Did you AWAKEN from the JWs by yourself?

by cultBgone in

jw
friends

i was thinking about how so many posters here on jwn are frustrated and frantic to help their loved ones get away from the brainwashing of jws, and how much advice is given about how to help family members and loved ones.

i considered my own leaving and that it was internal turmoil based on the teachings getting weirder and child abuse issues, to name just a few, and it made me wonder:.

did you self-awaken or were you assisted by the gentle proddings of a friend or family member?

No one else really woke me up. As early as 2007 I prayed for a job and got one.... Of course I had left a resume at the job I got lol

It was 2010 when I read books about events in the bible could NOT be found in archeology.. if that was true and Genesis was wrong then Jesus was either lying or was a myth... I decided to see if there was 100% proof of evolution... if I couldn't find it I would cast my doubts aside... I found it... ERVs and Chromosome #2....

I was awake... But i'm still trapped in.

Pope Francis: All dogs go to heaven

by NewYork44M in

i always wonders, and now i know.

thank you pope francis.. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/12/world/europe/dogs-in-heaven-pope-leaves-pearly-gate-open-.html?action=click&contentcollection=sunday%20book%20review&module=mostemailed&version=fullion=marginalia&src=me&pgtype=article.

does this include the dogs that end up on the dinner table in some cultures?

Every single referance in the bible to dogs is bad!

Exodus is funny... in it Moses uses an expression that is rendered as: "Not a dog shall move his tongue".... The Jews hated dogs it seemed.

Be honest post do all posters on this site believe the bible is 100% or has flaws?

by booker-t in

we in the psychology/sociology field have a saying "when people protest too loud usually they are overcompensating".

i did not understand that when i first started studying psychology but now i understand it completely and it is so true.

when i hear someone constantly bashing something or someone such as gay bashing or ethnic bashing or religion bashing sometimes i wonder what are they hiding.

I think 90% of what is in the bible is flawed. 10% (Mostly in 2 Kings) might be right... but however it is good for two things: (possibly a third)

1. Historically it tells us what the writer (thus their culture) was thinking at the time and place they wrote it...

2. Western Culture and religion is based on it so it is wise to have knowledge of the work.

The possible third is that reading the bible makes one an atheist

The text about Solomon I think is the Testament of Solomon and I think he has a ring to control demons and demons build the temple for him LOL

This verse as stated is from the Assuption of Moses most likely. However the words Michael uses in the story are from Zechariah 3. <<<Read it

It's a very wierd story and Jude is full of traditions and odd stories.

Was Jesus the Nazarene The Messiah / Promised in The Hebrew Scriptures?

by objectivetruth in

in seeking truth, and removing untruth, often more is removed then ever initially imagined possible.. christianity, claims that jesus was & is the messiah.

this claim is primarily based on the writings of the greek scriptures.. throughout history, god has given signs to people, in order for them to believe.

never has he become upset with an individual asking for a sign.. some individuals such as moses asked for multiple signs.

Since Jesus as a cosmic 'god' was preached by Philo and other in the first century and Josephus records the Ebionites as being excentric why are YOU following after myths?

The second coming came about after the destruction of the temple in 70CE

There never was a historical Jesus... i used to think so.. but based on Philo and Josephus I say no... ... no one knew of a Jesus.
