another interesting find from galatians 6:1. notice the difference i have pointed out:.

brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently.

but watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.

Brothers, even though a man takes some false step before he is aware of it, YOU who have spiritual qualifications try to readjust such a man in a spirit of mildness, as you each keep an eye on yourself, for fear you also may be tempted. (NWT)

Koolaid-man: Are you receiving compensation from the WTBTS?

by Alfred in

rick: it's just a question... (if it's been asked before and you've already answered it, please disregard this post).

the reason i ask this question is the following... if i were a member of the gb and i wanted to discredit the "apostate" community or make them appear to be "mentally deseased", i would start by approaching a well-known "apostate" like yourself and offer him significant compensation in exchange for his/her role in making unsubstantiated claims against the wt, posting pictures of 3-person demonstrations (calling them successful) and making up colorful characters like johnny the bethelite.

i would also have him throw in the occasional false claim so that jws can easily say: "you see?

Yeh what is this guy always on about anyway? I always read his posts and i think something major has just happened, and it turns out to be a steaming pile of sensationalised horse shi*e!

Poll: What do you believe now?

by Lunatic Faith in

jw
friends

i have been noticing we ex-jw's are very different in our choices of beliefs once we leave the wts.

some choose christianity, others flee christianity.

some find they can't beieve in anything any more.

TimothyT

I believe in Jesus. My journey with the JWs has shown me how valuable the bible is in ones life and how following Jesus is so important in life (although I didnt learn it from them - All they were going on about what faith in some dumb man-made organisation) When i was disfellowshipped and was free of their mind numbing nonsense, it was time to start studying the life of Jesus and seeing how following him could help me in my life. Im rather enjoying it too. :)

Shredding the Organised to Accomplish Our Ministry book

by scotsman in

just read through the 2011 letters to usa boe and the 8 february one on disposing of old wt books/magazine struck me as apparently the co needs to authorise their disposal.

what really intrigued me was that the om book was required to have it's cover removed and the pages "shredded".. was everyone in the congegation asked to shred their personal copies too?.

TimothyT

Ahhhh sorry... i got confused. I was baptised in 2007 so i had no idea there were two books. Lol.

You arent missing much. I looked at it when i went through my questions and after that, i picked it up whenever i wanted to see how dumb the organisation had become.

Like i said, i shredded my 2005 version anyway, and am now disfellowshipped. Yipeee!!!

I shredded mine ages ago anyway, before i was even disfellowshipped. What a waste of time it was. Out of interest, which parts of the book did they want to remove?

SERIOUSLY is there one JW publication that you thought was good?

by TimothyT in

i liked the greatest man book.

i thought it was very informative and unbiased.

a good summary of the gospels.. .

TimothyT

Who liked this book?

I never read this book purely because i could not be arsed. When encouraged to read it by a brother or sister, i always responded with, why not read the bible instead?

Does 2 John 10-11 encourage shunning ex JW's?

by TimothyT in

i was reading john's second letter before in my nlt bible and i came accross the scriptures used to back up the act of shunning former jw's.

in my bible it reads totaly contrary to the way the jw's say, so i decided to get out the old nwt bible which gives exactly the same ideas.

here are some of my thoughts:.

TimothyT

Well said Mad Sweeney... I have noticed that myself. Surely the teachings of Jesus take precedence over Paul and all others.

I find it crazy how little Jehovahs Witnesses know about Jesus. Its shocking.
