  Thier new Bible translations funny Scripture and how stupid they are.

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if you go to their bible at genesis 18: starting at verse 3 you will read that abraham sees jehovah yep sees him, with a couple of other men (angel's) then talks to him about getting water to wash his feet.

  then he runs to sarah and talks to her about preparing food for jehovah.

  so let me get this strait abraham sees jehovah face to face, jehovah has feet and apparently likes to eat human food too.

  The Jehovah's Witnesses' Governing Body are Elitists (Here is why)

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  an "elite" group is one which has special privileges not granted to others.. and obscurantist elite, is a group which hides information by virtue of its own claim to be special and a sole source in dispensing necessary truths.. to wit:.

  the gb's elitism shines through in articles such as this:.

  “thus the bible is an organizational book and belongs to the christian congregation as an organization, not to individuals , regardless of how sincerely they may believe that they can interpret the bible .

  I don't agree with most of what fisherman said but I do agree with his statement "it is the parents responsibility to protect their children." So don't trust your children with es or ms, and by all means no jw indoctrination.

  So I had a conversation with an older brother...

  by My Name is of No Consequence in

  2. experiences

  recently, i was speaking with an older brother who is well into his 80's and is a widower.

  he explained to me that it is tough getting old and that "nothing works right anymore".

  he told me that he was able to get through his 70's with few problems.

  What Are Your "Senior Moments" Like?

  by compound complex in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  dear friends:.

  i imagine by now we old timers have adjusted to the fact that we are getting older and, one day, will make our exit.

  are your "senior moments" ever a cause for worry to you?

  I will go to another room to do something and when I arrive, can't remember what I came there for. However if I go back to my original location it suddenly dawns on me. My greatest fear is arriving back at the original location and not remembering what I came there for... and getting stuck in a perpetual loop.

  My experience with the people in my hall

  by Freeandclear in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i've been awake now for about 6 months i'd guess and a member here for a couple of weeks.

  it's been eye opening to read other peoples experiences on here and i appreciate all of you.

  i've noticed in many, seemingly most, of your comments that you were not treated well at your hall or you have had very negative experiences in the "org" so i thought i'd like to share mine.. in all my time as a jw i have to say for the most part i always loved the people.

  Owned a pet store once.

  customer: How much for a green parakeet?

  me: They are on sale this weekend for 9.95.

  customer: I hear your a jw... what kind of price will you give a fellow jw?

  me: For you 12.95.

  Pretty much sums up the average jw.... (both of us)

  Elders are still in process of sending my details to CO and branch, awaiting their approval for my resignation

  This actually cracks me up... I was also told this by the "body" but I had preempted this by sending my resignation to the CO first. Like it or not, I/you have redesigned! There is nothing for them to approve. It takes years to flush watchtarded thinking from your mine.

  Preaching? For what purpose? All JW's need to ask this question.

  by park ave boy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  what is the purpose of preaching if not for converts?.

  basically, preaching by the jw's is to make converts.

  this in itself implies that jehovah's witnesses believe that they alone have the only acceptable way to god and that everyone else is just not worthy.

  I would have to agree with konceptual99 comment above. The fact that the ARC was able to investigate the Australian branch was because records existed. WTS policy until 2008 (US) was to keep all pedo related files in sealed envelopes in cong safes indefinitely. After that I can't say.
