  Please explain to me how the God described in the bible has qualities akin to some of the worst human rulers of history and yet you yearn for Him to rule over you.

  Just an objective, open ended, open-MINDED question for anyone that wishes to discuss it. Or perhaps multiple questions:

  Does a society or civilization NEED morals in order for it to survive, thrive and prosper? And then how do you draw the line between what is moral and what is not?

  Abraham.... why such a GOOD guy?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  by outbutnotdown in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i used to be a jw, (from birth until about 12 years ago... now 34).

  the one thing i could never figure out was why abraham was considered to be a chosen person, not only by christians but muslims also.

  for arguments sake, we have to take the same stance that other religious people do, that the bible is factual and literal.... (although my opinion on that is different).

  You'll just need to do one of these blanket statements again when the unwelcomed masses have piled up again.

  How Much "Independent Thinking"?

  by patio34 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ex-jws often excuse behavior of jws (and their own past behavior) in their shunning and other cruel, bizarre practices by saying they're in a high mind-control group.

  that's true, it seems to me, to only a certain degree.

  the reason i think this is that most jws do, in fact, practice a lot of independent thinking and go against the teachings of the wtbs.

  Euphamism, great point about DF'd ones with the guilt. You don't have to be in the religion for it to have a hold over you. And they are the biggest "religious lawyers" I have ever been associated with in my life. Much like the Pharasees. I started to realize this when we were studying the Greatest Man book ironically.

  As I was looking through it I skipped the first 'OF' but I caught the second one and thought 'there was another 'OF' so I went back and caught it and caught all 6.

  None of these areas though focus on 'the truth' as it were. When it comes to the core beiefs, those are impenetrable from a standpoint of questioning. The things that they do compromise on are directed outward at personal matters and things hidden from view, but witnesses are often different people at the kingdom hall than they are at home. And thats where the 'group mentality' takes over.
