new, nowhere to turn, ashamed & afraid
by azzazel inhullo everybody i'm new here, even though i've been lurking now for several months.. i have to say how afraid i am to post, afraid and ashamed but i feel if i dont tell my story, i honestly dont know what may happen to me or my children if they lose me, right now i feel like i've got nowhere left to turn and have my doubts about this place as well.. i know my story will shock you but i cant keep it in any longer.
i am recently disfellowshipped for immorality, the subject of a kingdom hall witch -hunt and subsequent congregational humiliation, .
during the process of the judicial committee meetings and proceedings no consideration was given to my real human circumstances nor to the spirit of survival nor human nature nor that of a mother seeking to protect her children from lack of basic fundamentals such as food, shelter and clothing.

by nicolaou inthroughout the history of the nation of israel as recorded in the hebrew scriptures, all of it's kings and priests, as appointed by jehovah god, were male.. while on earth, jesus obediently followed the rules of jehovah's organisation as it then existed.
he said "do not think i came to destroy the law or the prophets.
i came, not to destroy, but to fulfill" [matt 5:17].

A "New Creation"..
by kes152 infor those of you who want to belong to our lord, have recognized that we were "bought" with a price, there is something you all should know.. we don't have to get our 'answers' at all from men.
we don't have to seek "flesh and blood" to "come to know truth.
" we were "bought with a price" to belong to one.

The word "truth" .by the WTS
by MacHislopp ini hope youll like this one:.
to cope with the dissonance caused by past wt 'truth' becoming out-dated with new contradictory 'truth' metaphors are employed to subtly redefine the definition of truth.
the light of truth becomes progressively brighter, revealing new truths clearer than ever before and supposedly adding to, but not contradicting old truths (zion's watch tower, 2/1881:3).. however the evidence at many points indicates doctrinal contradiction, so more recently the wt added another metaphor for 'truth': .

the reason i ask is this: doesn't the concept of tolerating something imply a background negative?
for instance, i can say "i tolerate my brother-in-law".
