Interesting observation: As time goes on......it seems the jehovah witness will be shortened to JW

by goingthruthemotions in

maybe it's just me, but i do believe that the jehovah witness brand as we know it will be solely jw or jw .

org eventually.. the reason being is because if you do a search on google or youtube for jehovah witness.

so much bad publicity.

I can see that happening .. "The cult formerly known as Jehovah's Witnesses" 😂

since i woke up one year ago , i've been doing a somewhat controlled fade , the experience i've had has been a very solitary one , i don't mean by not seeing anyone i know because i know hundreds in several congregations and i was an elder .

but just coming to terms with the fact that this was no longer the solution to life's problems, that i'd wasted so much time, that as i sat in the kh and heard everyone comment, my heart was no longer in it , i no longer fitted in ..... i felt that they were in the congregation all under the spell or some form of hypnosis from the wtbts,.

it was like for the first time in my experience at the kh , that i was the only one to see what was actually going on , the indoctrination, the guilt tripping, i could see it all as clear as day , and yet i had as it where a metal gag over my mouth, i couldn't speak to anyone about it for fear of them turning me into the spiritual police.

My feelings exactly.

Be ready to obey!!

http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/w20131115/seven-shepherds-eight-dukes/.

from paragraph 17-. at that time, the life-saving 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.. i think i know what the instructions will be.it's nothing new.

The paragraph was specifically addressed to the elders, it's interesting to see that the WT knows how much influence the elders have. They know that their "brilliant ideas" can only go so far without the full support of the local elders.

After 50 years Zealous Service, My Elder Friends goes Inactive

by James Jack in

i asked him what happened.

he said "him and his wife lived a full theocratic life for jehovah.

doing everything the organization and the traveling brothers told them to do, like work part time, regular pioneer, serve where the need is great.

This is so sad, I feel bad for them. The WT is a snare and a racket.

by TheLiberator in

i have spent 45 years of my life sacrificing my soul to the watchtower.

twenty-five of those years as a ms/elder.

i gave every moment to them.

How I detest those "little monsters"!

We've all been duped and that's the reality, the length and degree to which we gave our all to the 'org' ... the more difficult it is to come to terms with it.

My "best" friend (active JW) has just died

johnny santa cruz and i met around 1959 at a movie theater in fort worth, texas.. the purpose of that meeting was to create a fanclub for horror movie director william castle.

a week or so later, johnny stopped me as i was walking home from elementary school.. "hey--i think i know you.

weren't you at the william castle fanclub thing?".

LettMorrisSplaneit

I'm sorry for your loss.

So... Are they done printing the number of partakers?

by thedepressedsoul in

during the wt study yesterday i had a confused look on my face the whole meeting.

more of a, wtf, face.

one paragraph says, "therefore,the number of partakers does not accurately indicate the number of anointed ones left on earth.".

LettMorrisSplaneit

The reason why they've printed the number of "annointed" is because it used to be an indication of how close we were to "the end".The fewer annointed remmant the closer we were to the "great tribulation" but now with the number going up the last few years it doesn't fit their agenda.

i wanted to write my experience on how my husband helped me see the ttatt (the truth about the truth).

first, let me mention that he wrote his own experience a couple months ago under the name sanchy.

for his story please click here….. http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5148261828526080/walking-thin-line-resigning-elder

I remember your husband's OP. It was heartbreaking. I'm so happy to hear that you're now awake, it's so much easier to get out when you have someone by your side. Thanks for sharing the good news and the great tips.

Another generation....

by joey jojo in

it has been 21 years since the 1995 article that pretty much buried the idea of the '1914 generation'.. remember those guys?

the ones born in 1914 that would still be alive when the end of the system arrived.. i'm glad i'm old enough to remember going from door to door, preaching this belief.

the reason i say that is because i have a lot of 'still in' jw friends and family.

LettMorrisSplaneit

Does anyone know where I can find a copy of this 1995 article? I would love to read it now that I'm awake. Thanks.
