  there is a visitor brother in town and from what ive been told, he has been a missionary for many years and they were having a get together for him.

  i took my mom to that get-together yesterday and stayed for a few minutes.

  i heard a group around a table with the visitor brother talking about how hard it was getting in the world with so many distractions and that many of the brothers were falling into the trap and leaving jehovahs organization.

  How accurate is the Bible?

  by WireRider in

  how accurate is the bible?

  the "compiled" version (council of nicaea) was not established for hundreds, or even thousands, of years after events happened.

  stories were handed down generation to generation to generation before being written down.

  I don't belive in any miracles or prophecies of the Bible, but there really is some completely inaccurate nonsense in the opening post.

  Does Anyone Still Believe in God?

  by LaurenM in

  do any of you ex-jw's still believe in god?

  even with the new rebranding/softening of this religion, i still don't see how people can believe in him.

  the god of the old testimate is an angry murderer who approved rapes and slavery and killed thousands of men, women and children.

  Chair tinkering on their sinking ship and a few new splashes of whitewash on their grave full of dead men's bones.

  The revamped midweek meeting is still 1 hour 45mins. Hopelessly too long still but they just can't bear to dump the pointless' book study' as a sad hangover from the old home book study arrangement. What was once the most fun, brief and relaxed meeting (and scripturally correct per the first century mode) in people's homes was bastardised by being merged into a far too long and dull giant midweek meeting.

  Although most JWs will privately rejoice at the long overdue dumping of the torturous and hated TMS, these latest changes will do absolutely nothing to boost rapidly falling mid week attendance. Probably make it worse.

  Shows also they still don't give a shit about families with young children enduring such a long tedious borefest with the little ones not getting home to bed until well after 9pm.

  the feeling that you're never good enough.

  the feeling that you're wicked and evil.. .

  because i'd give anything not to feel this way.

  Religious guilt and neurotic feelings can be hard to shed. I've found the only way to do it is to genuinely prove to yourself and accept that the Bible is not the' word of God' and there is no God of the Bible.

  Are we seeing the beginning of the end for Kingdom Halls?

  by nicolaou in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after all, "at this time,over 13,000 kingdom hall projects and 35 assembly hall projects are needed worldwide.".

  hmmm, not too sure about that but all the recent re-branding seems to be heading .

  could this be the long game?

  Yes, they are about to commence a massive rationalization of kingdom halls. Many will be sold with as much sharing of halls as possible. JWs will be traveling further to get to meetings. The midweek meeting will eventually be phased out, replaced by home based' book studies' via internet streaming.

  Repentance verses Compassion.

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was often told that the only disfellowshipping offence for a j.w.

  is non repentance.. what then is non repentance to the w.t?.

  my answer " rejecting " w.t" doctrine and rules that demand repentance.. now the truth is i do reject " w.t" doctrine and rules.
