  here and there we are always finding news reports.

  Catholic (not JW apostate) exposes bizarre 1914 doctrine CONTRADICTION

  by yadda yadda 2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a catholic (nb - note a jw apostate) utterly demolishes the jw's chronoprophetic 1914 creed here:.

  http://catholicnick.blogspot.co.nz/2011/01/1914-house-built-on-sand-jehovahs.html.

  in doing so he points out as follows a strikingly arbitrary and contradictory application of the 2520 days used to arrive at 1914 and 1260 days used to arrive at 1918:.

  FuGK This Religion- Stop Ruining My Life!!!

  by wallievase in

  i am sorry for the title but today just took the cake.

  after not going to the meetings since august and trying to sort through this with my family, my wife today told me she wants to separate because of our differences over being a witness or not.. this is ridiculous.

  so i said- how can you separate from me when the religion you whole heartedly believe says you can only separate for 3 reasons- abuse, willful non-support, or stopping her from her meeting attendance, etc.

  Am sorry about your situation.

  The three reasons for separation is new to me.

  I was under the impression the bible allows for separation/divorce only in case of infidelity.

  Nonetheless,I sympathize with your situation. Hope she thinks things over and changes her mind.

  Can a religion claim: “Only we have the truth”?

  by Kalos in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  truth is self-evident (things like: the whole is greater than its part ....).. truth is always right (things like: caring for the accident victim helplessly bleeding on the road ....).. claiming: only we have the truth is like claiming: only my university is useful.

  history shows that many school/college drop-outs have made significant contributions to the society like many those who completed their education!

  and on the contrary, many school/college drop-outs have made significant damage to the society like some of those who completed their education!

  Ocean1111. Exactly.

  So far every religion concocted by men, on this planet, has failed to prove on even a portion of their contorted"truth" being compatible with the real world. Or being possible in the real world.

  And then again you have "philosophers "; Arriving at their own facile conceptions of what makes humans and "creators" tick.

  Isn't the latter the forerunner of the former? Which came first? Religionists or philosophers?

  Question for those converted to JW as adults

  by DaleRivers in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  why did you become a jw, what particular teachings attracted you to 'the truth' ?.

  .

  in my case (baptized at 20/21) it was the only religion i knew; my mom, her mom, and favorite sister were jw; and the teachings of no hellfire or immortal soul made sense to me.. .

  Tearing down of a mainstream church's doctrines by my BStudy friend , and later, I convinced myself that these guys couldn't be lying- what would they have to gain? Didn't have access to TTAT or JW Facts or freminds.org etc. Got to these sites after the convention in 2007.

  A few questions for believers

  by keyser soze in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when confronted with all of the inconsistencies and atrocities of the bible, many believers invariably claim that they don't base their faith in christ on what's written in the bible.

  so what is the basis then, if not scripture?.

  and please don't tell me "the lord has revealed himself to me".
