  More dumb JW logic

  by Batman89 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  witnesses always say when a person comes into the "truth"(deception) it was because jehovah saw they had the right "heart condition".

  so they're basically saying that only 7 million people on earth which is way less than 1% of the population have good hearts and are good people.

  and everyone else is just evil?

  I NEVER believed that only less than 10 million people would be saved

  People today are confused due to the fact that there are too many religions. Christianity itself has over 40,000 denominations! It is NOT the fault of people that they are confused. Therefore, it does NOT make sense to believe that everyone who is not a JW would be destroyed!

  My reasoning was that after the downfall of false religion, it would be obvious to right hearted ones that JW's have the truth. After false religion is no more, it would narrow things down a lot and then the choice between serving Jehovah or Satan would not be difficult to make. Jehovah would make the truth more convincing to people at that time, as he is the God of love & mercy and does not desire for any to be destroyed. Subsequently, many more millions, or even billions, would be able to take sides with Jehovah and be saved! =)

  I always believed that this reasoning should be the correct one instead as it made more sense

  when i was still attending i almost single handedly took care of the outside grounds.

  i actually enjoyed it - gardening being a hobby.

  but i turned in the keys to the shed about three months before i made my official exit.. .

  Blondie: "The rules were... no women of any kind"

  No such rule where I was. In fact, any help was welcomed. I wonder where the bro's in your area got their "rules"

  Name Some Things That JWs Look Down Upon That Normal People Wouldn't Even Think About?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  jws look down on others for saying, "bless you" if someone sneezes.

  it has something to do with the demons.

  another example is that it is considered satanic if a man took his hat off for a lady!

  That's hardly a good way to encourage a "lost sheep" to "return to the flock"

  what is it like for you when you run into someone from your happy days growing up in the kingdom hall?.

  it happened to me recently, and it brought out a flood of memories about r, an old friend and mentor.. it is a service day; as we drive along route 6 in rs gray four door rambler ambassador, we pass a baptist church.

  it is a thursday afternoon, sunny and warm, and r and i are on our way to the territory to make calls.
