I was annoyed by this one..... "a child cant play in the road, the child doesnt know why it cant play in the road, but we know. There are many things we cannot do, maybe we dont know why, but we are like children to jehobee".

most hated analogies
by googlemagoogle inwe've already got some "most hated" threads on here, like "most hated bible verse" or "most hated meeting", don't know if there's another thread on metaphors/analogies.
one of the most used analogies used is the "jehovah's like a loving father holding your hand and leading you, you can trust him like a little child trusts his father".
i don't know how often i heard that one.

It cannot be denied
by logansrun inimagine in your mind any "evil" person: rapist, murderer, theif, addict, terrorist...etc.
now, if you were born with that exact dna, had that same brain chemistry and went through the same enviornmental stimuli and life experiences as they did, you would do the exact same "evil" things.
we only think we are "free.

Anyone from Mass know my wifes family?
by gringojj inmy wifes family has been active with the dubs for a long time.
i am just wondering if anyone on here might know her or her family.
i think it would benefit her to talk to someone she knows to ease her mind about the wts.

My wifes family has been active with the dubs for a long time. I am just wondering if anyone on here might know her or her family. I think it would benefit her to talk to someone she knows to ease her mind about the WTS. Her last name is Jackson, her father is Jesse, he is black, and her mom is Vicky, she is white. She has 3 other sisters that would have been at meetings with her. She would have been in halls in Worcester, Southbridge, and Palmer throughout the years. Any help would be appreciated.

A continuation of defd's discussion
by cruzanheart inokay, defd, i started a new topic so we won't continue to hijack panic attack's thread.
the reason why i didn't answer you back is twofold: (1) i'm at work and they kind of expect me to do other things besides post on jwd; (2) my husband chris (big tex) answered your question sufficiently for me so i didn't see a need to respond.. nina i am curious as to why you didnt finish our discussion and respond to my answer?
was raised as one of jehovah's witnesses, and i am very pleased to be able to offer my children the respect to make their own decisions about what to believe .

Defd you say that we have to raise our children to the know "the truth", which you say you do. So does that mean you do or would raise your children to think its okay to hang around with a bunch of apostates? The wts teaches that you are not supposed to do that, you do, so would you teahc your children too?

New light, circular reasoning, and doctrine double standards.
by gringojj inthe wts claims they can make mistakes, fix them, and its all good because the bible says the light gets brighter.
thats all fine and good but if thats true then why wouldnt new light appy to all other religions?
how can the say that other religions are false because of what they teach?

Schizm the problem is that when Russell started the org. the jws didnt believe any of those things. So they have recieved new light on these subjects and so could other religions. Also I would like to add that new light allows for old new light to be reversed as new new light so how do we know that what the society is teaching as truth now wont be changed into new light at a later time? Maybe they will get new light that says everyone will be in heaven, or that the trinity is right, or something totally different. So schizm how do we know that the wts new light is the right new light?

Is Satan running the WTS. What say you?
by Lady Lee in.
so what evidence is there that satan is running the wtb&ts instead of god?.
what are their proofs that god is running the show and what evidence is there that god is not running the show.. could be interesting to see what we can all come up with.

I dont believe in god or satan, but this question is for someone like defd. If I was trying to figure out if satan was leading the wts, whitch I should definetly have to consider since the wts claims he is running every other religion, how would I know he wasnt using the wts? Dont tell me because of the love they had amongst themselves, because there are other religions who show just as much love as jws. And even so, couldnt he lead people to have love amongst themsleves, just to make it appear they were the true religion? After all he is so powerful hes leading millions of jews, catholics, and muslims. I wouldnt think that leading 6 million dubs is hard for him. So defd, how do YOU know?

Maybe the other religions just havent gotten thier new light yet. New light only applies to us, because we are the true religion; we are the true religion, because we get new light that says we are.
