  I see there being "evidence based reasoning" and "faith based reasoning"

  Examining evidence and it's various interpretations requires work,

  Then there's Jesus saying "happy you are believing when you did NOT see"

  Welcome to Faith Based Reasoning,

  Jehovah's people are not happy people

  i finally stopped attending the meetings about 4 months go.

  i won't be going back - ever.. but i've decided the best reply to the watchtower is to be happy and i do try to be happy every day even thought i wasted my entire life on this religion.

  i cherish every day, practice mindfulness and do my best to be content with the life i have.. it is only now that i see that most jws i know are deeply unhappy people.

  Why Are More JWs Claiming to be Anointed?

  by Ding in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  most jws i know claim they are happy being in the great crowd.

  they'd rather live on a paradise earth and pet lions than go to heaven.. heaven is a place they can't relate to, a place where they don't expect their friends and loved ones to be.. so why are more and more jws claiming to be of the anointed?.

  aren't they looked down upon as if they are crazy, proud, ignorant, or engaging in apostate thinking?.

  How do you put aside your own desires for an objective analysis? You can't, the closest you can come to that is by listening to diametrically opposed points of view, you've heard all about Theism, have you heard from expert Atheists like Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris etc? But here's a question for you: Why is the Almighty, someone who loves you, making this so difficult for you?

  Going out in service.

  by Fader812 in

  i loved going out in service, i would empty my book bag out on the counter at the laundromat, walk out and go get a doughnut, i had a lot of hours and placements on my time card.

  i really hated talking to people, the anxiety was too much for me to handle, good thing my service partner felt the same way..

  Where is the proof?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we all know that the governing body claim to be "god's representatives" and the "faithful and discreet slave" that dispenses spiritual food..... but where is the proof?.

  according to the bible (if we just for a moment take it as a reliable source), all of god's representatives in the past furnished proof of their appointment - not just self referential claims or statements.. for instance, moses and aaron performed miracles before pharaoh (such as the snake staffs.).

  other prophets performed signs and miracles such as making the sun stand still, healing sick people, making walls fall down, etc etc.... even jesus performed miracles as proof of his divine appointment!.
