  What is truth?

  by Heisenberg in

  2. friends

  well, i have been lurking on this site for several months and i recently decided to join as a member.

  i have made several observations and would like to make a few comments.. first, i am perplexed by the attitude of many on this site that are either former or active (but apostate) jws.

  they seem to have a strong hatred for the wts and also for rank and file jws.

  Why are you only exposing the so called lies that are taught by JWs but allowing people to promote other false teachings? Are the other lies just harmless?

  Some are far more harmless than others. And if you've really studied the dynamics of this forum, you'd know that Christians don't get a pass from atheists for their beliefs. Faith, in general, is debated ad nauseum on this forum. And when people come on here promoting their own brand of Christianity, they get called out on it.

  Edit to add: Welcome to the forum. Love the user name. I hope you stick around, though maybe you could tone down the judgment a little. Everyone has their own journey.

  Re Hostage victims killed in Sydney: "dont worry, at least they will NOW get a ressurection"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  so most would now know of the vile act in sydney last week where a man held hostage over 17 people in the lindt cafe in the middle of sydney.. two people were murdered...a beautiful, educated lawyer,loving mother of three, and a brave, loving young man working as the cafe manager.. this senseless and cruel act has touched everyone deeply, especially in the communities of sydney.

  the outpouring of grief and support for the victims and their families has been immense.. i was therefore outraged to have the following comment made by a witness in conversation at the kingdom hall:.

  "well, we dont need to be sad, because at least now they (the two victims) will get a ressurection.

  I remember hearing a similar comment from an elder after 9/11. I believe his exact words were "It's 3000 people who wouldn't have survived armageddon anyway."

  The ease with which they are able to detach themselves from such tragedies is staggering. There's no need to invest emotionally in the lives of non-jws, because their god will sort it all out.

  Why Do Atheists Struggle So Much Against God Who Supposedly Doesn't Exist?

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  an athist made this casual statememt on another thread:.

  this would suggest to me that there are at least some atheists that do have consistant beliefs.. .

  as an atheist, how could he possibly trust the reason that suggests this to himself?

  "Hello? Perry? Perry? Hello?"

  The line has gone dead...

  He's just imitating his god.

  Cofty, you have to be born again of the Spirit. And I doubt you have been otherwise you wouldn't oppose the preaching of Jesus.

  LOL. And yet, it's the atheists who are arrogant and condescending.

  Could a JW be DF for celebrating Festivus?

  by Stealth in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after all, it's a secular holiday not a religious holiday.. if i was still an active member, i think i would start a new tradition of celebrating festivus.

  most likely no jws would come, but that's okay, it's a famiily holiday anyway.. what grounds would the elders have to disfellowship you?.

  If you talk about the elders during the airing of grievances portion they could get you for apostacy. And the metal pole has some sort of pagan origin, you can be sure.

  I am going to pioneer after the holidays!

  by snakeface in

  yes, you heard right.. as you know, most christian organizations publish and distribute little tracts with their gospel message.

  well they also make some that expose the lies of the wt, and explain how it is a cult.

  even if people are not interested in the "gospel message" in these tracts, the tracts do a good job exposing the wt as a cult.. now, those of you who are now agnostic or athiests or just non-religious, please keep reading, to understand what i plan to do.... i am expecting to receive $$ for christmas.

  Can you imagine being a JW and going out in service, and EVERY house has already been contacted with one of these tracts?

  Or the majority of them will treat you with the same level of indifference that they treat actual JWs when you show up uninvited to their homes.

  What laws are on your side (in the U.S.) so you can leave quietly

  by oppostate in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in another topic "just quit quietly - the law is on your side" there was a lot of discussion about how to leave quietly without getting tagged publicly as "no longer a jw".

  here are some legal cases that could be used to show support for leaving quietly.. you have to first send a letter saying you're leaving that specific congregation, and that you don't want them to keep records of you.. if the boe says anything against you here are some court cases that make precedent for bringing a suit against them:.

  baugh v. thomas (1970).
