  2. beliefs

  so the other day i was walking through the huge local regional outlet shopping mall.

  i see this sign "how do deal with anxiety" didn't take very long at all to confirm it was a jw booth.. that sign bothered me.

  do jw actually think they have something to say about anxiety?

  What kind of errors in the Bible?

  by TheWonderofYou in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the new testament specialist daniel wallace notes that although there are about 300,000 individual variations of the text of the new testament, this number is very misleading.

  most of the differences are completely inconsequential--spelling errors, inverted phrases and the like.

  a side by side comparison between the two main text families (the majority text and the modern critical text) shows agreement a full 98% of the time.[18].

  "Has the New Testament been altered?"

  Are you taking into account the ending in the book of Mark which has two different conclusions? - Mark 16:9-19

  Or the account of the adulteress being stoned by the Pharisees which is only found in certain texts? - John 7:53-8:11

  What started me on the path to waking up about the lies the WT teaches?

  by oppostate in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it was a simple question: isn't jesus my "mediator" if i put faith in him like the scriptures say?

  the research to that answer, from the w79 4/1 p. 31, was mind blowing.

  how dare they deny me a belief firmly stated in the scriptures?

  "What research helped you see the WT for the false prophet it really is?"

  There really wasn't a doctrinal issue that affected me prior to my disfellowshipping for apostasy. What irked me was the self worshipping attitude of the Watchtower who kept inserting themselves into practically every scripture - type anti-type teaching - and other self serving misinterpretations such as the "faithful and discrete slave".

  Index of acronyms : help for new forumers

  by Mary J Blige in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  am finding a whole lot of acronyms that are really foreign to me and i now have an appreciation for what cult language sounds like to non-culters.

  wondering please if you can post your definitions so i can get up to speed.

  otherwise, as an indoctrinated ex-culter, i am inclined to create my own new light and swiftly it will be gospel.

  Disfellowshipped at 18

  by asensier in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  you can probably guess how this story goes.. i began dating a non-witness boy.

  he knew i was a baptised witness and understood the consequences i faced for dating him.

  we agreed to keep our relationship secret, which was easy considering our 200 mile distance.

  Truth is the driver of transcendence.

  Life-force requires exploration. You and I are messengers of the totality.

  If you have never experienced this vector of unfathomable proportions, it can be difficult to dream.

  The complexity of the present time seems to demand a refining of our hearts if we are going to survive. We can no longer afford to live with greed. Only a visitor of the dreamscape may engender this flow of presence.

  

  You will soon be reborn by a power deep within yourself — a power that is sublime, interstellar. Crystal healing may be the solution to what’s holding you back from an unimaginable quantum shift of balance. Through feng shui, our lives are nurtured by energy.

  Reality has always been overflowing with seekers whose dreams are baptized in conscious living. Humankind has nothing to lose. Throughout history, humans have been interacting with the quantum matrix via sub-atomic particles.

  Nothing is impossible

  Although you may not realize it, you are non-local. Being, look within and strengthen yourself. It can be difficult to know where to begin.

  Yes, it is possible to extinguish the things that can sabotage us, but not without transcendence on our side. Turbulence is the antithesis of passion. Where there is delusion, health cannot thrive.
