  Tremendous changes in a short time.....

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i mean if you think about it - and i might be off on the time a little - in the past 6 months we have heard of the following;elimination of the hard cover biblereducing of awake to monthly additionsdownsizing at bethel worldwideelimination of bethel elders.

  there may be others that i forgot about.

  but these are all very significant, and they are all happening at once, in a relative sense.those of us in the apostate circles may not realize just how the total impact might be on the flock.

  I always feel like a reverse dub with this stuff, always watching for signs of the end, the end of the WBTS that is.

  From what I can see of my family, the changes tend to disturb them, which in turn makes them sort of hunker down and become even more closed off. The disturbing stuff keeps piling up and their response is to just basically force themselves to not think about it at all, just tune it out and I can almost hear them chanting under their breath, "just hold on, just hold on, just a little longer".

  Mankind's sufferings who's to blame?

  by greendawn in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there is and always was a lot of suffering in the world since the beginning of history, so who is to blame?

  is it a god that doesn't care or a mankind that refuses to be reconciled with god and through that find salvation?

  there is no such thing as suffering. there are the neurological reactions of your body and brain to discomfort,

  Tetra, you sound like my freaking dentist, oh, that's not pain, that's just pressure, lol. Yeah, okay, we'll call your drilling into my head pressure if you want but man it still freaking hurts.

  so, i approached him.

  I think I see Mick and Keith singing Hey you, get off of my cloud and being generally rowdy down at the dodgey end.

  Welcome to the Forum, I think you'll be pleasantly (or unpleasantly as it maybe) surprised at how many folks here share your story. For me it was good to realize I wasn't alone in my journy. In any case, welcome.

  Is The watchtower Dishonest When It comes to the Trinity?

  by RevFrank in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in 1989 the watchtower society published a 32-page booklet entitled "should you believe in the trinity?

  " the aim of this publication was to discredit the christian doctrine of the triune nature of god.

  the method that the society used to accomplish this goal was to quote from a plethora of resources, both secular and religious, such as dictionaries, encyclopedias, books and historical literature written by individual authors.

  In response to the question posed in the subject line, I would pose a counter question, When is the Watchtower ever honest? I don't think there is one topic, one subject, one article of faith where their approach to it is honest and forthright, its always twist, misquote, and misrepresent. The trinity, blood, communion, you name it, the Watchtower arrives at their conclusion through dishonesty and contortionist thinking.

  My first year anniversary here.

  by purplesofa in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  no birthday, wedding, first year at a job, first year of a relationship............none seem to bring so much introspective thought as my first year here.. i stumbled on this place looking for more jw's to hang out with online.

  i had no idea what i was in for.

  it did not take long to know that i was among my own kind.. deep thinkers come here to talk, discuss, argue, love, hate, heal, share, but mostly give.
