  The salvation paradox

  by OverlappingGeneralizations in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  another thing that has bothered me-.

  if the righteous and the unrighteous will be resurrected, and will have the same chance at paradise as the hard-core dubs, what was the point of being hard core?

  i know the point used to be "well, armageddon is gonna happen this weekend, and you'll survive and they won't!

  These glaring and insurmountable moral paradoxes are proof positive that it's all complete bollox.

  If there is a 'God', he's given us a conscience and moral 'law' written in our hearts. These are a much better guide than a lot of scary old Jewish stories written by ancient priests to frighten the people into continuing obedience. Throw your Bible in the trash, it's not needed. All you need to follow is your heart and conscience. Even the apostle Paul admitted it:
  

  Romans 2:14: "For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves, 15in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them, 16on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus."

  The conventions and the memorial are a pain in the butt for me.

  2. experiences

  i can imagine those of you who have a spouse that is not awake and how hard it must be.

  i have a 90 year old mom who is a jw and still puts in 12 hrs a month in field service.

  the brothers and sisters are always picking her up for conventions, meetings and memorials and as much as i try to avoid them, there are times when i just cant.

  Did Geoffrey Jackson Commit Perjury, or Just "Spiritual Warfare"?

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  mr. jackson was pressured by angus stewart to answer if the org condoned corporal punishment, to which he openly stated that the org does not condone corporal punishment for j.w.

  children.

  this "fact" has never been revealed in the org's literature, in fact, this article which was published under geoffrey jackson's supervision, by definition demonstrates the org's approval of corporal punishment for j.w.

  He absolutely prevaricated and lied, on various matters.

  It was an incredible expose of the GBs duplicitous mentality and willingness to bend or hide the truth to protect the organisations image.

  There's enough apostate cannon fodder in that testimony to seriously tarnish the GBs image for a lot of JWs, if only they had minds open enough to see it for what it is.

  SOLA SCRIPTURA VS THE MAGISTERIUM

  by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

  1. watchtower

  the reinvention of the magisterium.

  in catholicism, the magisterium is the authority that lays down what is the authentic teaching of the church.

  for the catholic church, that authority is vested uniquely in...... a) the pope and.

  Geoffrey Jackson kept calling the Bible their "constitution" , which I thought a bit odd. Did he mean similar to the American constitution or a company constitution? Either way, those are both manmade, imperfect documents.

  Funny how some apostates cry "it's a harmful cult, its a harmful cult " then defend that cults right to distribute cult material.

  While freedom of expression is important, any ban on religious drivel and cult brainwashing material is completely laudable.

  The JW only Watchtowers and Kingdom Ministerys will no longer be printed. You'll have to view them on your tablet/notebook at the meeting, or print them off yourself to bring.

  A word of advice clining to their persecutors ...

  by SecretSlaveClass in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  let me start off by saying i do not presume to have the answers, i am merely offering advice.. i will preface this posting with this, cutting a long story short:.

  my sister was raped by a popular jw lad wh's dad happen to be a rock star elder.

  in the attempt to fight him off his face was covered with scratches and it was reported to the police ( instead of rape he was sentenced on the lesser charges of sexual battery and assault) but he confessed to having violent, consentual sex.

  Meditation answered my vital questions!

  by iconoclastic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  some time back, i was listening to sara lazar, a neuroscientist at massachusetts general hospital and harvard medical school, one of the first scientists to take the anecdotal claims about the benefits of meditation and mindfulness and test them in brain scans..

  that day i thought i should test meditation myself.

  though i reaped many benefits (physiological and mental) over a period, what i want to share with you is the spiritual benefit i got.

  I don't want the Watchtower's version of paradise.

  i am writing this in the hopes that it may help someone in a debate.

  i personally have not had a chance to discuss it with anyone but that is true for most other topics.

  i think is a good one to analyze.

  Idiotic thread.

  "Can't think of what to hate about JWs today, so I'll say that life forever in a paradise on earth would suck."

  What next..say you'd hate to win the national lottery?
