  Are you running ahead of Jehovah? And liberal use of words like "evidently", "probably", "logically".

  2. beliefs

  it has taken me almost 2 years to get to the bottom of the watchtower society rabbit hole.

  being fully convinced that i was duped....i am still a little ashamed of myself for being so narrow minded.

  i have vowed never to close off my mind like that again.

  To garyneal and Others, Evidence that the anointed remnants represented by the GB were selected in 1919.

  by mankkeli in

  2. experiences

  1st evidence: the release of loyal jews from exile, made possible by the fall of babylon, foreshadowed the release in 1919 of anointed christians from spiritual exile.

  2nd evidence: that year marked the beginning of the period when the anointed remnants were released from a form of spiritual captivity to the ideas and practices of false religion.

  although having rejected such false teachings as the trinity and the immortal soul, they were still tainted by babylonish practices.

  He's either an Ex-JW or never was one. Obviously a troll who has come here for his meat in due season.

  Religious People Live Longer

  by mankkeli in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  regular involvement in religious activities goes hand in hand with better physical health and a longer life, according to a statistical analysis of 42 independent studies published since 1977 that have addressed this issue, states science news.

  religious involvement, especially the public type, showed a statistically significant relationship to higher survival rates, the scientists say.

  several reasons have been proposed for the findingsthe shunning of risky behaviors, marital stability, less depression associated with matters beyond direct control, greater social contacts, and positive emotions and attitudes.

  Well notice it did not state that any particlar religion made one live longer so the "truthfulness" of the belief has no bearing.

  What's The Biggest Difference In Today's JWs And The Witnesses From Decades Ago?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i believe today's witnesses lack zeal, resolve, "love" of the "truth"......just to name a few things.. years ago, witnesses were excited to knock on doors and tell people they were gonna die if they didn't accept paradise.. now, when you see jws in service, they all look zombied out.. it's a slowly dying religion that will last probably forever like an ancient rotted out tree..

  Defnitely the zeal. Not long after I left the fold in 1992, Witnesses that I encounted would at least try to "reason" with whatever objections I throw out. Now when I say something to get them to think, they either jump to another topic, deny anything I say has any merit, or they just say "good-bye" and go on to the next potential victim.

  the last few years "warren buffet.

  " has donated his time to the highest bidder for charity.

  the ebay auction usually goes for $100,000 to spend lunch-time and pick his brain on his view.

  Pretty much anyone. So far I have only met Terry (twice) and both times were very enjoyable and enlightening.
