  What not to say?

  by Wendy_Warden in

  okay, as most of you know from my other posts im trying to reach someone who is a jw.

  well, i was wondering if there were things that non-witnesses said to you that kept you from listening to them.

  are there things i should be sure not to say while witnessing?.

  What is Rom 15: 20,21 getting at?

  by yaddayadda in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  romans 15: 20 & 21 "in this way, indeed, i made it my aim not to declare the good news where christ had already been named, in order that i might not be building on another man's foundation; but, just as it is written: "those to whom no announcement has been made about him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.

  could this be used to show that jw's are wrong to condemn all other christians as false, because as long as these other christians have accepted christ and have him as their foundation, does it really matter if some of their doctrines are not quite right?

  i think this scripture shows that jw's are wrong to focus so much on the faults of other christian religions.

  2. beliefs

  i have never been a jw, but my parents-in-law are.

  i try to keep some kind of topical equilibrium in my dialogue with them, so i thought i'd ask here before i raise the subject: .

  a jw would say that only the 144,000 are god's children.

  The Bastard told on my dad

  by Lilycurly in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so...everything had been fine for a while.

  i wrote my da letter, very clear and also very surprinsingly "apostate" according to the elders.

  so at first, dad does what he's told is right and starts the shunning.

  Agnostic or Atheist?

  by done4good in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for all of you non-religionists out there: do you consider yourself an agnostic or atheist, and why?

  it seems many ex-jws that "loose the faith" have a tendency to go straight for atheism.

  i myself, would consider myself more of an agnostic, as i believe we have no real way of knowing if there is a god one way or the other, and it tends to seem just as extreme to me, to insist that there is not one.

  Got any quick 1914 / 607 points?

  by drew sagan in

  2. bible

  tomarrow i'm meeting with a jw friend who is connected to what's going on with these elders that came over our house and everything else.

  i can't get into details as to how it works out, but this is the important part.

  this guy (and elder) can be a quite reasonable person.

  advice please

  by miller in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i am not a jw and never have been.

  actually i only just discovered what it really means to be a witness.

  i grew up thinking it all rather harmless door-knocking and not having christmas, (which seemed pretty grim to a kid in itself) now, however, i have begun a relationship with a jw, well, an 'inactive' (i think you say) witness.

  by DannyBloem in

  2. scandals

  .

  if an atheist leads good life with high moral standards, because he choice to do so and thinks for logic it is a good thing, does it not mean much more then when a theist does the same, because his gods tells him to do it?

  what's your thoughs on this?
