  My Very First Post

  by leaving-jws in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have been so reluctant to post basically because i am so torn about exposing my personal life.

  i happen to come across this website by mistake about 6 months ago.

  i agreed with your opinions of the jws view on higher education and independent thinking that i found on this website.

  i am a salesman and in one of my customers premises i noticed a watchtower and awake in the bin!.

  my wife helped me come up with this thread with some good ideas here.

  there are a few gems that witnesses use as excuses, phraseology they use to make excuses for their beliefs.

  The Final Fallacy: If Witnesses Ruled the World

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after all the disproofs and debunking of the watchtower society are done and its status as the "truth" is destroyed, we are left with one final.

  argument supposedly in their favor: if the whole world was nothing but jehovah's witnesses, it would be a peaceful paradise.

  this is the last argument that held me in the "truth" as an elder - inspite of all the lies and corruption i encountered in "jehovah's.

  WOW! look at all the Newbies...Welcome!

  welome all..... i guess poping in on the board after missing a few months it is easier to note... i remember joining in 2002....we would get maybe 1-2 people a week?....now it seems we get that many people a day..if not more.. another way you can tell, is how many "post" are done in just a short time.

  it takes hardly anytime time to get your "thread" bumped to the next page.....job well done!.

  just another sign the cracks are going up the "witchtower".

  Logic and the fallacy of 1914

  by neverendingjourney in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  logic dictates that to prove a conclusion you must break it down into its individual parts and prove each individual element.. for instance, i can prove that 2+2=4.

  i can also prove that 4 - 1 = 3 and that 3+10= 13. therefore, i can definitely prove my conclusion that that 2+2-1+10=13.. however, i would be unable to prove that 2+z-1+10=13.

  because one of the elements, z-1, is unverifiable.

  Why no warnings against "fading" in the literature?

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it has been pretty firmly established that the wts monitors ex-jw discussion boards generally, this one in particular.. on this forum and others, the strategy of "fading" is often discussed.

  fading can be defined as gradually lessening one's activity in the congregation to the point where he virtually "disappears", becoming inactive & attending virtually no meetings.

  thus, a more or less "normal" life can be achieved without the stigma and privations of disfellowshipping.. other ideas on how to get around the pain of disfellowshipping discussed on this type of forum have been discussed, if not in the literature, at least in boe letters.
