  by usualusername in

  today my brother a non witness gave me a phone call.. .

  he spoke about this, that and the other.

  he then said that my oldest brother (an elder) was having his 25th wedding anniversary.

  I would suggest 2 and 3. As much as you may hate your brother, it's his anniversary. The day is about him, not you.

  The Good News of The Kingdom - Gods Plan for Salvation through the Ransom (Help Needed)

  by objectivetruth in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  when i first began studying in order to "make the truth my own", there were a set of scriptures that perplexed me and motivated me to dig deeper.. the scriptures are regarding the resurrection of the inhabitants of sodom & gomorrah.. see jesus words here - matthew 10:15 - "truly i say to you, it will be more endurable for the land of sodom and gomorrah on judgment day than for that city.

  " (ezekiel 16:48 / matthew 11:23 / matthew 11:24 / luke 10:12 ).

  any time that i brought these scriptures up to jw friends and family they would reply like this "jesus was speaking in hyperbole.. that is why he said it would be more endurable".. i would clarify and show them that it says "will be".

  Regardless of your view, the topic of Resurrection or Salvation or Ransom are all very important topics

  What if my view is that they're not important at all, but rather a figment of the imagination of superstitious men and have no basis in reality?

  Janesville was where I attended Circuit assemblies when I was in. But no, I won't be there. I have a 9 year streak of not attending that I don't intend to break.

  What Watchtower Belief/View Never Sat Right With You?

  by minimus in

  but their views on blood are just plain weird!

  meat has blood in it even if it's bled.

  still eating meat means consuming blood.

  The idea that people's salvation depended on how they responded to awkwardly delivered presentations of WT publications at their doorstep.

  2. friends

  this is an offshoot from the jws then and now thread...it made me wonder what exactly people find attractive about the cult today?

  why are they joining?

  any thoughts?.

  I think it's the lovebombing first and foremost. I also think that people are attracted to the seeming uniqueness of the religion. They buy into the idea that it is somehow different than other religions, and that they are somehow part of an exclusive club.

  Go to the gym?

  This is something that I did when I first left for good. I didn't necessarily make new friends, but it made me feel a whole lot better about myself. I also like the suggestion about doing volunteer work. Keep your mind busy on things that you enjoy, and the loneliness and negativity will subside over time.

  My Special Assembly Day was yesterday. Here are the lowlites.

  by BU2B in

  2. friends

  the assembly overall was basically all about doing more, not wasting your youth (a waste being anything but pioneering) and bashing apostates.

  well without further ado... .

  talk- the voice of jehovah is powerful.

  If the bible said two plus two equals 5 or 2 how would u respond, believers?

  by Jon Preston in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so would you accept that as true?

  or would you test it to see if it is, indeed, truth?.

  I would say that the bible is not a math textbook

  I beg to differ. With simple mathematics you can calculate that the Gentile times ended in 1914. Surely you're not suggesting that the WT pulled that equation out of its ass.
