  Jehovah's Limp Witnesses Pointed Me to JW.org When I Was Willing to Talk

  by steve2 in

  several months ago i approached a nice young couple who were standing by a jw literature stand in my local community.

  they were pleasant and polite but incredibly stilted when it came to answering my "innocent" questions about their beliefs.

  this was the occasion of jws featuring the article headlined "is religion dying?".

  Although they have a phony message based on misinterpretation and lies, JW's in times past were at least able to make their message sound more convincing. They would not hesitate to preach whenever possible, flipping through their bibles and throwing scripture after scripture at their listeners, leaving many of them impressed. They were so bold, confident, self-assured, and skilled that many of their listeners either fell for it or conceded that they had good points

  HOWEVER, the same CANNOT be said of present-day JW's. They are so pathetic and inept at giving a witness and the results are obvious from the yearly statistics!

  i browse this site on mobile and noticed that the thread post view is now stuck at 10. previously, i could set it at 20 and it stays that way, but now if i set it at 20, it goes back to 10 again the moment i click on another topic.

  i hope that you can look into this as it is extremely irritating for me to keep having to change it.

  WTWizard:

  This is sick. How many lousy marriages have resulted from this rubbish. Mismatches of every type occur--people getting stuck marrying people they are not even attracted to because that's all that's available.

  EXACTLY! There is such a great lack of choice that so many are totally unable to find suitable marriage mates, especially sisters. And once you are married, you are STUCK with the person FOREVER, however incompatible they may be. No wonder so many are suffering from depression!

  Jehovah God Is Not Real

  there are many of us on this site that do not believe that jehovah truly exists.. i think this is a great and wonderful thing to be celebrated!

  i'd like people to list the reasons why they do not believe that jehovah exists.

  this is open to all, not just atheists or agnostics, but anyone that believes that the god as put forward by jw.org does not and can not be real.. i'll start: .

  If children give a balding man a bit of cheek, they get torn apart by bears acting under gods orders.

  The LOL part is that all this is coming from a god who is supposed to be LOVING, MERCIFUL, COMPASSIONATE, & SLOW TO ANGER! (Exodus 34:6) Contrary to the qualities mentioned above, the god of the OT is the most hateful hot-headed irrational asshole I have ever come across!

  LoveUniHateExams:

  In the OT, children who reviled their parents were to be stoned to death.

  Just let that sink in: children who rowed with their parents and went OTT were killed in an extremely gruesome and inhumane way, on the word of the JewGod.

  Children, particularly teenagers, row with their parents and may say things they later regret. No sane, loving parent would want their child to die because of that.

  On that same note, Jokehova praises himself as a LOVING FATHER who CARES for his children, YET this same father is responsible for KILLING millions of his own children! What kind of sick father kills his own children? ? ? Totally disgusting! ! !

  Today's Text - Do Not Be Afraid!

  by Divergent in

  tuesday, november 29. do not be afraid.

  41:13.. jehovah purposed that his people proclaim the good news on an unprecedented scale in our day, and nothing can prevent him from accomplishing that purpose.

  just as he delivered the ancient nation of israel from babylon, jehovah has rescued his present-day servants from “babylon the great,” the world empire of false religion.

  That's why I say the governing body is NOT imitating Jesus who took the lead in preaching. They should be at the forefront of the preaching work instead of observing silently behind the scenes. They should be preaching in the hostile counties which I mentioned earlier - the more opposition they face, the MORE intense their efforts should be! If Jehovah is really with them, what do they have to be afraid of???

  Sunday's WT...funny, but sad for Dubs...

  by DATA-DOG in

  despite my often smart-ass exterior, i really don't have any desire to see the r&f dubs suffering.

  i really do worry about the mental and emotional turmoil that they will experience, if and when the wtbts is truly exposed as a scam.

  i know it seems unlikely to happen, but you never know..... anyway, the wt for the week was cringe-worthy to say the least.

  DATA-DOG:

  Is the writing staff so ate up with cognitive dissonance that they must justify their delusions, or are they just plain stupid?

  Both, I would say. The org is full of people writing about things which they are NOT qualified to write about (eg. unmarried or childless individuals writing about family life and raising up children, individuals who haven't read any proper scientific books writing about science, individuals not well-versed in language doing bible translation work, and the list goes on. . . )
