I feel like I'm losing my religion/faith

by christina1111 in

i'm a baptized jw...been baptized for 8 years...and throughout the years i've been baptized i see "hypocrisy" so to speak in the religion...when you're new and not baptized that's when the jws want to invite you to every gathering they have, they want to appear like they're your best friend...they want to help you out when needed and so forth...however, once you're baptized you go to the elders for help they don't help you....all they do is gather you around the office...have bibles in hand and so forth...they give you articles as well, instead of physically helping you out....but yet when you weren't baptized they would physically help you out and not throw scriptures and articles in your face.

also when you ask for help and so forth with the bros/sisters they want to throw the "each one must carry his/her own load" scripture at you.....but yet what happened to the scripture of taking care of widows and people who are orphans?.

it's not just one congregation...throughout the 8 years i've been baptized i've been through many kingdom halls...many towns...many states...when i was inactive for awhile i even pretended to not be baptized and just play dumb when the witnesses came to my door...they're much nicer to you when you're not baptized then when you are baptized...why is that?.

What you have just said is only one aspect of many issues that this religion contains. As JWs we are trained to not dwell on these issues, these issues are negative thinking, negative thinking leads to the possibility of waking up. And we all know how we will be treated, when we wake up....

The well off witnesses (financially ) in this area regularly travel overseas, but call it a family holiday. Usually we don't know they are traveling again, until their continuous absence from meetings is asked, then we find out they are on a family holiday. That travel is acceptable in the minds of other jws. Its only a Family holiday.

The feeling that i got after this wt study was concluded at the meeting today is that when talking to other witnesses, our main subject we are to talk about has to be spiritual. If we talk to much about non WT subjects, then we are not a spiritual person.

Well that leaves me out, the only WT related talk i say is on this web site. And i don't think that counts, if today's WT is to be believed.

Thanks for the review.will wait to hear what nonsense answers will be made during this study.

What are they trying to tell us in para 11? That list of normal every day activities is wrong, so don't do it?

Finished Mystery (1917)... The book that Jesus approved...

by Alfred in

so a few months ago, a friend sent me an actual copy of finished mystery which was published in 1917 (not a pdf download... the actual book).

i must say, this was the most disturbing book i have ever had the displeasure of reading.

but i only read it because this was the main publication that was being distributed worldwide when jesus supposedly chose the watchtower in 1918 and i basically wanted to see for myself what jesus saw in the wt that would compel him to choose this religious corporation over all other religious denominations.. anyway, if anyone is interested in knowing the actual contents of this book, here are some bullet points i put together from some of the notes i took as i read the book:.

Currently both at the book study, and a number of recent Watchtowers are now teaching JWs the modern day rewritten version of their history. Can't have these older books getting in the way of facts.

1914 to be abandoned around 2016

by Alfred in

the other day i was doing some research about "1914" for a friend on my wt cd library (spanish) and i found it quite interesting that the number of times "1914" is mentioned in the watchtower magazine during the previous 3 decades has been dropping exponentially as follows.... 1980-1989: mentioned 854 times.

1990-1999: mentioned 492 times.

2000-2009: mentioned 222 times.

skin

At some stage in the future they will drop 1914, they can't keep it alive forever. And when this happens, it will simply be new light and mean nothing to the average JW, except that its a sign that we are even closer to the end.

What finally helped you to peek behind the curtain

by UnshackleTheChains in

i'm interested in finding out what it was that finally enabled you to open your eyes to the real truth of watchtower.

what started me thinking, was the societys very own book...' 'revelation..it's grand climax at hand'.

i found that book farcicle.

skin

For me it was reading the 1927 edition of the "Creation" book by the IBSA, where it tells us that clearly the Bible shows that the last days started in 1799, the Kingdom was est in 1874 and Christ was given rulership of that Kingdom in 1878. Also the "Study of the Scriptures" 1910 edition contained these same dates. How could that be since today we are told by WT that all these events took place in 1914 and that WT had been saying 1914 for almost 40 years before 1914. This was back in 2002 where I raised this issue with another JW who basically accused me of reading apostate books, that floored me and left me speechless on the spot. How could WT lie so brazenly about their past? That starting the cracking of the WT protective shell for me, made me wonder, what if these wicked apostates were also saying this very thing. Finally, with my heart almost pounding out of my chest, looking all around making sure no body was watching, I went to the (what was then) wicked internet for an answer. Sure enough, apostates were telling the truth on this subject, how could that be since according to WT, apostates are the ones that make up lies? Then the flood gates opened on WT.
