Me too, and in answer to a watchers question, because I belived the org, including Elders, represented Jehovah, I felt it was Jehovah himself driving me out.

17Who Was Stumbled By Wicked Congregation Participants? From Overseers To Rank-File.
by ÁrbolesdeArabia inok, a thread began with members who found their way out by "company literature" or "apostate literature", but what about thoughtless to evil actions by happy and humble witnesses?.
were most members caring, compassionate and lovings (john 13:33-35), which made coming to jwn diffucult, or did their conduct push you to seek anwsers here?
i had a traveling overseer tell me, "i am so happy you are enduring the wicked actions lodged against you, keep up the good work!

The Biblical pattern for things to come in this incidence of Jesus leading his people into Paradise whilst the plagues of Revelation reign on disobiediant mankind, was demonstrated when Moses lead the Hebrews out of Egypt and into the promised land.
The Egyptians were in no doubt they were being visited with divine plagues in that earlier type.
It is pure nonsense and self deciept to imagine we are living in the greater fullfillment of that most visible demonstartion of Gods actions to show his might to the Nations as he acted on behalf of his people, is God really that Impotent now that when you ask the average Joe in the street what he thinks about the plagues God is suppossedly reigning down right now, he will be totally unaware of it,
truth is, we are not living in Revelation since 1919, but when we are, then you are not going to have to knock on peoples door to bring it to thier attention.

Welcome Philips, do you like football?
You should really start a new topic where you can introduce yourself an dtell the folk your JW story.
As for Christian and in fact most dating sites, I think they are a con, you have to pay in order to answer initial messages, and so the site send out initial messages claiming to be from members in order to dupe you to pay up.
I was getting an extraordinary amount of messages evert day, whilst it is true I am exceptionally good looking with a body of a 19 year old athlete, it still seemed a bit suspitous so I changed my profile to claim I was an axe murderer and still got women sending me messages.

Well the following little lad has certainly been messed up sexually by his JW dad,
OTTAWA — The Supreme Court has ruled that a British Columbia man who tried to circumcise his 4-year-old son on the kitchen floor of his house is guilty of criminal negligence causing bodily harm, aggravated assault and assault with a weapon.
The top court was asked to hear whether his attempt was allowed under freedom of religion provisions.
The botched surgery happened in April 2007. He used a carpet blade that he purchased at Home Depot earlier that day and sterilized. He didn't give his son any anesthetic, just four ounces of homemade honey wine.
According to the Crown, the father lacked the medical skills to perform a circumcision. He tried to circumcise himself in 2005 using a Zhenxi ring, or circumcision ring. It wasn't successful and the father had to be rushed to a hospital.
The circumcision he performed on his son two years later wasn't successful either and there was significant bleeding, which the father stopped with the help of a veterinary blood-stopping agent and paper towels. "The result," according to court documents submitted by the Crown, was "the foreskin on D.J.'s penis stuck out like two arms. D.J. was not circumcised. He was disfigured."
The pair cannot be named.
In 2009 the man was charged with criminal negligence causing bodily harm, aggravated assault and assault with a weapon. He was convicted of criminal negligence causing bodily harm but acquitted of the other two charges. The B.C. Court of Appeal found him guilty on all counts, and he appealed to the Supreme Court.
The father, as a Jehovah's Witness, said he believes circumcision is necessary to "make things right with God."
The Jehovah's Witness church does not condone or forbid circumcision.
The man also argues he didn't intend to hurt his son and took many safety precautions including consulting doctors (who advised him against it) and reading about circumcision online.

How can you say the Palestinians are doing a pretty good job of defending themselves?
They are being driven into the sea.
The second map of 1947 is the legal position as declared by the UN, everything since is illegal.

No, not anymore, I used to work for them, then they were assimilated into the Norwich Union, now they are called Aviva PLC.
It was quite funny how many of us JWs got a job at the CU, I worked with a Pentecostal and he would see a new person start work and he would think he was being amusing when he would say, "I suppose shes a JW as well", myslef or one of the other dubs would look roung, recognise the new person and say, "yse, shes from so and so congregation", and the Pentecostal man would be aghast.

Ive worked out how the org can salvage not only 1914, but also the generation doctrine.
You see, unlike the ancient Egyptians, who were well aware of Moses presence and the plagues sent by God, we learnt from the Revelation book that the greater fullfillment of the plagues of Egypt, that being the plagues of Revelation, were all so subtle, in fact they where invisible, that mankind is totally oblivious to the sounds of trumpets and the wrath of God seeingly impotent as he hurls down plague after plague with not a single non-JW even relaising whats actually happening around him!
So, just as Jesus is also invisible, as is the rest of Revelation, well.....wait for it....Armageddon is also invisible, well was, as its been and gone, happened back in 1975, all those non-JWs are dead, they just dont realise it, its like an invisible death that even JWs cannot see, just as they cannot see Jesus, even though hes been here for 98 years.

Why is the Harlot not in the lake of Fire?
by rhodesboy inwill you receive your soul as a spoil?.
18 we need to remember that what jehovah has promised as a spoil is our soul.
even if a few of hisservants perish in the persecution that may come during the great tribulation when the political horns of the wild beast turn against religion, those faithful ones will not really have lost out.

The Harlot Babylon the Great, isnt Rome or false religion, this is just one of the many things the JWs got wrong, (false religion doesnt have a "Kingdom over the Kings of the Earth" and it doesnt control world banking).
The "Great City" isnt Rome, its Jerusalem, compare Matthew 23 with Revelation 18 regarding blood guilt and the death of the Prophets, its the same Jewish rulers and the same blood guilt Jesus attributed to them.
Now, the reason Jerusalem wont be thrown in the Lake of Fire I would guess, is that the Lake of Fire means permanant destruction, though Jerusalem will be destroyed as it was before, it will not be a permanent destruction, but God will rebuild it as his City.
