  by snakeface in

  2. beliefs

  one of the heresies of the wt is denying the divinity of christ.

  during this "memorial season" they say that jehovah (god the father?

  ) resurrected jesus.

  yes, you heard right.. as you know, most christian organizations publish and distribute little tracts with their gospel message.

  well they also make some that expose the lies of the wt, and explain how it is a cult.

  even if people are not interested in the "gospel message" in these tracts, the tracts do a good job exposing the wt as a cult.. now, those of you who are now agnostic or athiests or just non-religious, please keep reading, to understand what i plan to do.... i am expecting to receive $$ for christmas.

  2. beliefs

  i live in a rural area; in field service we had to drive from house to house.. i have not had any desire to visit any church for several years now.

  saturday i was doing chores in my yard - washing the car, etc.

  - and 2 ladies drove in, dressed like witnesses would be dressed.

  Qualifications for Elders & MS

  by snakeface in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we all know that elders and ministerials are appointed by holy spirit.

  i was in the organization for about 25 years and was in 4 different congregations over the years.. in one congregration there was a sister in her mid-50's with an unbelieving husband.

  he did not attend meetings.

  weird "shepherding" phone call

  by snakeface in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  as many of you know, i recently wrote a letter to the elders telling them to make sure the congregation stays off my property.

  in the letter i mentioned that i "left the organization several years ago.

  " i have not had any contact with any witneses for about 5 years even though i was not disfellowshipped and not even counseled; i just stopped showing up.. well last night a brother called me (not an elder, just a publisher) but i let the call go to voice mail.

  "You don't even exist."

  by snakeface in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  recently i remembered another example which shows how hateful and unchrist-like the witnesses are brainwashed into being.. a long time ago, when i was a pioneer, i was hanging out with a group of long-time pioneers after the district convention, in the stadium hallway.

  some had been pioneering for more than 10 years and therefore were considered to be spiritually mature.

  a woman who appeared to be a sister was walking by; she paused and greeted us and said something like, "what a great program that was.

  Church vs Kingdom Hall

  2. experiences

  some of you have previously posted your experiences of going to other religions' places of worship.

  i'd like to post mine, primarily because i think it would be helpful to any newcomers here who are still in the organization.. i no longer believe god to be an actual person or being.

  i am not looking to be taught or led or shepherded.
