  Figured out why I woke up from all this

  by bradford in

  2. beliefs

  i have always thought that i figured things out when i decided to research the generation, 607, 1914, etc.. i had an epiphany and realized it was triggered much earlier.

  about 2 years ago for some odd reason, while i was a very solid witness, i started reading the news, landed on a random article about scientology, and eventually a book written by jenna miscavige called beyond belief.

  she writes about growing up in the religion, the leaders who she was related to, and how she left.

  I didnt read the book. I have a similar waking though. As strong as I could be as a witness it all just fell apart for me. Before I jumped into any outside ttatt. That was a disturbing second level.

  Sometimes I think Jehovah's Witnesses overuse the word "historic"

  at the beginning of the may broadcast stephen lett said this was a historic broadcast.

  he explained that every member of the governing body had hosted a show and they were starting over again.

  that was all the explanation he gave.

  Sounds like accountants and lawyers have become a much higher priority to the borginization and special pioneers and builders.

  So what is this for? Are they anticipating some massive investigation? Audit? something?

  The Exodus confirmed..

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  for those of you that don't research this stuff i will give a little back story.

  we all know about the moses exodus, but history and archeology didn't seem to confirm this event.

  the only exodus out of egypt ever recorded was that of a group of asiatic tribes that had taken over egypt for a bit over 100 years called the hyksos and the followers of the pharaoh akhenaten who perpetuated a monotheistic idea of worshiping only one deity the aten.

  Scripture fatigue

  by New day in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i wondered why i felt so fatigued over many years from hearing the same things again and again at the meetings.

  even the scriptures become too familiar.

  a few days ago i quickly read through all the gospels and realised i knew all the verses in detail.

  The Bible is like a prisoner, the more you torture it it's going to tell you whatever you want to hear. Witnesses are great at this. Religion tried to hijack morals with their abrahamic sacred texts and that is not good for humanity.

  Little Thought for Lurkers, oringinal sin?

  by Diogenesister in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  just one little thought....adam & eve ate the fruit from the tree "of the knowledge of good & evil".

  so..in other words, before they ate they did not know right from wrong...hmmmm so how can you blame someone who does not know right from wrong?.

  for a crime to take place in human law you must have the act - 'actus reus' - and the guilty mind or 'mens rea' as it is termed.

  I believe the insight book states sin originated in heaven with Satan. Not Adam and eve.

  Which actually brings up a lot of other issues

  those who are trying to force their opposing beliefs on me are the trolls.

  No one is forcing anything on you, it's discussion board, that means asking questions and talking about things. Not all of them will align with your ideas. Criticism is not persecution.

  it amazes me the lack of responsibility we take for the problems around us.

  This is a JW specialty BTW
