The More I Think, The More I Lose Faith In BIBLE!!

by NoMoreHustle in

sitting through this weeks wt study.

paragraph came up about how "a fire came out from jah & consumed (korah and) the 250 men offering the incense".

i said to myself this supposedly happened couple of thousand years ago.

I appreciate everyone's input on this matter. Everything is kind of cloudy right now about the bible and the stories that I am supposed to put all of this stock in. I amsupposed to believe that all of this really happened & it affects my life in some super powerful way. But it doesn't. Just being honest with myself. NMH

Sitting through this weeks WT study. Paragraph came up about how "a fire came out from Jah & consumed (korah and) the 250 men offering the incense". I said to myself this supposedly happened couple of thousand years ago. It is the year 2014 what relevance do these bible accounts or I think now made up stories have anything to do, with what is happening now?

Then the detailed account in paragraphs 8-11 about how "Timothy would not have been swayed by the actions of those apostate tendecies" & he stood for true worship. On & On it goes. It is like WT was there recording each & every aspect of what SUPPOSEDLY HAPPENED.

I really am starting to think that the whole bible thing is really starting to look more like a bunch of little stories contrived by man. Just an opinion & still trying to figure things out for myself. NMH

JW GB MEMBER CAUGHT ON CAMERA!!!

by ADJUSTMENTS in

jw
friends

gb member and so called "annointed" person geoffry jackson is caught red handed on video doing some worldly dancing and sexual gyrating (they have spoken against such manner of dancing on several occasions) with a woman who is not his wife!!!

i can only imagine what they do off camera now!!!.

i would not have even considerd doing such a thing on the dance floor with a woman, especially if it was not my wife, and i'm not even one of the so called "annointed" smh!!!

NoMoreHustle

This is such a NON-STORY! Who cares, it is not that eye opening. When he opens his big mouth spewing the usual B$ from WT is more hideous than that stupid dance clip of 15 seconds. Footloose video is way more appalling than this

when i first learned about the bull $#@!

about the cult that i am in, i reached out to my good friend who brought me into this organization through a study.

this man is wonderful human being & i thought would be understanding to my struggles.

When I first learned about the bull $#@! about the cult that I am in, I reached out to my good friend who brought me into this organization through a study. This man is wonderful human being & I thought would be understanding to my struggles. It is going on almost 2 years now & I still have not heard back from him.

I was very sincere with my ?'s to him, he was after all an elder in the ORG. I wasn't sure that something was wrong with ORG until our conversation was abruptly ended by his re-action to what I was asking him. The clincher for him was when I asked about NGO staus etc. He said "There is no way that is true period" so I knew then that there is no reasoning with him whatsoever.

I realized that night without a doubt in my mind it is a CULT! Now I just gotta convince wife & couple of other family members. It has been very hard though, but I remain optimistic. NMH

Would you go to church?

by Coded Logic in

i have an unspoken rule that if someone ever invites me to a church - that i haven't been to before - i will go.

even though i'm an atheist i'm still interested in the experiance.

just like i'm not into basketball but i would like to go to a game sometime to feel the energy of the crowd.. growing up as a jw i've never set foot in another church.

NoMoreHustle

Umm. NO! Let me think about it Umm still NO! Oh I better re-think it! Umm still came up with HELL NO!!

While sitting through a dreadful meeting today, while staring into SPACE, I wondered what is next for JW's now that the "GREATEST PREACHING CAMPAIGN" in the history of mankind is over. What is everyone gonna be obsessed with now? Who knows maybe the Annual Meeting? I am proud to say I didn't do a darn thing not even one minute of field service!!

I hear it but I can't believe it

my elder friend told me that his kh is in need of upgrading their electronic system so that they can be ready for the big zone meeting in november and they need the flat screen televisions mounted to also enjoy all future special meetings put on by the branch.

the branch has given them the exact specifications and he mentioned the branch wants to use apple products.

they passed a resolution for a one time donation by the publishers to pay for the $6,000.00 system.

NoMoreHustle

I can say first hand account there are two new probably 50" TV's mounted in our Kingdom Hall. They have been up for over a month now. It is amazing how no one even asks why???

I AGREE 100%. I saw a pic on JW Instagram where some poor dude just got baptized (or right before) and some brother is pinning a JW.ORg pin on his ADDIDAS T-SHIRT http://instagram.com/p/sGX8CYnIYE/?modal=true

It is like some sort of initiation or coronation now. This is getting completely & utterly out of control.

THE MUSIC DILEMMA: TO LISTEN OR NOT TOO LISTEN?

by NoMoreHustle in

i always thought this was a double standard amongst witnesses.

what exactly is acceptable to jw's when it comes to music?

an example is prince.

NoMoreHustle

I always thought this was a double standard amongst witnesses. What exactly is acceptable to JW's when it comes to music? An example is Prince. How is it OK to listen to him now that he is a JW (I think), but not before? So can you listen to songs like "Darling Nikki" or "Sexy M.F"? Or can you just listen to his post JW days? Makes no sense at all!

Another example is Pharrell's "Happy", is it OK cause he say's in song "Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth"? JW's are you serious this is a guy that has very racy songs (WHICH I LOVE) called "Truth or Dare" or "Tape You".

Seeing those videos of JW's getting down to "Happy", they must really think that the song has something to do with them or he was inspired to write that song because he knows that "JW's are HAPPY", Give me a break! Anywayz I love both PRINCE & PHARRELL's music & always had!!
