  I think the phrase "true religion" is an oxymoron.

  Do JWs Still Feel The Need To Understand Their Teachings Or Have They Pretty Much Abandoned That Idea?

  by minimus in

  i think most jws do not know how to explain their religious beliefs.

  i don't think they could explain their views of 607 b.c.e.

  , 1914, any prophetic bible books, the old vs. the new fds understanding, the blood fraction reasoning, etc.. do you think the average witness is able to explain from the bible why they believe things as they do?.

  The short answer is no, they don't feel the need. JWs assume that everyone they encounter in the ministry is less educated about the bible than they are. They don't really expect to have to defend their teachings, except on the most elementary level.

  New James Bond Film: Skyfall

  i had an opportunity to see skyfall in the theater yesterday.

  it's almost as good as casino royale, with some parts of it being even better.

  the opening sequence was a real thrill, one of the best.

  Bring on Idris Elba, or someone else with the Connery animal magnetism.

  I'm thinking a lighter, less serious Bond. Maybe Simon Pegg, or Ricky Gervais.

  Ethos (and all still mentally in): Truth, Tipping Points and Standards

  by NeverKnew in

  if this is "the truth," why has the information provided over the years contained so many errors?

  at what point does "error" become "outright lie" for you?

  how high (or low) are your standards for your spiritual leaders?

  Hopefully he doesn't get banned, like Recovery, and have to start all over.

  Definitely on my must see list. I rarely watch movies out in the theater anymore, but plan on watching this one.

  Did you feel guilty for not pioneering?

  by brokethechain in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i started pioneering the month i finished high school, and never stopped until i awakened, 17 years later.

  it seems like the entire time, there was so much emphasis on pioneering.

  every field service meeting seemed to have a part that communicated the message that jehovah would zap us at the big a. or people would die because of us if we didn't have extenuating circumstances (i always translated as bad health or kids, but even then, there were always "examples" of the mom with 5 kids that was pioneering).

  For the longest time, yes. It didn't help that my oldest brother, and both of my sisters, all became regular pioneers straight out of high school. It was naturally assumed that I would follow suit.

  so yes, we have a pretty damn good idea how you guys operate. maybe not YOU per se, but by and large, we know the culture within.

  It never ceases to amaze me the way WT apologists come on this forum and assume that everyone here is completely ignorant of the JW religion, and that their deception will go unchecked.

  If the length of my hair or sideburns, or my choice of entertainment, can be a source of stumbling, than yes, the WT can be held accountable for far more egregious things.

  Probably the main and unwavering cornerstone of this religion is that you must not masterbate.

  Except verbally, which the GB does on a regular basis.
