Talk on Apostates

by IslandBrother in

have you ever walked on the beach and tried following another persons footprints; matching your own steps with them as exactly as possible?

by calling ourselves christians, we have indicated our desire to do just that, to follow closely in the footsteps of christ.

have you ever noticed though that on a crowded beach, , there were several sets of footprints, many of them may look alike.

Isnt it funny How the Society tells the rank and file brothers and sisters what apostates believe and do, and yet do not let the rank and file see for themselves if this is really so. I remember how I used to think I knew what apostates were about, and I was WRONG.

IF the GOVERNING BODY and the WATCH TOWER BIBLE TRACT SOCIETY have nothing to hide, they would allow their doctrines to be scrutinized and thoroughly examined against the facts and their past teachings, to let JW's read other Bibles to see the inconsistencies, to read about the translator of New World Translation....Yes I used to think that it was infallible, that it was unbiased....wow, was I WRONG.

Does not a dictatorship tell the masses what to read, what to think, what to believe???

Do you think that communist countries are in the right to tell their people what to believe and how to live their life?

Do you think Hitler's viewpoint was correct, or was it a psychoctic dictatorship?

Now tell me if you can honestly say that the Society doesn't have total control over what you are allowed to view, read, hear and think???

When you wake up and realize that you are listening to men who claim to have guidance from god, you will understand why the society doesnt want you to read ''apostate'' information.

it is because they are SCARED you will learn the truth about their lies and deceit....

How would you feel if you found out that your wife of 10 years had been cheating on you for the last 10 years and that she wasnt the person that you thought you married...wouldnt you be angry and upset? Wouldnt you feel hurt and betrayed?

That's how you will feel after learning about their history and the tactics used by the Society on it's great crowd of little sheep.

You can choose to believe me or not, but I tell you this much I have nothing, absolutely nothing to gain by telling you this.

I just want people to be happy, and if The Organization does that for you, then great, stay blissfully ignorant. but when things start to bother you, when that little voice of doubt starts to get louder in your head, you will understand that where I am coming from, and you will do research into the religion that has held your life in it's hands.

Hi Fred,

Welcome to the JWD forum,

I hope you are not saying that I claim to have faith (I do not) and I hope the scripture you quoted isn't refering to me claiming to be righteous (as I am a sinner, not a righteous person)

If you are under the mistaken impression that I am an active JW, please be assured that I am not.

Just curious as to what your point was

lol Mia,

that's why I hadnt heard of it either, the title had a familiar ring to it, but i couldnt remember it....no surprise since it was released after i stopped going....

ok people... think Matrix for a minute here

take the blue pill and wake up not knowing anything different, or do i take the red pill and go down the rabbit's hole to find the truth.

I could immerse myself in the book, and use my trusty old congnitive dissonance to lull me back into a JW trance again.....good ol' denial.

What Does The Bible Really Teach?--LP----PDF

by Atlantis in

the two letters [lp] in the subject title mean [large print].. this book was previously listed on [ re-examine ], however, the older pdf would not magnify properly for viewing.

this is a new scan in a larger resolution.

click on the link below and when the next page appears scroll down to the bottom and look to your left for a [ yellow and orange button ] to appear, then click that download button.

My Journey-Preparation for a "Theocratic Career"

by truthsetsonefree in

as a child, at the tender age of four yes four, i was made a publisher.

i remember robert mills, the congregation servant as pos were titled in those days coming over, stooping down to my level, shaking my hand and congratulating me.

at the tender age of six i was taught by mom that as a future brother i would need to handle responsibilities in the congregation.

What do you think is behind the watchtower change in 2008 ?

by 5go in

i think it's an atempt to catch faders or atleast make active dubs feel special.

it also could be a cost cutting measure to though.

getting rid of the km's and even up awakes and watchtowers would save some trees.

found-my-way

this is coming from the mouth of an active JW who still blindly insists that the GB and the FDS are appointed and being directedby Jehovah.

She said, that the reason behind making a Watchtower for the public/ and a Watchtower for the publishers was to keep the more meaty spiritual food that the average householder would not understand anyways (obviously, since who would understand the shyte that is written in the study articles?),

and it is a seperating work, to keep the JW's more and more seperate from the world...and this baptized publisher was EXCITED about the new changes!

can you scream CULT?
