  Mom says "You will die at Armageddon" - good replies?

  by serendipity in

  my mother retired from her full-time job recently and has started attending meetings again.

  she also has plenty of time to think about her wayward children, including me.

  one night, we were talking and she asked me, again, why i wasn't going to meetings.

  The marketability of Armageddon and its fearful destruction for which it portrays is everywhere even in the movies as astute businessmen

  like C.T.Russell , Joseph Rutherford and the modern JWS today acknowledge that.

  There are other individuals who are cashing in on it too like Jack Van Impe, Harold Camping, Herbert W. Armstrong .....etc.

  I suppose as long as there are people that have the potential to believe in this sort of stuff it will

  it will always have its commercial appeal. $$$

  " You do want to save your life and the lives of others don't you ? " In are literature we have all the important information to

  show you how you can accomplish that, since we are Gods voice and channel of communication here on earth.

  You should have told her that you rather worship Homerovah, cause he's really a much nicer God

  Sorry serendipity your mother comes off as not being a loving caring person or mother for that matter, perhaps you should have told her that

  the WTS used and exploited The End of this system on to people to make them buy and distribute their literature and at the same time enslaving

  people to their whim. Its just one of many sad stories of men playing power and money games, in the face of religion.

  This formula worked so they stuck with it.

  Circuit overseers are nothing more that marketing executives and organizers,

  the PO in my old hall used kiss his ass big time when he was on a visit , treating him to 4 star restaurants and alike.

  Funny thing was everyone took it upon themselves that he would have some special and new information on the END.

  The name Jehovah and the April Study edition of the Watchtower

  by seek2find in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the 1st study article of the april watchtower, a statement is made about some apostates opposing the use of the name jehovah.

  i would like to seriously ask this question to lurkers and active witnesses.

  why is it that in the new world translation the name jehovah apears in the greek scriptures (aka new testament) only 237 times and yet in the watchtower magazine between the years of 2000 to 2006 the name jehovah appears an average of about 3000 times per year?

  We are Jehovah's Witnesses

  not a inch of truth in that statement but nevertheless quite a purcuring strong one for

  a commercailesed relgion to make such as it is !

  Article: The Atheist's Dilemma

  campos: the atheist's dilemmaby paul camposwhy is stanley fish so much smarter than richard dawkins?

  that question occurred to me last week, while attending a lecture at which fish, the well-known literary and legal theorist, did the thing he always does, which is to make the following point over and over again:.

  "no believer will find his faith shaken by evidence that is evidence only in the light of assumptions he does not share and considers flatly wrong.".

  My Witness Mom Asks " What Doubts Have you Had ? " - My Honest Reply

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  even though my 82 year old witness mom has been a jw since 1951 - we have always been close, able to talk about anything as she is not your typical mind controlled witness - she is reasonable and values family over alleigance to the wt society.

  in my 5 years being out of the witnesses as a fader both her and my elder dad have respected why i stopped going ( initially over injustices by elders ) and later as i've told them , the child abuse issues , view of higher education, etc.

  so when we were having a friendly mom to son chat - my mom opened the opportunity for me to share more about my doubts - and you guys know me - i carefully dived right in.. it started by my mom expressing concern over my fading witness niece blaming her witness parents ( my sister & husband ) for her problems as an adult .

  Homerovah the Almighty

  Folks that have been in this religion for a very long time such as your mother and my father for example seem to forgive and accept

  the many varied problematic circumstances that come up on occasion,

  it could be that they have committed themselves for such a length of time they still contain within themselves that

  this is still the best and only way to live in the world.

  For many its a balance of what if I don't, opposed to what if I do leave and this in itself creates so many of the fence sitters

  that you hear about in this faith. The problem that I see particular for those long time followers is the JWS have given them an staid in

  grained identity that they knowingly know they would have a difficult time removing and replacing.

  I do believe that my own father stumbled into this religion out of his own ignorance and fear of being a young man,

  I'm sure it all seemed good at the time when he first came into it, but over the years I can see his faith has dwindled down

  somewhat and I certainly have a level of empathy for him now based on that fact.

  Anyways keep that channel of communication open with your mother Flipper, you never know what might transpire.

  Brothers in her Cong. question if my mum is "really" anionted!? Why?

  by Witness 007 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i don't get this...my mum pioneered for 25 years and in the last few years she at 69 is claiming to be anionted and taking emblems.....well you should see the back stabbing!

  some claim she isn't since she doesn't work at bethel or contribute to the litrature???

  it becomes a big debate, is she or not?

  In my opinion people that take up this anointed stature are people trying to place themselves

  up above others deliberately in their congregation, I've met 1 or 2 and didn't see any particular difference

  other a little more holier than thou attitude coming out of them.

  Not to strike a personal blow to Witness007's mother.

  My mother in law is said to be of the anointed, unfortunately she is also known to have mental problems.

  Psychologically unbalanced people and the anointed ....ummm isn't that an interesting dilemma.

  Did You Ever "Learn" Anything Because You Went To The Meetings?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  years ago, you could attend a meeting and hear a well researched talk or give an answer from the watchtower that had some "meat" on it.

  i remember in the 70s when witnesses used to look forward to ruminating on what might be a "new point" or a veiled possible new understanding of a doctrinal view.. these days, the only thing you could learn from a meeting is that brother so-and-so got deleted or "is no longer a witness".. what a bore!.

  I learned that this religion doesn't belong to a God of any sort rather it belongs

  to some men in Brooklyn New York.

  Power should never be in the hands of the ignorant and the arrogant.
