  I think about family members I haven't been able to speak to in over twenty years because of a religion that claims to be Christian.

  New WT publication encourages "questioning"

  by Smiles in

  2. bible

  many here have been reproved or disfellowshiped for asking questions about the bible and the jw interpretation of it.. after encouraging the asking of questions, one of the newest wt publications states: "others worry that asking questions could lead to shame or embarrassment.

  and some decide that such questions are best left to religious leaders and teachers.

  that quote is found in the first chapter of the new publication that all congregations will begin studying each week at their congregation book study.

  For those of you who want to question anything just remember who is "the decider."

  if witnesses really think their version of a funeral talk is a good way to give a witness ...think again.

  ...oh yea i also was really pissed how your funeral turned out...while i was sitting there ...kept sayin to each other how much we hated it and how pissed we were that he was sayin all that shit.. .

  To top off the depressing talk the Witnesses didn't talk to me at my mom's funeral in 96, I am dissasociated, that made it twice as hard. I thought when I was a JW in the late seventies they could talk to you at funerals, has that changed?

  When you see how the Witnesses cut people off from their families for exercising freedom of worship it reminds me of the cruelty in the old testament, the stonings, killing all your enemies, making the people play for the sins of the King, sacrificing your son to God, etc.

  band of roving ceo's spotted near mexican border .

  san antonio, texas (reuters) - unwilling to wait for their eventual indictments, the 10,000 remaining ceos of public u.s. companies made a break for it yesterday, heading for the mexican border, plundering towns and villages along the way, and writing the entire rampage off as a marketing expense.

  "they came into my home, made me pay for my own tv, then double-booked the revenues," said rachel sanchez of las cruces, just north of el paso, "right in front of my daughters.

  What is there to learn?

  by 2112 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i mean really, besides changing some stupid rules now and then what is there for a jw to learn?

  how many biblical truths or new understandings have come out in the last 3,5,or 10, years?

  they keep on "studying" and yet they learn nothing new.

  Alot of fundamentlist Christian religions do that, if you listen to them on the radio they say the same thing over and over, I think it kind of puts their listners in a hypnotic buzz, I was listening to a Christian station on the radio today and the song they were singing kept repeating the same lyric over and over it must have been at least twenty times, my head started to hurt listening to it and it reminded me of my JW Tower study days.

  .

  jesus seemed to believe in the story of noah's flood.

  i wonder if god really drowned millions of people like the bible says for simply eating and drinking and not taking any note?

  Yes Slacker but the minority of people that followed the Witnesses from 1968 to1975 turned out to be wrong, the majority of people who were skeptical and didn't listen when the witnesses called on them were right, unlike the majority who didn't listen to Noah.

  Has anybody told Christendom, what kind of plague was it anyways- door knockers disease, or bad phrophcey- itis, or the now we said it now we didn't 1975 flu that flew by without explanation. Maybe it was the shunners disease where you can't talk to family members or former friends.
