Interpolated portions of the Bible are responsible for JW mistakes and arrogance
by exWTslave inbible is a mixture of truth and untruth.
(jeremiah 7:22; 8:8; act 20:28-30) everything that falls in harmony with our experience is truth.
for example, every action has equal and opposite reaction.

Thank you for that quote! It's great and true. Interestingly, Bible too declares that God is not an element in true worship: " Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."--James 1:27
In other words, caring for others is true worship, or being a good person is true worship.

Bible is a mixture of truth and untruth. (Jeremiah 7:22; 8:8; Act 20:28-30) Everything that falls in harmony with our experience is truth. For example, every action has equal and opposite reaction. (Galatians 6:7) This principle works like death which is sure to occur yet we do not know WHEN, WHERE and HOW! This principle is something God too respects hence will not violate at any circumstances as His very highlight is “order.” (Romans 16:20; 1 Corinthians 14:33)
Hence all incidents and concepts contrary to Galatians 6:7, found in the Bible, are interpolations. To mention a few:
1) David is given mild punishment for adultery and murder where as a man who went to gather firewood on Sabbath is given death penalty. (Numbers 15:32-36) (Such a harsh punishment doesn't seem necessary as Jesus declared: “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.” - Mark 2:23-27)
2) Once come into power, one can become arrogant like King Solomon and can take 100s of wives and concubines …. who is praised in the later writings!
3) Satan accused Job FOR NO REASON, and thus brought untold sufferings on him only to prove himself a liar and sadist—yet after all the drama Satan was left unpunished!
4) Through one man all became sinners and through another man all would be forgiven! (God forgives only sins committed unknowingly, not other sins—Hebrews 10:26)
Not realizing the interpolations, JWs built their empire on sand. Bible’s interpolated accounts made them audacious to formulate teachings even when they know it is false. For example, their teaching about the year 1914. They know that Jews should know more correctly than anyone else the year of their own captivity. Jewish Ecyclopedia says it happened in 586 BCE. (http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/11407-nebuchadnezzar) Hence 586 + 2520 = 1935 CE! Yet JWs wanted a wrong date 607 BCE to link the start of Last Days to a spectacular year (607 BCE + 2520 = 1914 CE). However, Jesus himself contradicts JWs here: “When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies” (which happened during 66-70 CE), and …. “Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.” (Luke 21:20-24) They say Gentile Times are of 2520 years, and ended in 1914 CE. Yet none of their flock asks: Isn’t 70 + 2520 years = 2590 CE?
This explains why JWs have got most of their teachings unacceptable to the thinking minds!

Purging and letting go of the past
by Skinnedsheep inmy wife and i decided that today would be the day that we would let go of the past.
we collected all of our watchtower published books and brochures and threw them out.
it was honestly bitter sweet to toss our old pioneer books, marked up insight books, and notes from 25 years of conventions.

I have kept most of the WT publications with me, because I find it useful when I get some Witness friends to show their mistakes from their own publications!

Some people cannot be won by reasoning. Let your life be the message you want to convey to her. Silence is the most powerful weapon. Be good to her, despite her murmuring and nagging. Being good will attract good. WT environment (that treats women as a second-class citizen) has enough potential to foment peacelessness. You take good principles found in the Bible directly without anybody’s help. Life will be good to you!

What is this phenomenon?
by exWTslave inthough my colleague had requested for one week extension of her leave as her typhoid was becoming more stubborn, she came to work after two days.
when asked what miracle took place, she had this to say: your wording seems to be correct.
you would rememberi contracted typhoid same time last year.

I am also, like you, one of the audiences to this incident. Everyone may not respond in the same way. My response is this: I agree with her assertion that “being good to myself (which include avoiding all types of negativities being done to myself) and to others will attract positive energy to myself, and vice versa,” and I am going to practice the principle found in the above-above mentioned incident on myself (means, next time when I fall sick, I will try this). When I have my own experience, I will produce all the proofs you required.

You can be in your comfort-zone terming things like the above as " bollox." Yet you too know that things like this are also happening. Whether you accept it or not is entirely different matter.

Conclusion is simple.
Disease does not attack people. Disease grows slowly within the body through continued abuses and accumulating toxemia. So disease cannot be contracted for the same reason. When people are exposed to a deadly virus, some may succumb and the others may go unaffected—it all depends on the condition of the physical body (and sometimes condition of the mental body). If body-condition is favorable for the virus to thrive, it results in disease, and if not, virus does not succeed!
