  Full Preterist/ Covenant Eschatologist. AD70 saw the whole fulfillment of the Olivet discourse, the Parousia, and the entry into the New Heavens and Earth. Wild eh?, well, understanding Hebraic metaphor, and a bit of greek helps. So, what now?, you've gotta be kidding right? on youtube will whet a few appetites. Sorry I am a total techno-phobe so if anyone watches it and can provide a link that would be super-duper.

  at the special assembly day (s.a.d.

  ) last weekend, the district overseer had us all read matthew 5:22, which in part says, "whoever addresses his brother with an unspeakable word of contempt will be accountable to the supreme court; whereas whoever says, you despicable fool!

  will be liable to the fiery gehen na.".

  hi im from the uk im 42 years old , i was brought up as a witness from birth to 12 years of age i left the meetings with my parents ,.

  i had a wild youth was a bit of a rebel involving alcohol ,drugs , heavy metal and motorcycles , i was thrown out of home at 17 my sister was 14. and was discarded as my parents remarried and neither of there new partners wanted us (baggage) , anyway by the time i was married and 21. somebody spiked my pizza with lsd (cant remember the flavour ) and for the next 3 days i thought the world was ending , i called my dad and rambled some stuff to him ( cant remember exactly but the world was ending in my head) a little while later i got a witness call briefly , i found out where he lived and went and asked him for a bible , he suggested i have a bible study me and the wife took the offer and so it began again , i was baptised in 93 and went from strength to strength in the truth , aux pioneering , volunteered for everything , talks , cleaning , meeting parts etc was soon appointed and moved on giving public talks , assembly parts , shepparding calls etc , then in 1997 my wife fell down a kerb and damaged her cruciate ligaments several operations later and disabled ( by the way the brothers /sisters in the cong were great at this point ) my wife began to act odd 1n 1999 she tried to take her own life and over the next several years took 26 overdoses and spent much of her life in phychiatrict hospital in 2001 she was bi polar disorder type rapid cycling (not the common oh i feel a bit low type bi polar but the full blown rollercoaster ride bi polar) .

  the thing that struck me was i began to feel like a leper and despite a couple of close friends nobody in the cong or on the circuit( long time friends) seemed to care , i brouht up the kids on my own visiting my wife in hospital and caring for her at home , i felt so alone , when i used to take the kids to the meeting / assembly on my own i just got tutts and sad headshakes "she not come" ?

  Armageddon Fatigue

  by phil the fish filleter in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  when i left the cult some years ago the response from the local jw's was venomous.

  things have been changing lately, a number of elders have actually taken the time to engage me in conversation.

  these tend to be those that were told they would never go to school let alone grow old.

  Interesting isn't it how this could be having more impact than all of the other massive problems they are confronting. They are being driven into the ground, literally.

These tend to be those that were told they would never go to school let alone grow old. They are very dismissive of and struggling with some current policy.

  One in particular a former PO when I asked him about Armageddon could only laugh.I was quite saddened really at how beaten down he was looking, I wonder if anyone else is seeing this fatigue setting in.

  Shunned while my Son copes with Cancer.

  by phil the fish filleter in

  hi guys, i am known to some on here and to prevent further problems from the trolls that may identify my son from what i am disclosing i have a different name.

  so, my 26 year old son gets the diagnosis ocular melanoma back on june 14th this year with a very bleak outlook.

  i walked away from the cult some years ago, however my son stayed in as he was engaged to an uber witness girl.

  That's the issue isn't it doc. I would love to be able to explain this situation further the trouble is that if I did that my sons position would be compromised. He is no more a JW than Donald Duck, however, he's married into a fanatical JW family, and walks a tightrope trying to hold his family together.

  I warned him when we left the cult how difficult this would be, the fact they are using his illness as a lever to force him to conform is what I am trying to expose here.
