I guess men were created to follow the lead and not take the lead in certain circumstances in life. If there is a female around, then being the HEAD brings on a whole different meaning!

Man vs. Woman
by somebody inif the wbts inc have done anything, they have insutled men just as they have insulted women.
while they implied that women are evil and always trying to induce man into evil, they have implied that men's brains are in their genitals.
in that that view, the wbts are part of this world.

It does not matter what was PRE 1980's. Family ties have ALWAYS been broken in a cult such as the WBTS INC. because what they teach INISIDERS is opposite than what those INSIDERS will turthfully admit to outsiders. Just as adherents to any other cult will do.

And the ole COWS AND BULLS article should speak volumes.
I think all you men should speak up !

Jesus came in 1874 and then changed to 1914, no problem, per FDS
by garybuss inprefatory note .
(to watch tower reprints wtb&ts 1919) .
the watch tower is unique among all the publications in the world.

If you read the WBTS INC' s "spiritual food at the proper time", Jesus returned twice already. In 1914 and again in 1918. ( and that isn't counting the year 1918 when Jesus actually did something! ) This is what "it" has been feeding it's followers since way after "it" changed it's mind about 1874!
If Jesus' return means "parousia", then that would mean that Jesus keeps returning and then disappearing,again and again. For his invisible return is supposed to happen for at LEAST a third time in the future, according to the corporation with special insight into advanced knowlegde that no one else has.

((((((((((((hippikon)))))))))))))))))))))),
You have a very special place in my heart. And if ever the two words "honest" and "salesman" would ever be put together, you'd be why the two words were put together in my opinion, and through my personal experience with salesmen/saleswomen.
A job in sales is a very hard job for honest people to be in.
I hope all is well with you and yours!

The two baptismal questions
by version 2.1 inhey folks:.
does anyone know where i can get my hands on the two questions that baptismal candidates have to answer?
you know, the "have you rejected the sinful course etc etc" that we had to stand and answer before getting baptized?.

Not sure, but this might be what you are looking for, version 2.1 5/15/1970 Watchtower 20 Two questions which do search out the heart and mind of each candidate are: (1) Have you recognized yourself as a sinner and needing salvation from Jehovah God? And have you acknowledged that this salvation proceeds from him and through his ransomer, Christ Jesus? (2) On the basis of this faith in God and in his provision for redemption have you dedicated yourself unreservedly to Jehovah God, to do his will henceforth as that will is revealed to you through Christ Jesus and through God?s Word as his holy spirit makes it plain? Those who answer ?yes? audibly to these two questions so that the other persons present may witness their affirmation of dedication may appropriately be baptized. 6/1/85 Watchtower At the close of the convention baptism talk, the baptism candidates will be in position to answer with depth of understanding and heartfelt appreciation two simple questions that serve to confirm that they recognize the implications of following Christ?s example. The first question is: (1) On the basis of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, have you repented of your sins and dedicated yourself to Jehovah to do his will? (2) Do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah?s Witnesses in association with God?s spirit-directed organization? Having answered yes to these questions, candidates are in a right heart condition to undergo Christian baptism. Perhaps you'll notice that the HOLY SPIRIT is missing. Nothing like replacing GOD'S Holy Spirit with 'yourself" as an organization as the WBTS INC did. I often wonder why they didn't just print "in assocaition with the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society Inc. of NY. For their is absolutely NO DIFFERENCE in what they printed. peace, somebody

Elsewhere! You never fail to make us all laugh!
We can't be responsible for what dreams we have, right? ( please say yes! )
You asked....
Could I be DFed for this?
Well that all depends. Questions would have to be asked and one would have to refer to what the
Society saysBible says in order to handle the personal matter.Question # 1....Are you married?
peace,

Hi Kryia, and WELCOME!!!
Thank you for sharing your story with all of us. It IS VERYinspirational. For whoever it was who told you that you are a strong person was right!
On another note, I agree with whoever it was who said that there are just some non-JWs who don't care to understand because they just don't care to. Not that that's a bad thing, but for some, it is. It depends on what your relationship with that person is. Sometimes WANTING to understand is necessary, depending on what the relationship is. That's my view anyway. Because some habits and ways of thinking from being in such a high control group such as the JW sect are just a constant inner battle to leave a person. DOH!!! Am I making any sence?
Anyhoo....I'm gald you're here and it's nice to meet you again. The last time I saw you, it was the year 1979!
peace,
