  There are more miracles coming from Christendom than the JW's.

  Yet, they lay claim to having God's blessing. What a joke.

  Damaging Children With the Christian Gospel

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the christian gospel begins with the dehumanising assertion that all humans are fallen sinners who deserve nothing but god's judgement and wrath.. not only does this taint all relationships between christians and unbelievers, it destroys the beautiful innocence of childhood.

  in a recent edition of the popular christian radio program "family life today", titled “introducing your child to god,” co-host bob lepine discussed teaching “practical theology” to his young daughter, explaining:.

  when my daughter, amy, was still less than two years old, i started teaching practical theology to her.

  Your post just remind me of something I said some years ago at a meeting:

  "From the moment we are born, we are born sinners, we have begun to die, and unless we change that, we will die in an eternal sense."

  The comment is true, of course not to you [cofty] or the majority of those on this forum, but to Christian believing people it is. However, thinking back now, I'm disappointed with myself for having said it so passionately and openly like that with many children in attendance. I think that the same can be taught just by adhering to the moral standards taught in the Bible. Sometimes being blunt to minds that are not prepared to hear it can be detrimental. I still believe in the Christian God of the Bible yet I never taught that to any of my children or while in field service to any other children. My thoughts.

  What is truth?

  by Heisenberg in

  2. friends

  well, i have been lurking on this site for several months and i recently decided to join as a member.

  i have made several observations and would like to make a few comments.. first, i am perplexed by the attitude of many on this site that are either former or active (but apostate) jws.

  they seem to have a strong hatred for the wts and also for rank and file jws.

  the excellent italian ex-jw website geova.org directs its readers' attention to two big news articles on the jw pedophilia problem.

  milan-based il corriere della sera is one of italy's most respected newspapers:.

  We have created a story and believe it is true. I have done this many times.

  So basically many of the stories you have told are complete fabrications? Nice.

  Jehovah or Jesus: Who Is To Come?

  by Cold Steel in

  2. beliefs

  one thing i've never understood about jw eschatology is how it views armageddon and the end times.

  the leaders and writers have evolved in their understanding of what's supposed to happen in the timeline.

  below are bible scriptures relating to biblical armageddon.

  JW said they are unique

  by StephaneLaliberte in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  looking at a news article, i read the following:.

  “that’s one thing that’s unique about jehovah’s people,” said marty mettler, a spokesman for the green bay convention.

  “they even tell the hotels when they book they’re coming because some people book and don’t show.

  Yes, they are unique. Unique ass**les that is.

  Take away the fear of being disciplined by the eldersand you'll have another regular Joe. Yet they are too stupid to realize it

  Was Jesus really a Jehovah`s Witness ? He never identified himself as such , in word or deed.

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  also he never chastised the jews for not identifying themselves as jehovah`s witnesses following isaiah`s statement at ch.43 :10-12 , so many years before hand.. and he had ample opportunity to do so on numerous occasions .. jesus himself never used the divine name /jehovah or any other equivalent , in any of his sayings attributed to him by his contemporaries .. sure he acknowledged god as his father and that he did his fathers will , but he never acknowledged him by a personal name such as jehovah or anything like it.. and lets not forget acts 11:26 it was first in antioch that followers of jesus by divine providence were to be called christians , not jehovah`s witnesses,.

  smiddy.

  Someone anonymously tipped the elders?

  by raven in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so here an update on my current situation, in a nutshell i've been trying to quietly fade for the past 5 months.. well, my mom somehow found out that i am currently fading and that i live with my boyfriend (for more info on this check my previous posts) i told her yes i live with him and yes i no longer want to be a jw.

  anyways, yesterday she met my boyfriend.. awkward.

  and after lunch she pulled me aside to tell me that the po came up to her (he was part of my jc when i was reproved) he said to her "someone came to me and said - i cannot say who so they will remain anonymous- but that your daughter is living with someone" my mom confirmed and apparently he told her that i have one week to confess this, and if i don't my parents are obligated to tell them everything.. what kind of nonsense is that?

  Hey there. I would not worry about it. If you are no longer attending or identifying yourself as a Jehovah's Witness according to what governing body member Geoffrey Jackson testified to the Australian Royal Commission the elders should not be bothering you and should leave you alone. I would send them either the video or the transcript with a big friendly fyou. I hope this alleviates your worries.
