The FIRST Memorial Ive missed in 41 years
by Londo111 inlast year, my last jw memorial, i listened to the talk as an outsider would.
the speaker strung unrelated texts together and for the first time, i saw that the interpretations made no sense.
afterward, i had a private memorial with homemade unleavened bread and wine with four people--three of whom partook.

The only time I dealt with a DA. The person told me he was leaving becuse he had to do something real bad. He did not want to be called a JW if he got caught. That was 15 years ago and I have now idea what he did. I guess he never got caught. Nor has he ever ccame back and became a JW again. Totally ADD

New Light(TM) is it to keep the JWs interested?
by punkofnice inthere always seems to be some new light(tm) trotted out at the long snorefest a$$embies.. do they do it to keep the r&f interested?.
feel a smug arrogance of being not only in a ''progressive organization(tm)'' but knowing something the ''world(tm)'' doesn't?.
do it for legal reasons to protect the 8 paedophile loving men in brooklyn?.

My thoughts! I think they are a cult and they do real well what cults do that is miss with the brains of their flock. Their motto is "Brain control is a terrible thing to waste" Totally ADD

First mention of "new light" may appear in July 15, 2013 Watchtower
by cedars ina trusted source informs me that the "new light" about the faithful slave is to make its first printed appearance in the july 15th watchtower, which should be available for download online three weeks from now, on around april 15th.. i'm led to believe that the references to the new understanding are made in such a manner as to suggest the "new light" isn't that new at all, which suggests to me that little or no effort is being made to explain the doctrinal connotations.
my source and i are hoping to get a key paragraph posted at the earliest opportunity.
watch this space!.

It reminds me of 1971 when the elder arrangment came out. Everyone was so surprised by it all. Thrilled that new light came out. What a progressive orgaization we had. On and On and On. Every so many years the WT has to do this to keep their flock from becoming bored. They will be chewing on this for years now. Eating all this up and thinking how wonderful the GB is in giving them this new so called light. It is the oldest trick in town. Keep them guessing. This way the flock will think they know something that no one else knows. Are we not great the wonderful.

Roberta804-Thank you for the complement. I don't want anyone to think it was easy to leave. It was not. But it is well worth the effort. To freely
think for yourself and think outside the box. YEAH!!!!
Lozhasleft- It is good to be back. My old computer monitor went out over a year ago and I told a friend at our new congregation and the very next
day he called me and said he had a used monitor he did not need and gave it to me. That and new longer cord from the router to my
tower I now have a good running system. Thank you for your concern . Totally ADD

The Hair-trigger Aposta-sense
by Londo111 inwhen you are in, i mean mentally in, did you ever unintentionally set of someones aposta-sense?
i was among close friends (so i thought) and i let my hair down for a bit and questioned whether the flood really covered every inch of the earth.
i asked, if this is supposed to be noahs eyewitness account, wouldnt the flood just cover the whole land as far as the eye could see?

You are dead on Emery. It's a cult! Or as I have said before "A cult is a cult because it is a cult." This was the big red flag that went up in my wife and me when we saw how the GB kept making themselves the center of our former worship in the WT. The last elder school I went to in Nov. of 2010 the last talk was how we should never doubt the dogma of the GB. They then ask the question "Do you believe the FS was appointed by Jehovah to look over all his belongings?" Every elder stood up and clap as hard as they could and shouted YES. That's when I knew with certainty to get the hell out of dodge. If it don't smell, look or taste like it is coming from the GB it much be apostate. Very, very dangerous thinking. Totally ADD
