  Un-scriptural & Non-biblical JW terms

  by ljwtiamb in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  after a recent 'spiritual' discussion with a relative, it hit me that so much of the jw terminology is not to be found anywhere in the bible or, at best is taken totally out of context.

  yet, it's by these terms & titles that jws approve and condemn each other, the entire world, and worse believe that god even cares!.

  i can just imagine someone at the pearly gates, explaining to peter: 'yeah, but i was a "pioneer!".

  Counsel by school overseer...

  what was your worst point of counsel?

  i think for most men, it was gesturing to an audience while trying to make it look natural.

  i remember writing on my notes to gesture and to speak slowly... what was your hardest point of counsel to work on?.

  A feeling of community

  by logansrun in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for bettor or worse -- and it definitely seems it was worse for some here -- the witness religion provides a sense of community for it's members.

  humans are social creatures; we evolved to be part of a community.

  there are practical, emotional, intellectual and, if you want to use the word, spiritual, benefits to having some sense of group belonging.

  Meek Shall Inherit the earth

  by golden age in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  .

  i was talking to a witness the other day and i was explaining from revelation how there is only one calling to heaven and there is not an earthly calling.

  and the jw asked me to explain the verse from pslam which states teh meek shall inherit the earth and reside in it forever, any one have any scripture to refute his argument.

  What does it MEAN, to be Baptised....

  by LittleToe in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a few years ago, while i was still a jw, i started a topic on baptism:.

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/14060/1.ashx.

  i wasn't aware of the in's-and-out's of the subject, just that i felt that my own baptism as a jw was somehow invalid, and wanted to do it properly.

  The Organization Trains Witnesses To Feel Guilty

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  very seldom do you hear of a witness feeling like they are satisfied with what they have done in the "truth".

  most feel like they "need to do more".

  there's all this "urgency" to reach "honest hearted ones" before it is too late.
