so, i think i’m going to be df’d, but elders are out of town and no decision has been officially reached.
what would happen if i sent a certified overnight letter and said that i was going to disassociate before they have their meeting??.
i know the two conditions are similar, but i’m just curious... dd.
DF and DA has the same repercussions and they would announce the same way from the Podium, whatever it is.
Just ignore their calls and fade away. Come to the real world and Enjoy the freedom. Educate yourself a lot about true happiness, nature and evolution. Everyday would fascinate you. My Experience.
good afternoon , .
i wanted to ask everyone here , what was your trigger to waking up ?
i have been waking up for a long time , but in looking back it’s hard for me to look at one event and say “ ah ha “ , i think mine is like a slow leak - like a crack in a damn - and then hold on , because after that it’s just a flood of information.
Also to add one more, I was advised to donate to the WT instead of helping the poor and needy. Man, that sounded very rude to me.
one of the most common "defences" of jw organization is that "the brothers" are imperfect yet still strive to follow god's word.
"sure, they make mistakes," so the argument goes, "but so did god's people in the past, including in bible times.
" the key point is their readiness to keep studying god's word and learning from their mistakes.".
redvip2000, Exactly you spoke my mind !! The Pope could very well defend their cruel Inquisitions and Witch Burning/Drowning , claiming they are imperfect
i was surprised that there are half (or more) million dollar estates the gb lives in.
gated communities.
close to the warwick site.
redvip2000 and Steve2, Thanks for the feedback. My wife donates to the WT on a monthly basis and I am the only breadwinner at home. We have a frugal lifestyle and I am trying to prove to my wife that our hard earned money goes for the GB's Luxurious Quarters, Chauffer Driven cars, 5 star Hotels, Child abused cases and Business class flying.

They are imperfect.... agreed but they are the only ones guided by the Holy Spirit, acting as the channel of communication between God and mankind, as per their own argument.
Then why the heck do they make false predictions /reasoning / claims ? So what is the part of the Holy spirit then ?

Does anyone have any evidence that the GB travel in business class when Flying ?
I had been arguing about this with my JW wife for a very long time and she vehemently denies it.
I had never flown other than in an Economy class, all my life and cannot afford more than that.
first of all, i want to say thanks to all of you guys who gave me advice on my first post.
it really helped and i will try to use all of it.
now, i been doing research on what is false about the jdubs.

607 BC and 1975 AD were my Saviors !!
i’ve just won the lottery!.
this will really make all of you jealous!
no truly, i won’t have to work again, enough money for all my needs and more, a lot more!
Someone, somewhere, sometime wins the Lottery and its very tangible. They get a multi fold for what they paid.
But religions are just scams. They get everything from you, promising you of multi fold returns, but never give back any.
the watchtower study is not real bible study.
it is a study to introduce wtbts beliefs,doctrines, and practices.
just think for a moment!
Bible is a book of ancient myths, superstitions, fables, Ignorance and arrogance.
And a bunch of Guys, self proclaiming as GB, translating and interpreting the Bible for their own advantage.
