Welcome all you new ones that i haven't personally got aound to.
I realize this has been a big step for most of you, but believe me you came to the right place, to be among lovers of the true God.
that is if you are serious about worshipping Jah in spirit and in truth .John 4:23-24.

You will find that Christ Jesus yoke is light , not at all what man might expect of one. We have the two greatest commandments based on love and that's what its all about. Keeping in mind at all times that it is Jesus who is the One shepherd or the Word of God.
Never ever were there to be human leaders that would take over Jesus as Head.

welcome once more

Hello to everyone, and welcome to any and all who have arrived since I joined just about a week ago. This is a very big forum (large in topics and information though I don't know size in membership), with very nice and very informed people, and I am so happy and thankful to have found it.

Hello, it is nice to meet you. I was just wondering if any of the people on this site are actually Jehovah's witnesses, as the home page gives a description that alleges some not-so-nice things about the organization.

Hello stayawake,

I am just expounding on my first post, I was just thinking that true worshipers of Jehovah would not print anything that would bring reproach on Jehovah's name and that is exactly what the home page of this website does! :angry:

Welcome jswiss1961!

Would you please elaborate? Do you see something that brings reproach on Jehovahs&#39; name, or is it reproach against the WTBTS?

agape,

Dear Jswiss
You are absolutely right true worshipers would never bring reproach on Jehovah&#39;s name ,instead true worshipers would expose the source that is bringing reproach on His name. Right !

Sad to say every accusation on the Home Page is true.
But your not going to know that if you you&#39;re self aren&#39;t going to look into it, are you ?
Now that Jehovah directed you here it&#39;s up to you to "make sure of all things.
If it&#39;s the Home page that upset you then look those accusations up, see the links and documentation&#39;s that support these facts as truth, See what is being hidden from our bros/sisters who are forbidden to go on the Internet.

There are many here that still go to the meetings and remain silent ,only because saying anything would mean a quick judicial meeting and being put out before the knowledge they have would get into the cong.. They have families inside that would be forbidden to speak to them. So they must remain silent to stay close to family.
Some do that, yet others don&#39;t. Each knows what they can and cannot do.

Find out more about that Home page , Read Watchman&#39;s essays and Blogs. This is all supported with Gods word and links to all documentation&#39;s

Allow me also to assure you Watchman is in very good standing with Jehovah, it is the WT that has judged him unscriptural , as his only false step was to loyally defend the Truth of Gods word in pointing from the scriptures the truth about Gods household (144.000) .

So now that you took this step, instead of being offended about the Home page , say a prayer to find out why your really here. There is way more here then just the forum,
In the right hand upper box there&#39;s a banquet for you to get into, so enjoy and don&#39;t be scared to look around .

Hi Jswiss :icon_razz:

Yes I am one of Jehovah&#39;s Witnesses. Cannot speak for anyone else.

All I can tell you is to pull up a chair, pray to Jehovah for direction,

take out your Bible and and join in on the discussions that interest you

and leave those alone that do not interest you.


You cannot eat everything that is put on the board, just like you cannot eat

all regular foods. If you have a question ask, someone will give you

direction or an answer if they can. If you have an expression, post it. If no

one answers do not be offended. We all here are at different stages in our

spiritual walk. Sometimes I pm more than I put info on the public board. It

all depends.


So, check the board out, if you do not like what you hear and you do not

agree, you find this is not what you want, or where you choose to be, then

move on.

But whatever you choose to do always pray and make sure as much as

possible that what you choose to eat is good. OKEY DOKEY JSWISS 1961.


Best to you and your family.

Hi jswiss1961,

Welcome to the forum! :)

I am one of Jehovah&#39;s Witnesses. I am not disfellowshipped, and I am not disassociated.

What exactly on the home page is bringing reproach on Jehovah&#39;s name?

What does direct a person here? One of the reasons I came here was because I was not getting any spiritual encouragement in my congregation. I can&#39;t speak for others and what their congregation is like, but I needed some spiritual " energy". I was attending the meetings but was getting nothing. I tried to engage some in some discussion like
" What if 1914 is not correct?" or "why have there been so many changes to the generation meaning?" or "What did Jesus mean about ....?" but I was met with blank stares or comments like ...."well wait until a watchtower article comes out."
It wasn&#39;t good enough for me. So I started searching on the Internet and came across some interesting forums. But this one seemed to be made up of people actually thinking about things. I was also very interested in that I actually learned about the NGO debacle and other things that I had never heard of before. It was like a light was suddenly turned on. I could read about things that never came up in discussion among the Brothers.
Then I saw video produced by Watchman based on Psalms 104. I was astounded. This person is disfellowshipped but has such a profound love for Jehovah that he can produce such a wonderful video on his own. I came to appreciate that all was not well in the WTS and it gave me the answer to why I was not getting the spiritual encouragement I needed.
I want to take the opportunity to thank all for their contributions which I thoroughly enjoy reading and sometime I am moved to contribute too. So what brought you here? Was it just coincidence or are you too seeking something more than you are getting right now? All I can say is stick wiht ti and you will be surprised what you can learn here. ( and check out watchmans video too!)

[Eyes & Ears]

Hullo FGM,

I saw your comment below and had to chuckle to myself. That is so true.
I hear this all the time, when questions are asked, and no one
has an answer. You do get those blank stares. :) and then comes
the classic non answer (for lack of better words) as you say quoted here:

"but I was met with blank stares or comments like ...."well wait until a watchtower article comes out.""



FGM, I thank Jehovah everyday for giving us all on board the sense to make sure of all things as best we can under Jehovah&#39;s direction.

IT SURE AIN&#39;T EASY, BUT JEHOVAH WON&#39;T LET GO OF US IF WE CONTINUE TO HOLD ON TO HIS LOVING HAND - HIS WORD.

May we all hold on to the healthy teachings of our Father and follow the loving example of the son he sent here to die for us.

I pray we all stay focused on the upbuilding and important things to help us grow in our relationship with our Father Jehovah, while we discuss our concerns and sincere questions.


Welcome again all new ones. May you find a measure of peace while you are here.

Sisterly Love,

E & E

For I, Jehovah your God, am grasping your right hand, the One saying to you, Do not be afraid. I myself will help you..

Welcome J.Swiss1961,
My reason for being here is exactly the same, i felt like i was starving to death from lack of accurate knowledge. Hearing and seeing proof that the watchtower wasnt as white as what i was lead to believe, this just confirmed for me what my nagging doubts were about. It made me realise that the word APOSTATE was too easily used to label individuals who dare to question the watchtower. Apostate to me is a person who denies Jehovah as being the true god and who sets out to destroy what Jehovah has built up, And sad to say the only true apostates i have ever come across are the ones which decided to join the UN as NGO&#39;s. Those who deviously carry on undercover liasons, while the rest of the sheep are blind to this fact.
Welcome again to our virtual paradise :)

Sisterly Love
