  Is asking questions of logic about a Global Flood effective in waking loved ones?

  by BU2B in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was thinking about using a tactic of asking questions revolving around "noahs flood" to try to start my wife doing some serious thinking.

  unlike doctrine that cannot often be proven one way or another, this issue can be proven beyond the slightest doubt that it is impossible.. i was thinking about asking a question something like this "i was reading about coral reefs today, and they sure are amazing!

  what amazed me the most is how long it takes for them to build the reef, and how long they live!

  these guys are real company men when they have mass lay off of older bethelites tossing them to the curb and making the congregation they are assigned to carry some of the load, so that the watchtower corporation can cut costs of providing for these nolonger young people who have devoted theirs lives to the corporation.. they are heartless bastards aren't they?

  i wonder what kind of undercurrent this is causing at headquartes?.

  JW’s So Gullible & Yet Hopeful Wanting To Believe They Are Right

  by baldeagle in

  1959 jehovah's witnesses in the divine purpose pg.

  252. for many years it had been the view of the watchtower that the faithful men of old who served god faithfully before jesus' time would be raised from the dead even before armageddon to join in organizing jehovah's modern-day people and to share in shouldering the remnant'sresponsibility of representing the lord jesus christ in the capacity of overseers of the flock of god on earth.

  these men were variously referred to as "ancient worthies," "faithful men of old," and "the princes" in the light of psalm 45:16. .

  THE QUOTE THE WBATS DENIES MAKING OF 1975!!!

  by ADJUSTMENTS in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the wtbats like to state "we never stated when the end will come" when they blatantly have:.

  1969 "if you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things.

  because all the evidence in fulfillment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years.

  A Challenge for Jehovahs Witness Apologists : Identify What Jesus Christ Has Accomplished In His Nearly Complete 100 Year Reign From 1914

  i for one would be very interested , if you can quantify what his acheivements have been , these past almost 100 years .. incidental acheivements could do for a start ,.

  followed by more meaningfull acheivements ,.

  then to top it off , with his major acheivements that he can be accredited with these past 99 years of his kingdom rule ,.

  Is the WTS backing away from "Bible Tall Tales" ?

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i was a kid, it seemed like not a meeting went by when you didn't hear about jonah or sampson and other tall tales from the bible.. now though, they seem to have been sidelined.

  i guess the rest of the world caught on to the fact that these stories couldn't possibly be true and were so far fetched (yeah, even by bible standards) that they are just treated as 'stories' like aesop's fables.

  saying that you believe in them as genuine accounts just makes you look like a crazy zealot.. but the wts is different.

  How to accept the actions of the Old Testament God

  by confusedandalone in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  how are we able to do this.. this is not an attempt to stir the pot or cause confusion but i was sitting here thinking of all the really horrid things that the old testament god did to people.

  when i was a jw i just purposely put it to the back of my mind always trying to make an excuse.

  when i was in field service and someone would ask me about it i would just change the subject.. however i have been reading alot of info lately here about how wonderful jesus is and how he is a direct representation of what god the father would be.

  Have you grown detached from caring about JW family and old friends?

  by tootired2care in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after being out of the borg for a year and a half, weve dealt with a lot of nonsense from local elders stopping by unannounced, well-meaning do-gooders trying to encourage us.

  somehow weve managed to get through this without getting dfd/dad.

  for me the worst part of it all has been that much of my family has shunned me, and stopped talking to me, as soon as they heard through the grapevine that i wasnt going to meetings.
