  I'm not surprised that's what she (and many more J.W.'s) believe, based on the G.B.'s recent Watchtower propaganda which stated that all "anointed" J.W.'s on earth will be evaporated up to heaven before Armageddon starts - in order for them to have a share in the mega-slaughter with Christ.

  If it's in the Watchtower, it must be true! (at least for a few months - until a new light says different!)

  i decided to join this forum as have been lurking awhile.

  there are lots of interesting topics on here that appeal to me.. i have been a witness for almost 3 decades and am very disillusioned with the organisation at this time.

  i am beginning to see it in a new light as i am getting older.

  Welcome to the forum UTC. Good to know that J.W.'s continue to lurk/join due to "mother's" abuses.

  I hope you'll quickly appreciate your freedom to discuss information and express your thoughts here - something which is sinisterly forbidden by the WTBTS and labelled as "independent thing."

  the magazine cover below is their latest edition of 'believer's voice of victory'.

  the quality isn't great so i've transcribed the lie below.. healed of autismwith two young autistic sons, deborah and christopher mcdermott faced each day with little hope of ever having normal lives.

  "There will be no more oppression, poverty, and hunger."

  I wish the "faithful slave" would make up its damned mind!

  Their version of the millennium is going to be hellish, so where's the good news?

  I'm on the same page as Cofty.

  Are there people in seriously powerful positions who are trying to railroad the inquiry for "personal" reasons?

  Such concerns have been raised regarding the horrendous scenario in Belgium. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2002/jan/25/worlddispatch.dutroux

  #1 Are you favoured by the elders in your congregation?

  #2 Does your monthly report show that you're doing enough to support the org?

  If 'Yes', excellent! Your obvious "spiritual" qualities demonstrate that you deserve to be elevated selected by the holy spirit to be "an appointed man!"

  Don't be overly concerned about "widows & orphans" - either before or after your promotion.

  Why Marrying An Outsider Is NOT A Disfellowshipping "Offense"

  by Divergent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so yeah, i was thinking about this.

  marrying an unbeliever is considered to be wrong, but at the same time, it is not a disfellowshipping "offense".

  well, the reason is simple: there is more to gain than to lose by not disfellowshipping.

  Past experience has demonstrated that it was the J.W.'s rejection of the elders' counsel [command] not to marry the "unbeliever" which brought retribution, rather than the marriage itself.

  I know of a J.W. who has been "marked" and shunned by many in the congregation for getting engaged to a non-J.W.
