  Doubting JWs ever approached you?

  by greendawn in

  2. experiences

  while you still were jws did any doubting jw ever try to talk to you about the flaws of the org and instil in you some doubt?

  someone had told me that he didn't believe the gb members were straight and honest people that many of their ideas were wrong and that they had a secret agenda to pursue beyond the one they publicly proclaimed.

  at the time i thought he may be right since they seemed to control everything and didn't allow anyone to contribute even the (so called) anointed.

  Having survived all that though, I still believe we are where we are today - because of where we were yesterday.

  I agree with you Nellie, I too believe that who I am today is a direct result of my past experience good and bad. I must say I like who I am right now and I feel comfortable in my skin most of the time!

  I have been approached by JW with doubt but at the time I still really believed so I just told them to pray more or somethin like that! I know the one guy is out but his life took a turn for the worst, he's on drugs and has been in jail a few times. Has kids he never sees and in general is struggling to keep it together.

  muskogee daily phoenix, ok - 14 minutes ago.

  jehovahs witnesses go to meetings twice a week to train and learn how to manipulate people into questioning their belief and doubting their faith.

  Most R & F JWs believe that they are truely following God so I don't agree "that one is a demon and the other a demon in training." Often two JW of equal standing (two pioneers ) will go out together. When someone starts to rant and rave they better have all their facts right or they just come out sounding like lunatics themselves.

  i've been invited to join the freemason's.

  the story behind this happening is this.

  i was talking to a guy i know very well, and i noticed he had a masonic emblem {the compass and square} on his ring.

  My boss is an ex mason. He said he couldn't carry on because some of the rituals did not go down well with his Christian conscience. He doesn't say what those rituals were and doesn't really talk about it much. I know that he was chairman at one time and was very busy cause he had to visit other lodges. My husband grandfather was a mason until he died a few years ago he also didn't talk about it much.

  when i was in my teen years i spoke to an ms and his wife about the physical abuse i had to endure from my father.

  while they acted very concerned nothing was done about it.

  no one ever spoke to me about it again and my father was never spoken to either.

  Now, outside the JW, you have a "bad day."

  In the JWs, you had a "bad life."

  That's so true! Thank you for the encouragement.

  Please put your JW heads back on for a moment... (Memorial Meal)

  by AlphaOmega in

  something has been bugging me for ages about the non-participation of r&f jws in the memorial meal (sounds like a mcdonalds deal) !.

  i've just worked out what it is.... only the "anointed" can partake of the emblems.. but at the original meal, as instituted by jesus, no one was anointed.

  the anointing came at pentecost, after he had died !.

  Unbabtized, do you really believe that out of all the people in the world Jehaovah could only find a handful of Americans to do his work worldwide? The governing body have been mainly old American men since the beginning of the WBTS. Why is it that all the books and mags published are written by the writing commitee and not by the annointed ones around the world?

  A few months later I asked the lady that was studying with me if she didn't think that the paradise was just a spiritual state of mind. Well she got all huffy and phoned one of the elders right there and then and within half an hour I had an elder speaking to me about how dangerous it is to have independent thinking!

  How's that for screwed up sence of priority.
