I have noted that the main problem for those who are seduced by the Watchtower Society is their ignorance about the Bible itself. People who believe that the Bible is the word of God usually ignore the studies on textual criticism and how scientific criteria forbid absurd stories like that of the Global Flood. So, I strongly believe that students in schools need at least an obligatory course on "the Bible" through the point of view of science and the textual criticism. I don't know about a book enclosing a summary of all these issues. Of course, Dawkins has done a contribution, and other ones. But we need a book of a high school level in order to show to the students the flaws of the Bible. It could help many people to avoid dangerous sects like the Watchtower Society. Secular governments should propagate this information so as to create a better thinking society of humans.

by LexIsFree inso this is only my second post but its about something that has been on my mind for awhile now.

We have the natural question about how and why we exist. However, if a superior being exist (hypothesis), I don't think that we must pray Him, because that being has never revealed His identity until now. In the past dishonest religious leaders emerged by inventing legalistic policies that supposedly came from "God". For instance, the jewish priests invented that a god called YHWH liked to receive the blood of sacrificed animals and demanded his people to abstain from swine. We now know that these are human inventions. So, we were forced to believe that we must worship a non-existent being created in the mind of scribes. -

How much damage has internet done against the The Watchtower Society ?
by opusdei1972 inin the beginning of internet the society was worried about the information published exposing its falsehood.
so, i wonder how many people lost the society on account of forums and web sites like this.

I remember a talk in 1999 in the kingdom hall in which the elder said that we should avoid to read web pages because are very dangerous against the spirituality. -

My sister is being harassed by the elders
by opusdei1972 insometime ago i wrote here in this forum about the case of my sister, who decided to stop attending the meetings because she realised that the watchtower society is an evil organization.
this happened more than one year ago.
i am not living in the same country of my sister, so i learn about her case when she calls me or when she write me through whatsapp.

A letter was sent through a notary public in order to notify the elders of the congregation, "who orally accused her of apostasy, that they must specify in a letter the date of the judicial meeting so as to attend that meeting in the presence of her lawyer to protect her constitutional rights".
Let's see what will they do.

Why did Jesus have to die?
by Crazyguy inlet's think about this for a bit.
adam was tempted and sinned by eating of the fruit.
he missed out on immortality by being denied the tree of life.

Also, if Jesus passed the test and died for us for our sins, why we still die for our sins after 2000 years?. Why do we see too many divisions in the Christian religion? ....So, the Christian doctrine doesn't work, it is a fraud as any other religion. Note that the following is one of the main principles in the Christian religion:
Who is the liar? Whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ ( 1 John 2:22)
So, this religion is accusing whoever denies that Jesus is the Savior of all humans. However, Jesus wrote nothing for us, and his followers gave us a contradictory set of books,

Something that my devout JDUB cousin said...
by yogosans14 inwe used to be so close before she got heavily involved in the jw religion.
she actually got me into it (i actually believed all the nonsense) and i went to meetings with her and everything, we were like brother and sister.
she lives in texas now in a remote area where their is no cell phone signal or anything with her dad and mom (i think they said they moved their to get closer to jehovah which is weird).

Watchtower CO says:
We have never changed our stance, we have made progressive adjustments
Science does progressive adjustments, but the Watchtower Society does cosmetic changes, but maintains the same essential falsehood, namely, that Jesus (who died in the first century) appointed them in 1919.

Satan Let Out After 1000 Years, Makes Sense... or no?
by freemindfade inlong before i woke up as a born in, this never, i mean never ever had any good explanation for me, or not even a bad one.
the jws seem to have an explanation for everything even if it is bat shit cray, but the logic to this i have never been given.
if you ask did god put satan there to test/tempt whatever adam and eve, the answer would be of course not!

The Apocalypse is the product of a dishonest man who wanted to give "comfort" by inventing visions.
Furthermore, Yahweh does not exist, so Satan is also an invention.
