  Like the telephone game, some things get might be getting lost or mixed up from person to person.

  If true, hopefully someone will resurrect this thread.

  Morris is a common enough last name. I would like the see evidence.

  Of course, I could see it now. New light: Only smoking other brands of cigarettes is a DFing offence.

  When did "The Truth" become "The Truth"?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it struck me that while the society and witnesses in general use the expression "the truth" for being a witness, it opens a can of worms..... i mean, when did the society become "the truth"?

  after all, as we well know (and feel free to list examples please), the doctrines and teachings, and procedures have changed so much since the organisation started, that what was once "truth" is no longer so and vice versa..... maybe the conversation between jesus and pilate was correct : "what is truth?

  ".

  That is a good thinking question to ask a JW.

  I'm sure official doctrine would say 1919.

  Sad. I guess the kids don't qualify to sit at the cart, so they have to wait in the car.

  The GB, including Splane, do lots of things above their paygrade. In the real world, they'd find it hard to function.

  i guess you are guaranteed to survive the "great tribulation" if you don't be a "kevin".

  my family members are doubling down on their fervor about meeting attendance.

  they are having an effect on some of my wishy washy long time inactive family.

  good afternoon,.

  i am writing to give you a quick update about our ongoing statutory inquiries into safeguarding and charities linked to jehovah’s witnesses.. as you may know, one of our inquiries is into watch tower bible and tract society of britain.

  we opened this inquiry in 2014. watch tower then initiated what turned out to be protracted litigation against us.

  How Many People are Living a Lie?

  by awokenjw in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the things i often wonder about at the meetings is how many of these people are actually living a lie or sinning in secret?

  and more importantly, how do these ones stomach it?

  in my case, i have secretly dated and done things disapproved by the wt with a pioneer sister in my congregation for years and we both go to the same meeting twice a week and pretend everything is perfect and nothing has happened.

  Before I woke up, if I "sinned", I reported myself to the elders, even private bedroom matters between me and my then wife. I was taught if I did otherwise, I would be destroyed at the Big A and God would remove his blessing from the congregation. I also didn't want to be a hypocrite.

  Of course, now that I woke up, I realize what a big mistake all that was! Never again!

  I don't know how a person can be an indoctrinated JW, especially a pioneer, and violate Watchtower rules. The guilt must eat such a person alive.
