So now the GB become the FDS and become the leaders of the whole thing. They can tell everyone what to do/what not to do, including the anointed.
Yet Jesus said in Matt 23:10 "Neither be called 'leaders', for your Leader is one, the Christ."

I'm so glad the anointed were 'demoted'.
by a watcher innow they can mingle inconspicuously with the 'other sheep' without being 'made an example of' (for better or worse)..

Welcome Ed. JWfacts is a great place to get any info
Try this:-
http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/salvation-only-for-jehovahs-witnesses.php#L1
Also about birthdays. JWs will only mention two, Pharoah and Herod both had someone's head chopped off. They do not mention the children of Job who celebrated their 'own' day. Whether it was a birthday or not, it was a 'special' day for each child. Job 1:4 If Job's children could celebrate their own special day why not us today?

My life ... and how JWD came to be - Part 5
by Simon inmy life ... and how jwd came to be - part 1. my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 2. my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 3. my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 4. i swear, i thought it was only a couple of years at most since i wrote part 4 of "my life and how jwd came to be".
i re-read it after someone posted to it and brought it back on active topics and it was kind of prophetic in a way ... well, i had the 5 years part right if nothing else:.
it would be nice to visit the site (or whatever one is around then) in 5 years time to let people know how we're doing and find only a few of the same people still around.

Why won't JWs have "civilized" debates with home owners?
by ilikecheese init seems kind of crazy to go to someone's house touting your religion as truth and then not even defend your own beliefs.
why do jws stop the chat if someone just tries to calmly reason/debate with them?
i'm not talking about crazy preachers who start slamming bibles and yelling about how they need jesus or something.

When I was young before I became totally disillusioned I actually used to enjoy having a good debate. It was far more interesting than knocking on empty doors or having it shut in your face. Thing is the ones who really knew their bbles came up with lots of stuff that got me thinking. I especially remember one guy (even remember the house) who made a point of asking why we believed Jesus was Michael the archangel. I didn't know so I said I would think about what he'd said and compare it with our teachings. I went back home and did just that. I never believed it since and it was another brick taken out of the wall.

It's great to read your story Simon! Are there any updates since you posted the last episode? Did you get your citizenship? Have you had any contact with any of your JW relatives in England?
Thanks for sharing it.

Signs of a Cult.. William Branham Cult
by tornapart inthis is very interesting, this guy was a cult member for 37 years.
replace 'william branham' for jw and you can see clearly what a cult really is.
he uses 10 points from steven hassan's book 'combatting cult mind control'.

They lied to you Jack......
by Tech49 inmy name is jack harper, tech49.
new here, been lurking for many months now.
a brief history:.

Welcome Jack. I'm with you on this one. I've been 'awakened' for a year and a half now and I'm still 'in'. I understand exactly what you're saying. Some can just walk away without a backwards glance. For others it takes time... a long time even. I'm finding that the longer I stay in, the more chance I have of helping my family and friends see behind the curtain themselves, it's not something that can be rushed.
I look forward to your experiences! :)
