  JW Hatred and Elders Apathetic Manners Drove Me Here! Why are JWs fooled in to thinking the WTS Cares?

  by Judas Maccabee in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for years i've been screwed with by some very bad people, people satan would kick out of his organization because even the devil might let up on evil just to allow someone to catch their breath.

  with the jwism's bad people move up while good people move down or leave the kingdom hall for good.

  i was talking with two elders who said "you know if you return to the kingdom hall, jehovah will bless you and these people will stop screwing with you.

  Welcome Judas Maccabee. Personality clashes are a common reason for people to leave the JWs. Are you out or are you still in the Kingdom Hall?

  my jw boyfriend just ended a year and a half relationship with me.

  it came out the blue and i'm deeply hurt by this because we were so compatible.

  he did it right before the big annual gathering he is presently attending.

  V1922, find the congregation he goes to, attend the meeting he's at and see how much/little he cares about you when you give him the fright of his life.

  JW's are semi-trinitarians and do not understand the Sacret Secret

  by paradisebeauty in

  i have been searching pro and anti arguments for trinity, and found out there are anti-trinitarians who believe jesus did not preexist before his human life.

  and i am thinking, it kind of makes sense.

  what if yahweh created a second adam.

  Jehovah's Witnesses are Representative Christologists who believe that Jesus, although lesser than The Father, was granted full authority to act in his place (not that they follow the full implications of their doctrine).
  

  paradisebeauty: My personal opinion is that God created a new type of being that somehow can travel between earth ad heaven, Jesus was the first one and the other christians will be transformed in the same type of being at the rapture.

  What about the angels in Noah's time?

  Just prior to my disfellowshipping years ago I explained to an elder what my thoughts were. He compared the Witnesses to a barbeque grill full of coals where you have to be part of the fiery pile to continue shining (otherwise if you're separated you cool off). He was obviously giving me the "stay close to the organization" routine.

  I gave him my own explanation of how I saw God and his plan. I compared God to a light source, the Holy Spirit to the light itself and Jesus to a large diamond acting as a prism in breaking down the light into its colors.

  We humble humans were supposed to be pieces of dusty dirty coal that was to be compressed and transformed into diamonds through salvation. Thus a million and one diamonds were to sparkle in the light as opposed to the imperfect burning which represented our physical life.

  according to apocalypse delayed, russell got many of his ideas from a conference called albury park.. .

  here are the sources of his ideas for eschatology:.

  and lastly, here are the sources for the ideas that jw's claim make them "the truth": rejection of the trinity, hell, and the inmortal soul..

  With all due respect, I think the money could have been better spent elsewhere.

  I realize that the title I chose was not the best. It gives people a different impression about my thread. I wanted to edit it but that can't be done with titles.

  I am not a fan of the "perception is reality" view. It might seem real to all of us but there is an entire universe out there that doesn't need our permission to exist. The cult of modern Conservatism is an example.
