  Children's comic about Lot and his family on jw.org

  by DuvanMuvan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the comic (which you can find here) is pretty much everything i dislike about the wt.. if you've read it you'll see how they have added to/ taken away parts of the account to make it read how they would like you to read it.. in this version, lot's wife is a materialistic b*tch who got what she deserved and lot is a hero who stood up to the bad sodomite men.. no doubt you also saw all the wonderful images of people dying while fire and sulphur rained down from the skies.

  and who says the wt don't provide for the "young ones".

  the part about this that makes me really mad is that this stuff is aimed at children.

  Question for those who no longer believe the bible is from GOD

  by confusedandalone in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  do you ever get to the point that you almost can not handle the sight of a thread where someone is trying to justify bible gods deplorable actions?

  i must admit i have actually gotten angry over this and it makes me feel awful at times.

  for instance someone who acknowledges spending hours studying the bible and cross referencing etc... and they still find a way to acknowledge that the supreme god has somehow asked for this to be written and recorded.. then those that say well i don't believe the entire bible just the parts that sound nice and that i am not ashamed to attribute to the guy i want to cuddle me at night.

  It also frustrates me to no end I have to avoid it. I've gotten into it on Facebook with people and it never ends well. It all comes down to "god hasn't opened your heart to understand" and I am like wtf lol. I'm done with people that believe the bible god. The bible god is an unfathomable psychopath and I'm done with that.

  a non jw relative who is a staunch critic of the wt attends the memorial with us every year, but just because she enjoys worshiping with her relatives.

  she fought against my parents becoming witnesses before i was born.

  she owns the book 30 years a wt slave and suggested i read it.

  CANDACE CONTI & THE NEW CONTRIBUTION DEMAND

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when the org lost the candace conti case, the court ordered (pending the appeal) that the org would have to deposit several million$ as security.

  the puzzling thing is, the org got a bond company to put up the millions, thereby incurring heavy interest charges.

  i've always wondered, 'why?????????'.

  Could it be that the letterheads might be their way of sourcing the PDF file? To track down the leak?

  Memorial Attendance: The Single Most Impactful TTATT "Witness" to Family and Friends

  by AMNESIANO in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  anyone who has awakened to ttatt and conscientiously left the organization--especially a once-prominent individual from a prominent multi-generational tribe of jws-- after decades of devout, high-profile "serve-us," who continues to put in an annual appearance at the memorial thoroughly subverts and undermines, by this one act, any hope s/he may entertain that his/her departure will stir family or former friends to question the whole watchtower bamboozle.

  by this one concession s/he assigns him-/herself by every single jw to their handy and dimissive purgatory: the "spiritually-weak.".

  nothing blasts a louder, clearer, and more deliberate message to the jws who personally knew you and those familiar with your jw bona fides that you are not merely "not making the meetings" or "spiritually-weak" but that there is a conscientious reason you have rejected the entire watchtower society life than choosing to forego what they know you know to be their one-and-only holy and sacred event of the year, the lord's evening meal.

  Facebook Site

  by Ding in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i ran across a facebook site entitled "ask a jehovah's witness anything.".

  it seems to be run by jw elders for jws and studies who are seeking information about "the truth.".

  they don't want apostates there or wt bashing.. i wonder if some people here would like to go to that site and ask questions.. of course, it would be easy to say stuff there that would get you banned.. i think the challenge would be to be respectful and see how long they will tolerate genuine questions.. i don't know how much follow-up they will allow.. of course, if you're fading, that's not a place to post.. .

  HAHA!! Check this one out:

  I have recently had a vacetomy and in a few weeks have to choke the chicken for a sperm test, what's the chances god will let me slip this one off and not kill me, can I be disfellowshipped for this or will they remove me as an ministerial servant - if I tell?

  Trinitiarian "proof-text" John 20:28 has some problems for "Trinitarians"

  by booker-t in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  all through my years as a jws and after i have always wondered about john 20:28 where thomas says "my lord and my god" to jesus.

  i just could not find a suitable answer for this text to disprove the trinity doctrine.

  i really never swallowed the jws intrepretation of "shock" by thomas something like "oh my god" but at the same time i had a gut feeling trinitarians were hiding something about this verse.

  OH NO!! The latest clip for kids on JW.ORG so very wrong!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so the latest clip on jw.org for kids is so wrong!.

  it is about the "victory song".

  lets all sing songs about how vengeful and destructive "our loving god" can be...along with cartoonish pictures...... all rejoice at the death of the evil people who used their "god-given free will", then got punished for doing so!.
