  Why Finding the One True Religion is Impossible

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jws like to think they have found the one true religion.

  but like so many other religious people, it's usually the religion they were born into, the only religion they know because it's the first one they found or, at the most, one of two or three (typically the second one after they left their first / born-in faith).. the trouble is, there simply isn't enough time to explore and investigate each and everyone of the many thousands of belief systems, religions and sects around the world.. think of it this way: which is the best neighbourhood to live in where you would be most happy and most successful?

  not just in the city or even the country you are in, but the entire world.. how would you ever know?

  Simon,

  Great thought. Let me condense everything with:
  

  Is impossible because it does not exist. You can't find something that does not exist.

  Sunday's WT...funny, but sad for Dubs...

  by DATA-DOG in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  despite my often smart-ass exterior, i really don't have any desire to see the r&f dubs suffering.

  i really do worry about the mental and emotional turmoil that they will experience, if and when the wtbts is truly exposed as a scam.

  i know it seems unlikely to happen, but you never know..... anyway, the wt for the week was cringe-worthy to say the least.

  If it is determined that a publisher should no longer have access to the Internet at the Kingdom Hall, the elders should change the password. The publisher should not be allowed access until the elders are convinced that the individual has rectified his conduct.

  WTF? Do they think they are the only ones providing freaking wifi? In some cities in US wifis are jamming your head everywhere.

  Jesus! The only thing they have to do is claim that they invented wifi...

  WT 1/2017: "Why is the Bible sometimes misunderstood?"

  by Schnufti in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the bible is designed to be understood by those who are humble and willing to learn.

  jesus said to his father: “i publicly praise you, father, lord of heaven and earth, because you have carefully hidden these things from wise and intellectual ones and have revealed them to young children.” (luke 10:21) the bible is written in such a way that only those with the right attitude would understand its message.

  people with a proud attitude—a common trait of “wise and intellectual ones”—tend to misunderstand the bible.

  I think that by him mentioning "The old guys from the GB", he is trying to stop the line of thinking of many JWs that all this new recent changes were put in motion when the old guys died.

  So, they want people to stop thinking that the old guys were blocking anything, hence that is why he portrays them as "progressives".
