  How does Jehovah's direction differ from pulling it out of your *ss

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the doctor examines the patient and prescribes a powerfully effective medicine.. the pharmacist dispenses the medication according to the prescription.. the patient takes the medicine according to the label directions.. the above is a three step process.

  easy analogy to understand.

  we've all had to visit the doctor and get medicine at one time or another.. now i want to examine this process and use the analogy as a model for understanding how the governing body dispenses "truth" from jehovah to the congregations of jehovah's witnesses as his mouthpiece and "prophetic" voice.. in the 1950's doctors began prescribing a medicine called thalidomide.

  Do you struggle to find truth in anything religious these days?

  by Samdownunder in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was just interested to see how you feel out there.

  ive been thinking a lot about all the lies and wasted time and frustration ive went through for so long now, and i cant help but wonder if anything i ever believed in is real.

  obviously the watchtower has lied and conned us all for years now, but who else along the way has changed the bible and who were the men who compiled it, and their motives?

  I need HELP!!!!!!!!!

  by Samdownunder in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  can anyone relate and help with the nagging doubts that it really was the"truth" and we are all doing the wrong thing and being misled.

  i have read a lot of information to sway me from the witnesses and to think it is only a man made religion, but still i fear i could be wrong and going against god.

  how do you all deal with this feeling that surely most have experienced.

  My first time here

  2. friends

  hi i was just wondering, is it really different being in the witness religion as a full- fledged member than when you are studying with them.

  are you treated differently or is all this "control" people talk about over exaggerated?
