  Well done.

  The real problem is that you dared to ask questions!

  You dared to THINK for yourself along non approved lines.....

  loyalty—part of the new personality (s-341a-18-e 5/17).

  note to the circuit overseer:.

  use this outline for the tuesday service talk from september 2017 through february 2018. you will need to prepare your own 30-minute service talk for use after the watchtower study.

  jP1692: It's no different really then how the Hitler Youth would get children to turn on their parents.

  Well said sir!

  Hello from Illinois

  i come from a catholic background, but most recently had been with the churches of christ.

  i have contacted my local congregation and will be talking with someone tomorrow, hopefully setting a study up for next week.

  i want to study scripture, but also want to immerse myself in everything jw publishes.

  The JW.org religion does an amazing job of turning people AWAY from any form of faith in a divine entity (God)

  However, I have made some great new friends via this forum!

  Hahahaha!

  The very notion of "dobbing" or "ratting" on a "friend" is proof it is a cult.

  Anyway, that idea the outline says about "reporting them if they don't do so themselves in a reasonable amount of time" did NOT happen in my case.

  The "rat" that reported me for being on "apostate sites" didn't even talk to me! I found out only AFTER the elders all held an "emergency meeting" about me!.

  When I questioned the elder as to why "scriptural procedures were not applied in my case, he replied "Those steps of Matthew do not apply for Apostasy"

  Yep...right...so the Society's procedures trump the Bible's?

  After being in the so-called "Truth" makes me despise all religions.

  by Fader812 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  after being a jw made me lose trust in religion, from the lies, hypocrisy and greed of this organization made me lose faith completely.

  what does one do after this mind f$%@, what is there to look forward to?

  do i make up my own agnostic theory in head and hope for the best?

  Great thread.

  "Faith" should not replace LOGIC, FACTS and EVIDENCE.

  It is for that reason that I no longer subscribe to any religious system.

  I thank the WT society in part for helping me to see that all "faiths" are based on FOG (Fear Obligation Guilt) and NOT on evidence.

  NWT - revised 1984 vs revised 2013 versions

  by Tallon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in the latest 2013 revision the footnote of john chapter 8 states; a number of ancient and authoritative manuscripts omit vs 53 (of chapter 7) to chapter 8, vs. 11.. yet the 1984 revision quotes a similar footnote, however the passage of scripture is included in the text, albeit separately at the bottom.

  this passage of scripture is about the scribes and the pharisees who brought a woman that was accused of adultery before jesus to test him on the punishment to be meted out.

  then came his famous reply; let the one of you that is sinless be the first to throw a stone at her.. i just found it interesting that the wtbts would leave this out in the latest revision.

  It's not just what has been left out, but what has been added!

  (didn't revelation condemn those who add or take away from the book?)

  In the section called "outlines of the chapter", for Acts 15 they include the term "letter from the governing body". That term has never appeared in the bible, yet the society now includes it. No doubt in an attempt to manipulate the idea of the current Governing Body.
