i first noticed it today... slides up at the bottom.
i wonder why they felt the need to do this?
this is just silly for a religious website..
have you ever heard that statement?
i have heard it many times and i just don't know what to do with it.
they are chosing a to live a lie because they like the lifestyle.
Have you ever heard that statement? I have heard it many times and I just don't know what to do with it. They are chosing a to live a lie because they like the lifestyle. Besides thowing up your hands and walking away, how would you reason with someone on that?
I've gone from the angle: We got baptised because we believed it was the 'truth' from the Bible and all others taught falsehood.
and have gotten no where. Thoughts?
i have been lurking and reading for a couple weeks now.
i love the topics and it has inspired me to say hello to all my fellow apostates.
i was awakened to how my family feels about me and my wife shortly after the international assembly.
Hello Speed, It's nice to meet you. Its so sad (and typical) for parents to disregard their childs thoughts and action, even though the 'child' is an adult with decades of service to the Watchtower. You are not alone. Hang in. You will meet some wonderful people on this board. Welcome! Hugs, 4thgen
bibl3thumper has posted a youtube of the celebrations that took place for german delegates.

it's hard to believe that they are now using the kingdom hall to sing pop songs and for dancing.
i just turned in my resignation letter to my congregation a few weeks ago.
last week, 2 elders called me to say they received my letter and would like to meet with me to discuss my concerns.
in my letter, i said i had found out about all the child abuse cases that were going on and that i didnt agree with their policy of disfellowshipping.
Hi Justme,
So glad you didn't fall for it. They've been using that trick for a while now. Welcome to freedom! Hugs, 4thgen
the watchtower has been making cunning and calculated changes in the organization to gain more money, power and control.
jwn has a multitude of posts on the rapid metamorphosis of the watchtower into jw.org.
please feel free to comment and interject your thoughts.
Viodot: how about: A cunning and calculated plan, brought on by desperate survivalism. ????
Also, we forgot to mention the cartoon ministry.....
a friend of mine (who has recently started reading jwn) is having trouble eating and sleeping because, even after having recently woken up to ttatt.. they are still concerned about 'demons, everlasting destruction, and jehovahs disapproval'.. i've tried to encourage them.
i'm sure you all understand that these things can take time, the transition period is often painful, to some extent.
i'm still struggling with anger and depression myself.. i'll be away from jwn, off the internet, and thus out of contact with them for a while (don't ask why)... so please don't expect me to reply to or even look at what you post, .
Hello Defender of the Truth, It is very heartwarming for you to be concerned for your friend and make this request. Apparently you said that your friend may read what is written on this board. Do you think that the title of the post: "HELP needed for a friend, please. Anyone?.." would attract them to read it? Maybe so....Or maybe some something along the line of: "Are the Demons, a Reality or Imagined?" would attract their attention more?
If you friend did a searchon this site for "demons' there is TONS of information already commented on.
Just trying to help....Good Luck! Hugs, 4thgen
with jw.org becoming the rage and new object of veneration, this is how the children will be appearing in a kh near you!
any comments?.
.
OMG that is GREAT!!!!!! Thanks for posting. Hugs, 4thgen
Funny, how the kids onthe video have a similar look in their eyes!
i have an unspoken rule that if someone ever invites me to a church - that i haven't been to before - i will go.
even though i'm an atheist i'm still interested in the experiance.
just like i'm not into basketball but i would like to go to a game sometime to feel the energy of the crowd.. growing up as a jw i've never set foot in another church.
I've toured some churches on vacation simply for the history of the buildings, etc. But to attend with the hopes of getting reconnected to a religion? No. You will find that many on this site are jaded from religion after learning TTATT.
With that said, if you want to go....then GO! Enjoy! But don't get caught up in any religious cult again.
as i am typing this post i am constantly looking over my shoulder to see if anybody is at my bedroom door lol guys i know i am stuck in a a cult.
but this s*** is f****** crazy!!!!.
w13 11/15 p.16 par.17 -- " at that time, the life-saving direction that we receive from jehovahs organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.
Yep, it's all true! You are lucky to find this out now, while you are young. Learning TTATT may be a challange for you to accept at first, but it is better to uncover the lie, than live in ignorance. You've discovered the REAL Truth.
Go easy on your parents, they MAY not know TTATT.
