Why did you leave the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses?

by Vanderhoven7 in

i've never been a witness so i never left.

for some years i’d had a growing irritation and disillusionment with the religion: i was getting tired of the pompousness, the arrogance and the control, i felt increasingly choked by their restrictions and i was drained by their demands on my time.

Van:

“Then David praised Jehovah before the eyes of all the congregation. David said: “May you be praised, O Jehovah the God of Israel our father, throughout all eternity. 11 Yours, O Jehovah, are the greatness and the mightiness and the beauty and the splendor and the majesty, for everything in the heavens and on the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Jehovah. You are the One exalting yourself as head over all. 12 The riches and the glory are from you, and you rule over everything, and in your hand there are power and mightiness, and your hand is able to make great and to give strength to all. 13 And now, O our God, we thank you and praise your beautiful name.” 1Ch 29:10-13

Hailstone message.....June 23 WT

by mikeflood in

new jun 23 wt....elders to follow gideon example, even if instructions doesn't seems practical, gideon reduced army by 99 % and he obeyed, it could be changes in theocratic direction similar to this.

what that means?.

elders will need the courage to follow instructions "may relate to delivering a symbolic hailstone message...".. in another section "major world events may raise some from spiritual slumber".

“This good news of the kingdom will be preached.” (To be followed by bad news.)

Just read that Carl Olof Jonsson died yesterday

by slimboyfat in

for newbies, who was carl olof jonsson?

he was a jw in sweden who was challenged by a householder in the 1960s, who pointed out to him that secular history books don’t agree with watchtower that jerusalem was destroyed in 607 bce, but instead place the event 20 years later.

the reason the date is important is because it is the starting date for jw chronology which leads to 1914 as the end of the gentile times, and the beginning of the last days, as jws understand it.

Fisherman

Such obvious lies.

Wrong

Already linked responses to their nonsense on this thread earlier today.

The Watch Tower Society's attempts to defend its doctrines are pathetic.

No they are not.

I have already specifically rebutted the Watch Tower Society's attempts to defend 607.

No you haven’t.

Still waiting for you to back up your claim that I've employed logical fallacies too.

Read.

I am still waiting for proof that falsifies 607.

The Twos : tattoos. Not the 1900,1901..1920,1980,1999 -But the twos: two thousand, two thousand one, two thousand two, two thousand twenty two: THETWOS—TATTOOS. Like the 60’s sexties was the sex revolution. Or the music band, The Police, song “Every breath you take” and police choke holds suffocating people.

It’s what people ironically do.

Wrong from the first sentence.

Wrong.

Objecting to information solely on the basis that you disagree with it is fallacious.

Fallaseeking

Opinions and interpretations are arguable. You conclude too much when you read. Im interested in proof and not rehashing the same argument wt has already rebutted. Believe what you like. Not interest in fallacious conclusions.

WT scholars have over many decades produced scholarly research which proves 607 BCE as the only possible date for the Fall of Jerusalem

I’ve listened to other schools of thought with an open mind but I believe in wt 607. Even if I wasn’t a JW I would still believe unless there is evidence that shows it is another date.

An apologist is like a defense attorney that advocates someone regardless of truth and resorts to fallacy and doesn’t have to believe in what he is defending. I don’t see the info scholar posted on this topic as apologetic. Jeffro tries to push his assertions and conclusions as fact but only beliefs that wt has already replied to. Don’t like wt replies? Prove otherwise.
