Hello everyone . Am new here. Tried to get into JW.net twice but a popup informed me that the official website of JW's is jw.org. This was about 2 hours back. Anybody with a similar experience?
Joined the Jw .net forum a few months ago- but typed in a wrong password and the site wouldn't allow me to check in, despite asking for the correct PW and typing it in . Had to change display name and finally figured out how to post.
Have read CoC and TTaTT. Many other articles on Jwfacts and other websites. Enlightening stuff. Enough to get even an average JW thinking along the right lines-which is away from its bigotry and authoritarian dogmas and dictates and its irrational phobias about clear thinking men and women. Methinks this org. is a crafty imitation of the mother church. The difference being the mother church practised -what they are now emulating -a few centuries back. Shunning; demand "donations"; secrecy in accumulating wealth and its subsquent usage; appropiating property; preying on the old and timid; irrational beliefs which have no scriptual basis; arrogating to themselves the authority of Christ and his Heavenly Father translated as infallibility and (LOL) omniscience among others.
My mental disassociation began when James' assertion in 1:16 couldn't be validated by the conversations in Job between the Evil one and J. Subsequently I've read posts with similar observations about the events in the Garden and their inconistency with James-which were in keeping with my reasonings. Which has brought me to this thought. Ancient religions of the Vikings the Greeks and Romans , Babylonians, Egyptians etc. etc. have all proven false. All their gods and godesses have been the products of colorful figments of imaginative zealotry. ( JW's believe it is -Satan's). The flaws in all the current so called "Holy" books -no religion excepted -makes it obvious that they are nothing but ambitious current editions of an ancient fictionalized concept. There is only one TRUTH. SCIENCE and THE NEVER ENDING INQUIRY INTO IT by the human brain. That is the only hope for everlasting life for man. Till science doesn't figure out ways to combat aging, disease and death, we have but a short time to live. These are my thoughts . You are welcome to comment.
