  Sep 15th WT: At it again: WT says elements in the UN will attack religion

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it seems that the watchtower has not learnt any lessons regarding their involvement in the united nations.

  perhaps they think the outcry that a few witnesses made a couple of years ago has died down.

  they have been silent about the united nations for about 3 years until they published an article in the sep 15th watchtower, "walk by faith, not by sight!

  Witnesses and their "specialized knowledge"

  by seattleniceguy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  witnesses believe they have special knowledge of an entire realm of which most humans are utterly ignorant.

  angelic battles are being waged all around as universal court cases proceed.

  all of this is happening, they believe, totally unnoticed by everyone else, except perhaps apostates and demons, who see it but for some reason remain defiant in the face of their approaching doom.. it can be a giddy feeling to believe you know what no one else knows, especially when they mock your beliefs as nonsense.

  noah's ark

  2. friends

  i watched a tv show last night on tlc.

  it was talking about noah's ark and all that stuff.

  the thing that stuck out in my mind and made me laugh out loud was this....they interviewed many scientist and they all said the same thing, ''there is no natural evidence that a wordly flood ever took place.''.

  What have you gained?

  by bagpuss in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  its two years since i last attended a meeting or thought of myself as a jw.

  despite the prophesys of doom and gloom for those who leave the org i have gained lots and lost nothing.. i have much more time to spend with my husband which has led to our relationship improving fantastically.. i have a better relationship with my children who stopped going to meetings when they were teenagers.. i have become much closer to my family (i've just returned from yorkshire from my great nephews 1st birthday party.

  my confidence has grown dramatically as i no longer view myself as worthless.. the guilt of not doing enough has gone.. i now have real friends.. the list goes on, but i really would like to hear what you've gained or hope to gain by leaving the borg.
