  My JW mom is now willing to "listen" to our side...Need advice pls

  my husband and i (both born in jws with extended family all "in" except for one of my sisters who left when we did) left the church 5 years ago.

  we did not fade, we just didn't believe it anymore, told our families so and left.

  obviously, big drama in our family after this, messy feelings, etc.

  Simple and quick.

  Romans 6:7

  The Watchtower uses it to claim a person who dies has paid for his sins.

  Where does that leave the new covenant and Jesus' sacrifice which Matthew 26:28 says paid for our sins?

  Acts 5:31 says that God exalted Jesus to His right hand for the forgiveness of sins.

  If our death pays for our sins then there was no need for Jesus to die for us.

  Also Romans 6:1-14 has nothing to do with our death paying for our sins.

  Romans 6:1-14 describes the new life a believer experinces in Christ.

  Welcome powermetal4ever!

  Although I like it too, I'm sure the JW's would consider your choice in music not only worldly but much worse :)

  It's good that you are out on your own because it makes fading much easier without the added problems of the JW's so called encouragement to go back to meetings.

  I look forward to reading more of your posts.

  "Who are we to question /god/?"

  by LovelyEunie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  has anyone had this line said to them when there was questioning involved?

  did it irritate you because when questioning did happen that line was almost always used as a shut down to keep you from going any further and to make you feel guilty in the process?

  because we're just idiotic and feeble minded human beings, so surely we can't possibly begin to question the likes of god.

  The next time someone throws that crap at you, counter their ignorance with Numbers 11:11 and Numbers 16:22.

  Two Witness principle

  by Rattigan350 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  one thing that i agree with is the two or more witness principle.. i have an experience to tell why.. at work for lunch i go to my car and eat and read emails on my laptop (since i can't bring my laptop in).

  one day a hr director and my director told me about an occasion where i was in my car and a woman went out to her car that was next to me and left for lunch.

  she came back and pulled in a spot and saw that i was in my car to the left of her and what came to her mind was that i must have just pulled in after her and she felt uncomfortable with that and thinking that i was following her and she went to security.

  Blondie's Watchtower quote said, "Since she is part of the clean Christian congregation" but how can the congregation be clean when it allows accused and convicted pedophiles to sit in its midst?

  How about people who have been publicly and privately reproved for committing acts the Watchtower Society say are gross sins?

  How can Jehovah's Witnesses claim to be in a "clean congregation" when they totally ignore 1 Corinthians 5:13 which commands them to Put away the evil person from among yourselves?

  Hi SpeedRacer!

  Don't worry too much about your conditional JW family because some of the younger ones may wake up and realize what they are involved.

  You'll find plenty of friends on this apostate board who will accept you as you are.

  i'm not fond of any religious fanatic.

  islamic fundies can be downright crazy.

  mormonism seems silly to me.

  They have the truth and belong to Jerhover's only approved religious organization.

  They are being led to waters of righteousness by the 7 member faithful and discreet slave whom Jesus appointed in uh, uh, 1919.

  They obey God's commandments given to Moses and follow the Governing Body's interpretation of it faithfully.

  How can any of them be bad?

  Copy of my DA Letter

  this is my first time posting here, although i have been a visitor to it for around a year.

  after doing a simple google search under "jehovah'switnesses" over a year ago, i found ttat.

  i was deeply unhappy with the congregation and decided to educate myself, and boy what an education i have gotten so far.

  And that's just the way it is.

  The organisation has kicked Jesus in the head and replaced Him with the 'faithful and discreet slave' AKA the 7 popes on the Governing Body.

  Those false prophets are deceiving 7 million people and will surely burn in hell forever for their blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.

  I say good riddance to them and all they represent.

  Why was such a GREAT, GREAT, GREAT thing as Internet not foretold in the Bible?

  by Pinku in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jws claim that even such a small thing as proclaiming 1986 as the international year for peace was foretold in the bible.

  this raises the question: why was such a great thing as internet (the influence of which could not even be compared with anything in the history at all) not foretold in the bible?

  with internet and tv the world has become literally a global village!.

  I believe you nailed it, James Brown.

  More people than ever before are finding out the truth about an evil cult from the comfort of their homes within minutes of being contacted by Jehovah's Witnesses.

  Compare your childrens' lives to what you had.

  It will give a preview of what you can have too because it is not too late for you and your husband to explore new things.
