  When you were Hard-Core JW, did Opponents Screaming or Filming you help your Exit?

  by PokerPlayerPhil in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  all of us are upset in different ways, some of us are ferociously angry because, let's face it, it's our fault!

  i had many clues they were lying about our religion but i failed to see through them because of the pain of admitting we got conned and family pressure from peers stopped me from making a courageous choice.

  when i read about people who confronted the elders and won their judicial committees (even though the jw elders df'ed them) my heart goes out to their courage, their amazingly stronger than i will ever be.

  Old Friends of Ocala and Gainesville

  by william draper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just wondering from amongst my old friends , who has managed to realize that the jehovah witnesses do not have attachedthat so called truth , while one of my books supports one of their primary doctrines i have written another book from my handwritten notations of more than 500 scriptures , which really opened my eyes to how they are able to bend around certain scriptures , without fully considering , such along with others , using a certain type of formatted reasoning to support some doctrinal issues which have merit , yet refusing to use the same kind of reasoning when you have scriptural content which demands such , but it goes against the tradition of the org , so they use some of the most bizzare reasoning to jus support the status quo .. my first book is called 500 scriptures against the trinity doctrine , based upon handwritten notations of more than 500 scriptures .

  think about this , this should have been a book written long ago , there being so many at bethel with supposedly much more of gods spirit than myself .

  this should be like their book we , but it is surely hidden amongst those that have it .

  Memorial talk wt escape clause

  by prologos in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  " --only those in the kingdom covenant were served the bread & wine by jesus--" ---false!

  this phrase switches from the forgiveness of sin part to the exclusive anointed club section of the memorial talk, and it is false because: the kingdom covenant was done after the passover was done.

  and the promise of thrones and judging israel in math 19:28 was not a covenant but an assurance.

  The Watchtower are Right About Blood...

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ... but, they fail to take note of one important detail.. i believe that if we are going to have any chance of reasoning with a jw about blood, this is the place we need to begin.. don't try to convince them that it was only a dietary law.

  it wasn't, and they will never go along with it.. don't tell them that saving a life is more important than obeying a law, even a seemingly trivial one.

  they take pride in obedience.

  Changing images

  by maisha in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  awhile ago i was mentioning how many of the images in watchtowers last year were containing addins with skulls, demon like faces and blatant illuminiti imagery.

  i recently went into the download sites again to grab some of those images and blow me away they have all been changed, cropped, edited, i can say that because i have some those original digital images from the magazines of last year, however the images currently on download sites are not the same some completely removed.

  one such image of jesus coming on an ass has been cropped, removing the name of the hidden name of the artist,,,, and altering a huge demon like face on the window.... has anyone else noticed this?..

  Suicide - How many do you know within the JWs

  by Lady Lee in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  thw wts likes to play games with their statistics.

  one interesting but truly tragic is the number of jwhovah's witnesses who commit suicie.. now i suspect that if a person commits suicide shortly before or after they are disfellowshipped then the elders would say that person wasn't a witness or that they had done something so terrible that they were too guilty to admit it and by their action of committing suicide they pretty much declared they were no longer a jw.. yup fancy talk to make sure any crap didn't fall on them.. so my question.. do you know of cases like this?

  if so then can you answer a few more questions.. had this person been dfed or in real danger of being dfed or whatever the equivalent is if they were never baptized?.
