"This Shows We're Living In The Last Days"......Your response???

by minimus in

jw
friends

atrocities happen all the time.

student mass murders, genocides, the ozone layer, the environment------you name it----it all points to what witnesses assert as proof that this means we're living in the "last days of the last days".

how would you respond to such ones?.

marsh

Some say we are living in the last of the last days?

A Mills, pre mills, pan mills, post mills, mixed up mills.

Well at least we can discuss the last days without Watchtower glasses on.Hey,and you can have an opinion.

Is this normal?

by FourMs in

after i came to terms with my decision to leave the org, i suddenly didnt want to anything to do with god.

its been several months and i still dont want to hear people talk about whether there is a god or not.

or when people say that they thank god for this and that.

Trying to make sense of your life/beliefs after being indoctrinated for so long can be very hard.It is a long journey out of the Watchtower,I have heard many stories as I expect all of you have .What is normal? how to be normal? you go up/down with your emotions.The inability to trust again is huge for some.There are also many who mean well and want to help you.I would say 'baby steps' .I had some very bad experiences ,some my own fault,some not.But the Lord helped me through it all.I would say Trust in the Lord not man, or organisations.

Peace.

Facts about the NT Bible

by Amazing in

jw
friends

historically, the bible is a secondary support for christians and jews.

i was raised roman catholic, and our tradition and practices included the bible, but it was not a key centerpiece of our faith.

the jewish side of my family likewise have a rich history of tradition and faith that is lived, and not pinned down to every word in the bible.

Hi,

I was given this info,and have been asking lots of questions since,I have enjoyed reading your comments. Thanks.

LT I was in a reformed church until recently,Have also tried out ,or rather been led to others churches.I was raised very strict RC,then converted to JWS at a time when I was very vulnerable,Though I did believe the JWS and lived the life.

does the society monitor this site in hopes of finding witnesses crossing the line?

marsh

Hi all,

Yes they do montitor a lot of sites,but what have you got to fear from a false prophet?Deut 18.

The internet is bringing a lot of Jws out.

Dansk Hope you are feeling okay? and your family.love to all.It was great meeting up with so many lovely JWs.I have always said when we leave JWs it's like coming out of confusion and finding more,but this doesn't last .you get through that eventually.

Have a lovely and blessed Christmas xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The first time I went into a charasmaniac type church to take alook,I thought I was at a Paul Mckenna hypnotist show.The Chakras ,zapping,well I had this done to me many years ago before I became a JW so have 'been there'.

More recently I visited a Pentecostal church,where none of this was going on,where there was sound Bible teaching,

I am not a Pentecostal,neither do I speak in tongues.

I am looking into all of it and have come up with some names.Alun Morrison had an excellent site but has been closed down because he was too outspoken he was a New Ager before becoming a Christian then Minister,he is a great guy,If you look on Cecil Andrews site he mentions him you can also buy videos from there.I almost went to Findhorn many years ago just before becoming a JW.

Here are some names.Montanus Tertulian Camisards John Lacey Joanna Southcote John Roe Manuel Lacunza Shakers.IMargaret Mcdonald. am sure there are many more I am no expert.

I go to a small fellowship who do not allow the excesses and abuses,but do not deny the gifts either.

The WOF preachers are making tons of money out of people's misery,They have property,Armani Suits,private jets etc:

Here is more info,though if you have watched the videos you can see how this is not Godly.

I don't necessarily agree with everything on thes sites ,but just make up your own mind,

Hi Sad Emo.

Hows you?I have had a difficult time of it since I saw you last .

It's scary what is being taught by some and many are being deceived.I felt like running back to the WT at first where I had all my thinking done for me.It can be very confusing when someone leaves the WT.

Take care love to all,

catch up again
