  A fair and reasonable question for Jehovah's Witnesses

  by Gregor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  your organization has always been intently focused on "witnessing" and this includes going right up to strangers homes, knocking on their door attempting to engage them in a discussion of their beliefs.

  you come prepared to point out the error of whatever faith they hold.

  doctrines such as immortality of the soul, the trinity and eternal torment in hell you declare as false teachings and can back up your assertions with scriptures and skilled argument.

  Witnessing to a Witness

  by yuxist in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hello i found this site while researching jws.

  my motive is simply to reach out to those in the organization.

  not by going after them but rather responding to them when they show up at my door.

  Hey! Welcome to the Real World yuxist!

  I am sure some people will post some things you get you started. But here is one:

  Ask a Jehovah Witness why do they added the name Jehovah in the Greek Scriptures since we don't have a single manuscript with the name?

  Why all the changes?????

  by seek2find in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in my life time as a witness, there have been many changes and there are still more to come.

  like the "generation" change in the feb study edition of the wt.

  my question is this.

  All those changes show lack of spiritual guidance from God and lots of human imagination. Let's see the equation:

  Bible + Human doctrines - Holy Spirit = Religion.

  Yep. There is difference between been evil and been a robot (or solider). We were robots, but not everyone of us were evil.

  Mom's calling me...

  by Reverend Warhawk in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ...and checking my spiritual status.. .

  first, she called me on thanksgiving day, and told me in a oddly warm tone, "i suppose you made turkey, right?

  " to which i replied in detail how i prepared it (mom's a cooking freak and she's great at it), and how i was amazed at how tender and rich it tasted, being the very first time i roast a turkey.

  We ate turkey also. Me and a bunch of JWs. So, I think the problem is the date. We cracked the code! I have to write a post about that. Bye.

  That's where you get it wrong stillajwexelder. The DNA test will prove that Eve was created first. And the rib thing is just a myth. Who are you to talk against the science!?

  Good catch sajwee.

  When I realized the truth, I was mad. Really mad!!! and started to blame those crazy JWs, I said things like the JWs are this, the JWs are that, and I hate them! I was wrong. Generalization is not good. After all many of us here were JWs in our past life, isn't it? So, not every JW is a bad person.

  Granted, a lot of JWs could be real tools, stupids, loons, !@&*(!@(*s, etc. but there is some good people inside too. I realized that in the last meeting. I don't believe the WTS doctrines, but I really love my JWs friends. They are good people. I also love some catholic, atheist and even mulim people. The religion is not important to me anymore. I have peace now.

  As in Jesus' times, the real problem were the leaders, and today the real problem is the WTS.

  So, please don't confuse the JWs with the WTS. They are not the same thing.
