  The Bible or God? - A Message to Formerbrother

  by David_Jay in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  “i still can not find any other option that comes as close to all the bible as jws do.”-- from the profile of formerbrother.. this is lengthy, but it should help you, formerbrother.

  the problem is not in your search for this "option" but that you are searching according the criteria set out by the jehovah’s witnesses (and likely following the reasoning set out by their claims).. before proceeding, understand clearly (as there will always be someone reading this that will skip this point that i make) that i am not writing to advance any particular religious view.

  though raised and baptized as a jehovah’s witness in my late teen years, i am jewish.

  Why didn't you send him a private message rather than outing him in a public post like this?

  Odd choice of words

  by Nevuela in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  why is it that when a jw gives someone a magazine, they use the word "place" instead of "give"?

  as in "i placed a magazine with him".

  and why do regular door-to-door jws of no special rank refer to themselves as publishers?

  so, it finally happened.

  the first time i have been called out for being an apostate.

  it started out innocently enough: my family and i were watching a tv show.

  Kudos for standing up to them. Next time you do, you might want to add:
  
  1. that their precious God doesn't condone talking shit about people or casting judgment on them, and that includes "worldly" folks celebrating 4th of July
  
  2. that we are to love our neighbors as ourselves because Jesus said that is the second most important commandment after loving God
  
  3. that "worldly" people don't know any better because their interpretation of the Bible doesn't tell them do this/don't do this
  
  4. that if you're not to have anything to do with "worldly" people, then you shouldn't even be watching TV, which is produced by, stars, and depicts characters that are, by the vast majority, non-JW/worldly. Nor should they seek out the help of worldly police, doctors, lawyers, gardeners, builders, etc.

  Take your pick.

  They're usually smart enough to see through that kind of thing. He'll probably diagnose you with smartassism.

  2016 Election getting family members disfellowshipped

  2. experiences

  http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2016/11/21/election-rhetoric-getting-people-uninvited-thanksgiving/94208524/.

  sarah-jane cunningham knew that her facebook posts about the election were rubbing her family the wrong way, but she didn’t realize the posts would get her uninvited from thanksgiving dinner.. the 19-year-old said her mother called a week before thanksgiving and confronted her about the facebook posts regarding president-elect donald trump.. “she asked me if i was going to be disrespectful to my family, and i told her that it could work either way, cunningham said.

  "if the things i am saying are disrespectful to trump supporters, the things they are saying are also disrespectful to me.”.

  baker - Ryan never said anything about the price of tea in China. If that was a joke on your part, you're going to have to explain it, and if you have to explain a joke, then it obviously isn't funny.

  The cleaning bug

  by Steel in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have a wife that literally cleans the house 24 7. it's hard on our marriage, our son has no natural affection for her.

  if we go to an assembly she literally spends two days waxing and polishing the car.

  she hand washes all the clothes before go into the washing machine because no machine could ever do as good a job as her.

  Great Tribulation and Trump

  by TakeOffTheCrown in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  please, let's discuss this subject without attacking one another.. it appears that trump has won a victory that no one expected.

  is it possible that trump may play a part in the great tribulation?.

  there are some who believe trump is one of the most unqualified of men to ever be elected president of the united states.

  Those of you saying there is no god or divine being, no messiah, no tribulation, no new system to come are far too sure of yourselves. You don't know any more than those who are certain that those things exist. They may not be able to back their beliefs with hard evidence, but you can't either. NEVER be sure of anything you can't prove.
  
  For the record, I am an agnostic. I don't believe 100% in anything that hasn't proven itself to me. I don't even have the crutch of blind faith to lean on. If you say there is no God, I will argue that there might be. If you insist there is a God, I will argue that there may not be. Kindly do not assume your point of view is the only correct one to have. The Watchtower does this same exact thing and you condemn them for it. Please don't be hypocrites.

  i really hate all these "what if" posts

  by nowwhat? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  all these hypothetical questions about the organization's demise or what if god did this or that don't do anyone any good.

  personal experiences.

  info and insight about your congregation, circuit, area and the watchtower itself is what we need.

  Don't like 'em, don't read 'em. Simple as that.

  And as you can see, there are several people here who hate rant posts like the one you've started here, and if some of them had their way, you would not have the freedom to post a rant. Please remember that when you see posts you don't want to see.
