  watchtower saying that apostates are mentally ill?

  by worried in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  hi.

  i remember reading posts about a newer watchtower study edition, telling that apostates (or people plainly leaving the truth) were mentally ill. can anyone tell me what edition that was?

  i have searched through the forums for the last half hour, and either am i terrible at searching, or they have all vanished..

  I prayed and then there was a knock at the door ...

  i had heard about the mormons, but i had not been the least interested in them.

  in that 5 month time period from when i prayed to god up until the day i got saved, no mormons or jehovah's witnesses came knocking on my door and they would always come to my house on saturdays.

  anna looked up to see her baby brother falling toward her.

  As a JW Kid Were You Expected To Get Baptised By Your Parents/ Congregation

  by Hairyhegoat in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  here is a quote from a ex-jw about this subject, i myself had alot of pressure from my family to get baptised and finally gave in at 14, wish i had left them a present on the way out of the pool that floated..at the dudley assembley hall .

  i can't justify my entire family (parents, sisters, aunts, uncles, grandma) and friends shunning me because i chose not to uphold a dedication i made at twelve years old.

  sure it was my "choice" to get baptized.

  New 3D smurf movie

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there is a smurf movie coming in july.

  http://www.smurfhappens.com/ they look like the avatar in miniature.. do you think this time around jws will be able to see it, or are they still considered demonised?

  will there be a new generation of kids hearing about smurfs running out of kingdom halls, and will they be told about it by the overlapping generation?.

  i just found a danish article in "jyllands posten" (yea, the ones who printed drawings of muhammed once).

  i hope that my translation is ok, otherwise, please tell me if there is somewhere you dont understand it.. .

  jehovahs witnesses to be investigatedmembers are encouraged by the leaders, to cease contact with those leaving the society.. .

  almost chocked on my cornflakes this morning reading the story in my local paper, not too sure how to embed the link but the sutton guardian.co.uk will have the story now.. basically dave churchill worked for a local catering company and was moving a stack of tables with some sort of trolley and they toppled down landed on him he died 2 days later in st george's hospital.. i'd known him most of my adult dub life and he was an elder in my ex wifes congregation, he also gave our wedding talk, he is survived by his wife elaine , they never had kids.. during my dissent into "apostasy" he was selected as one of the elders on my jc because he knew me but during my jc he came across and as an arrogant,self righteous,argumentative down right rude pos certainly showed characteristics that i had never experienced before and along with his "mate" on my jc another bellend named stan rogers started this bad cop/good cop shit on me during the 2 weekends on meetings, the other 2 on my jc chairman geoff woodfield and rensford ming showed themselves to be decent men.

  3 amazing incidents have be felled these 2 men in the years that followed my jc, events that i've rarely mentioned much over the years.. isn't karma an amazing thing.
