  Nothing in life is stable as a Jehovah's Witness...

  by silentbuddha in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  at least in hindsight it would appear so.

  i remember as a small kid not making friends because ultimately they were going to die.

  i never saved anything because money would be useless in the new world.

  It was a false sense of security.
  
  Disappointing is the understatement of the overlapping century...

  Wouldn't be great if it was trump that convinced Russia to stop persecuting the JW's

  by nowwhat? in

  after all those prayers and letters that didn't do squat.

  and it was trump that helped the russian brothers.

  then what would the jdub's say?

  I'd rather see Putin tell Trump what the ORG really is and move him to investigate the dubs in the USA.

  Why remove John 8:1-11 in the NWT if these verses speak highly of Jesus

  by I_love_Jeff in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i understand these verses were removed in the nwt as well as some other bibles because they were added later & considered uninspired.

  jesus protected an adultress so why remove it?

  it fits in nicely with his teachings, does it not?

  2. child-abuse

  so i'm downtown and i see two jws hanging out on a bench by a cart.

  i approached them and said, i saw you guys on the news, there was a child abuse cover-up in philadelphia.

  they don't respond and just look at me.

  then the bad news.

  NWT 1984 vs NWT 2013

  by Tallon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i recently had a discussion with a jw concerning a change in wording of a scripture - in fact this was my all time favourite scripture, namely, micah 6:8.. my view is that the wtbts have deliberately changed the wording and meaning of the said scripture.

  the other person is of the opinion that that is not the case.

  micah 6:8.

  I am baffled that John 8:1-12 was removed from their bible.
  
  It's a verse that makes judging and shunning impossible if you claim to be Christian.

  Upcoming Tidal Wave of Media Onslaught targeting Jehovah's Witnesses ahead...

  by TerryWalstrom in

  2. scandals

  at least three media venues have undertaken the daunting task of unpacking the insidious dark side of jehovah's witnesses' organization.1.

  douglas quenqua is a writer based in new york.

  his work has appeared in the new york times, wired, redbook, and cnbc.

  I feel sorry for the dear older ones ( like my soon to be JW ex-wife ).
  
  They will finally see that they were wrong and it will crush them.
  Such a tragedy.

  Receiving so much hate recently....

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, as you all know, my wife (unstuck) and i are not df or da.. we just stopped attending several years back after my "apostate" online activity was found by a nosey employee of ours while she was working in our office (long story if anyone wants to know - it would have to be another thread).

  we never met with any elders - no congregation judicial activity occurred (as we would never consent to do so anyway).

  so our policy has been to be the same kind, loving, normal people we have always been.

  It seems that the ORG manipulated their/our minds to the point where we didn't have real relationships based on love or trust. It was an ILLUSION.
  
  True love does not shun.
  We were under mind control. They still are.

  It's a nightmare

  Wouldn't it be fun to ask them point blank:
  " When did this organization have the truth?"
  
  1874, 194, 1918-19, 1925, 1975, 1999, 2014...
  When?

  I always get a kick out of:
  "Show me from the bible alone the overlapping generation concept..."
  
  Of course you will need to do what is necessary to maintain your life.

  Sorry about the way people treat you that are supposed to love their enemies.
  Gotta shout about how they are the 'true religion' because of the love amongst themselves.

  They'll never learn.
  You can't talk bad about everyone in 'the world' and expect them to be drawn to you.
  
  JWs repel people because of their cruel conduct and reputation.
  There's no hiding it anymore.
