God is not a good Samaritan

by peacedog in

i don't start threads very often, but yesterday i had something of an epiphany as i was doing some work in the yard.

deep in thought, as i usually am when doing mundane tasks, it occurred to me that while jesus encouraged us to be "good samaritans", god himself is not a good samaritan.

in the parable by jesus, a traveler is left beaten and robbed on the side of the road.

That is a true statement.How many years does it take,if god cares about mankind to take action.If he did provide mankind a savoir J.C. than why do we not have 1900 year old people.Also when J.C. came on the scene 2000 yrs ago there were approx.100 million people give or take a few mil.If the road to salvation is narrow and few finding it, as time goes on the poor good for nothing samariton will have to kill many many billions of people.So IF he was the good samariton he would of taking action.

Also what is wrong with living a good life and we die that is the END.Why bring the dead back to life only to kill them a 1000 yrs later.

Generation 'New Light' is Actually Working

by zoiks in

as ridiculous as it seems to me and most of you, the infamous 'generation' update has every jw that i know in a tizzy.

they're all worked up about how 'exciting' it all is.

i just received a letter from my mom (she only communicates through letters now), and she brought it up - how they carefully explained it at the convention, and how it shows that we are so close to the end.. unbelievable.

TD I think you are correct.Also the WBTS said this overlapping GEN would be a short period of time.Could they be looking att a 120 year GEN or the start of the GT 2034.

Why Answer the question: WHO then is the Faithful and Wise Servant?

by Terry in

we begin with a familiar scripture:.

matthew 24:45-51 (new international version) .

45"who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time?

bobld

Master=Jehovah.Faithful and wise servant=Jesus.Why,because J.C.was to provide the ransom and free mankind from sin amd death.It has not happened.

Am I the only one who thought the GB was 100% correct when they were a JW?

by NiceDream in

a few months ago i began researching my doubts on the internet about the wtbts and i came across a bunch of crazy facts.

this helped me realize this isn't "the truth.".

when i was growing up, i believed the society was always right, and we needed to obey what was in the publications.

bobld

I never did.I felt the (j.w.) were to the GB,like the R.C. to Mary.Both worship a human being.Total nuts.

How Long Did It Actually Take You To Leave The Organization?

i started reading "apostate" books when i was a teen at the library.

it was more curiousity than anything else.

at home, i used to read all the old publications and i'd notice how beliefs had changed.. with ray franz's books that i read clandestinely, i started to realize the truth about "the truth".

In spirit a nanosecond, in body still there.
