to preach and recruit, they have nothing to offer here at all in the way of support or shared experience.

I too have had those feelings about this poster cofty, but didnt say anything as we'd just had the other BK cult recruiter kicked off.

The timing of economys joining didnt go unnoticed though.
