Are You Afraid To Publicity Express Your Opinion?
by minimus inare you reticent to express your opinion when it comes to religion or politics?.
when we were jws , we had to be so careful that we didn’t stumble anyone.
are you comfortable saying that you don’t agree with someone or something even if it appears you are in the minority?

Hello!
by Caedus inbeen reading here for a few years.. 4th gen jw, born and raised, served for a few years which was the catalyst for me.
the politics, backstabbing, slandering and coercive tactics in particular caused a constant internal struggle.
i started researching and focused only on the stories of ex-elders/servants to see if i was the only one - i wasn't.. the rest is history..

I also vote at elections ,am an Organ Donor ,and would freely give /donate blood if it wasn`t for my age excluding me. I also put my hand up and registered to be on Jury service also.
And above all being on an Apostate site like this where I hope i can make a contribution in some small way of helping someone THINK about something they hadn`t thought about before while they were JW`s ,whether they be newbies ,lurkers ,or just one of us who had never thought about that before.
I know I have learnt many things from you guys that I never thought about when I was a JW .
I thank you one and all.

Interesting That in the Regional Convention They Are Asking for More Volunteers to Bethel
by RubaDub infor those of us who could sit through the program so far, i did find it interesting that they are again asking for people to apply to bethel.. i happened to speak to a friend who called and asked him why they would do that.
his response was that, well, they need younger people there.. i guess once you are over 50 or something you are eligible to be sent out to pasture..

The more younger volunteers with no higher education ,and only the basic home schooled ? education they get can`t be a bad thing can it ? from our point of view.?
We have seen how much dumned down the literature has come over these past decades ,just how low can it go ?
The next few decades should be very interesting ,if they last that long.

Well the way Jehovah`s Witnesses have downgraded Jesus Christ and have relegated the Old Testament God of War YHWH / JHVH to the top of the Totem Poll in defiance of what GOD actually says in the Bible ,that " the name of Jesus Christ is the name that is above all other names , so that in the name of Jesus every knee should bend ( in worship ) of those in heaven and those on earth and those under the ground."
Phil.2: 9-11
So if any organization is guilty of being an Anti Christ it is the WTB&TS / Jehovah`s Witnesses

Beth Sarim and Beth Shan - other boondoggles
by Terry inif you were a religious organization publicly identified with predictingarmageddon soon, would you be motivated to build large and expensive edifices or hideaways in foreign lands?such as:a $ 1,425,400 property in which a welsh translation center could be maintained?.
this looks like a pleasant location for doomsday, doesn’t it?.
maybe just a fortunate location for.

So Jehovah God / Christ Jesus could inflict them with the Corona Virus to give them a taste of what the rest of humanity is going through before he starts the GT and then Armageddon.
But don`t forget this God of " love" is also going to let satan out of the Abyss yet again after the thousand years of Paradise ? has ended to mislead myriads more of humans to their destruction.

What to say to WT Publishers
by Anna Marina inon bbc radio this morning there was a 20 minute piece on jws and the child abuse cover up.
i am already receiving reaction to it from a number of sources.
it occurred to me - if you were giving ordinary members of the public a steer on how to deal with wt publishers what would you advise?.

Anna Marina , with all due respects I don`t view you one way or another with your beliefs in God ,that is your business and not mine.I respect you as a person no matter who or what you believe as far as God is concerned.
Now if i may get back to your OP ? I`m not sure what you expect to get out of your question :" When are you going to return to Jehovah" ? to an active Jehovah`s Witness. Is there a simple answer here ? or is it a loaded question for them to answer in detail ? I`m not sure where you are going with this Q.
Now as for God`s name Jehovah ,you do realize that it was a Catholic Spanish Monk in the 13th Century that took the Anglicized letters of the Hebrew 4 letters of the tetragrammaton and came up with JHVH ,then added some vowels to come up with the name JEHOVAH don`t you ?
Centuries old Churches throughout Europe and the Americas I believe and even here in Australia of a later date have the name Jehovah inscribed in stone on their buildings.
And the Catholic Douay version of the Bible does contain the name Jehovah ,in it though later catholic Bibles also contain the rendering Yahweh as the more correct pronunciation.
"Aid To Bible Understanding" printed by the WTB&TS first edition admitted that the name Jehovah may not be the correct pronunciation of Gods name however it was the name most commonly used or most publicly accepted at the time . ( or words to that effect )
So they weren`t interested in how accurately or true Gods name was pronounced they went with what was the more popular name.
You might ask yourself ,publicly accepted by who ? most commonly accepted by who ? None other than Christendoms Scholars of course , whoever else would be interested in Biblical matters .?
Anna Marina ,we are all here to expose Jehovah`s Witness errors and help each other move forward.

You guys crack me up , medications , zoom meetings , dressing up in your own home to zoom in ? geeez i`m glad I got out 27 years ago now .
What the hell am I still doing here on this site ? maybe i`m a glutton for punishment or I just cant help wondering what`s the next BS story the F&DS are going to come up with next , and the gullible R&F are still going to swallow hook line and sinker.
And an I.D. Badge ? to go on line ? In your own living room ? I just love it.
Or maybe i`m just starting to go stir crazy with this covid 19 thingy ?
Keep us entertained guys , we need it.
