Does a Non J-Dub blame themself??

by J-DUBBED in

jw
friends

that's the question that always enters my mind.is it possible that our son got pulled into the cult club because of something we did or did not do?

we raised them good just like all their freinds and relatives were raised.

there are none of his old freinds or relatives that jumped ship and went to the cult club.. are there any others out there that were "never" j-dubs that could relate?.

A short list of inconsistencies

does anyone have a short list of inconsistencies or can write some out for me, from both the bible and wt doctrine.

things such as: jobs test and noah's ark not being enough for gods sovereignty, why not just let adam and eve die without having children, tower of babel after the flood, jws can die at armageddon yet even satan gets more time.

the ultimate stopper for me is when people say its about jehovahs kingdom and sovereignty and we preach to save the wicked.

I need help

by tiredroadie in

im new here, and dont know much about jw, other than what im reading.

i have my best friend who is having bible study in her home with 2 witnesses, and she is soaking it in.

she is very defensive and is getting more and more closed off.

I would suggest you act interested and study with her....then on your own with her study and introduce jwfacts information. If you can't beat them ( which you can't without pushing her away) join them.

A real chat with my brother

by All for show in

my brother called to chat, which is shocking from the man of few words, off the cuff i let him know last weekend i learned that the outrageous socks he wears are inappropriate.

i let him know i would no longer be associating with him and the fact that he has been inactive for the past 10 years he has blood on his hands and i didnt want that dripping all over my freshly cleaned floors.

i also told him the internet was no longer naughty, but the fact that he wasn't an ms ever, showed his lack of spiritual maturity.

I also told him the internet was no longer naughty, but the fact that he wasn't an MS ever, showed his lack of spiritual maturity. His long beard is clearly a sign of rebellion and there is no way Jehovah will let him through Armaggedon. He reminded me Jesus died for all mankind... I had to update him since his pathetic lack of attendance that Jesus did not die for him, he died for the annointed ( which will probably be changed to the FDS only) and only by following our earthly leaders may we maybe, only with so much service hours and donations, be saved.

We had a good laugh, he was shocked and continued a 2 hour conversation. he did warn about going and reading apostate literature .... Then I told him all I learned. Especially all the money sweeps, assembly hall costs, and lawsuits. He told me he longer identifies himself as a JW. He told me another sibling who I'm not in much contact told him he hasn't gone in 5 years, and attends another church, not identifying as a JW either. Neither knew TTATT, they just have feelings that something is wrong And don't give. a crap. Our other 2 siblings are trying... They are young males 20's and single....so we shall see. They live at home so they have parental pressure. There you have it 5 kids, 3/5 are done with 'The truth'

seriously, i am so thankful that the org has officially allowed the use of ipads and tablets at the kingdom hall!.

it is the only thing that keeps me sane while sitting there....being able to log on to this site while pretending to follow along with the program!.

i think i would have literally lost my mind without this lifeline!.

My fairly strait laced Jdub girlfriend told me on Sunday at a get together, sisters were gathered together making fun of the zone visit. About 20 sisters ages 21-40. She said on Instagram, #jwhumor, are hilarious things poking fun. Then someone wrote that making fun of the GB is insulting the GB and Jehovah, gives apostates ammunition, and they're was a reason we weren't to record etc.

She thinks, with others in this age group, it's bogus but of course 'the truth'

Zone Visit: An Announcement That Will "Test Your Faith"

by breakfast of champions in

I asked an older JW sister who is very in, but anti DFing and shunning, what she would think if they introduced tithing... She said "We would have become a part of Christendom" she then called her husband 75 year old to see his thoughts and he said it won't happen, ' that's what false religion does, not us'

maybe that's what will rock older people's boats...tithing...because it's 'what the world does'
