Now Even JW Men Are Going To Die At The Big A

by OneFingerSalute in

so this weekend there was a part about not following jesus at a distance.

the speaker made a big point of stating that any baptized jw male who was not either appointed ms/elder, or at the very least "reaching out" actively, was in fact following jesus at a distance.

he said that the only way to live through the big a was to follow jesus closely.

Jesus replied, “And you experts in the law, woe to you, because you load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, and you yourselves will not lift one finger to help them." - Luke 11:46 New International Version

This is a topic I am going to kill with my opening post.Why haven`t the Major religions of Christendom exposed J.W.`s as the true Apostates

by smiddy in

i am initially thinking of the major religious institutions of christianity , catholic ,many branches , church of england , and the major protestant religions , too numerous to mention here.. after all their is 40,000 plus christian religions in the world today ?so obviously j.w.`s are not the only false religion .. so my real question is really , to do with the mainstream christian religions , why are`nt they more aggressive in their condemnation of the jehovah witness religion for their obvious failings ,flip backs ,contradictions ,prophecy`s that never eventuated , end of the world predictions ,re-inventing their past history , even distancing themselves from their past history , and their founding members , such as c.t.russell and j.f.rutherford whose policies they now reject... they need to get on board and bleed it for all it`s worth .. smiddy .

In 1660 the Puritans in the Massachusetts colony executed a woman by the name of Mary Dyer for the heinous crime of having a different religion than theirs. Is this worse than the Witnesses? It's not that simple.

I view things on the basis of not just what a dictatorial group is and does but what they could become if allowed. The Watchtower would be executing people if they had sovereign territory - a country of their own.

"Why haven`t the Major religions of Christendom exposed J.W.`s as the true Apostates"

In the 1970s when I was a teenage Witness there was an organization named Christian Research Institute (CRI) which was highly aggressive against the Witnesses. They would come to the JW assemblies and try to pass out literature.

I remember, on the day that I was baptized at Dodger Stadium, leaving for home in a school bus full of Witnesses. I saw the CRI people aggressively trying to flag down our bus down waving literature in their hands. The bus driver stopped out of curiosity before they realized who they were. I was curious so I looked out the window and reached out for whatever it was that they were waving. You should have seen the enthusiasm in their faces as they lifted the literature up to me. When I got it, it was a crudely mimeographed/Xeroxed magazine called Not the Watchtower.

When the Witnesses found out who they were and saw that I was getting a copy they were frantically yelling at me telling me not to read it. I had opened a page and saw the most garish type setting. While I only glanced at the article without reading it I saw all sorts of dates and quotes in all capital letters.

HOW MANY WOULD LEAVE?

by disillusioned 2 in

jw
friends

there are a lot of people on this site and others who even though they don't believe anymore still fill the seats at the meetings.. i was just wondering, if they all decided to leave at the same time, how many do you think would leave?

would the numbers drop dramatically?

i would love to see that..

If they weren't to be shunned by family or friends maybe 25% would leave.

75% left during the Rutherford takeover and it only distilled the organization down to the hard core. There would be less money and free labor though if many left.

ecan6,

"I wish you had a recording of that manure."

All still ins should record their meetings although there might be an issue with personal security. You can always run into something said that hasn't been officially recorded.

Blondie, can you give us a time mark of the interesting comments?
