  How Would You Approach a JW "studying" in Public Transportation?

  i get to the office by train.

  recently, when i left the train at my destination station i noticed a jw, sitting there, obviously "studying" the "revelation"-book for the night's cbs.

  it was too late for my, but i was thinking about saying something like "don't you get it at the third time that this is bullshit?

  I would have just voted for a running dive tackle/bodyslam. Then just get up brush yourself off and walk away like nothing happened!

  LMAO! hilarious! I would do what the other posters say about starting a convo...he will be caught unaware that you are a ex-JW. Just say you have friends that are, and ask questions that he wont know how to answer....there are quite a few recent posts that list some topics, sorry I can't recall them! what good am i?

  you have nothing to lose. I do it to jw's all the time. your wts knowledge will make this jw feel stupid . trust me

  LOL. You could do it, heck, it would make the train ride more interesting...

  So if I agreed with you than Im using my brain .See how you sound.How can you say Im not using my brain if you follow other people too/

  Ariana, I am not asking you to agree with me! Disagree with me!

  I just want you to THINK for yourself, and NOT keep spouting society beliefs.

  For instance, if you did read other Bibles, which you claim you have, then why don't you believe in the Trinity?

  Why? Because the Society told you that their translation is the correct one. & they have the truth, everyone else is wrong, and you believe them.

  I am not saying to agree with me, just to REASON for yourself. That is all. Do your own research.

  THEY HAVE A PROVEN HISTORY OF LYING.

  If you still want to believe everything they tell you, then so be it,

  Everything I have said has been for your best interest. I have NO angenda. I have NO axe to grind when I tell you they are lying.

  I have no reason to deceive you Ariana.

  That is the part you do not understand. They have very good reasons to deceive you.

  Power, Control and Money.

  Did I ever claim that Jehovah does listen to me?

  and did Jehovah tell you that He doesn't listen to those who don't read the New World Translation and believe every word in it?

  OR did the Society tell you that's what Jehovah thinks?

  you choose not to pay attention that is your decision take care Rin

  We chose to stop being lied to and misled and brainwashed. We chose to think for ourselves again, and use our own brains.

  Try it sometime, you might be surprised at how smart you might actually become.

  Ariana, have you learned about the Bible from anyone else besides the Witnesses??

  Have you read other Bibles? Really? Then if you believe what the other Bibles say, then you would believe in the Trinity, or a Dual Godhead, since other translations heavily point to the Father and the Son as being one person.

  You That know better than those who dont know, you will be worse than them who dont know if you are wrong

  I am really sorry, Ariana, I tried reading this 3 times to understand it, please explain what you mean....NO INSULT intended, I just cannot understand this sentence.

  You are not God to say I am wrong

  Never claimed to be God. Do you tell your children when they are wrong? have you ever pointed out to someone else when you know they were wrong? Did you think you were God when you were doing so?

  That is why we are here, Ariana, to LEARN from one another. If you do not want to believe that you can possibly be wrong, then how can you learn anything?

  If he tells me Im wrong then I am wrong

  Please tell me how God personally communicates with you. Do you hear his voice? I'm seriously asking. I'm not making fun of you at all.

  prove otherwise from the bible that what is written is all wrong

  We have been trying to do that, you just haven't been recognizing or acknowledging what you have been reading since you came here.

  I dont care who there represent What does it matter who they are Why do you hate them so much

  There is her answer to your very good question: Brin.

  They are correct? Have you ever researched the bible on your own? Referenced material that wasn't published by the society? How can you say anyone that dosen't blindly follow their interpretations dosen't believe in the bible? It's easy to take scriptures our of context and twist them to suit you. Dosen't make it right. -Brinjen

  Ariana does not want to think for herself, Ariana would rather be told what to think, and what to believe. It is much easier that way. Uses much less brain power...you know that happens to an organ or muscle that is not excercised? It atrophies.

  Ariana doesn't care that they are lying to her. It doesn't matter to Ariana because ''who cares who they represent''(?), and what does it matter who they are, but at the same token, these imperfect men must be dispensing the right food at the proper time, because I, Ariana am defending them as being right.

  I, Ariana, read it in their translated Bible, with the guide of their books, so it must be the truth, because they told me it's the truth.

  I am not insulting you, Ariana, I am asking you to THINK FOR YOURSELF.

  I want to hear YOUR THOUGHTS, not regurgitated society teachings.

  I am very glad to hear your children are in school!

  Just like it is also written Satan is the ruler of this world many things will seem right to us, but in Gods eyes they might not be.We need not to trust in this world so much of what the wise man thinks but God knows the answer to lifes questions.There are many false things in this world if we dont trust in what God says everything that we come across might be wrong, we are only human, imperfect humans that dont know the answers to everything since we did not create ourselves

  Ok, you did not answer my question.

  What things are right to us? Who are you talking about?? What things are you refering to?

  We are only human. Really?

  Humans don't know the answer to everything. oh really?

  That's not what the SOCIETY says, they claim to have the answer to everything. They claim to have God's Spirit and backing.

  You do not think for yourself, you parrot exactly what the society teaches you. Therefore, you MUST think that they have the truth.

  I feel sorry for you and for your 4 children,

  I hope that you are not homeschooling them,

  and if you are, I hope you put them back into school where they can get a proper education from a certified teacher.
