  Bible History

  by bitsnbobs in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  hi all,i left the org in the late 90s.

  not because of beliefs or the 1914/generation fiasco.

  just thoughtlessness, hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance.

  How do you deal with Anxiety!

  by little_Socrates in

  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.
