it is widely known that the roman army was the disgusting thing in the 1st century.
examine the statements below: 1. the dt was within the 1st century governing body in jerusalem.
take a look at the picture of apostles and elders in the "insight" book.
Welcome to JWN, we often have posters like you who give us prophecy interpretations. But don't tell us anything about themselves. Are you going to be one of those people? Tell us about how you found yourself here on this site? Tell us what caused you to get baptised as a JW and then want to leave if this is the case. Then you can express what has led you to your current beliefs.

ok so me and my husband were talking to his mum again about why we are no longer going to meetings and got into another pointless discussion where she feels he needs to talk to an elder about his issue's blah, blah, blah... round and round it went...... the thing i wanted to ask was if anybody had heard that there wont be any gb after these one's die??
this is something she mentioned today and we have never heard of this ever.
so it means no more will be appointed and they will just die off!
I think she is talking nonsense, like punky said there will always be someone to take charge, WT is full of pompass ladder climbers who have probably thought up lots of new doctrines to fit in with their own leadership.

Yadda,
I have missed loads of threads, and I come on quite regularly. It's no big deal that there are 3 threads I missed the other two, so I am glad. I have just done a search and couldn't find any of the threads.

Such a sad story. It's a shame that a 19 yr old can be so scared and mixed up during pregnancy that at the time of the birth all she can think to do is murder the infant. The fact that she felt she had no one to turn to and was so isolated is incredibly sad, so very sad.
I understand where Apogs is comming from, but isloation caused most of the problems IMO, there were no reports of her being diagnosed with depression or any other mental health problem.
She felt alone and killed her baby, terrible.

Great thread OUTLAW. WT really are thriving since the rebranding, good point. Many current JWs have got motivated to do more and are more zealous than ever. This strategy has really worked well in WT's favour. I couldn't see it before.
But we mustn't forget that also due to really stupid doctrines, new thoughts, shunning and lack of love JWs are leaving. We need to be aware of jw.org success but also balance it with the fact that many are still waking up and leaving.

i was publicly reproved last year and the elders have taken their sweet time in reinstating my "privileges".
it's been six months and i can't answer at the meetings or participate in the theocratic ministry school.
in all honesty- i don't care about the privileges.
You say you don't want to be a JW anymore. That's a start, JWs leave for all sorts of reasons but leaving mentally and physically is not as easy as it seems. WT is a cult and the things you have been taught about Jehovah, Jesus, Armageddon and many more can stick with you your whole life. If you really want to leave the best things you can do are research from jwfacts.com and formulate your exit plan. Then once you leave you will be gone for good.
I am sorry the elders are treating you like dirt, I have been there, they don't listen to a word you say and just nit pick, how can they really be guided by holy spirit?
Take good care

I am not surprised at the response punk. But we cannot get too disheartened JWs are learning TTATT and leaving. More than just on JWN, they are leaving be cheerful.

there's an interest point raised by stephen letts at around the 7 minute mark of the intro video;.
much of the equipment used to build the studio was made available by donation.
he twice mentions (once at the start of the video) the need for "support", which we can assume means donations.
All about the money..........yep!!!!!!!!!.Kate xx
i've heard about his bombastic, overly patronising, cartoon-ish delivery before, but i'd never actually seen it...until now.
and i should add, this religion bears little to no relation to the one i left 6 years ago.. .

Doesn't surprise me about the behind the scenes segment. They want to give the appearance of full transparency, I fell for it when I got baptised, but soon realised lots was covered up and fake. Kate xx
http://tv.jw.org/ is up and running.. see bro lett stumble his way through the introduction.
he really does have a good face for radio.. http://tv.jw.org/#video/vodmonthlyprogramming/pub-jwb_e_201410_1_video.
nice sweaty top lip at 15 mins onwards - the pressure is showing!!.
Rely on Jehovah is so vague it is meaningless.- Rattigan
