Sometimes I feel like I am going crazy with the WT teachings

by verystupid77 in

i went to the meetings this week because we have the co's visit.

i have not been in about five months.

oh my god some of the stuff you just cannot make this stuff up.. ok so like many of us i feel that there have been things done that are wrong in the "truth".

oompa

now now stupid77.....calm down.......this is not new.......you just happen to be a witch

how do we know?.......we can hold you underwater, and if you drown....you are not a witch.......if you do not drown...for sure you are a witch and we will burn you at the stake..............

you gotta shut your mind down to this loop crap and NOW!!......people also go to the loony bin for trying to figure out how god always existed....like there had to be SOMETHING that made god....but who made that person that made god.....HELP!!!..........oompa

Quickfire Questions to ask JW's at your door?

by ThomasCovenant in

jw
friends

occassionally (very) i have met jw's that don't know me and i would like to ask them something to make them think.. any suggestions for quick, simple, thought provoking questions to ask jw's that you may meet?.

i seem to remember 'v' did a youtube question along the lines of,.

''how can you belong to a religion that allows blood fractions to be transfused?''.

oompa

PLEASE do not use "quickfire questions"!!! (sorry Thomas C)

These will shut down the simple jw mind, or like blondie says....they wont have the knowledge in their little brain they should have

soooo.....take just a little time and show "genuine" interest.....get them excited about a "good call".......study just ten minutes a week and then gradually ask "sincere" questions......you may have a chance then......but most dubs will not call back nor want a study unless you land a excited pioneer............oompa

New book - Any thoughts?

by Jack Burton in

i'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the latest steaming pile of $#@!

from the convention this year.

my mother in law took the kids to the convention for one day.

Jehovah evidently purposed to have 12 apostles who followed Jesus during his earthly ministry form the future "Twelve foundation stones of New Jerusalem.". (pg 18-19)

YKNOT that is priceless......how you read it that far is amazing testimony to your fortitude......

they associate "followed" (past tense) with "the future"....something that had not happened yet obviously.........nuts....

however, i have not read this book....are they saying that is why Paul was chosen by god as the twelth apostle, and where is that in the bible?.....by lots cast and praying over them (thus getting god in on the dice "action")......Mathias was picked as the twelth.....was he dfd of that position.......just what was the point of that paragraph YKNOT....was it about Paul being chosen, and if so...what the hell is "jesus earthly ministry from the future???".......how can they "follow jesus during his future earthly ministry"....if he did not come back to earth to be followed in the first century, nor now???

please do not make me get this book and read it friends!!!.................oompa

two witness ruling ?

by KAYTEE in

jw
friends

if a paedophile commits a crime against a junior there has to be, according to the watchtower two witnesses for action to be taken.. if one party of a marriage commits adultery, does there have to be the same, (two witnesses) before action is taken?.

if not........................ kt.

oompa

lol...i just read this for the first time....WOW you did a nice job early on Big Tex........it seems Reniaa jumped on here with the first reply......then crawled away with her head between her legs (that is not a sexual accusation btw)

re this two witness thingy........OT did not require it in charges of rape or possible rape..........if nobody even heard the girl scream...she and boy were guilty of fornication and stoned!!!!.........no witnesses at all

of course if you are a lucky virgin in the field, and yell rape, and arent heard....you are rewarded by getting you marry your rapist.....oompa

nobody can make this stuff up...........

Is God's name absent in the Christian Scriptures?

by Spike Tassel in

perhaps this article will help you know for yourself: http://www.tetragrammaton.org/godsnameabsent.htm.

oompa

Otwo: However,in recent times at least ten fragments of the OT have been found, some of which are the oldest copies available, that did preserve the Tetragrammaton, usually in ancient Hebrew characters.

Why is it that they don't tell us anything whatsoever about these "at least 10 fragments" ? I will bet that these fragments are Hebrew translations of the Greek scriptures. Until they say something about the research, the details of what scriptures they are, how old they appear to be, I won't have to take this stuff seriously.

Me: Otwo, am i missing something here? the quote identifies them as OT...so not of the greek scripts.....WT got all giggly over the few fragments of greek septuigent bits that had the hebrew version of yhwh.......never mind that 99.9 percent of the greek sept manuscripts do not contain it...they argue that jesus would have been reading a greek sept with the name jehovah in it

how come nobody likes my WT source material???.......you gotta argue what the WT says dont ya???..........oompa......WT kicks ass!

Should I just keep my distance?

by wavvy in

jw
friends

reading other people's posts, its obvious that those of us who still have contact with our jw family are constantly bombarded with sick propaganda designed to make us feel guilty and scared.

we are all so happy to be out, yet these contacts with our family revive all the bad feelings.. my parents are always calling me to meet up with them for coffee or something.

i don't want them to be a part of this new life of mine because i don't need that kind of crap all the time.

oompa

i saved it with my family.....they all know that it makes me uncomfortable if not psycho to talk about jw stuff or religious stuff at all.....so it never comes up!.......unless i slip up and bitch at something that still drives me nuts........oompa
