The end of all governments will come to an end sooner or later....that is what I read in the Holy scriptrues.
I don't think any religion has the truth.
i agree with jehovah's witnesses!.
(i bet reniaa will be shocked to see this thread!).
to jehovah's witnesses: i commend your zeal for god, your desire for accurate knowledge and truth of the bible, your goals of drawing close to jehovah, and following and obeying christ's teachings, and your time spent studying the bible.

i am not the oldest but have 3 years here!
restrangled.. how about you?.
It would be a good thing if some of you had a life ....I agree with RR.
Some of you lazy no good people actually post all day from your work station...collecting a check that you do not deserve.
Another person willing to work should be working in your place.
last year, i listened to a talk on cd from a member of the governing body, brother losch.
he says the dead bodies will be all over the place and we will have to bury them.
it has been mentioned on this forum many times.. so i knew that my family had not heard the talk, or else they would definitely have talked about it.
I thought the birds of heaven was going to clean up the dead bodies!
The standard answer is always, "If Jehovah wants that way then he will make right"
i have been out for 5 years.
my wife and i left together.
she saw the sham long before i did - though neither of us could 'put our finger on' what was wrong until we read coc, found the internet, etc.. i believe my wife leans toward atheism more than i do - i consider myself agnostic of the whole matter at this point.
The only time I think about my experience in the WTS is when I think of the book of revelation and the anti-christ. The speech Obama made to the Muslims got me thinking and picking up the red book on revelation to read again. How the anti-christ would subdue the nations of the world. etc etc etc
Anyone here watch "Grey Gardens"? Those people were really strange.
i know some very sharp men and women that remain as jws and that perplexes me at times.
i even know of a jw whose daughter got molested by her jw ministerial servant uncle and she still believes this is the "truth", even though she took her family member to court and won!.
i don't get it..
Being of average intelligence...I wouldn't know , but .... Most reasonable people are searching for something that holds their life together and gives them meaning for living because they are afraid of death. Along comes a knock on the door with the answer to their prayers.
i am starting the thread to provide a place for everyone tell their reasons for hating the watchtower bible and tract society of new york, inc.. first off i want to say, i do not hate jehovah's witnesses.
i hate the wtbts; because, they kill people with their lunatic blood policy and destroy families with shunning.. my mother at age 48, was diagnosed with a brain tumor.
the tumor could have been removed with surgery; but, that would have required blood so it didn't happen.
Bacause the WTS is one BIG Ponze scheme--You pay for everything and own nothing.
imagine hitting the lottery and clearing a cool million!
what would you do with all that money?.
Buy a nice houseboat and travel the rivers of the Mississippi to sponser poker parties==pay to play
this topic is in sympathy for all jehovah's witnesses visiting this site who have had bad experiences after they left the jws and went out into the world.
i've heard many ex-jehovah's witnesses saying, "well, i went into the world and found nothing but trouble!!
people were mean to me!
Although I was a witless for more years than I want to think about...I am thinkful I have an Independent mind ... I got fooled because I thought they had the answers to the scriptures . I stayed because I kept hoping for something that never came. I had questions they couldn't answer . I left because they were comparing themselves to men of the Bible and even Jesus.
some old timer jws (and probably some newer ones as well) say that they (the watchotwer) predicted world war i which broke out in 1914.. they apparently truly believe that statement.. how would you answer?.
Jws might have it wrong about 1914 and the end of the world....but if you look at it as the start of "the end of peace among Nations" you will be spot on! Every decade since, is a surprise . We never know what the next decade will bring and it seems to get worse and worse. The world is not as safe today as it was just 10 years ago.
What do you think the world will be like 10 years from now?
