  Serve Jehovah get everlasting life don't serve get everlasting death

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah's personality is explosive with no guarantees he won't blow a head gasket and destroy your ass for some petty offense.. i know the jws claim jehovah always keeps his word and once you get to heaven or pass the final test you got guaranteed everlasting life.

  but when we look in the bible jehovah seems to kill even his worshipers over trifles, so who is to say that someday he won't get pissed off and destroy the whole human race and start all over again?.

  while i don't believe the bible or what the wt corporation teaches about jehovah personality, if what they say is true then i would much rather die than live an eternity under the whims of such a capricious jehovah.. the reward system the bible has promoted is really terrible and not to be grasped at..

  2. current

  according to radio news earlier today he was raised as a jw but was told to leave home when he was disfellowshipped and turned to the mosque for support.. a teenager who was on his way to behead a british soldier with a 12in knife when he was arrested, has been found guilty of preparing a terrorist act.. brusthom ziamani, 19, was also carrying a hammer and an "islamic flag" when he was arrested in london in august 2014......

  Just been reading about this. It was bad for his parents to disown him for leaving the WTS. Of course, that had nothing to do with him being found with a 12 inch knife, a hammer and a black flag of jihad.

  He could have chosen to live within the law and worship at his local mosque. Instead, he chose to get involved with terrorism. I hope they lock him up and throw away the key.

  end of the worldhow and whenexplained scientifically!.

  problem with humans is that they dont learn from mistakes.

  their greed has already spoiled air and water, and brought global warming which would ultimately sink most of the inhabited earth!.

  "Scum, roosters, jackasses, harlots, s.o.b.s" hate speech by JW's the reason for their "persecution"???

  by TerryWalstrom in

  from the online journal yad l'achim .

  http://yadlachim.org/?categoryid=203&articleid=577.

  in the above article jehovah's witnesses and the jews, a great many controversial issues are placed squarely in the spotlight of history.

  Good post, Simon.

  Their boasts are more cultish crap.

  From what I've read about him, Rutherford was an egotistical bully and a loudmouth.

  Apparently, every non-witness belonged to 'the Devil's organisation'.

  I feel sorry for ordinary JWs that bore the brunt of persecution, while Rutherford drank alcohol in Beth Sarim or was chauffeured around in one of his Cadillacs.

  Is there anything about the JW's you still like?

  by donny in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  some jw's on various postingshave asked me was there anything about the jw's i still agree with.

  of course there are some things i agree with and some i partially do.

  1. political involvement - while i do not agree with totally avoiding anything associated with politics, i agree that many of todays churches are way too involved in trying to sway their constituents beliefs.

  Is there anything about the JW's you still like? - the 'clean lifestyle' aspect is vaguely appealing to me sometimes. This can be found among atheists, agnostics, members of other churches/religions, though.

  Including the congregation in the discussion - I never saw much of this. Some things were put to a vote - congregation members never voted against, in my experience.

  I agree with the OP - religions should be apolitical.

  That's about it.

  How many JWs really believe the end will come "soon"?

  by BU2B in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this topic has been on my mind lately.

  i have been looking around at jws and wondering how many truly believe the end is as near as they are told.

  from my personal experience, i know that my parents fully believe the end is imminent and may come any time now.

  Based on my own experience and on what I've read here, it seems to me that there are two groups of JWs: those that genuinely believe the end is near and swallow everything the GB spews forth; and those that largely believe they've got 'the truth' (or the closest thing to it) but don't really know when 'the end' will come.

  I also think that group 1 are a minority but are 'zealous' so fill many positions of oversight.

  The blind leading the blind.

  Four Blood Moons might be significant

  by CharlieSmith1975 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuqzhnx7xma.

  the bible does say that the "day of jehovah" (armageddon) would be associated with the sun becoming dark followed by the moon turning to blood.

  but the moon turning to blood is specific to a total lunar eclipse.

  Charlie/larsinger - being transgendered and in the WTS must've been a total nightmare. Have you thought about seeing a counsellor?

  All the best

  Take care

  I agree with the OP that the WTS cannot hide its history because of the internet.

  The internet seems to have played a major role in helping people see 'the truth' for what it is.

  But will that lead to 'a mass awakening'? I find that hard to believe.

  Why I became agnostic after leaving the Watchtower

  by donny in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one of many things that led me to agnosticism after leaving the jw's was the cognitive dissonance i encountered with those in the mainstream churches, especially the really conservative ones.

  these types would scream out in protest (rightly so) on all of the current atrocities going on in the world regarding islam and its radical extremists, but then justify the savage murders and slaughter perpetuated by israel in the old testament.. often i would take these passages and replace the names and places of these scriptures with current ones.

  for example 1 samuel 15:3 reads "now go, attack the amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them.

  Good OP, Donny.

  I've also become agnostic since leaving the WTS.

  For me, as I was leaving, it was the case that the brothers copied the WTS and regularly criticised 'Christendom' but stayed silent on Islamic terrorism. I mean, how can celebrating xmas or easter be worse that suicide bombing or decapitation?! When I put this to a young brother, this was his reply: 'but they're not real muslims. True muslims believe the same as us'

  I could have followed this up with ' so, will muslims worship Allah in mosques in the new system?' or 'will Jehovah destroy the religion of Islam at Armageddon?' but there's only so much bullsh1t I can take.
