Studied with JW grandma for 3 years and went to meetings, I have now seen the light!

by yogosans14 in

im new here and im 17, going to turn 18 in 1 week.

i studied with my gradma the bible teach book and went to meeting with her and other relatives (considering most my relatives are jw except my parents) and i believe in all of it because i never read the bible for myself.

after reading the gospels i started noticing contradictions in the jw doctrine like when jesus said many would dine with the patriachs in the kingdom of heaven (yet only 144,000 jws can) which would seem odd considering the fact he adressed this to more then the apostles.

Hello Yogo and welcome to the board.

I was trapped in the cult for a long, long time until I started reading the bible (a real one, not that apostate JW 'bible') without the Watchtower beside it.

I am also became a believer when I read Romans chapter 8 one night and realised that without Jesus I am nothing. I started praying to Him ( a big NO NO in JW land) and experienced His love as He enetered my heart.

Keep looking at Jesus and no one else.

I am a member of a Baptist church but denomination does not matter as long as they teach that Jesus is who Thomas said He is... My Lord and My God!

I also came to believe that the trinity is true when I compared the Bible with the trinity teachings of Christendom.

Thank God you found out the Jehovah's Witnesses are wrong while you are young.

There are many JW's who have wasted their lives for 60-80 years becauuse they didn't read the bible alone and without a Watchtower to guide them through it.

Involved with a JW woman

by jonza in

okay so i'm dating a born-in jw woman, she's younger than me and has no kids.

i'm a christian man whos divorced with 2 kids.

we're in love and seriously want to be together.

Honesty

You are messing with a stick of dynamite that has just had its short fuse lit.

Run away while you still can.

You can take the girl out of the Watchtower but you can't take the watchtower out of the girl.

Get hooked up with that woman and you will always be second fiddle in her life.

The Watchtower comes first.

A preist , Pastor , or minister of religion that uses the Bible or an i-pad , who in your eyes would command your respect .

by smiddy in

i ask this because of an experience over the weekend when two witnesses came to my door , and he tried to use his i-pad to witness to me, which i wasnt intersted in.. my theory is this is going to backfire on them .

the majority of people in christendom , whether they practice it or not have a reverence , if not a deep respect for the written word , the bible , as a holy book.

a sacred book.. i dont beleive a householder who is a christian is going to be impressed by someone who quotes scriptures from an i-pad.. religous books have been considered sacred for centuries , their is an awe about them .

Honesty

I don't care if they have an i-Pad, that piece of shit New World Silver Sword or a room full of main frames.

The Jehovah's Witnesses can keep shuffling down the street with their crazy doctrines, pedophile elders, sacrificial blood altar and 'death to all but JW' attitudes.

What Watchtower Belief/View Never Sat Right With You?

by minimus in

but their views on blood are just plain weird!

meat has blood in it even if it's bled.

still eating meat means consuming blood.

Honesty

Blood.

the circuit assembly

by thedog1 in

i am off to the circuit assembly tomorrow.

not really looking forward to it as it is the first one i will go to after finding out many things on this forum.

since the last assembly i have read coc, in search of christian freedom, and some of the gentile times reconsidered.

Honesty

We would like a brief summary if possible.

It is always good to know how to counteract the BS our JW family members are exposed to at the boasting sessions.

Let's make Jehovah happy.

by Honesty in

jw
friends

jehovah looked down in 1919 and saw the jehovah's witnesses celebrating christmas and worshiping jesus so he sent jesus down to inspect them.. .

jesus liked what he saw and appointed them to be jehovah's channel.. .

let's all become jehovah's witnesses so jehovah will be happy with us too.

Honesty

Jehovah looked down in 1919 and saw the Jehovah's Witnesses celebrating Christmas and worshiping Jesus so He sent Jesus down to inspect them.

Jesus liked what He saw and appointed them to be Jehovah's channel.

Then, a few years later they stopped celebrating Christmas.

Then, a few years later, only a small percentage of them ate the crackers and sipped the wine.

Then, a few years later they stopped worshiping Jesus.

Jesus said that was Ok because despite that He selected them because of the things they stopped after they were selected He likes false prophets who get stuff wrong all the time.

As long as they keep changing their doctrines when time runs out on them Jesus is happy and will let them be Jehovah's channel because God likes confusion.

As long as 99% of the Jehovah's Witnesses refuse to eat the crackers and sip the wine Jesus is happy because He likes being rejected.

The Jehovah's Witnesses are making Jehovah and Jesus very happy.

Let's all become Jehovah's Witnesses so Jehovah will be happy with us too

Maybe moving! Need some advice

by Jon Preston in

ok so we might be moving to fl.

wife wants to get away to start over.

i also want to move but at the right time and to the right place.

I lived in Florida for 17 years and loved it. Although I lived close to the east coast (about 25 minutes from New Smyrna Beach) I liked the gulf coast better. My work kept me tied to the east coast but if I had a choice it would be the gulf coast south near Sarasota or somewhere around Pensacola.
