Hello, Seeker4
I guess I shouldn't be here because the things I am reading really disgust me seeing how you guys are such haters of Jehovah witness. I really have to comment on your two post and please don't get affended I know at times I can be very blunt about the things I say. Now listen, in your first post you sounded so sure about how from this one elder that all JW is wrong, demanding of rules and so on but if you have been in the congregation as long as you say you have then you would know that not all are like that. I'm not a JW yet but would like to be one just from being in the religion as a younger girl and the people that I have met who are beautiful inside and out, knowing that putting your faith in Jehovah your whole life changes. In my short time I have seen plenty of people in the faith that be on some other stuff but what you have to understand is that every person is imperfect I don't know if you have accepted that you are imperfect also but you are and I can say that with out ever seeing you but by what you are saying and exactly how you think you know it all about something you obvisouly don't. One thing that I would like to know from reading your post is you say you had been a JW for 35 years, but if JW's are so bad and the regilion is so demanding and unwrothy why where you in it for so long? I mean I'm sure with in the first 2 to 5 years you would see the so called down falls and flaws about JW's and not to mention you were one of these terrible people for 35 years so exactly what do you think of yourself? I mean thats a large part life to have wasted as your saying so why? also what about your wife?
Second you cannot judge a whole area of people by a small limit of people who may be to deep into the religion. Another thing for you to question the bible is crazy thats a definate no no and I know that all regilions refer to the bible about a lot of things and its not to question and try to make science and reality have more truth to it, cuz it doesn't. If you read it you would know that everything that is going on today is exactly what God said would happen so how smart do you or anyother loser on this page that agrees with you sound? Did you think about that?
Third, your second post talks about a girl that has been raped by her father at a young age who where both JW's. Yes the man was very wrong for what he did, but he is a big sinner and like I said we are all liveing in a devils world so the terriable is bound to happen but do you think that the father hasn't or isn't paying for this, what he did to this girl who was and according to you is still faithful to God? Think about this, JOB went through a whole lot wrost then this girl that you speak of, all to show his faithfulness to God. Through the terror this man has faced he still kept faith in God and because of this he got better and was presented with more then he had before. Or what about Abraham who god tested his faith by ordering him to murder his son for him, God didn't let him kill his son because he just wanted to see how faithful he was. Thats exactly what has happen to the girl, when her father raped her she was suppose to turn away from god because she would think "why would god let this happen to me?" but she didn't. Gettin disfellowship was also suppose to turn her away which didn't she stayed faithful and went back to the faith. Another thing to look at alot of people that are raped don' t even make it to live another day but she has been able to live many so in so many ways she has been blessed.
Fourth, The girl is wrong for telling your child that she will not be blessed if she doesn't become a JW but that is what she believes and don' t act like JW's are the only ones that say that because they are not, people that go to chruch are just as bad, I had a friend who I am not friends with now, but she use to tell me that I was going to hell because I didn't go to chruch and am not baptized which is a whole lot of mess because while telling me this she isnt showing me whats so great about the chruch folk because looking at her she gives oral sex, involves herself in forniacation and other things not to mention living in a house hold that is not all that great pretty much no where near it and gets bad grades verses me who has a good family, good grades and am still pure to god and am under the practices of the JW faith.
So before you sit there and put down JWs think about it. Also please reply to this you and others who have to say something your comments are welcomed.
