Just learned. Genesi 1 doesn't actually depict the creation of the planet Earth

the ancient hebrews, and their yahweh included i suppose (can i say that here?

or do you'll prefer jehovah?

), didn't even know of the earth.

HeyThere

Genesis does have a verse that says God was moving over the watery deep....before the creation of anything...I have always wondered about that.

I also believe that Heaven was the sky - they did not know about space etc. bck then - all the wild storms, floods, tornadoes, etc. were caused by God or whatever, to explain the destruction? This is just my preliminary thoughts on the matter.

How long have you been an online "apostate?"

by Faithful Witness in

i really do not like that word (apostate), as used to represent someone who decided to remove themselves, or was removed from the influence of the watchtower... but i am curious.. how long have websites like these been in existence?

when did this movement begin?.

personally, how long did it take for you to dare exploring information outside the watchtower publications, about jehovah's witnesses (especially online)?.

Since I came across an article about the Candice Conti case, asked the sister I study with about it, and she had no idea. I found a total of 17 child sex abuse cases, she knew about none of them. Since then what I have found has made me know I will never be a tue dub, will never get baptised, and am trying to get my husband out.

Quick! Help Needed for TTATT!!!

my husband is actually asking me questions about the governing body saying they are the mouthpiece of jehovah and the whole jesus invisible rulership in 1914 etc.

i am looking up stuff now to show him but if you have any proof, qotes, etc.

to help me wake up my husband please send to me now asap!.

HeyThere

Thank you to everyone for all of the help - wonderful tips and info and links - I can't thank you enough.

Though my husband was asking questions and wanting me to show him things, it feels like 1 step forward and 2 steps back --- ever since our conversation he has been very distance and hardly speaking to me at all. I have not been pushing the matter - this is how he becomes when he is upset about something, not necesarrily mad at me but just upset in general. And soon he will let me know what he has been thinking...I am still gathering information but I know this will be very hard for him as it has been all he knows for his life and a large number of his family are active jw's. Many decisions in his life were made based on the religion, so I can only imagine the emotional turmoil one would face...it is so sad.

HeyThere

it is mildly entertaining how people crowd around after the meeting is over "i loved your comment" " your comment was wonderful!" when all i did was read a line from the dang book....lol.

Strike 3 for the elderette and me! (???) I never heard a JW talk SO much about Jesus!

by Faithful Witness in

miss k and her friend miss w arrived promptly today.

our scheduled topic of discussion: jesus' claim to be "the way, the truth and the life..." john 14:6 since she was basing this topic choice on the fact that i had quoted that verse, i'm not sure why... she spent what seemed like a very long time, hopping through scriptures that all said that jesus was the truth, the way, or the life.

ok, so we agreed... i kept waiting for her to get to a point, or sway from this principle.. of course, she summed up with scriptures that show how jesus submits to the father, and what does that mean we should do?

HeyThere

you did awesome...and thank you for sharing you have given me some nuggets to use in my sitch, too!
