"We're in the last days!"

by BoogerMan in

not just jw's, but countless others (evangelicals etc.

) are claiming that we're in the "last days.".

but........bible students/jw's have been spouting this fake message since the 19th century!!!!!!.

I didn't leave instantaneously,, but at that moment I allowed myself to start researching. Joined this site, started visiting "apostate" sites, bought about 10 books on cults, of course Raymond Franz's books. Faded over 4 years

Proud to say our last meeting was the memorial 2000.

Advice for any fence sitters out there,

When you buy a car do you only research the car with the manufacturers information or do you seak out independent non bias sources?

You can't make a rational choice of religion only using the information they provide.

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

by jwundubbed in

i found out recently that michelangelo's painting of adam on the sistine chapel depicts him without a belly button.

i had never noticed this before and it makes sense that neither adam nor eve would have belly buttons, not having been born in the usual way.

then i realized all the first animals were created rather than born, according to the religious views of the origin of life.

The generation that will never die always kept me hanging on.

When that got blown up, my mind got opened up.

I will never forget the Sunday Watchtower study on this .When we got to the paragraph about the subject, I looked around at all the people in the audience and there was nothing.

Zoned out drones half asleep people waiting to go home.

And then it was bye bye for me!

Where Adam and Eve Vegan/Vegetarian?

by KerryKing in

jws seem to firmly believe that before the flood mankind eas vegan or at least vegetarian.. however, in gen 1:24,25 it says that god created livestock (domestic animals) and beasts of the eart (wild beasts).. why would adam and eve need livestock if they were vegan and naked?

wouldn't need wool or hide for clothing, nor meat for food.

possibly for dairy products only?

Animals also could be companions as comfort and support., apparently not enough so Eve was created.

Everything else you mentioned happened after the sin.

The male dominated birth rate could be a result of sin.

Learning to kill animals - God showed the way because of clothes.

No longer Vegan probably did happen after being thrown out of the garden,

no longer having access to easy food production.

Holding a grudge

by LongHairGal in

i read something recently on reddit (not sure what thread) where a person related how some jw told them that ‘they hold a grudge’.. this reminded me of something an old jw acquaintance said to me some years back when i related my bad experience in the religion.. so, apparently, jehovah’s witnesses feel they should be forgiven for anything.

people should forget all about it and act like nothing happened and be charitable towards them, etc… when i read in james and ephesians i got the sense ‘holding a grudge’ was referring to the things average people do to offend each other.. i don’t see it applying to a religion that claimed to speak for god and who engendered hateful and unchristian attitudes towards people.. i know because i experienced this.. in addition, some people’s lives were damaged by listening to faulty teachings and interference in things that were clearly none of anybody’s business.. one case in point: them knocking worldly careers and now there are thousands of destitute jws in senior years with nothing.. then in 2023 the religion does away with a century old teaching about counting hours in the ministry.

meanwhile, i got judged over this.
