if you had to pinpoint the time or experience that finally made you open your eyes, what would it be?.
i think for me it was the time i saw my dad shun his brother who he had not seen in decades just because he was a da'ed jw.
i thought to my self "no way jesus would do that.
All Christians thru the ages were fooled that Jesus died on a cross, till Rutherford figured it out he died on a "Stake".
"According to the World Christian Encyclopedia (1982), it is estimated that by A.D. 100 there were 1 million Christians in the Roman Empire out of a population of 181 million. This means that by the end of the first century less than 1 percent of the population (0.6% to be exact) was Christian." It looks like Rutherford got the 144,000 wrong too.
1. some say we are all gods, and god is omnipresent..
2. some say: god created his children who later challenged his sovereignty, who in turn asked his eldest son: go down to the world, do not resist the wicked, but be murdered by them, the value of which will be used to atone the sins of the world..
3. universe arose out of a big bang.
How about if we are really a Anunnaki experiment?
I have heard that many times, and even watch some videos on youtube.
Look them up.
during the wt session, the org admits that the actions of eldubs can cause an eventual shortage of "qualified " brothers, and it has.
they speak of a lack of teaching as the cause.
in reality, it's the legalism and control issues within the org itself that have caused a shortage of men who are willing to reach out.

Return to Jehovah????
That means: Go to the elders and be officially disfellowshipped= friends, relatives, not even your parents will be allowed to talk to you, not even a "hello".
Now things are worst for you than at the beginning.
That is a "loving arrangement"!!!!
can you be true to god, yet hide the facts?.
would you rather have the truth covered... ?
or do you want to know the facts?.

Interesting what the January 15, 1974 Watchtower has to say.
hello,.
i am currently in a discussion with a jw about the governing body.. i have read alot of articles regarding it, however whenever i bring up what i have read, i am refuted with scripture, such as acts 15, where they say there was a governing body, who sent out elders and men etc.. does anyone have a website that i may not know of, that has answers to what they refute with?
or any help here or good thought provoking questions to respond with would be much appreciated.. thank you kindly.
Ask them who was the "faithful and discreet slave" back then. They might say that the GB acts talk about.
Tell them that there was no faithful and discreet slave in the first century. That whatever they did back then had no relevance cause Jesus didn't appointed them. Jesus had to wait till 1919 to appoint Rutherford and colleagues as the faithful and discreet slave (which they didn't know anything about, neither they didn't know that Jesus came in 1914 and they died without knowing it). And the GB was established till 1971.
They had to cherry pick a scripture to back up what they say. But look carefully in their publications, you will find "The Truth About The Truth" there.
what kind of confidence can anyone have in an organization that rejected its founder and first two presidents for the first 63 years of its existence?
that's 53% of the time they existed!
any comments.
