  How did the "Truth" set YOU free ?

  by JH in

  the bible says that the truth will liberate you or set you free.. the watchtower applies this to their religion as if their "truth" sets people free.. if that's the case, how were you set free when you became a jw?.

  The Jehovah's Witness Cult Hires Illegal Immigrants

  working in retail management is a never ending adventure.

  you never know what is lurking around the next corner.

  such was the case about six months ago when my boss asked me to stay over on a sunday night to watch the store while a floor cleaning crew did a strip and wax.. now with my self being a former jehovah's witness, i already knew that a great deal of the jw's owned and operated their own floor cleaning buisnesses, and there was a good chance that the floor crew on that sunday night would more than likely be a jw operation.. when the guys first walked in, i just had a feeling that my hunch was right.

  The Bank of America is now setting up Checking Accounts for 'Illegal Aliens'- there is plenty of things to pick on us about; that is a cheesy one! As time goes by, more & more laws are being passed contradicting other laws, and also making it harder & harder to carry out! There are ENDLESS businesses owned by 'Christians' of different denominations that do the same thing; the government has ruined the business environment for small businesses! But that's another topic! Instead of zeroing in on faults, why not try virtues? Think we don't have any? What wonderful chuch do YOU go to? Or are you just someone keeping to yourself while criticizing those that try? Mad

  Is Atheism/Evolutionism Dangerous? Questions for Unbelievers

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  does the belief that there is no all-loving diety in which to be accountable to make it easier or harder to treat and judge others they way that you want to be treated and judged?.

  since evolution supposes that life and ultimately man who is at the top of the chain got here through a process of the fittest dominating and killing off the weaker, and since most modern evolutionists in democracies no longer think that this is good to practice, how do you deal with the fact that you are a living contradiction of your own belief since you pronounce the same thing both good and bad?

  "The blind guide behind the evolutionary process is natural selection. It doesn't give a shit whether it produces 'benign' creatures or 'evil' ones it simply finds the most effective way of ensuring the survival of the best genes."

  Thank you for such a caring reply, Vinnie! I'm ready! I get sarcastic when people just want to pretend & insult! NOTHING is more important than truth- yet many times it's very painful. Agape, Mad

  Is it possible to have a intellegent conversation with a JW?

  by A-Team in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  meaning:

  not resorting to name calling, yelling, belittling ones religion, being able to express your ideas, etc.

  also, are there any active jw forums that non/ex jws go, and preach the gospel to the jws?

  Minister Amos-"What was your opinion during the study on the 9/2005 WT that discussed how terrible it is that the Mennonites practice shunning or did you miss that one? Just curious to know if you were "in" then and if you even noticed the irony/hypocrisy. I think you might be surprised how those little comments just get overlooked when a person is in full-on cult mode." Nope- missed it! "Shunning" in ANY church is proper- ONLY if the person in question pretends to be a Christian- and continues to do wicked things without remorse- and is unwilling to change. Sometimes one is disfellowshipped/shunned without that being the case- and that is wrong! Mad

  That sounds pretty hokey to me; I've NEVER heard that in over 30 years of being in different congregations... You're either fabricating that- or there were some SICK puppies there- who have nothing in common with the rest of us (JWs)! Mad

  Coming to know Christ and who the True God was, that Hell was the Grave, that the dead were (gasp!) REALLY dead, that there was a REAL Government worth giving your allegiance to, etc., etc. etc. etc.- and experiencing the Holy Spirit ( sorry- no such thing as 'Holy Ghost' or the Easter Bunny!) set me free from SO much, that I have a POWERFUL love of my brotherhood- altho I,too, am ashamed of the mistakes make by the so-called Faithful & Discreet Slave, am proud to be a JW, looking at my Organization as my slave...NOT my leader!

  I already apologized to the Mormons for laughing at their Mormon Bible.

  by MinisterAmos in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i admit it, i made fun of the mormons along with the rest of the jws.

  we always though it was really funny that they were following the instructions in "the book of the mormons" which is the 2nd verse of the new testament given to their 16 y/o prophet by god and jesus christ.

  imagine that any religion could place any co-called "holy book" on the same plane as the bible!

  You-" So, MAD do you really think, when Paul or Jesus orated, that they suddenly switched to Hebrew when discussing Jehovah? They spoke the language of the times to the people of the times.If your scholarship matched your confidence, MAD, you'd be downright impressive."

  What do YOU think; THEY wrote the name- AND also spoke Hebrew; since we weren't there the rest is guesswork- EXCEPT that neither Christ nor his apostles & apostles babbled the Trinity- that started a century after Christ had been resurrected- and it caused bitter disputes since it contradicted what Christ & scripture revealed.

  Your thought? Did Jeus give a meaningless prayer when he said "Hallowed be thy Name"??? Or did the Christians become like the Jews, who not only left the True God- but had stopped using His name altogether?
