Wolves in sheep clothing

by Israel Ricky Gonzales in

i was baptized then i was 15 years old and just entering high school.

i had been a perfect jw teenager through out my high school years, although i craved to be a little bit worldly.

when i graduated high school, i moved out and got a job working with my older non-jw brother.

Don't be sorry for it, they are not the true religion anyway, there is no one true organization. God deals with people individually, not with organizations.

how much do you want to bet that the organization has already started preparing articles for the watchtower magazines, convention talks, circuit overseers talks and letters to bodies of elders, to refute what is happening in australia?

.

right now the most important thing for the wt to do is protect their image that they are gods visible organization.especially in the u.s. and latin american countries.

paradisebeauty

I was thinking of this today ... they are probably preparing articles, maybe a small change of the doctrine and conclude that the tribulation is starting with an atack at the true religion ...

I hope this goes further and that their position as a charity org. is also questioned ...

They took the Name of the Lord in vain and they deceived a lot of people.

New World Translation Versions/Revisions

by PietaHouse in

hi folks.

new here, and growing weary of finding an e-text version of one of the earlier releases of the new world translation.

i have searched high and low, and for some reason, it is as if it does not exist.. i'm catholic, but for research purposes and as a courtesy to jws, i've put the 1984 and the 2013 versions in a database format for e-sword (e-sword.net).

paradisebeauty

@ Pieta

I had no idea you can put the nwt in that program....

do you have to torrent link or name?

I downloaded e-sword a few weeks ago but did not learn how to use it, yet

Sad about the past

by Gorbatchov in

jw
friends

today i feel deep sad memories in my brain.. visiting bookstudy with my parents, doing my best giving answers at 7 years old.. doing fieldservice every weekend and on an evening.. i could write so much story's about it.. we believed from our hart and listened to what the organisation told us.. it makes me sad, what a scam it became.. today i can't stand it.. i can cry about it.

.

gorby.

paradisebeauty

Don't feel sad. God is not in an organization. God is alive and we can have a personal relationship with Him. We do not need any other mediator but Jesus, no organization, no group of people, no one else.

JW ended a relationship with me

by V1922 in

my jw boyfriend just ended a year and a half relationship with me.

it came out the blue and i'm deeply hurt by this because we were so compatible.

he did it right before the big annual gathering he is presently attending.

paradisebeauty

It is strictly forbitten for JW's to have sex without being married!

he is a fake, a gross sinner and a deceiver.

You should tell on him, he will do the same to other women.

Update on Royal Commission

by umbertoecho in

paedophiles repeatedly promoted to positions of authority in jehovahs witness church royal commission told.

1 hour ago july 27, 2015 12:45pm.

counsel assisting the royal commission, angus stewart sc has told the royal commission that church elders could now face criminal charges.

paradisebeauty

They are so full of s#!t, pardon my french, but I feel sick when I hear / see phrases like:

‘embrace God’s Kingdom under Christ’ and to ‘love God with all your heart and your neighbour as yourself’

who do they love? no one, just numbers and titles

they do not even believe Jesus will return visibly, they want to rule the world by themselves

Dragging Jehovah's name trough the mud!

by truthseekeriam in

jw
friends

listening to the first survivor testify to the australian royal commission really brought back some feelings i had put aside.. the feelings of guilt you feel for doing the right thing is extremely hard even when you know it's illogical it doesn't stop the abuse you do to yourself with these toxic thoughts of "dragging jehovah's name through the mud" i guess it doesn't help that you have the elders freaking out saying "reproach, reproach...this is bad!!

it took quite awhile for me to come to terms with how completely ridicules it is to think jehovah would want this hidden.

the truth is the religion wants it hidden and they are perfectly fine with destroying lives along the way!!

paradisebeauty

The only reason why I am sorry this happens is Jehovah's name.

They shouldn't have used His name for their organization. It only shows how puffed and full of themselves they were and are.

A Whole New Watchtower Society (Governing Body 3.0 / Simplified Society)

by FusionTheism in

a whole new watchtower society (governing body 3.0 / simplified society).

i'm not here to attack the governing body, watchtower society, or the jehovah's witnesses (jw) organization.

the bible says there is just "one hope" for christians (ephesians 4:4).

You should read about dispensation theory.

They say we now live in the dispensation or administration of the church / of the grace / sacred sectret.

During this time, the only christian hope is heaven, and christians getting a glorified unperishable body (when they are resurrected or raptured) similar to Christ's body after resurrection.

This period ends with the rapture and is followed by the last week of Daniel's 70 weeks prophecy. During that time tribulation comes to earth, salvation will be through deeds not just faith, some of Israel will accept Jesus and it all ends with Jesus coming back, and the raptured church with Him, to administer and rule the earth for 1000 years. (I believe they will rule over all "unjust" people who will be resurrected as fleshly humans, who are resurrected but not saved yet, as they do not get "glorified" unperishable bodies)

You can check dispensation, premilenarism, pre tribulation rapture. (english is not my first language and I might have misspelled some terms)
