I'm more interested in my 401K than in the 144K, and I suspect the GB is too.

would you need worship...think about it, you're god what would you need of worship...you made life isn't that enough, did you make it to grovel upon the earth seeking your approval ready to spite it at any infraction to demand of it total loyality or destroy it at your whim because it didn't meet to your approval...why would you create it in the first place why would you need it....

Why is it so hard for Ex-JWs to make that "final step" and give up Christianity?

by sabastious in

i'm not sure if it's just denial on a lot of people's part, but the reason the jws doctrine is so wacky and controlling is because they are among the few religions that really try to follow the bible!.

the bible is the culprit here in actuality, but even after someone has "wizened up" to the misguided teachings of jehovah's witnesses they still hold the bible as inspired word of god.. why don't you believe that the governing body was chosen as the faithful and discreet slave in 1918?

because the only real evidence to that fact is that they say so.

The Best Way to Stop a Jehovah's Witness In Their Tracks

by sabastious in

i have thought long and hard about ways to silence a jw who is inquiring about your defection of their religion.. they will look at you as a fool.

someone without faith and trusting in "man alone.

" a jw is programmed to never blame "jehovah" for the works of any man, so if anyone leaves the "truth" because of something the governing body did or is doing, they look at you with pity because you have fallen into an "easily avoidable" trap, all they think you have to do is pray and rely on your creator alone and everything will turn out ok.. so, here is a transcript of something i am working on, it's a conversation with a jw about "your decision.":.

This is easy.

Ask this one question: "Do you believe the WTS is inspired and/or directed by Jehovah?"

If the answer is yes, the follow-up question is, "Then why have the WTS prophecies down through the years (1914, 1925, 1975, etc.) been so consistently wrong?"

If the answer is no, the follow-up question is, "So why would you belong to an organization you admit is not inspired and/or directed by Jehovah, and in addition, has been consistently wrong with their prophecies down through the years?"

i'm an atheist having a serious crisis of conscience.

please help.. i've read many, many posts that talk about atheism as a faith as distinct as any other faith.

there has also been much made of the atheist lifestyle.. my dilemma -- i don't know what the atheistic faith entails.

To be an atheist you have to fail to see the evidence of a designer in all aspects of life.

Here we go with "there's got to be a designer" again.

Who designed our designer? Must have been a complex dude. Who designed our designer's designer? Must have been a complex dude, too. Who designed our designer's designer's designer's designer? Now that dude was really complex! Who designed...?
