dear mouthy and other denounced ones,.
you may find this double standard $%^@#@*&!
"in 1975, knorr made a remarkable and candid statement to the governing body, which confirmed his growing disillusionment until his death two years later: ["]'"there are some things i know --- i know that jehovah is god, that christ jesus is his son, that he gave his life as a ransom for us, that there is a resurrection.
I personally cannot think of a single other religion that has totally changed (and largely negated their old) doctrines every 25 years throughout their history the way the Watchtower Society has.
This is a tacit admission that things were so wrong that they needed periodic major overhauls, and there is no sign that the overhaul process is stabilizing.
Hence the need to throw away all the old literature.
You were so right james_ woods never a truer word was spoken
there are over 8 million jdubs and i would venture a guess that at least 20% to 30% are pimo.
in my opinion, the kingdom hauls are only half full for two reasons....many have left but the majority are pimo and any little excuse will keep them home and they will report their token ghost hours in service.
all it takes to stay home is being tired, too much school homework or i will go next week, no doubt many have taken part-time jobs and the fear of working the second shift and the guilt of missing meetings is gone.
" Do not put your trust in nobles Nor in the son of earthling man to whom no salvation belongs." Ps.146 :3“At that time, the lifesaving direction that we receive from Jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint. All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.” - Watchtower November 15 2013, page 20 par. 17
i have noticed some posters (with frustration) asking for information regarding the nwt in various language editions.
here is a list of some of the nwt revised language editions published so far:.
albanian; arabic; armenian; chinese traditional 2017; danish 2017; dutch-netherlands 2017; estonian; haitian creole; italian 2017; korean 2014; modern greek 2017; norwegian 2017; portuguese 2015; romanian; russian; swahili 2017; swedish 2017; ukrainian; vietnamese.. not yet published: .
When are Jehovah`s witnesses going to go D.2.D with their NWT of the Bible in Countries like Pakistan ,Bangladesh ,Indonesia ,Qatar ,Saudi Arabia ? just to name a few ?
Which countries are virtually untouched by any such " witnessing" in their over 100 years existence ?
What has the enthroned King Christ Jesus been doing these past 100+ years ?
The only "witnessing" ever been done by J.W.`s is poaching off what Christendom has gone and done before them .I doubt if their is any virgin territory they have ever gone into without Christendom having gone in their before them
J.W.`s are parasites .! Bleeding off Christendom .
do you remember the first time you found out "the truth about the truth"?.
yes, it was confronting, shocking and life altering.
yes it was hard to deal with.. but, along with that, many have said that they experienced a sense of thrill, euphoria, or joy when realising the facts about the religion that held us captive mentally and physically for so long.. it was liberating to learn some of the controversial teachings etc.
As others have already commented on I would hardly call it a " High" either .More like a "Low" having the rug pulled out from under your feet and just beginning to realize that all you believed and would stake your life on was not what it was cracked up to be .
I didn`t want to believe that it was just another man made religion , one that originated in America ? Could I have been that gullible ?
It was devastating at first , I had trouble taking in and believing all that I was learning from the first sites I came across such as Shaun`s site ,Free Minds ,and eventually this one .
Only when I stopped being a "Captive Of A Concept " (Don Cameron) can I say I am on a" high" and have been for may years now.
I thank you to all those unknown friends that have helped me to where I am now in a good place in my life .

judge orders jehovah’s witnesses to turn over internal documents related to childhood sexual abuse.

Exactly ! bennyk my thoughts also.
On the one hand they claim not to have a clergy Class to their members and publicly and on the other hand we all know that they do have a clergy class in practice.
The Governing Body act as "Popes"
District Overseers and Circuit Overseers are another level of "Clergy"
As are Elders in the congregations, all mimicking the different levels of Clergy in Christendom .
They show themselves up as the hypocrites they are .
he/she seems to cherry pick certain posts with a hit and run score but has never come up with a positive post about the organization he/she so loves to defend .?.

hi does anyone think that with the rise in abuse cases in the uk and the rest of the world and the w5 video as well as many others exposing the organisation that the society might use the loyalty to the organisation as brainwashing to keep people in?
they might say its all lies and an attack by satan and have to stay loyal and not believe any of it.
i bet quite a few will leave.
How about this: You come with something that actually jibes with what JWs practice and teach.
How about this Bobby2446 ?
Kingdom Interlinear Translation Of The Christian Greek Scriptures which contains the Greek Text and does not contain the name /word Jehovah ?
It does not contain the Tetragrammaton nor does it contain a Greek form of those four Hebrew letters that make up the four Hebrew letters representing the name Jehovah.
They just do not appear in the New Testament writings .
we were taught sickness and death is a result of the sin inherited from adam and eve, so why do animals get cancer?
they are supposedly still as big j intended, so therefore cancer is a creation by the big fella himself?.
just an exercise for one's who believe in the whole bible story thing.. (not me)... any others anomalies you can think of ?
Gen.3:20 States that Jehovah clothed Adam and Eve with Skins ,did he kill these animals to do that ? or were their dead carcasses of animals lying about in anticipation of their sinning and needing to be clothed ?
Also ,who were they hiding their nakedness from ? Jehovah ? He made them that way naked ?
Besides their was nobody else on earth to see them ?
who owns a kingdom hall is it the local people or is it the watchtower via the branch office.
so it's been over a month since i decided to grow a beard.
the mustache and chin have come in fuller than i ever imagined - while the cheeks leave me wondering if i'll ever grow enough hair to make it not look so wildly unkept and patchy (if anyone has any advice here it'd be much appreciated).
but in the mean time i'll give it another month and see how it goes.. .
Looks alright to me Bro....I`ve had mine a good 25 years now and mines all grey
