  After leaving the JWs - Has anyone stayed with Christianity?

  by rulehayl in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i recently made the decision to stop studying with my study conductor, due to a situation i found myself in that led to a high possibility of my unbaptized publisher "rights" being taken away from me.

  i have since told my study conductor i have joined a new church (to which she dropped me like a hot rock, of course).... last time i posted on here, i was progressing nicely towards baptism, and was well into it.anyhoo, i like my new church, very hillsong-esqe.

  so just wondering if anyone else has stayed the course of christianity after leaving the jws, and if so - where did you go?

  I'm still in the religion for family reasons, probably will be for the foreseeable future. I don't believe in JWs anymore, but I'm still a Christian. I associate with other Christians online, but I don't believe in the concept of any 'true church'. I deal with individuals.

  Therefore, how are we to understand apostate sites? Evidently, they're God-approved.

  What is this "religion"?

  by Kom 197 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for a long time, i was convinced jehovah witnesses were just people preaching the word of god in a different way than other christians.

  i was shown the real truth over the past few months.

  i've been friends with this guy for over 5 years.

  He hasn't been brainwashing her for years, that's absurd. It's not like he was raised as a JW or ever really and truly lived as one. He was at a weak point, was spiritually curious, was love-bombed by the JWs and then intimidated in a whirlwind. He's still at a point where he could go either way. No person is worth giving up on without even trying, especially since you love him and I'm sure he really does too. It's worth a try.

  You've been together for too long to give up. Don't be too hard on him he's experiencing undue influence. Three elders in a private environment can be VERY intimidating. Be loving and show him JWfacts.com

  Mary Magdalene - Movie Review

  by cofty in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  so mrs cofty and i went to see the new movie last weekend on the gospel story told from the perspective of mary magdalene.. the first ten minutes are excellent and then jesus turns up and it's all downhill from there.

  it was pope gregory who decided in 1591 that mary m was a penitent prostitute, even though the gospels contain no such reference.

  was she the mary from whom seven demons were cast or was she just unlucky to share a name with a different mary?

  Cofty, I was gonna say that sounds pathetic, but you beat me to it in your last paragraph 😄

  SJW tropes in a Bible story.

  Facepalm.

  Yup. My ultra-staunch (and also new-to-tech) JW mother has stumbled across this site twice recently, and instead of doing the 'right' thing and shutting it off while looking away in disgust, she lingers and moves on to other threads.

  The increase in the Anointed Ones

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  to illustrate how the botchtower's groupies are losing brain cells...last year an elder told me some of the increase in the anointed is due to those who have been unfaithful and needed to be replaced.

  when i was in first grade i knew that if i had 10 marbles and i lost one and a friend gave me a marble to replace the one i lost that i once again had 10 not 11 marbles.. jdubs are very good at not thinking..

  It has ballooned and will continue to. There was even a story on here several years ago of a whole congregation in the US that went 'apostate' and started partaking, then was disbanded.

  Beyond that, I wonder how many more that partake in private and aren't counted. I'm one of them, and I've read of others who do the same, because they don't want to put on airs or tacitly agree with WTs definition of what it means to be anointed.
