perth serial killer richard dorrough had found god and was struggling to live with the guilt of three murders on his conscience when he decided to take his own life last year.

He "became a Jehovah’s Witness after door-knocking “missionaries” visited his Byford home months before his death."

Wait... any proof that he actually became a JW? As in becoming a publisher & getting baptized. Merely being a return visit or a bible study DOESN'T COUNT. Just sayin'...

My thoughts on the last WT study. Keep in Expectation

by StarTrekAngel in

so i sat thru another brain mushing session for the sake of family.

it is no myth by now that the more time you spend awake the harder it is the accept that people just take all of this in without asking.

a computer has more reasoning abilities than your average jw at this point.

2 Pet 3: 9 is another similar scripture - "Jehovah is not slow concerning his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire anyone to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance.

Wait... so Jehovah supposedly DOES NOT WANT ANY TO BE DESTROYED, but he intentionally wants to make things hard for people to discern so that they will be destroyed???

If Jehovah really didn't want any to be destroyed, he would have made "the truth" MORE CONVINCING, and made the broad road lead to everlasting life & the narrow road lead to eternal destruction. BUT nooooo... he made it the complete opposite!!!

This is exactly why I can't believe that this is the truth. It just doesn't make sense!!!

Call For Children To Get Baptised From CO

by freemindfade in

so i've been pretty good at not going to meetings lately.

yesterday i went for the co's last talks.

older co. his last talk was absolutely shocking.

Kids these days are smart. We have statistics showing that 2/3 of JW children leave "the truth" eventually. Hope this would go up to 3/4 or 4/5 in future!

"Imitate Jehovah" CA Actually Didn't Have That Theme At All

by JW_Rogue in

just got back from "imitate jehovah" ca and noticed that the theme was never really used at all.

all the talks were about family, preaching and getting along with others in the hall.

they didn't once go over an account of how jehovah acted in the past and how we should imitate that action.

But the 1 day assemblies are called circuit assemblies, no?

by jhine in

I don't like Daniel Craig either. I prefer Pierce Brosnan as Bond, or someone like Jason Statham

Romans chapter 14 clearly states one can celebrate birthdays if one wants.

Romans 14 is contradictory. One part says not to judge, but another says not to stumble others. So those who are easily stumbled should not be judgemental, but on the other hand we should not stumble them. Wait... whaaaatttt????
