PROVE ME WRONG! JW's were the only religion to oppose Hitler

by truthsearcher in

this statement was made to me and i want to refute it with verifiable information on other denominations.

anyone with ideas?.

I was back home visiting family I found in an old book an article from 1937 newspaper that had been ripped out about something unrelated to your post, but what was interesting is that on the same page was article about a bishop in the catholic church that was writing about the wrong of the Nazi regime and Hitler did not like this. I remember thinking here is real proof that not just JWs were speaking out and not all catholic bishops remained quiet. Next time I am back home I will make a copy of it if I can remember which book it was in.

Love & Peace,

Told my JW mom

by Mrs Smith in

just wanted to let you all know about my phone call to my mom.

she was telling me how upset she is that all three of her kids no longer are active jw's.

i could no longer keep quite and i told her how upset am that she still is an active jw.

Sheri

When I told my mother in law my doubts she also admitted doubts and then got to feeling guilty and almost retracted everything but over the past year or more we have had so good conversations and when I visit I make a point when the subject comes up to show her something from the publications that is manipulation of the truth.

Such as the back page of the Jan 2006 WT (Angeles on the cover) the back page is about discovery of artifacts with Gods name on them, but it states fall of Jerusalem in 607BCE, as if the article being discussed stated this. I went on line did search on the artifacts name, found article and NY Times article and clearly stated 586 BCE was dated quoted. I just said what would have been wrong with leaving the date out if they did not agree but to input a date that is clearly not in the articles amounts to lying to me and God does not lie.

Same with an article in first part of a WT last year all about Russell being so intent of examining the scriptures and mentioned Henry Grews Six Sermons and the article made it sound as if he did not support immortality of the soul in agreement with Russell but when you look up the Six Sermons he was stating when one dies he does not go to hell and be tormented but since the sinner does not confess Christ he is just dead and nothing more, all other believers go to heaven. I printed out the portion of the Six Sermons and showed her along with the WT, (which I wish I would have kept as I cant remember which one it was), again it showed her the twisting of truth.

She has gone from remaining quite and using age and health reason for not attending meetings anymore, to now wanting to DA herself as she feels like a hypocrite, which really surprised me. She also has had issues with the sexual preditors and blood issue always changing.

I asked her if any one delivered the Sept KM with the important "save this" Blood insert and she said No and just shook her head as it all seems such a farce. She is in her 80's now and admited this visit she had questions many years ago but felt all in all JWs were still better than most religions, however our discussion on everyone but JW's dying at the big A was just not right and she feels disfellowshipping is wrong and not loving. Now that she has not been at meeting for sometime she can separate God from the WTS and knows she can have a personal relationship with her God outside of the four walls of the Kingdom Hall.

So never give up hope and share the untruths in the publications, (fight fire with fire). I told her once I would go to a meeting if I could pick up a WT and not find a twisting of the truth from sources that they quote. Try it you will be amazed there will always be some article study or misc. article that they will manipulate the real truth.

Love & Peace,

Sheri

UPDATE!: THEY ALL ADMITTED EGGING US -Elders now know, heads are rolling!!

by Lady Liberty in

jw
friends

oh.... how the saga goes on!!

i swear we could write a novel about our life exiting the watchtower!!

ok..many of you read what happened..our house was egged and so was my sisters car that was parked here, and "frosty" was attacked!!

Sheri

I would press charges.

This made me think of who may have egged my car a couple times this last year. Not my husbands or sons trucks but just mine.

Thought it was random the first time and then the second time just seemed strange again. Also, had someone leave Awake and WT on my car windshield! I guess too busy to come to my door.

Peace & Love,

Holiday Pagan Chart of JW's

by Little Bo Peep in

in looking through my files i came across this interesting information.

i may have orginally found this link here, but it was 2 years ago and my mind is a blurr from then.

the chart has a column for pagan custom, wt reason, reality check.

Sheri

I thought the scene from Over the Hedge was so funny when the annimals thought they had to start worshipping the hedge.

Just like mankind when there was no God interacting with them they looked to the things that they could see, forces of nature and worshipped them.

Peace & Love,

Saw My Mother!!!

by RichieRich in

jw
friends

i was on my way home today, and i passed my mother on the road.

tears came to my eyes immediately, just at the sight of her face.. i hate this religion.. but i love my mom.. i can't even remember, when the last time we spoke was.. i just want to sit down and talk to her, but i can't- i won't- because its her fault.

i left a religion, she left her son.

Sheri

Richie,

Try to remember that your mother is brain washed and currently can't help herself. I say kill them with Love. Send her flowers for no reason other than to say "I love You Mom". If your Mom has a wedding anniversary send a card and flowers with Note I Love You Both. Don't overdo it but still feel free to express love, regardless of the rejection. You might be surprised it will make you feel good because you are expressing love with out conditions and it just may tug at her heart.

If she contacts you in any manner not to send your Love then just reply with another love note and don't debate with her. I am sorry for your pain but you will be the better person in the long run and have self respect.

Peace & Love,

Sheri

Can you recall when a householder placed a seed of doubt within you ?

by The wanderer in

jw
friends

the seeds of doubt that were placed by householders in field service advertise the king and his kingdom,"advertise", "advertise", "advertise.

" those words still ring out loud.

this incident never left me either and.

Sheri

While in service a couple of times I spoke with a householder that seemed to have so much love for God and Jesus that it made me question why I did not feel the same feelings and it was not all "praise the lord", but earnest heartwarming love and faith in God along with a sense of peace. I even asked one of the pioneer sisters why did these few I came accross seem to have more love and peace than I did. I asked if there was something wrong with my faith in God. She assured me there wasn't and the others were still misguided.

I now have more love and peace within me and a greater understanding and love for Jesus. I do not feel that I will ever belong to an organized religion but periodically do attend various services but most content in my own personal studies and research.

So it was the sincere feelings of love expressed toward God and especially Jesus. Also, since I did not isolate myself from worldly workmates I met and formed friendship with good people, who did good things for other people without conditional love.

Peace & Love,

Sheril
