  Feel like I've failed

  by Mr Negative in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i need to get this off my chest, as i don't have many people to talk to about it who would understand.. i feel like i've failed my family, as not only have i been unable to get my parents and brother to see sense regarding the cult, but now my sister, who never got baptised but managed to escape twenty years ago, is now seriously considering going back for various "emotional" reasons, and i know that she won't listen to me.. i know they have all made their own decisions (at least, to the extent that brainwashed people can make their own decisions), and i can't really blame myself (even though i was the one who, when only ten years old, convinced my mum to listen to the poor lady on the doorstep out of politeness rather than just shut the door on her - so it is all indirectly my fault), but it still feels like i've failed them..

  Witness weddings

  by dothemath in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  recently went to a witness wedding, and after the vows the bride and groom were introduced as "brother and sister".....(then last name).....(then the big kiss).

  this is likely not unusual (i've heard it before), but with lots of "worldly" people in attendance it seems out of place to me.. i was just wondering if that's the way it is most places?.

  Who was/is the promised Messiah ? Jesus or Immanuel

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in isaiah 7:14 "therefore jehovah himself will give you men a sign look the maiden herself will actually become pregnant and she is giving birth to a son and she will certainly call his name immanuel".

  this scripture is attributed to the virgin birth of jesus from his mother mary to become the messiah.

  the problem is the name of the messiah isnt jesus its immanuel .

  Looking for a Book on Evolution

  by Saethydd in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am wondering if anyone is aware of a book or series of videos designed to explain evolution to creationists, (specifically the jw strain of creationism if possible) without being patronizing or overly confrontational.

  i would like to have something to recommend to people who challenge evolution, but i know that the sources which convinced me would turn most of them off because of the confrontational and at times condescending tone in which it's presented.. some examples of what i'm looking for would be someone who doesn't claim evolution is a fact until after they have presented all of the evidence that makes it a fact and also have addressed as many counter-arguments as possible..

  Whats the problem?

  by eyeuse2badub in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  like the noah of old, (as described in the bible), are modern day jw’s just poor teachers?

  i mean, noah, and i assume his family, preached for decades prior to the “deluge”.

  they were “clearly” or “evidently” poor at convincing their contemporaries that a ‘flood’ was a comin’.

  1. jw

  i came home to a watchtower in my door.

  i thought i had heard a while back that they had stopped putting literature in doors except for tracts whenever they had one of their campaigns.

  why am i so special?.
