  The Governing Body - Both sides of their coin

  by Ron.W. in

  how many can you think of.... they speak for god.. it would seem presumptuous to say they speak for god,.

  they are neither inspired nor infallible.. they are god's only channel for issuing truth here on earth.

  they won't be apologising for any errors/falsehoods they have promoted in the past that fail.. congregation members must be quick and apologise for their errors to avoid harsh discipline/disfellowshipping.. when they change a major belief/doctrine you must not complain or criticise them.

  Leaving update

  just to give you guys an update on mine and my son’s exit from the matrix.

  my son put on his instagram page he was no longer a jw and wished everyone a merry christmas.

  🎄💥😳the blocks/unfollows came thick and fast.

  Yes, I have faded successfully.

  I have fun blanking the ones who made my jw life absolute hell, and warmly greeting the ones I have time for.

  Two elders who were so abominably cruel to me and my family looked like they were going to burst into tears when I completely blanked them when they tried to say hello to me.

  The same two men literally hounded and persecuted so many families out of the congregation that they had taken a personal dislike to.

  I would say many of these 'hardline' elders can dish it out , but they go to jelly when they are ignored.

  This is just the way I have done it of course.

  But everyone's exit from the jw cult must be what is right for them personally

  Please NEVER stop talking about the 1969 Awake article. It messed up many young peoples lives, some of whom are posting here now.

  👍👍

  I totally agree!

  Since that stupid article was written I have gone from being a child to an adult to a parent to a grandparent.

  Everybody needs to know the shite they published and now try to hide!

  Try changing your beliefs whilst still a jw and see if they complain or criticise you..

  I'm sure you can think of more...

  Thank you for the reference - I was born in that year. Didn't realise it was so close to the end!

  Wasn’t the first time either. In the book he just couldn’t stay off that subject, and even after he had moved on from it he circled back to relate the story about humping Christmas trees.

  ..they had their hand on the door already trying to step in.
  I looked at them with the biggest smile and said, "No, thanks!" cheerfully.
  They were so CONFUSED! I wasn't following the programming.
  I then shut the door and waved through the window at them.
  And I never heard from anyone ever again.

  brain dead donors..

  Lloyd's followers remind me of my jw family who constantly say:

  'Even if you prove what we believe is not the truth, we will still go on believing we have the truth!!!'
