Damned if they do, Damned if they don't
by FusionTheism ini see an attitude among some people here which is not very helpful.
i can understand it, but still, it's not constructive or helpful.. if you condemn the society for not changing, but then you also condemn them when they do change in a positive way, what incentive or motive does that provide for the people at the society to ever want to change for the better?.
also, what does that attitude look like to current witnesses who are having doubts?.

THE SOCIETY DOES NOT CHANGE IN A POSITIVE WAY. BECAUSE WHEN IT CHANGES SOMETHING THE GOVERNING BODY (GB) GIVES NO APOLOGY FOR THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY ITS ERROR. INSTEAD, THE GB DEMANDS FULL OBEDIENCE BY CLAIMING THE LIE THAT THEY ARE CHOSEN BY GOD. -

There is no true religion. Religions are based on speculations. -

I asked where is the proof?
by disillusioned 2 inarguing with my husband again, i asked where is the proof that jesus looked down on earth in 1919 and chose a small group of bible students in america apart from them saying it in their magazines.
also where is the proof that satan and his demons were cast down in 1914 just because first world war started.
neither of these things are in the bible only in their magazines.

You may also ask about the theological difference (established by the Governing Body) between blood fractions permitted and the blood components forbidden (see page 216 of the book "Keep Yourselves in God's love"). There is no Bible support for that doctrine. Also, according to the GB, witnesses can accept albumin extracted from blood donors, but they are forbidden to donate blood. This is a clear double immoral standard. -

He looked at me like I was a piece of shit on his shoe! (Excuse my language).
He said "you have really gone, and you are way off base"! Then he walked out of the room and we haven't spoken since.
The problem is that if a witness shows a signal of independent thinking by questioning any of the Society's doctrines, the alarm of apostasy rings.

JWs and their views on Sex
by campaign of hate inin the past i have read on this forum that the wt have a say in the "bedroom" of couples.
i thought that was a bit overkill at first, but recently i have come to conclusion that this is true.. the control administered by the wt cooperation on ones sex life is not on only intrusive, its damaging.
they control every aspect of ones thought and action, thus leading most down a path that said corporation wants them to tread.. this path is to get married young, and then eternal loyalty the the organisation.. so how can an organisation force you to get married young?.

Flipper: More than one decade ago, I suffered an embarrassing situation before the elders when they asked me about the details of my private sexual relations with my worldy girlfriend. I was stupid in that time, because I thought they were representing God, so I had to answer their morbid questions. Now I no longer believe neither in the Society, nor in Jehovah. -

I know of an elder that prays before having sex with his wife. That is what he told his student once when we went to conduct a book study. Always pray, any moment, even before sex.Why do we need to pray before sex? .....ok, may be to do the best... -

The early apocalyptic thought that Jesus would come soon, created in most of early christians, a sense of urgency, the same as Jehovah's Witnesses. This is why celibacy was encouraged by Paul.
The source of the problem can be found in the Bible itself. Of course, the Watchtower Society has its own stupid policies.

Christianity: The most deceptive religion
by opusdei1972 injesus was a jew who apparently thought he was the messiah, however, after dying, his disciples began to propagate the lie that he would return from heaven during his generation.
but, his generation passed away, and it was clear that it was a false prophecy, then a dishonest christian wrote the second letter of peter so as to condemn those who realised that the prophecy was a fiasco.
interestingly, and sadly, this religion survived,....why????

I think that if we have "a God" who was the indirect cause of our existence, we can conclude the following :
1) He had nothing to do with the composition of the Bible. Unless He wants to mock us.
2) He wants us for living only a limit period of time (as human beings at least).
3) He knows that evil will always emerge in our social environment.
4) In general (or may be always), He is sleeping when we are in danger.
