  i have been a jw all my life, my sister and i are now in our late twenties and are so unhappy and after desparate attempts to keep up meeting attendance are not spiritually motivated.

  we in last few weeks have found some very disturbing things in our search such as the un involvement.

  after research on these things and use of the wt library the society speaks for it's self on these issues calling the un the "disgusting thing" that the book of daniel spoke about(wt 85' para.

  jesus said that his followers would be persecuted like he was.. so, are the jw's more persecuted than any other religions, and if so why?

  They fall foul of societal norms as do orthodox jews, human instint is to repel anything that threatens their sense of security and traditions.

  How can Jehovah be a God of love if he sanctioned so much death and destruction as documented in the OT?
  I think Christ has out done him on the love quality.

  Ozzie,
  
  what doctrinal things did you discover to be wrong aside from blood and 1914.
  
  Did your views of the status of Christ and the trinity change.
  What about preaching? It seems that Christ wanted his followers to preach?
  
  I was talking to a christian theologian who said that as much as he loves his christian faith he does not feel he has sufficient knowledge to preach the Gospel. Maybe he is correct or maybe he is underestimating himself.

  Would they be allowed to have sporting competition?
  
  They would say that that is about ego so would probably ban it.

  The Jw's have shifted the meaning of christianity from a faith based acceptance of Christ to a Judaic follow the Law regime.
  
  They wouldn't be as bad as the Taliban but they might have Russian style gulags for the no hopers and Chinese re-education camps for those that have a glimmer of hope of returning to the fold.

  Misrepresentation

  by quango in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my understanding of the "big snooze" is that the essay maintains that jws have misrepresented quotes from secular sources.

  is this message board not an obvious misrepresentation?

  it claims to represent jehovahs witnesses (in its title)yet the vast majority of posters are anti jw and many have been expelled.

  Ok,
  
  Well it doesn't really make sense then because the whole point of this forum is to get at the truth of things with some humour thrown in here and there. You haven't come across to me as someone that needs kicking off this forum.

  I think preaching would be a part of their national service.
  Smoking would be banned which would be a good thing.
  
  Any other ideas?
